Tuned with TCS 1 and ABS 1 only.

I found this tune hidden in the depths of my garage. It was tuned on Dirt tyres but it seems to work well on Snow tyres for the new seasonal. I haven't achieved gold yet with it but I am keeping up with @chrisspeed281 time until I mess up on a tricky section. I am not a great rally driver but it is a definite gold tune and very easy to drive. I hope you enjoy it and it gets you gold. Also, I never published the dirt tune for some reason, not sure why. It is possible I borrowed some settings from another tuner (ages ago) and tinkered with them to make it more me. If so, credit to whoever it was, if this tune is all me from the start, well done me. :)

Pictures to come once I have achieved gold myself :)

4WD was working well for me, X-BOW is pretty handy around that track too. Unsuprisingly. Was it just me or did Tsukuba feel like it was an ice rink at times? Didn't seem to have as much grip on the outside of the track as it usually does.

Did you use my ZZII tune from this garage? If so, i can add that to the list.
 
Hey there @shaunm80 .

Seasonals done.

The rally event and i didn't quite see eye to eye. I'm currently behind Chris on this event. The other ones however, worked out nicely.

13.4xx points on the non-race car drift with your M4 drift tune(600pp) nerfed down to 560pp and added camber.

10.xxx points on race car drift using my go to car. A BMW Vision GT tuned by Team Shmo.


On Tsukuba i went with a ZZII i used for an older event, the hotlap around Suzuka that was all the rage a while back.

It worked out better than i expected. As of now i'm ahead of @chrisspeed281 by .066 of a second. Gonna be interesting to see how this turns out..


Anywho... Hope you and all the others here have a great day/evening.

:cheers:

Hello @LordJCS

Yes, we are close at the Super Laps (i don't need to speak about Drift Events ;) ) but how long ? I'm not sure i can improve my times. At Tsukuba i was surprised how fast the VW Nardo was and at the Snow the red Banner at the left close before the finish line make me angry

Have a nice evening

It would seem we have a common enemy.. That pesky Banner/barrier.. There are some more places around Chamonix i dislike.

At first glance of the leaderboard at Tsukuba i was very surprised to see a VW Nardo attatched to your name, and the level of speed it seemed to have. Who's tune is on that thing?
 
So far so good at Tsukuba for me. All of your 600pp tunes I've tried so far have been relativity easy. The only one I had trouble getting gold with was Jaguar XKR-S '11, and I'm not sure if that one is yours or mine (I didn't label it :dunce:). Winners are GT-R Nismo'14, ZZII, GT by Citroen, M4 Coupe, and Aston Martin VGT. Next up ill try your LFA NBR Package '12 and Lambo Miura.

The Nardo is tuned by myself and with the Cadillac Cien i did a easy 0:53 Lap.... at Chamonix i was on a flying Lap with the Ford Focus WRC ( 1.5 sec in front of my ghost) before the 🤬 red banner kicked me out

Confirmed - NO Oil Change 👍



(1) - 5.500
(2) - Missing 2nd FG... ;)

Review/Time:

Will edit post after missing info (Final Gear)... :)
Click to expand...
You will need to hit 140mph. 150mph t/s for this event... if you have the bar about 3/4s across the transmission setting bar/graph, this should be a perfect fit for this event.. I will double check the actual FG when I load up the PS3 later.
 
@alvaritoteam - Did you buy The Crew season pass at christmas? If so, do you know how much the new cars they are releasing are going to cost? I know they release it on tuesday and which cars they have given season pass holders a weeks early access too. I just need to save up some credits to maximise my time before it goes public.

Edit: For other thread members.

Did anyone else get a PS4 at christmas, or have any plans to upgrade to one in the near future? Be good to have a regular crew for that game. It is a really good game but it is best played in a crew of 2-4 people to maximise the bonuses they offer.

Nice time.. Now if only I can get somewhere close to that time, not holding out much hope. That snow seasonal is so touchy, some taps on the snow are fine and don't DQ you, other innocuous taps when you are really on it just DQ you straight away. Darn thing..

Just did a few laps, but for me the best way is not to use the brakes, but to lift the throotle and keep the car on the inside of the curve...

You're right, some of the snow banks can be touched and no DQ, but others... oh well, PD programming at the best...

Oh, and don't forget the "shortcut"...
