Seeing TAs laps in the Camaro stump me 1:32.0 at Nurb GP/D im testing right now and can only get a 1:33.6 or a 1:33.4 on a perfect lap..
. TA any chance you'll let me "borrow" your setup

Well mate, when we ran that race in the pre-season the Camaro was a bit lighter at the time and had less horespower so that tune is a bit out of date. However, once the specs were changed after that race I went back to see the difference in performance and the car felt about 3 tenths slower with the current specs. Regardless, the Camaro should still be able to dip below 1:32.0 at Nurb GP/D, as my PB with the original specs (less weight and horsepower) was a 1'31.5 IIRC.
Here's my tune for Grand Valley if you want to try it out. I did a bit of testing earlier this morning and was hovering in the low 56's, then kept pounding out laps until I got a 1'55.9xx.

(top speed) 250...which must be kmh. Although I'm not sure why it shows KPH and not MPH on my setting sheet
I'll have to double check on that one ...
I'm not really sure how much is left in the tune atm (probably not much), but it's pretty easy to drive and has fairly balanced tire wear front/rear. You'll probably want to lengthen the gearing a bit for the race as well. Also, I might end up taking some aero off of the rear (as I did at Monza) depending on the pace of the other cars, in order to minimize the poor straightline speed of the Camaro. Unfortunately, taking that bit of aero off of the rear will cost maybe 2 tenths in lap time...but it may just make that slight enough difference to prevent a overtake down the main straight, which could potentially put me in a fight with a car behind that is a couple of tenths off pace.
Kk no probs. 👍
Ugh.
Yes hope you can.
👍
This track is probably the best for the Evora and Camaro. Whilst they might have had a slight advantage at Monaco and Bronzestone too, Monaco requires short bursts of acceleration and there's quite a few straights at Bronzestone. GVS has a lot of technical bits with many sequences of corners which favours the Evora and Camaro's handling and change in direction.
I agree there. However I just wanted to say that although the Camaro was very quick over one lap at Bronzestone, the car was incredibly hard on the front tires when exiting the longer duration - high speed corners, which meant you couldn't really push the car very hard at all in the race without being left with a oil tanker at the end of the race. I think it has something to do with its hefty belt line (
) and how hard that weight works the tires when you are trying to get the most out of the car.
I think it just shows how many interesting, albeit different characteristics there are amongst the cars. It kind of reminds me of how the F1 cars are, and how it's not always clear cut or predictable as to which car will be strongest at what track, and over 1 lap or over the course of the race where tire wear is just as crucial...if not moreso.
There's only 2 races left too.
