This car rips up the Intermediate Level Seasonal Event at Mid Field Raceway. In fact, I just applied the tune (finally) and I completely forgot to put in the aftermarket transmission -- and it still ran away with the win. After the race I went back and put on the transmission so I won't have to worry about it in the future.

Hey Shaun
I've been away for a few days and visited a friend today. He's got this "beast" tune set up on one of his settings page. So I had a go on the midfield seasonal 
Forgive me for taking off the TC, but I was sure I'd be fine
It was pretty stable under braking for a big lump of American muscle, even at the foot of the hill 👍 The gear ratio's work quite nicely, you can get some great speed up the hill and down the final straight in a draft
Good use of engine braking in MT can give some nice results too If I had to say anything negative, it can really only be that I don't think the racing brakes are needed
I know they look cool, but they're just too much for SH tyres IMO, too much braking force can cause more problems than too little. I've been running a lot of no abs races and usually find a mid-range setting with standard brakes is more than enough to stop the car on sports tyres, a click or two higher with abs on is usually all you really need. But hey, its your car and it works just fine as it is 👍 Just thought I'd share my experiences I can't say The C12 is a car I'd normally choose (there's a loop-hole that let's me use an NSX-R in this event
) and it was a bit of an animal if mistreated 
But it was just wild enough to provoke into some really nice powerslides. What!? It may not be the fastest way round a corner but it's great fun 
Very nice tune dude! Great job

It's funny that you said that @Thorin Cain -- You know that I prefer to drive "replicas" most often, but you might not know that when it comes to non-replica type tuners, 99% of my tunes come from this garage. However, like you, I tend to skip the Racing Brakes and leave Standard Brakes on my street cars, otherwise I have to really turn the balance down. It's usually only if I'm running racing tires will I install Racing Brakes...If I had to say anything negative, it can really only be that I don't think the racing brakes are needed
It's unfortunate because I love painting my calipers! PD really needs to just allow us to paint all our calipers. Even if we had to "buy" a paint-able standard quality brake setup in order to be able to paint them...that's fine with me.

I used to put them on everything too so I could make use of the paint option
But someone "challenged" me to turn of abs off and drive round a Kart track in a 550pp McLaren on SH tyres 
The brakes locked up so quickly that it felt like I was speed skating After that it changed my mind from practical over aesthetic for my brakes It would be a pretty cool if they would let us "replace" the original brakes with a paintable one. It shouldn't be too hard to do. Even a sports brake kit with slight improvements over stock would be nice

I am glad to hear that you liked this tune. Most of my tunes work just as well, sometimes better, when TC is turned off so thats a good thing with my tunes. I use racing brakes on most tunes as a personal preference but you are right about them having a locking up effect at times. I don't get that too often though as my pad is so old, it seems to treat racing brakes as standard brakes these daysHey Shaun

I recently had a discussion about brakes on my thread and pretty much came up with the same conclusion. Standard brakes are fine but you just need to add a few clicks to make them have the same effect as racing brakes.
My list of tunes for this event is growing quickly now so I will add this car to the list as well. NSX-R. Nice car but not what id call a muscle car.. perhaps PD have different definitions over in Japan about the word Muscle.
Interesting choice indeed. Going to add this one to the listI use your Land Rover Range Rover Evoque Coupe Dynamic '13, for the Expert Level Rain Masters (500PP Wet Tyres) and it was a bit wet for the Land Rover but it got the job done and won easily, thanks Shaun.
I love this car. It is a shame that it is standard but it has a great feel to it when you really push this car. One of the best american cars in the game in terms of handling ability I think.This car rips up the Intermediate Level Seasonal Event at Mid Field Raceway.

I will get these two new finds added to the list. Thanks for letting me know

It should do some damage at Fuji and Monza too, the train just keeps pulling I know the NSX was a bit cheeky, I just noticed it on the eligible car list and thought why not. I can never pass up an opportunity to use an NSX
There's a good few more fine examples of America muscle to use, I've got a few sitting around waiting for my next chance to play 👍
