How is this setup with fishtailing?

Once my tires get spinning I slide all over the place.
 
Try setting the rear up so its stiffer than the front. A setup like this one above will encourage under steer
 
This is a really nice tune, zenophobe. I applied this and then entered the Extreme DTC Nurburgring lap. I kept the HP in the low 500's, and did the setup exactly as you have here. I beat my personal best time on the Nordschleife by 14 seconds (not to mention having the lead before Flugplatz). Admittedly, i am still learning and have not broken 7 minutes in any car, but I have been running consistently in the same time up to now.
This tune is so stable, and even allows for easy recovery when the tail comes out due to... let's call it "grass proximity". I ran this twice and feel like it really needs no changes.
I am so happy to have this car. I was actually watching the UCD for the Audi touring cars, but this came up first, so I pounced on it, and, wow... how nice is this to drive? I may drive this every day now, just for practice.
Thanks.

I did not find this to be the case. Even at speed in some corners the car goes where you point it. Maybe mathematically it should encourage understeer, but I did not find that to be the case in practice.
 
Just had my first laps with the car and it indeed runs great !!!

Bought it, engine and body overhaul for 800k and fresh oil.
Bought some Race Soft tyres and did 2 quick laps in practice.

Best lap so far is a 6:26 and that is with NO changes to any settings whatsoever. And it is running 466 BHP at the moment.

But default settings already feel very good so won't need all that much changes to make it realyl go like a train.

I am kinda in doubt if I will buy the stage 2 and 3 engine tuning since this can't be reversed :/ Same goes for stage 3 turbo although this can be reversed.

Will post later if I made changes to the setup and only if it helps to improve laptimes.

For the OP, please before you start setting up a car make sure you can run laptimes which are on the very ege of the car's limit and only then start tuning. Otherwise you will never know if it is a improvement or not and adjust settings 1 by 1 to really feel what you change and if it is faster.

But ye top car as I expected. 👍

I just did a race with it on cape ring,hmm Tail likes to slide out...guess i gotta be more gentle.
 
so you figured out the best setup for this beast?
It is my favorit car, super fast!
i am just a very mediocre tuner, and i want every tenth i can get out of it!

please update this tune, as it's the only decent i can find on the web.
