MASTER TUNE MODE!! Anyone got far with this yet? With Skills and Nitro disabled?

Got my Platinum Trophy at the weekend (basically a NG+ speedrun in the GTR 17 to acquire the two trophies I didn't/couldn't get on first playthrough), and restarted NG+ in Master Tune mode (with Skills and Nitro disabled for a more 'realistic' experience) and WTH?
Completed Stage 1 (350 speed metric) with the AE86, but now stuck at Stage 2 (400 sm). Is there a meta car or setup secret, something I'm missing? Seems impossible. Every opponent is so different, some are just about beatable, but most just shoot off, uncatchable... Tried with 180sx and RX7FD so far, but looks like a very big ask. Even Rolling Master and Happy Chappy were hard to beat at Stage 1 with the AE86 tuned to the 350 limit, but at 400 even the lower team members seem untouchable. Relying on their crashes doesn't make for a great gaming experience.
If anyone has got further than Stage 1 please let me know how you've managed it...
If you haven't already looked it up, are you adjusting the gear ratios? You'll need to make your top speed only as high as needed and that will make room for more power in the speed metric. I've also been using lower level clutch and transmission since they have a big impact on the speed metric. People have probably min-maxed all of this by now but this is the simple way I've been doing it. It's still tough but doable.

This Master Tune mode has led to my longest gaming session in a LONG time. I'm addicted.

checking the TXR Discord, for builds make sure its a STOCK clutch and Transmission level 1 then add power as needed.
 
Heads up to people playing on PS5!

Game got updated to version 1.005.000 a few days ago, and i think they removed the V-tuber from the game.

Tried playing my old safe and got hit with this:

Dunno what I can do to play besides starting a new game. Can't access my original save.

Been a while since I last played it, but I don't remember doing anything weird ingame that could cause corrupted save.

Idk how you check for dlc on PlayStation, but check if those are listed on txrs dlc list. If it's listed and unchecked, it will be fixed.

As someone who completed the regular career mode and new game+ several times I was thinking: how hard can this Master Tune mode really be? The answer is: quite hard! Damn, you really need to know what you're doing in there, not for the faint of heart for sure!
 
Has the update released yet?

They released a producer's letter marking the game's first anniversary.
Regarding future plans, they announced that paid DLC (likely an expansion pack) is currently in development and that there are plans to add more guest rivals.
They also mentioned considering releases on other consoles, though they noted that technical challenges make it impossible to give a firm commitment at this stage (likely a reference to the Switch 2?).

I support their commitment to making this game even better.
Has the update released yet?
It will likely be at 18:00 Japan time.
Therefore, it is expected to be released in about 40 minutes.

An update has been released!

This is great news for the game I've been waiting for some form of update or dlc for a while since there is only so much you can do in the game.

Be great to get some sort of expansion and many more races my LFA needs more challenges 🤣
 
Great news! I can get behind DLC, especially if they include something beyond new cars, like an expanded map and new rivals :)

Like previous VTuber-related content, this DLC and updates was small in scale. However, behind the scenes, small but significant improvements were added.

That improvement is the addition of depth scaling and offset adjustment functions for decals.
This is almost identical to the one in GT7, and it represents a significant improvement over a problem that has plagued us since its release.

They've also extended the availability of the Rindo Chihaya DLC for another year
