You can share cars without sending them. That way, multiple people can try your car/tune at the same time and they can try your cars worth more than $1 million, since you can't trade those.
 
hello Gp, i would like to help as a test-driver , consider me if you need particular settings for Autodromo Nazionale di Monza
 
Thought i would do a quick update on the progress of the 2 cars im working on,

I now have the GTR's acceleration nailed and sounds hot too,

I now have the Civic handling sorted but struggling with acceleration and a low top end but will soon be sorted :D

Oh and i just finished a side project on a hot stanced Fiat 500, if you wish to see pictures ask :D

Kindness goes a long way.

spoiler change. Below is a quick image of the cars looks!

I tried the Honda Civic Type R '08 and find it well-balanced ...

just some annoyances pulling up to the second gear, and maybe you can do more to increase the value of the brakes because braking is precise and clean but a bit too long .. I think a job well done
 
I like the civic, has good grip and turning response, only issue I had was some understeer on corner exit, but this is because of the FF drivetrain, and my heavy fingers lol.
Tested at Deep Forest Raceway.
Best lap 1:22.317
 
Just had a go with this tune on my Civic with 254hp & 1107kg on SH tires.

Overall the car handles well and is very balanced mid corner. Understeer happens progressively and gives the driver plenty of time to correct.

One thing I didn't like about it is that the tight diff makes the front really stable during braking but also feels like it doesn't want to turn in. Sometimes after braking and start turning in, the front seems to delay the steering input until the diff loosens up a bit.
 
Cheers for the positives!:D

I don't mind the understeer can be a pain though, and i havent been to that track much, is that a good time for a car of the power?

Just drove the civic a few laps around the tgtt and the indy road course. It's a very balanced car. I like it a lot more than I thought I was going to. Only thing problems I had with it were just the usual ff problems. Understeer was manageable after I changed my driving style. You have to ease into it with this car. Push it too hard and it'll bite.
Overall 7/10.
