Renault R.S.01 2016

The car is very reliable here, but you may want to decrease the downforce to your comfort level, for a higher top speed.

That was a good night of racing, even if it did rain.

Next week will be a Special Event, so get ready!
 
Abarth 500 2009

These settings try to mitigate some typical front-wheel drive characteristics, but you still need to manually help yourself with your driving style, too.

Has anyone noticed the brakes on the Abarth 500 being grabby? Also, even with moderate braking at speed they tend to pull right. Maybe since I’m right handed. But seems I need to be very delicate with the brakes on the Abarth.
 
Ford GT 2006

The Ford GT struggles with some tracks, especially ones with elevation changes and certain curves. These settings help to mitigate some of those issues.

The additional ballast helps with loss of grip through elevation changes.

You may want to adjust the gears for each track.

The power curves don't seem to match actual responsiveness. Try raising the revs beyond what the curves suggest.

Braking is a definite problem with this car. Practice your braking points.

Sauber Mercedes C9 1989

The C9 handles well on a variety of tracks, but keep in mind that it has only 2.77 lbs per HP pressing down on the tires. Be careful on corner exits.

Decreasing downforce to a safe level for a track with a long straight, such as LA Sarthe, can make a huge time difference.

NISMO 400R 1995

The 400R was a tricky car to tune, so these settings were tested on a lot of tracks to try to manage a wide variety of challenging curves and corners. As you can see in the video, the car handles curbs well. This is a 4WD car, so you still have to acclimate to it, to make it behave.

Let me know if you find issues that still aren't resolved.

I just now tested the Abarth 500 on KDP Y+M Reverse with my previous aria @ 342 PP and found it to be very reliable. No more than .75 of a second difference in two 3.2 minute laps. The brakes did not grab or pull the car to one side.

Compare your settings with mine to see if you can resolve your issues with the car.
 
McLaren P1 GTR 2016

This is a fun but monster car. It must be respected.

This particular aria is set to 800 PP, to do some of the built-in 800 PP challenges. The default Racing Hard tires barely get the job done and won't be fun, so go up one level to Mediums. There is very little power oversteer, if you use normal driving habits. There is very little understeer. Fun, fun, fun!

This combination of car, track, and settings is an excellent environment in which to practice your throttle control!
