Tune for Tom's X540 Chaser '00

[Akira GT]

This Chaser is fully modified with 666BHP and it weighs 1241Kg
Any tune?

What type of racing are you using it for? I always could give u my setting but will that suit your driving? Btw The Chaser is heavy so I'm pretty sure you are going to have to do suspension tuning because the toms is a bitch to turn.

I've got one, love it to bits. Using it in a racing series. The first thing you might consider is upping the weight to around 1300kg - it's much more well-behaved. Also, if running max power, get a wing for it.

Understeer is the main issue with this car.

My suspension: Ride height - F-40 R-30
Spring rate - F11.0 R11.0
Damper extension - F8 R8
Damper compression - F7 R7
Anti-roll bars - F5 R5
Camber - F2.0 R0.5
Toe - F20.0 R0.0

LSD:
Initial - 10
Accel - 30
Decel - 5

(If my memory serves well!)

I'm giving this a blast later. Got the car a week or two ago, love the look of it...

Not bad. I had to add a few kg to get it up to 1500kg, but running on Sport Softs with a few upgrades to the pipework, bringing it up to just under 500bhp, it ran sweetly. Nice car, nice setup for the suspension too 👍

I think it feels slightly nervous, but it's predictable enough. Just have to treat it like a woman - gentle but firm. Not sure you'd need it as heavy as 1500kg, though...

Unfortunately I have to run it at 1500kg, that's our restricition for the category I'm running this car under. I softened the springs and the diff a little, because of my tyre choice, and it ran just fine. It'll take a little more fiddling to make it competitive in our mini-series, but otherwise, drive it like ya stole it

Cool, what category is that? Running in a series?

I think mine needs work - a bit unsure about the spring rate, dampers and anti-roll...I'm sure there are a few tenths waiting to be eked out...

The cars we're currently running are "Sports Coupes, Super Saloons and Grand Tourers (sub Cr150k)". Each category has different restrictions on power, weight and tyres. Every month or so we change category, next one will be a mock up of the FIA GT1 World Championship. Instead of full-blown GT1 cars though, we're running the production versions of the cars, DB9s, Corvettes, Murciélago, that sort of thing...
