I was Surprised to see that the times got worst at the 400m and 1000m test´s
after tuning. First is suspected that it was because of the supercharger. So i tri-
ed it with the Turbo.

Ok i was wrong didn´t even drive the Nürb cause results would have been
same probably supercharger won. it´s like that in both of these it accelerates at the beginning very slowly
and then it starts to get faster. Car looks like an sand bug, but its ok. It would
scare the **** out of me if i would be in this when it goes 250 Km/h.
Personally i dislike this car but not much just a little.

Total Cost:
183,45 CR (With Car Price)
123,45 CR (Without Car Price)

Thank You For Reading.
 
When you lighten the car it looses the little traction it had to start out with.
A sacry little car to drive around the nurb, but fun.

Why do you dislike the car, HiQQory?

umm... if you read what he has said - namely that it is way jumpy - scary to drive - and doesn't respond well to tuning - you may get an idea why its not his favourite... failing that, maybe its just the boggle eyes.

On the tuning of the little bugger, try fiddling with the gears, and also see how it goes if you change the TCS setting a fair bit (to like around 1 or 2).
 
I dont think it´s the traction that makes it slow to accelerate. it goes like when i go to the 400m test i hit the x-button as soon as it starts and first the RPM´s are high when the 3,2,1 starting count has gone they get low to about 4000 RPM and then start to slowly rise and whenm it reaches second gear the it starts to go little faster.

And the dislike reason is not the boggle eyes. :dopey:

still sounds like a TCS issue - try turning it off completely and see if it still bogs. try softening the rear suspension as well.
 
Whenever I take my Fireblade to the Nur, I soften everything all the way. Stiff suspension+no weight+high speed=LIFTOFF

Same as with the F1.

Try adding ballast, too, if you still can't work it around the track.
