Mercedes-Benz 190 E 2.5-16 Evolution II 1991

Even the stock settings for the 190 E is good, but it does have issues, especially regarding gears and power oversteer. These settings help to eliminate them. The basic car has 12.8 lbs / HP. Not the lightest and its effect shows up in acceleration. You might want to adjust the Final Gear for individual tracks because, otherwise, you may be using a 4-speed transmission.

On the stock tires, with its weight, drivers will want to use the basic out-in-out technique of taking curves, to keep up momentum and for control. Beware of less skilled drivers taking the wide entrance as an invitation to dive-bomb your car.

Toyota 86 GRMN, 2016

What a wonderfully handling car! Lots of grip, very dependable.

With its low Horse Power, you might want to adjust the gear range for shorter tracks. The torque curve is notched and both curves fall off sharply, so shift gears wisely. While I didn't adjust the brake balance, the front tires do wear more quickly than the rears. The stock car comes with a rear, adjustable wing.

Subaru BRZ GT300 RS 2021

This is an interesting GT.3 car. Not necessarily the quickest, but, with a bit of tuning, the rough edges can be toned down. It doesn't seem to take curbs well and you still have to take care getting back on the accelerator in exits. A bit of rear downforce was added, but the car comes with the front loaded to the max. It also uses gasoline quickly.

VW Scirocco Gr.4

Since this is an FWD car, it gives very consistent times within tenths or even thousandths of a second. The aria offers good control of this car, even if you stomp on the pedals. You still have to drive it, though.

Chevrolet C3 Corvette Convertible 1969

There are two C3s in GT7; this is the convertible version and its specs are different than the hardtop's.

This is a difficult car to tune and drive. Its weight and weightshift need to be accounted for while driving. This aria was tested on a number of widely different tracks, so it should be a good general, basic tune. The car takes some turns better by loading the front wheels with a bit of weighshift by trail braking when necessary. There is lots of toque and it is all below the midpoint of the rev range, so be careful when getting back on the throttle. Be gentle on both the throttle and brake pedals, so you may have to brake a bit early.

As tuned here, it handles hairpins surprisingly well, so be careful that you don't dive bomb leading cars. The car now seems to be fairly consistent and reliable, although outside tire wear can be a problem on some tracks.
