Car: 2000 TVR Tuscan Speed 6
Course: Cape Ring South
Laps: 5
Total Time: 7:11
Average Lap: 1:26.2*
Credits: $200,000
Experience: 70,000

*The Average lap is the lap time you'd have to put down every lap to match the computer's total time listed.
 
Any ideas to make it challenging?
 
I suppose it's not allowed to RM the ugly car ?!
 
It's a shame you can't use a RM version, makes it look a little less... Ew.
 
I think the suspension is actually made from jelly... Handle's awfully...
 
Stock Tuscan with SS & SH tyres, no oil change, results:

1st attempt, I have to share; while overtaking on the final hairpin bend into the S/F straight I ran wide... straight up pit lane ! :dunce::lol: .. folks, be more careful than myself.

With SS, an easy win but I learnt the track. With SH, came 2nd by 4 secs, I did not have anymore time available, so I will re-visit with stock (SH) tyres this evening.
 
Why another event on Cape Ring? There are two races and one time trial this week on the track.

Its just like A-Spec all over again, the same couple of tracks repeated a lot. We still haven't seen Le Mans, Fuji, SSR7, Eiger etc. at all in the seasonal events from memory.
 
I hear you, ed. Exactly my feelings. The DTM on Nürburgring GP is also almost the same as in the expert DTM series. Quite disappointing events this week.

It really is an ugly car, and the numbers on the digital speedometer are huge, like it was designed by the same guy who invented the large button phone for old people.

As soon as I won the event I gifted the car to a friend so he wouldn't have to waste any money on it. 1st car I've ever given away.
 
I actually bought one of these for the B spec race for British cars .

Mine handled great with no suspension mods , just racing softs.
 
Seems like I must belong to a minority who does like the Tuscan....
Anyway, I'll give it a try this afternoon, I want my credits to buy my worshipped 787B :D
 
The car handles fine, forgiving actually, although it is ugly. It's kind of like some one dressing to the extreme to a club.

I had one pass me one morning, I was going on the Motorway while it was going off the motorway just at 5 meters of me.

The car looks stunning in real life, a lot better then the Ford Escort before it!
 
I don't know how some people manage to do this on a stock car... the closest I could get was 2nd position, a dozen seconds away from 1st. 👎
 
I'll skip this one.

I'm not to fond of TVR's and 200.000 isn't that much ;)
 
Well, I actually like the design of the Tuscan, in fact it's one of my favourites in the game. :) I'm not sure I'd want one in real life though, their philosophy regarding safety devices is a bit strange...
 
eh, I maxed this one out, it's handling bizarre to me, like a soapbox derbyer --- but fun nonetheless
 
Can't believe people think the Tuscan is ugly! If you see one in real life they are jaw-droppingly stunning.

haven't seen one, but I likes this car ;)
 
With a wheel the TVR handles great. And don't use SRF..

I also think the car's beautiful.

Would you mind posting your tuning setup? having real trouble getting this car to handle well. Thanks.
 
could someone post their tuning setup for the tvr? cant seem to get it to handle at all! thanks!
 
God dam I put the Race Mod on this only the other night. It's a beast round Nurburgring and the engine growls. I love engines that sound like an angry Lion.

Looks like I have to buy the stock car to qualify for the race, I won one I RM'd. 👎
 
I find TVR's always a real pleasure to drive. Not easy to master/setup maybe, but great fun. Looking forward to this one.

As for the looks, well... not exactly elegant, but it definitely looks great. And it's got loads of personality. You know exactly what it is when you see or hear it.
 
Just beat it with a stock TVR, only oil change. Laptimes around 1:25.5 :)
 
This thing is hard but regarding the looks the Tuscan 2 is a lot better - a lot softer
 
You guys are better than me. With only an oil change and some aero mods to improve the look I was only able to get to 4th place in two tries. I'm going to need to make some upgrades before I can get to 1st.
 
Can't use my RM. Great. :/
