That folks is my last few tunes for a little while. More tunes shall appear in August. If possible, when new seasonals' come out for A Spec in a few weeks time, could anyone who uses any of them, post the tune they used and whether it was successful. Also, it would be good if you could post a message on the seasonal thread relating to that particular seasonal with a link back to the tune itself? I usually do this myself but I won't be able too for a few weeks.

i appreciate those who are able to do this.

Keep posting to this thread and ill catch up when I return.

Shaun you want to have a bit of fun use your 458 italia 550pp on laguna...its the same set up as willow...i'm getting some good times 1.33.058 just on 2nd race now...it just sounds wicked and seems funny driving it on this track:) i don't know if 1.33's are fast but most enjoyable
 
shaunm80
I just used the Chevy Camaro Z28 and even at 500PP SH its an easy win. The Ferrari Scud is on my tail pipes buts its easy to keep him at bay.

This car is slidey but very controllable. The back end is a little looser than most 458 tunes I have tried, but it works well on DS3. This car is not great on tyre wear (such as willow springs 20 miles) but on super car festival, tuned car festival etc it is a real blast. This car really loves to eat up the corners.

This is a Mark 1 tune for me. Once I have more time in the future to get a better tyre wear version done, ill do that as mark 2. For now, I am happy with the results of this tune.

I really like the Ferrari 458 tune. I tried others before I resigned myself to the fact that none of them matched my driving style. This car was tough to tune but I was happy enough with the end result.

If I remember correctly, this tune is the one that needs aggressive driving to get the most out of it. It was the most fun to throw around a circuit when I was testing, The car itself is very forgiving when you push too hard.

This car is its original 600PP SS variation is a guaranteed gold at Bathurst. I am running around in it now and its hitting 208mph on the back straight. You have to take it easy up the hill as you can lose the rear end and get a wall collision penalty but once you got hold of that part of the car, you can slide this car around the top part with ease. Its a sweet ride.

So many Cars are fast at Bathurst. I guess the Track is more grippy. Yesterday i tried the Mercedes VGT. Unbeliveable good. Best Lap 2.05
Click to expand...
I haven't tried any of the VGT cars yet? Did you just slap on a set of SS tyres or did you retune the cars to make them work with SS tyres?
 
The Ford GT '05 is seriously good. I was 3 seconds ahead on the last lap. Hit a wall, spun and lost all momentum. I was 6 seconds behind and in the last 1/3 of the final lap, I managed to claw back the lead after the long straight and claim the win by 1 second. Very nice car indeed.

It's your Tune from Page 15. Only change the Tyres and Final Gear to 2980. For comparsion i run the Touring Car Championship with a 600PP GT3 Car and RH Tyres and Lap Time was 2.10
