Thanks for the kind offer, but I reckon you are right... It is not a "bit like" giving up, it
is giving up!
Steve's reply earlier was a surprise to me, that he's running the Clio stock (bar the obvious changes required for 600PP). That has satisfied my curiosity that I wasn't missing something obvious tuning-wise. I think he's got it right by saying that "It may just be that the car doesn't particularly suit your driving style."... (On a side note, it seems that the Clio (and maybe the NSX too) are more suited to people who enjoy less grip. I've always preferred cars that handle as if they are on rails. Lewis Hamilton I ain't...)
Although I would be fascinated to see/test your set-up, after some thought, I don't think it will do me any good in the long run! Indeed, it would most likely just confirm the obvious... that it isn't the set-up that's the problem, it's the driver! On a more philosophical note, I'm glad that the cars in my garage are "mine", i.e. I won the money to buy them, I picked the colour of each car, and (so far) all the tuning tweaks are my own, so maybe it's better if I kept it that way, for better or for worse!
Still, I'll try playing a bit more with the Clio and see how I get on. I have my Subaru ghost in Free Run mode to test against, but something tells me that it might be a while until I am using a Clio ghost!
+1
... was in a great race with Honeycar and slowed down to let him take the win! ..... at the end of lap 2
and the race was still going lol so I had to play catch up in 3rd place for the remaining lap
