I have no use for it.
That error is given for cars that they have banned from being sold in the AH, e.g. it happens if you try to sell any PO cars now. So that suggests they have banned it from being sold in the AH for some reason.Why can't I sell that drift Ferrari? It always gives me a network error. I have no use for it.
Doesn't sound ideal for Goliath? Having said that, there's no need for an ideal tune. You can beat the AI with a time around the 11 minute mark. In the Lotus Eleven I did 10:30 in the Trial, and that resulted in no AI or other human finishing before the 30 second timeout. I just figure when sharing a tune that the bigger the margin I can win by, the easier it is for someone slower to win at all. I'm not aware of any significantly quicker AWD options, but Rayne SE has shared a RWD Esprit that he has done 10:17 for the Trial with.I used my trusty Lotus Exige S for the Trial as it was already tuned for 800....not the fastest on the straights but is mighty in the corners and for acceleration.

I used my tuned trusty AWD Exige S as well . At Goliath, I came in so early, that no one else behind me finished the race. The Playground event was a pain in the ... though. Took 5-6 retries before I was put together with capable players.
Yeah, for PG except capable team mates, you need a proper tune as a prerequisite. Without that you're the useless team mate A lot of people don't get it. Rally tires, suspension, tire pressure, acceleration gearing, some differential tuning and then the car choice. Like when there was an event at mud kickers with track toys. People coming in with stock race cars, instead of using an off-road tuned Clio FE. This week also I've seen immediately that the Galant with street tires was not competitive and could not fit into the PI with rally tires, although tuned for off-road. After using the Impreza 22B with rally tires it was a whole other level.Nice. I had the opposite experience with PG event...luckily I did it with a convoy of 5 club mates. We entered and came up against a team of 2 low level players...they gamely persisted with the events even though we were easily beating them....did it again the next day with some more clu mates and the entire opposing team dropped out after 1 event so that went even quicker I usually avoid PG games as I am pretty useless at them so it was a nice experience for once
Is the Exige tune shared? Did you notice what time you did for Goliath? I'm just asking because it's so much work trying to produce a really good tune that it's only worth doing it for a car that has a realistic prospect of being extremely good.I used my tuned trusty AWD Exige S as well .

Thanks, I think it probably can't match the Lotus Eleven, I've amended my tune for that, and I've now done 10:16 for Goliath from a standing start with it.It wasn't, now it is (DeliriousRex5). I've reworked it a bit as it was not up to my latest standards . I didn't notice the trial time, but did the race again, it's around 10:50.
I was focusing on the designs the past year. Now that those are mostly done, I'm slowly catching up on the tunes, although I barely get any downloads, so I don't bother much with done tunes, I share the new ones. I think people are looking for top speed tunes. And then they are all over the place in online races, because it doesn't handle . I have mostly grip and handling tunes, so the cars go through bends like on rails
Regarding the work to produce a good tune, I don't think it's that much. Once you get the experience, there are certain principles how to modify the tune to get the result you want by moving the settings in a certain way. I can do a basic tune in 3 minutes and then maybe fine tune it in 5-10 minutes. However some cars are just built better for certain tune configurations then others.
Well, I did a tune for the Eleven and it did the race in 10:50 as well. But as said, I'm doing handling tunes.Thanks, I think it probably can't match the Lotus Eleven, I've amended my tune for that, and I've now done 10:16 for Goliath from a standing start with it.
You're right, the tuning part doesn't take that long, it's trying out all the different build combinations that can take a huge amount of time. The difference between my first Lotus Eleven tune and the second one, which is over 10 seconds quicker for Goliath, is pretty much all the build rather than the tuning settings.
I gave the Exige a try. My Eleven tune has the following stats:Well, I did a tune for the Eleven and it did the race in 10:50 as well. But as said, I'm doing handling tunes.
