You was fast in all Races and forget Nürburg because a Ferrari without Aids is not to handle for you and me. The Audi with 4WD was much easier to handle :)

You're right I sure did pick the wrong car with no aids on...lol...it was so funny trying to keep it on the track....next time i will be in the R8 too:)

The light



The lights take an eternity to go out...


A shame we didn't get to take the firebreathing racecars out for a spin though.. We'll do that the next time i guess..

They really do take a long time...but in the end i got the hang of it too....all i did was hold down accelerator and brake at the same time...and wait until start comes up then release brake...it seemed to work that way:)

Yes next time the other FITT car and both Corvette tunes.......and then the Race cars....i would like to try Shaun's mini again though...but need to look at my Controller and brake settings for it as i wasn't turning properly:tup:

So thanks for some Wicked racing i really did enjoy it:cheers:

I achieved on my first attempt, once I set this up, a score of 7983. This tune is capable of more than this if you want to spend the time to perfect each section.

Notes for tune:
1. Add Aero Kit Type A
2. Change wheels (if desired)
3. Add power upgrades and apply power limiter
4. Weight Reduction and add ballast
5. Check PP and it should need the oil Changing. If your PP is out of range do not change oil and adjust power limiter to reach PP.
6. Set gear box once all power upgrade and engine work has been completed.

Hey Badger,
Do you use MT or AT? I can't remember what times I was doing when this was created for the FITT challenge but I do remember it needed to be gear-changed at 6,000rpm to get the best out of her.
Great handling car though.

Auto transmission mate and set to what Shaun set it too which is 3.700....for the final gear
I find it hard enough with taking off the all the aids which i'm starting to get use too with this car at least...lol i really cant be bothered to use manaul gear shift...even though it would probably make me a better driver and get faster lap times....but i'm to old to change...lol
I normally drive with all the aids on...but after last night with the big boys i just couldn't keep up with the aids on....so i decided today to practice without them and manage to get about 10 secs off my lap time on Brands.... cheers Pete:cheers:

By the way yes it does handle very well 👍

The best thing PD could do for Auto drivers in GT7, is allowing you to set the upchange point for the gearbox. Some cars have no interest in revving all the way to the redline.
It would be a simple thing to add to the settings menu & make your experience a whole lot more enjoyable.
AT should work like in the real world at least.
I'm glad to hear you're working on driving without what I call the 'fun police'. The fact you've found 10 seconds in a 100 second laptime is reason enough to keep going.
My advice: pick you're favorite track and a car with low PP and circulate.
When you're comfortable, gradually work your way up the PP ranking.

Good luck mate :cheers:

That would be a good idea Pete..on the gearbox for GT7 And to make even more real have a kick down with the AT...that would be fun....we should all do a vote for it on the forum you never know if there's enough people involved they might look into it... 👍

And thanks for the advice on driving with no aids...the fun Police..thats funny:) its just like starting all over again and finding the right balance....i will give that a try...but on some tracks and seasonals i think i still might have to use a couple of aids...thanks Pete:cheers:

By the way do you use any of the aids?

The only aid I use is ABS1. I use a DS3 & I can control the throttle with no drama but trying to get fine brake control is almost impossible so a little help is what I need. Other than that, it's all in the thumbs 👍👍 :D
