Ford Mustang GT '15 - 600PP - Sport soft Tires - All Tracks.

I've spent around 2 weeks on this car during severals sessions. I was having some difficult with the huge torque that was turning the car very happy tail. A bit too much.The cure was raising all the body mostly , also gain some HP instead the PP i've earn with this. A few rear ballast finish to give some more front grip and a nice eagerness. I race it against 700PP daytona 4 laps for the win.

Wide body.

Rims size 19" - Rim Width Wide - Offset Wide

Front B - Side Standard - Wing A

1- set auto speed at the minimum 270kmh
2-set the final gear to approximate the top speed you need in last gear for given track or 3.310 for Daytona in this picture.
3- set each gear ratio beginning from the last gear to first gear in this order.
Done.

Enjoy your drive.
Hi Praiano, why did you tune this car at 700pp, is it not drivable at the base 800pp or I guess the 900 it could reach ?
I used his tune with fbo and RS at 780PP and I did 6:28 around nordschleife first lap. Very easy to handle.
 
Honda NSX Type R '92 - 550PP - Sport tires - All around

I love the NSX , The patrão car (The boss Ayrton). Fast , very fast .

NO wide body

Rims 15" - Width Wide - Offset Wide

Front B
Side A
Rear B
Wing A




Such a great tune and fun drive! Nice one, @Praiano!
Also loved taking the Praiano tuned Eunos and Mazda roadsters for a drive today on Nordschleife.
And won the WT700 in the Praiano tuned Alpine A220
On the weekend, I enjoyed driving the M3 Evo '89, and 911 Carerra RS 964, also Praiano tuned.

Looking forward to seeing Ferrari F40, 787B, Aston One-77 and Super Formula car tunes when the time is right!

I used to read a mag called practical performance car and a guy done an article every month, his name was Charlie. He put a Rolls Royce merlin aero engine in one of those old Rovers with the V8. Sure he done a run up the hill at the festival of speed. The guys a total mad genius, used to love his Articles.
My sort of guy. My Da had a mark 1 escort with a Rover V8 he used for Hillclimb events. I’ve said it before but if you like mad cars check out Hillclimb monsters on YouTube. Some amazing Hillclimb events in Europe. My favourite was the ex DTM Merc with a Judd Le Mans engine in it. Sounded like the apocalypse Coming up the hill.
 
Renault 5 Turbo '80 - 500PP - Sport Hard Tires - All Tracks.

I remember this car with the Rally driver "magic Jean Ragnotti". This guy was so intense and spectacular to watch on TV , Tour de Corse , Monte Carlo..... Very good souvenir.

NO Wide body. The car is wide enough !!

3- set each gear ratio beginning from the last gear to first gear in this order.
Done.

You don't need to do all this "Engine Tuning" if you don't need to increase the power of your car . I put it on just because i needed to know how was the car with full power during the tuning process.

Hi Praiano!! Yesterday I was enjoying your tunes on the R5 Turbo, the Pagani Huayra and the Nissan R 33 GT-R. You said that you are going to continue with gr3 and gr4. Is it possible for you tune Renault Clio V6 24v '00, AMG 300 SEL 6.8 '71 and Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution VI GSR Tommy Makinen '99? Thank you!!
 
Hi, is there any chance we can get more 800pp tunings? Since now 800 touring car races pays well now!
Thank you so much.
Love what you do for folks like me!

I hope I'm not out of line in saying something here. Praiano provides free tunes that give us all so much enjoyment and Gran Turismo driving pleasure. I always cringe a bit when I see people request specific car/track/PP/tyre tunes, because it implies an expectation that Praiano should invest significant chunks of his time to build a relatively niche car specifically for one person to dominate their mates on a particular track or tyre or PP spec.

Perhaps it could simply become etiquette in this thread that if you request a "niche" tune (specific track/car/tyre/PP etc), you make a donation to the link in this thread's first post? A "freemium" model of sorts.

"All Round" tune requests do not fall into this category. I know Praiano's work is a labour of love and passion and its not done for payment but still......fair is fair. Screens and sim racing gear aren't cheap. It would be cool if this community can help turn our maestro tuner's passion into a little side income that helps to cover some costs of the hobby. 🤟

I was thinking similar. Should make an app. Could make a few euro.
 
@praiano63 thanks for all your hard work not sure if your taking requests but I'm looking for world rally challenge gr.b (road setup) 3 races if I remember correct thanks for anything you can suggest 👍

There used to be an app (GT5 and 6 I believe). We were chatting about it on this thread. But, as he said, he's not an app maker. Someone did the app for him. Would be cool if someone collaborated with him to do it, and make a few extra bucks.

@CustomX I agree with everything you said. I cringe a bit too when someone asks for a specific vehicle. I sometimes ask, but I try to make it general, not a specific car. And sometimes there's already one done that I've missed. Doesn't hurt to not be presumptuous. So, asking for a good 600pp car, or (what I'm looking for) a kei car isn't as bad as asking for a very specific vehicle, especially if that vehicle is pricey

I used to use the tuning calculator app for Forza 5 on Xbox one. It was pretty good for a base tune and you just tweaked for tracks.

I think it’s pretty bad look for the community that he can’t afford it yet. The joy he brings to so many players is immeasurable.

IMO, requesting an all round tune for a specific vehicle that hasn't yet been done, is reasonable. I imagine that it helps Praiano prioritise his work flow. And thankfully, Praiano is always honest and upfront about what he does/doesn't want to work on.

