Thank you all for the car finds so far. I have added them all the to the list. Has anyone tried a TVR for the expert race yet? That might be a rocket killer and would probably sound great too.
The TVR Tuscan Speed 6 '00 won the race easily beating the Rocket in the Expert race, I put the power limiter down so it can get to 520PP, but the Tuscan has problems with bad understeer using a wheel at this track, what I did to your tune is have no Camber and no Toe and it did improve the understeer a bit but it is not to bad, I also change the final gear to 3.290 to suit the track. I will try to improve the understeer more tomorrow on this car, other than the understeer this a fun car to drive :cheers:.
 
Yeeeees YEESSS weeeee

I am not surprised that the tune had understeer on this track. It was a one track tune, or at least it was supposed to be. FITT tunes are quite specific but I am happy to hear that it got a win on the new seasonal event. Once you have the understeer ironed out, let me (us) know what you did to the tune. Thanks :)
 
CoTM Reviews from @hall90

1:31.685 @shaunm80 Lancer Evolution X GSR P.P. '07 550P at the Trial Mountain Circuit on Sports Soft Tyres track set/ Real, overall this is a fun car to drive and it handles the corners so well and there is not much not else to say bout this car :cheers:.

1:29.812 @shaunm80 Lancer Evolution X GSR P.P. '07 550P at the Trial Mountain Circuit on Racing Hard Tyres track set/ Real, overall very good car sir but I like this car on Sports Soft tyres :cheers:.

1:28.318 @shaunm80 BMW Z8 '01 550PP at the Trial Mountain Circuit on Sports Soft Tyres track set/ Real, this car handles so well with me and I have no other issues with this car sir :cheers:, and also I tried your other BMW Z8 '01 550PP on Racing Hard Tyres I got 1:27.390 it handles not so well on these tyres for me and you can lose control in some corners on these tyres which I think is a setup issue.

An easy gold with this tune. I achieved a 1.49 with this setup and I am not that great on dirt. It should be faster in a better drivers hands :)

Tuned with TCS 1 and ABS 1 only.

Nice tune. Very stable. Able to push hard and still be stable.
Did the Intermediate Level Non-Racing Car Challenge (500PP Dirt Tyres) with it and got Gold after the 2nd to 3rd try. Cheers.

Presenting the Shotaliema RS200.

This one has been in the works a while. Now it's done. It's a all around rally tune that is also very good on the tarmac. Have fun with it, push it hard. The transmission is a low torque design to reduce wheel spin on the dirt.

This is the third Shotaliema tune, A co-operative tuning venture involving myself and @Otaliema from Bronze Dragon Tuning. We hope you enjoy these tunes and will continue to find interesting cars to put our twist on.

Pretty zippy tune. Nice.
 
I give up on trying to get the understeer out of the TVR Tuscan Speed 6 '00, its a shame but I have another car for the Expert race. I am now using a McLaren MP4-12C '10 and I am using your Suspension, LSD and Brakes only from your 550PP McLaren MP4-12C '10 tune, your suspension suits this track. 👍

Thanks. I am glad that I spent time tuning dirt setups now. They appear to be getting a good outing by people. :)

Thanks, This was a Joint setup with @Otaliema. It is nicely balanced for dirt tracks.

The iPod has been added to the list. No worries about the tuscan. At least I know it can win even with understeer in it. Thanks again. :)

This car was set up to win on the Nascar races. It makes the road races very easy but just watch the rear end doesn't step out when accelerating from sharp corners. Nice and easy is the key to this car.

if the transmission doesn't work for you. Try setting the max speed to 149mph when building the transmission and it has been shown to resolve the issues others have faced.

I used the daytona tune from the GT6 directory to win the other races in this series which is very good too.

Nice tune Shaun. You've done it again.
Car performed well with both tunes for Willow and High Speed Ring for Gold. *Tips hat* :bowdown:
 
Hey Shaun...:)

Three for three on the current seasonals with your Gold tunes...👍

2013 Jeff Gordon Chevy
2013 Land Rover Range Rover
2011 Elise

The NASCAR event took me the longest to Gold due to the aggressive AI. I LOVED the Range Rover and that event was just plain fun...very curious selection of AI cars though. I am loving the Elise now that I did all the Elise reviews in the COTM thread...I could race this event all day!

Great Job and thanks for all the work you invest in tuning cars...:bowdown:

Wow double-Wow!!! What an excellent tune Shaun. Just ran it in the Super category of Career Mode in the 650PP Apricot Hill 20-Minute Challenge and this was just perfect for it. The car ran like a beast even lapping numerous cars in the process for Gold. This one's a keeper bro. Hat's off again. :bowdown:

Thanks. This is my go to NASCAR tune when any seasonal events comes up. It hasn't failed to get me gold yet. Pretty good considering it is one of the earliest tunes I have in my garage now.
Hi Shaun, just won the expert race using a standard McLaren F1, but with your suspension and brake settings. Even beat Mr. Papp! Power setting is on 50.1%
This tune I shall add to the list. This would be the '94 car right? Nice work indeed. 50% power limiter sounds a lot but a win is a win. :)

No worries. Three great choices right there. Actually, the NASCAR isn't a choice as I have no alternative but great work none the less. Glad the tunes are working well with you.

This car was tuned because a friend of mine mentioned how good it was. I was pleased with the outcome of this tune so I am happy that it is working as well as always still.
 
Expert Level British Lightweight (520PP SH)
Light Car Company Rocket '07 (550PP SH) - Reduce PP to meet regs

Hi @shaunm80 , just tried the very Rocket with your tune. Very nice tune. One problem though.
In the Transmission settings, all adjustments were made according to instructions but somehow I couldn't get the 5th gear to reach 1.359 as indicated. The most it could have reached was 1.289.
(As a precaution I had reset Transmission just in case before adjusting Transmission, then began with Final Gear, Max Speed, Individual gears, then Final Gear...all accordingly).

I had changed oil before as per instructions then proceeded with the various settings. Everything else adjusted otherwise but for the 5th gear where the limit I could have adjusted to was 1.289.

The most I could make so far is 2nd place and I feel perhaps that last 5th Gear limitation may be keeping me back from the win. Any thoughts on how I can resolve that 5th Gear issue? Or is it perhaps the 1.359 was an error?

Retune the transmission using my transmission guide. it will work with most tracks and should solve any problems you have with my transmission settings. Link to this guide is on the first page of this thread.

Ok. Going to check it out. Will report back. Thanks.

UPDATE: Went to the 1st page as directed. All it says basically is:

Transmission setup guidelines for Exeter GT Tunes

When I create a transmission, unless the car is setup for a specific seasonal, the final gear (once the gears have been set) can be adjusted to suit any track you drive the car at. If the gears seem overly long, it may be due to the track that I initially tested at or high speed runs I was undertaking.

The only gears which need to be kept the same are those that are tuned for a single special (or seasonal) event or FITT entries as they are bespoke gear settings to get the maximum amount of speed out of the tune I have created.

Couldn't see how to or understand how to otherwise get that 5th gear to reach the target value.
Tried resetting the Transmission settings again but the issue remains the same for that 5th Gear limit.

@davidt33 it is very possible that @shaunm80 typoed 5th gear a gear of 1.259 would be more inline with the standard spread of a 5 gear custom transmission in GT6.
Shaunm normally sets the last gear full right and 1st gear full left than evens out the gears in the middle for a nice smooth curve. Unlike myself that makes wonky transmissions. So just run with what the game is giving you if the spread is a nice smooth curve
