Notes :
The MATECH Ford GT GT3 was famous back in 2007 and 2008.
This replica is based on the car. First of all, I can't get the weight of the real car at 1180kg, so I decided to use 1200kg and maintain the stock weight distribution at 47/53.
Power is at 550HP, this time I also provided the low power version, suitable for Blancpain spec of sort at 500HP.
Suspension of the real car was based on Eibach springs and 2 way Bilstein racing damper. I used high spring rate at 15kg/mm front and 20.20kg/mm rear. This gives very good stability at smooth tracks, with damper set on softer side to maintain composure on bumpy tracks and keep the rear stable. The balance is easily shifted with trail braking and sharp steering, giving good turn in and stable directional changes.
I have provided 3 sets of camber setup, each with tailored toe values. Try them all, use which one you prefer.
LSD is 2 way, with medium preload and high accel + braking. For gearing, the real car has Hewland 6 speed sequential, I used the same ratio fitted on the Ferrari 458 Italia GT3, and it works so well, and gives the ability to use the lower gears to maintain speed and stability through low and medium speed corners. Very useful on esses like at Suzuka. The car also uses Tilton Triple Plate clutch, so I installed triple plate clutch on this build.
The MATECH Ford GT GT3 was tuned and tested at Silverstone GP, Bathurst, Suzuka and Brands Hatch GP.
During testing, with 500HP low power and camber setup, it was capable of 2:02s at Silverstone GP and 1:59s at Suzuka on RH tire 
ENJOY 
which to choose? Anyone willing to post their current times in this group
My NSX GT2 replica I think only has 518PP running lowest aero 150/300. I used Hewland 5 speed ratio with low final to replicate real life top speed at 276+kmh, high camber all around and high lock LSD, on version 1.08 - stuck there for now 
. My time offline test drive at SSR5 was 1:28s after a couple of laps, and it wasn't a good run with a few too slow cornering speed, almost hit a wall entering the tunnel, then I touched the wall on the last right hander 
That's ok, I call that color 
. Not feeling like it's going to be a good competition for me 
.
, the information alone would be valuable for me, so far 
without messing up the other track 
Come to think of it, I got nothing good to advertise, all of my cars are slower than other tuners 
so I can use that as a fairly good gauge. I'm not totally happy with it yet but my times should be in line with others, just need to choose between comfort and control, or fast and with a learning curve. I have got some time left.