Hi, buy any Gr.2 car.
I did them with the Honda NSX GT500 ‘08
Events with 10 laps or 5 (Le Mans) you can win with no pit (CPU will do one): use racing hard tires and little fuel managemen.
Event with 15 laps (Sardegna) CPU will do 2 pits, you one: start with MEDIUM, pit at lap 5 or 6, set HARD and refuel totally. Always a little fuel management after the pit.

Here is a nice Ragnotti livery for you

I have to say that i didn't check them well , only the Audi. Some seems very fun (On Tarmac ) I'll do a couple of settings in the month perhaps.

Lancer Evolution VI GSR Tommy Makinen '99 is done. Mitsubishi Evolutioon VI GSR T.M '99 - 600 PP - Sport soft tires - All around
For the rest i need time . Only after some 4 or 5 GR3 & 4.
Need to buy the AMG 300 SEL 6.8 '71 and test it.
Hi, is there any chance we can get more 800pp tunings? Since now 800 touring car races pays well now!
Thank you so much.
Love what you do for folks like me!
Most of my GR3 can be maxed with softer compounds , Some are better for a higher power and speed. You'll have to test because i didn't yet for all the cars. I can say the Viper because i use it for those events.... The rest , up to you. ;)
I was thinking similar. Should make an app. Could make a few euro.
It would be great . Some few money is not bad , i wouldn't able to pay all this money to play GT during so much years .Like we say, "i'll not spit in my own soup " or like you say "biting the hand that feeds you".
Logitech Brasil help me for the last G29 (Thanks a lot Thomas from Logitech's PR agency in Brazil)
For the rest , 2 PS3 , 2 PS4 , 2 G29 .... all with the help from APP buyers , youtube payments , Paypall from all over the world..... , Brian from GTworld in canada who made a collect for me to buy one of the PS4 .........

I only do what i like to do :lol: , .... but i love to do all kinds of cars. Specific or not. If you ask for a FF car ( They are not so bad in GT7) , then it will take some time for sure but i'll do if there is some fun in the setting process.

I'm ok with flow. We play since 1 month and a half and we have already a lot of good cars to drive. I'm sure that in a few weeks , PD is going to do a physic update , like always for the past GT , then i'll have to do all everything again.:lol::lol:
Another Physic update sound like a new GT7 game for me . I'll be ready :D

About the APP for GT7 garage , it's a great idea. But i can't do this. My problem is not my normal guy intelect. After my aphasia , it's very difficult to learn new things , like reading "how to build a APP in a hour of time" . I just can do things that i could do before the stroke. Aphasia is like a double funnel in front of your mind. Your expression , to go out or to go in your head , writing , speaking or reading ... everything is very complicated.

It's ok for me like this. I don't need so much more things today. I have a PS5 , perhaps a new TV in a few monthes , the rest i'll work everyday to run after it. I'm a happy man with my beach , my dog , my PS5 and GT7 for the long nights. IT'S A PARADISE ;)

Let's play.


EDIT: I've spent around 1 hour to answer this. The best therapy.:cheers::gtpflag:

@praiano63 hi , i´m enjoying your tunes so far , very appreciate it , have you created a tune for Peugeot RCZ Gr3 Road Car to use him in the WT600 cup?

keep it with the great work ;)
GR3 for 600PP race ? No i've never tested it. Why not a GR4 ? Perhaps because peugeot only have FF GR4 ?
 
Hello Praiano63. Thank you for your contribution to the community with your setups and recommendations. I would like to have setup for Renault 5 Turbo '80 and Toyota Yaris for asphalt circuits in general with equipment for competition and maximum PR. As a base I would like them to be competitive on the Nordschleife. Thanks again and see you soon.

All the R32 R22 R34 are ok fro 700PP. For R34 , nothing big to do. Remember that all 99% of my cars are base settings and fit in a +- large range of PP. For most of them 100PP up or down , 1 tires grade Up or down.. To turn them 100% it's up to you.
Good luck.

The R5 is done for 500PP sport hard tires. Need to publish later today.
The Yaris is broke. I have this for it , it's not published in the garage list because i still have to check if i find a way to fix it.... Not easy.
YARIS

R5 done , Civic i don't think i'll or any FF for the moment , finishing the mustang GT '15 , after this i think i'll do some GR3 & 4 in a row. I don't know.
Thank you very much Praiano63, I will try both.
 
Autobianchi A112 Abarth '85 - 450PP - Comfort soft Tires - All Track - 1.34

Just to not say that i don't do FF cars .
This is my first car in 1981 . My A112 Abarth was a '78 car with only 4th gears and no air intake mouth but same color , black hood red car. A fantastic toy , not a good idea for a 1st car , very fast and stick on the road.... not enough . I slam a rock locking the brakes enter a turn... straight way and lost 100% .


Wide body.

Rims size 13" - Rim Width Wide - Offset Wide

A good corner entry , need to control your line with a precise wheel input at the moment to stay clean and fast.

Alpine A220 Race Car '68 - 700PP - Racing Soft tires - All around
Playing with the Body height , it's possible to drop the PP to turn possible to use racing soft in the 700PP range without losing power . Unbeatable. This car cruze suzuka at 2:02.xxx.
Bug ??? I think it's not fair for the others yes. Another way , there is no other racing car in this class. So it turn the trick fair ... i think ??!! But it's fast cheat 😂🤣

Obs: I use the normal gearbox.

I love this livery , when you select one , there is no information about who did this. If somebody know the person who did this livery , give him my compliments. Bravo.

You can see also that racing tires for this car are all with some design , same for sport or comfort. All the same oldy style , no slick tires.
