I spent a bunch of time with the Citroen BX. I was ready to give up on this car. I still have some tuning/testing to go, so I haven't completely given up hope, but so far (on tarmac) it understeers like a pig. However, a little off-road tuning really woke it up. It's a lot of fun in the dirt. If anyone has ANY ideas to make the BX handle a bit better, I'm all ears. As of this moment, it's one of the worst handling FWD's (overall) I have attempted to tune. I REALLY want to like it, though, as I have a soft spot for the IRL version (well, the GTI, but whatevz...)

 
I have spent a few hours getting to grips with the Citroen BX, and I have finally worked out a few different tunes for it. I now have a pretty solid 450pp - 500pp, a decent 550pp, and next will be the full tune for Le Mans. My usual approach to FWD's, which is typically quite successful, just doesn't work as well with this thing. I had to start from square one (driving the stock car), and work my way up through each class (400 - 550). This approach allowed me to keep the overall balance (once I found it) without sacrificing performance. Pretty happy with it now, although there is still the matter of the full tune. Fingers crossed I don't screw up the balance, because right now it's Chef's Kiss
 
I tuned the Citroen BX TRS to 650pp on RM tires for the Le Mans 700pp grind. Interesting weather today. Two stints of rain with 3 stops total (2 stops for Inters, and a final stop on the last lap for a set of RM's for the win). Good times.
I have tried 3 times with the BX at the Lemans 700 and so far only managed a 5th. But also yet to have any rain, or at least enough to warrant inters.

I was able to win there with the Volvo 240 (Pre engine swap) by getting lucky with pitting for the weather. Hoping for the same with the BX.

The weather is key. It's not the easiest win, but with the weather gods on your side it's possible.
 
Modified my existing and one of my most fav cars, the Nissan 300ZX, to a monster 1100bhp LS7 V8 speed demon! It was a cool midnight purple then changed it to the livery for the GT racing style it had in previous games and in racing!! Great Car!

2 min 14 flat on medium tyres. Is that considered slow or fast for GT7 standards? I know I racing and asseto that time is comsidered fast.



Also absolutely stunning F1 livery. On PS5 Pro with PSSR disabled looks stunning
 
Sunday morning and before watching the Austrian F1 GP I uploaded one more Nordschleife lap. This time I drove the magnificent Alfa Romeo Giulia TZ2 '65. I bought a set of racing tyres (it's a race car after all...) and a gearbox. Everything else was left unchanged.

Even though the car has "only" 171hp it feels fast and it drives fast. Great driving experience for sure. However when I drove it with sport medium tyres the fun seemed to be different. I had to stay a little bit more alert during cornering, throttle had to be fed carefully. Maybe.... Maybe running the oldie race cars with racing tyres (they are slicks, right?) it's kind of masking their real behaviour and also hiding away a bit of their fun. I don't know.



The onboard lap:

Technically last night and Friday, but still...

Working on a pair of trofeo races and I found an easter egg that I never heard of.

Built a set of Lancia Delta race cars, in 600pp and 700pp tunes.

Some of the in game rally cars really don't like being set for the road, but the Delta holds it quite well, but still have some tweaking to do.
 
Today I....

Started a mission to complete 75,000 Laps around the Nurburgring track only rule is laps only count when I use my P1, Enzo, or FXXK.

Off to a great start already done 20 laps.
 
It's weird and slow. But driving odd cars like this can always be fun.

The car is at 114hp (!!!) thanks to an engine chip, a sport filter and a sport muffler. I had some custom parts from GT Auto but everything else is stock. Comfort medium tyres.
