Asciant's Tunes - Latest Aston Marin V12 Vantage 10

[asciant]

Welcome and thanks for checking out my tunes.

Tunes will not be perfect for every situation, but may suit individual styles and tastes.

All tunes are tested on Suzuka Circuit (dry) with all aids off, tyre wear and fuel consumption on and real grip reduction on edge of circuit. Tunes are tested with Sports Soft and Racing Hards (times will be provided).

My tuning philosophy is to tune for balance and performance, leaning slightly more towards rigidity as it suits my style. I also consider the sustainability of a tune in an endurance scenario and test all my tunes with tyre wear and fuel consumption on.

Please feel free to provide feedback.

Subaru BRZ S '12

Comments, Times and Performance
Tuner Comments:
Fun car to drive, capable of decent times and appears to have a good tyre wear to fuel consumption ratio, which is important for anyone looking at endurance type scenarios.

This is my first public tune, I tested at Suzuka dry with a full fuel payload and Sports Soft tyres. I was able to consistently complete 2:14's, with Racing Hards I was able to do 2:11's.

Time trials
Suzuka Circuit (dry), Real Edge Grip Reduction and Sports Soft Tyres.

Aston Martin V12 Vantage '10

Comments, Times and Performance
Tuner Comments:
I have always been a fan of Aston Martins, so I thought I would try my hand at tuning one of these beasts.

I found this car to be quite a balanced package and certainly a car that needs to be respected to ensure consistent lap times. One thing I noted was that this car has a lack of downforce on the front, which at times make it difficult to remain on the racing line on high speed corners of Suzuka. Some throttle control overcomes this issues as I was unable to tune it out of the car.

Time trials
Suzuka Circuit (dry), Real Edge Grip Reduction and Sports Soft Tyres.

I tried the BRZ tune last night. The car felt very solid and balanced. I like the light touch for the tune, the car was much more stable than the other settings I was using. At some point I'd like to try out the Aston Martin V12 Vantage tune after I drive some of my other cars that need a test drive. Again, great job on the BRZ. I look forward to trying any future tunes.
