I saw this and it was time to put down the coffee, it's not often you find someone other than myself who like's to see what the leccy vehicles can do, well at least in Forza that was the case and you know what, people where missing out because some of those could go top 100 on the leaderboards.
Anyhow back to Shmo's Tesla 92K lighter in my piggy bank and then the extra for the upgrades, if you have the Anniversay Edition you will end up with these figures PP524 443HP 1503kg, a bit more oopmh at the cost of some weight.
Well first thing I did was move the slider to drop the power, thats just me I like to see nice figures like 500, unless I was entering a higher PP event then I may be tempted to put it to the max. At 500PP the weight is still 1,498 but the HP is down to 366, I figured I may be better sacrificing the power rather than making the old girl heavier, women, weight, taboo subject.
Took it to the Nordschleife and decided I would run a lap, 12.95 miles of easy driving.....hahaha who am I kidding, my first lap was all about pushing to see where she would snap or what she couldn't do, come on even if the blokes full of talent at tuning you don't expect a relative of the milk float(older Brits may understand) to do well at the ring. I was right she bit back twice on that opening lap and all because.........................of me, lol, yup not the tuners fault, me seeing how late I could brake and finding out I left it a tiny bit to late, hence the opening lap time of a 7.56.
My second and final lap was going to be it, I hate hotlapping and especially at a track which is so long. The car can cope with the kerbs, once I figured that out I was driving like you should when there's no caravan on the back....fast as well you know what I mean. She coped with the corners more or less fine, bags of grip and the brakes do the job as long as you don't leave it too late like me.
My only downer about the car that the tuner built was maybe to do with the camber as I'm not sure if it was that that makes the two carousels something to be wary of, luckily I found that out on lap 1 so this time round I left enough speed to coast round without any painfull consequences.
The tyre noise is a pain in the ass and especially as it sounds like you windows are down with the wind blowing through while your out for you Sunday drive, Sunday drive, no way I'm pushing on that gas pedal as hard as I can because I think I'm on a decent lap, although I don't really know what a decent lap is round there. Handle the last part of the track after the long straight with no problems and was straight and steady under some heavy braking in them final corners.
I crossed the line with a 7.44.184, who knows what the faster GTP'ers could do with this.
Very impressed with my first out in not just the car but in Shmo's tune as well.
Keep up the good work,
thanks Bee9.
