This tune also works without any ballast eg, 1313kg, 56/44 and will feel livelier and easier to drive. However, according to my testing, I think there is half a second to a second to be gained per lap by adding ballast. Both tunes have good rotation. Just be careful to modulate the throttle when needed. Also, be fairly careful/gentle when coming off the brakes as it's possible to lose it. Lastly, you may find more bhp is available but I always take my cars to the 1 mile drag strip to test which engine parts (and gearing) give best acceleration and found the above best. You can always play about with the suspension settings to suit possibly lowering rear spring rate or raising the front anti-roll bar. Lower front anti-roll bar will give better rotation though. All personal preference. This tune was built without any toe for running races when the tyre wear settings are on Fast.

Always good tunes reefer! You're one of the best. Do you think the suspension/drivetrain settings would work well for 425pp?

This tune was built specifically for Silverstone GP Circuit so might not perform well elsewhere. My tunes are not usually the easiest to drive but are fairly fast by intermediate standards. Give it a try Benny - won't be terrible but it certainly won't be ideal.
Very nice to drive, controllable but still Amcar. Thanks!
