Pink works really well, actually, although I prefer a more pastel / baby pink, e.g. GT pasteltone 010 has a slightly more orangey hue to it (like the "Pink Panther" Land Rovers).Splendid! I may make it passionate pink for the lolz then
The polarised paints are a giggle, too (e.g. GT polarized 010-P).

Ill have to try those out, and maybe þry Raspberry pearl from the i-MievPink works really well, actually, although I prefer a more pastel / baby pink, e.g. GT pasteltone 010 has a slightly more orangey hue to it (like the "Pink Panther" Land Rovers).

Driving the Lexus VGT is like trying to drift a turbocharged shopping trolley.

I can't remember how to read the suspension settings (under or oversteer; which settings are "backwards" in the game etc.), but that diff setting is ... interesting!
Then again, this car is a bit too eager to rotate. You've got me interested in trying to tune it now, and that never happens...

Have you ever drifted a shopping trolley? That's so satisfying.
A turbo would just improve it.

Can you get the paintchips from it?

I believe you do, just not the Brush Stroke effect.

just did the Seasonal Event for this car. And I have to say, I'll agree with the consensus around here. The car sounds amazing. There's this secondary sound that you here, especially when you decelerate and shift down gear. There's this whining sound that really catches your ear. I don't know where is that coming from (could be from the hybrid system or the transmission or something else), but it just sounds brilliant. And the exhaust note is really something to note. Once I got the car, I looked at the spec sheet. 612hp with about 1080kg, and it's only 627PP? hmmm, that's a little odd for a race car.

So I think the cause of the horrendous "lift off oversteer" is the hybrid system recharging... Hence the crazy decel setting required on the diff, because it appears to recharge through the driven wheels only.
Interestingly, you can recharge the "battery" pretty easily, and there is very little drop in power once it's "flat". Did they get the numbers the wrong way around?
After a very quick faff, I got just about driveable results with the springs set 60:40 front:rear (same total stiffness as stock), downforce 40:60 (I hate aero understeer, but it really helps here) and damper / ARBs to suit. DS3, no ABS (9:6 BB). Diff something like 5 / 10 / 20.
Seems like an abomination of a setup, to me.
The main problem is that the recharging is not consistent. There are driving style things you can try to help, such as change to a higher gear just before braking (to force the recharging to cut out sooner), holding the high gear towards the apex. Another thing is trailing throttle, which can allow for a more open diff and perhaps allow for more sensible suspension settings. Minimising trail braking helps, especially without ABS.

That would be the Hybrid system, its basically the same thing you hear with the TS030. Seems more pronounced and audable on this car though.

Knew it. I haven't driven the TS030, but I was 80% sure that the whining sound was coming from the hybrid system, because I immediately noticed that there's a battery meter on the HUD, indicating that the car has an electric motor. I figured it would have an interesting feature that normal cars don't have.
That aside, what I did also notice from the Lexus VGT was its performance. It has trouble gripping at 1st and 2nd gear (unlike other race car VGT such as its cousin Toyota FT-1 VGT and the BMW VGT which have more grip), but once it gets up to speed in 3rd, it's nothing short of brilliant.

Pretty drivable out of the box... Tuning? I don't see what the big deal is, I really don't.

I just tried it stock with ABS, and it was fine. The aero understeer is still awful, though, on DS3.

The Intro of the Lexus VGT is pretty good!!
Is it a preview of what GT7 ll looks like???
