Mr Praiano, good to see you back in the world of Gran Turismo. Your tunes have always been a great resource over the years, thanks for all you do.

I’m sure you have a number of requests on your table already, but I was wondering if you could have a look at the FC RC7 GT-X ‘90. I know you already have a tune for it available, but I was wondering if you would have a go at a max horse power / minimum weight tune for this car.

I’m currently working on building a stable of street cars for cruising the Tokyo city circuits - but I also want to be able to drive them fast. Normally I like to tune all my own cars, but this FC has been giving me fits.

I worked on my own tune, then decided to have a look at yours, and we were actually pretty similar. However, once you set max power with this car, the snap oversteer on throttle gets really crazy. This caused me to try to make tuning adjustments to mask this, which led to poor balance in other parts of the corner.

So, my request would be to take you base FC RX7 tune, set max power and min weight, and then see what adjustments can/should be made to help compensate for the power. Or am I just stuck with being extremely careful with the throttle?

Thanks again for all of your tunes, you’re a massive asset to the community :cheers:

After a quick test revealing what i was expecting about the car's behaviors , here is a basic setting , everything tightened to the max , as low as possible , even with a negative -5 brake balance ... all this to not induce any move that the car would not contain due to the still too soft values of the availables settings.
Sorry , this is all i can do .

I was also hoping you'd make a tune for the FC maxxed out- this is great! Thank you :)

You're welcome. This is not a normal tune, i will not list it in my garage , just a way to let this car drivable when maxed .... but i still don't like to drive it at all.:ouch::)

What epics decades , late 60's early 70's , i'm happy to have been a young boy at this time , with no cel phone or computer ... only dreams like this one, i remember seeing this car in a magazine waiting my turn at the hairdresser or the dentist practice.

The origins of the Manta concept go back to the mid-sixties, when legendary engineer Giotto Bizzarrini began to develop the P538 competition prototype to race against the likes of Ford’s GT40, Ferrari’s 250 P and Porsche’s 906.

And still no seatbelt !!:nervous: Ok it was a concept car , but they only were mandatory in july 73 in france at least.
The only exit was to put a soft round cushion in the meedle of the wheel, i'm sure it was designed on purpose , like an early goose feather-bag. :scared:
 
Good day Praiano. I know you want the original NSX brought back, as do we all :irked:, but can you tune the N600 NSX on Sports Hard while we wait?

Many thanks for sharing and helping us enjoy the game even more. :cheers:

I have a N400 for it , very fast car , performant in this range.
Sport hard at N600 is not enough grip in my opinion, but i will check it.
 
Great to see you back and making Great Tunes. I've been a fan since GT5, can't wait to try some of your tunes again. :cheers:

After getting distracted by other things, I finally got around to testing out your settings for the maxed out FC. A nice improvement, making the car even more stable - not ideal for slow technical bits, but I’m not using this car for those kind of circuits so it’s working out well.

I made a few tweaks of my own. I use a DS4, so some are to account for that, and others just so that I can really chuck the car around and have some fun. Like you kind of said before, this car wasn’t very much fun to drive, it was too knife edge. However with these settings, I now find it very enjoyable. It’s still a challenge to drive, but it’s now a fun challange, not a frustrating one.



Showing off the livery a bit too :P. It was inspired by a photo in the realistic photos thread here on gtp, I can’t remember the name of the person though.

Stupid Porsche ruined the clip at the end, oh well, what do you expect :lol:
 
Possibly a stupid question,but here goes anyway.On your Ferrari 330 tune,front wheel alignment or toe in/out settings on your sheet show as `+0.10 and +0.45`.On my settings screen it only allows ` in 0.10 and `in 0.45`.Am i to assume the `+ and -` setting is down to diferent country versions and counts as toe in and out?

Many thanks
 
The Ferrari 330P4 is pure gold. Great tune. 👍 smooth as silk as you glide through the turns like a hawk. :cheers:

Think of it as the center being zero. The right is "+" and the left is "-".

That's it ,

IN is + positive

OUT is - negative
 
@praiano63, any chance of a grip setup for the Mazda Roadster RS (ND) '15? I find it to be a bit tail-happy for my liking, despite the lack of power.
