MCLAREN MP4-12C '10 600pp
I'll try to keep it short ....
Mclaren -- Spa Francorchamps -- 1.15.585
the end ....
yeah you wish
Seriously , i never really liked the Mclaren much , not a fun car to drive , fast yes but the handling was a nightmare
. It was one of those useless cars you just had to have . Maybe you could take it to a meeting but the functionality ended there .
So i was very pleased to see you invested time into this car , seeing you seem to have a gift for tuning these cars
, thats said i just had to try it .
Taking a break from my new found sport soft hot lap addiction
( wich i aint that good in but its still fun ) i decided to take it to Spa Francorchamps .
Spa Francorchamps is an ideal testing track in my opinion , long straights combinded with slow and fast corners making cornering speed , top speed , acceleration and braking all equally important .
So i consider it a very well balanced track .
Untill now the 600pp range has been dominated by the 458Italia , and for me it was ( yes
was , i'll explain why ) my top notch car . I tried a lot of cars at 600pp going from the Lotus Esprit 350 sport to all the ferrari's , merc's , lambo's well you get the point i tested a lot of them .
Yet i always came back to the 458Italia .
When you do a Street-car race at 600pp half of the starting grid is this car .
Now i took the Mclaren out , slapped it silly with you're tune and loaded an online lobby . I always keep track of my online laptimes on Spa Francorchamps . Now the with the ferrari
458Italia my lap-record at 600pp stands at 1.16.378 wich i consider a very good run for a driver with my medium skills .
When i race i manage to qualify in the top 25% pretty much all the time .
So when i finishd lap 3 with the
MClaren you can understand my shock when i saw 1.15.585 . Yes only 3 laps with this car and i was almost a second faster then a car i had been using for a long time .
This car does not feel dangerous when driving , then again it ain't a comfortable sunday cruiser either . It is a beast , with a fluffy side
.
As fasr as cornering speed goes it is just a little slower then the 458 , but acceleration is a little faster . But the braking of this car is godlike , i can easely brake almost 2 to 3 meters later ( i don't think 4 but then again that is detailed stuff and my patience level is not that high to start doing calculation with the replay's if i could take em online ) . Every Racer knows 2 to 3 meters is a lot , wich means this car in online racers can outbreak a ferrai 458 . And that is impressive .
The gears , well it is pointless to comment on these seeing as useall they are top notch no delay and always right on the spot .
There is only one thing i don't like about the car as is . The sound
, but ill have a look into a little exhaust change but that is personal .
In the end .... This is an superb tune .
👍👍👍👍👍/5
It is worldclass .
Thank you for this .
ps : these tests we're done with a controll-pad , automatic gearbox , abs1 everything else off , and no cutting corners
and a medium skilled driver , some people might run this car faster and might not be impressed by my laptimes but i am and thats whats important
