I did the whole thing in a not quite stock miura the only add on was rs tires with all aids off except abs 1. But I couldn't win Nurb with SRF off, has anyoune tried a stock miura (w/ racing softs) and only abs 1 on nurb and won?

Edit: I think it was racing softs, maybe racing hards but most likely RS

this car drives much much better on RH (hards) than softs.

The softs offer too much grip and has an effect as if to slow down the car.

Totally winnable stock, yes.
 
Just tried the Alfa Romeo Giulia '65. What a surprising little car. I did not expect this car to handle this well. One of the best handling cars in the game, in my opinion. I'll post a tune to my garage later.

Yes, heaps of fun. No aids except ABS 1, but i used SS tyres. I think I passed the lead car the corner before the little carousel.

Hami could I talk you into giving my tune of it a spin?
Tune is up in the garage ("Casanova") and I have one on share.
My biggest disappointment was the '63 not having nearly the performance of the '65 as it's a much more attractive looking car with more of that distinctive Italian style.
 
Managed to win the Nurb with the Alfa TZ2 on Sport Mediums, ABS 1 only assist. I reckon Sport Hards is doable, but not by me.

👍 Did you give it an HP boost?

I could only manage 5th with the car stock on Race Hard (2nd attempt). And that was after getting taken on the straight by a 512 and regaining on the penultimate bend. Think I was around 20 secs behind the winning Miura. Such a good drive though.
 
Yes, fully tuned. I also did Rome on Sport Hard, which wasn't easy because the lap is relatively short. SSR5 was very easy on Sport Hard because of the long lap. I was ahead before the end of lap 4.

In theory, Suzuka should be even easier because the lap is even longer than SSR5, but it's just too high speed. I can catch up a lot in the esses, but the rest of the lap is just a case of trying to catch a slipstream and not lose any time.

Turn abs off, but you have to turn your brake bias to 1/1, it presents another challenge and a little more realistic, i just tried it w/ the new 90's seasonal, it makes you relearn the car almost, and if it understeers under braking turn your rear brake up to 2 or down to 0 if it has too much oversteer
 
Keep your Brake at 60%Front/40%Rear.
(It doesn't matter where the Rear-Wheel stops.\unless you're in REVERSE!)

The .20 TOEANGLE REAR should be reduced to .16 for maximum High-Speed-Bite during a Corner In/Exit.

Gear-Out is usually HP/Lbs (.050mi.*1.38) ^.9500-0059. Tire, Cylinder, and Fuel-Source considered; Even the strongest motors break.
