I hate Eifel circuits, and they're almost always in the events, Arghhhhhh.......

Anyone has a good setup please?

Well, I golded all but the Eifel event, I used the suspension, differential, and braking tunes from here. Either set up works for me

Power and weight, Kept power at base level and lowered weight to Weight reduction stage 1

I golded all first time out using the `97 Type R RM (race modified). The key for me was the aero downforce, set at 15 (max) for the front, and dialed back to 6 for the rear. Do the stage 3 engine mod, mid-range turbo, lower the suspension and set it softish (6 front, 7 rear) set your gears for each race to max out at the end of the longest straight. Easy win. Prize car extremely unimpressive.

I ran a '97 Type R with an oil change and a few upgrades to bring it to 215HP. Hardest one was Motegi just due to the short length of it.

This one was easiest in my case.


Also god forbid the FF cars and economic tyres.

Think it depends what your car is good at, I just had a ton of understeer there so I struggled to catch up. Weirdly the Eifel Kart track was fine, they're usually the hard ones.

Well, again, if you use the RM `97, you can dial out the understeer by setting the front downforce to max, rear downforce to medium - minimum. Then, just keep up your momentum, trail-braking into the turns puts maximum traction on the front wheels until you see your exit line, then ease in the throttle. You can carry more speed through the corners than any of the competition, because none of them are using aero. I was able to take the lead with a full lap to go on most of these courses. The real challenge now would be to dial back the horsepower to increase the payout, but I'm already maxed at 20M.

Must retry Deep Forest, should be easy to gold that one, i was playing half asleep last night...
