Tuner Comment:
Hello all, this is my extremely realistic track tuned Evora, I present you the Evora R-Tune. You will not be disappointed. Tuned by me, chapsbk. It has taken 2 days to get this car to my likings and I strongly believe what I have here is what I consider the best multipurpose track tune for the Lotus. So, what are you waiting for? Give it a try! I may be new, but I am not new to the GT series as far as tunes go.

Bump! Seriously, must try! Makes me want to get into an Evora right now and go shred the circuit at The Ring! By the way, this tune was made multipurpose for ALL Circuits, tested and trusted!
Word.

I will gladly try your Evora Tune later tonight with the new update,

However , I find the default suspension (Factory) absolutely perfect when tuning this to a 505pp car.(using only exhaust and intake and oil changes) It obliterates the NSX-R's on the Nordschleife in 6:47s, @ 505pp

even some 550pp can't do this.

I don't think I have this car so I will buy it and tune it to these specs. I'm looking forward to trying this.

I'll be more then happy to take the Evora around the track , i'll buy my own no need to build a 2nd one but ...

The LSD settings , i pretty sure 0 isn't an option so if you could check that please , and also i don't do Traction controle .

 

[JackWilson]

0 is an option for Front diff on a rwd car though

 

[DJW_GT]

Is this an online or offline tune?

Also, you sure about 60/60/60 for the diff?

0 is an option for Front diff on a rwd car though

very true but then i would have the same question as quoted below

Is this an online or offline tune?

Also, you sure about 60/60/60 for the diff?

you sure ?

Well this is a high end tune. I built the car and took it straight to List of Nürburgring Nordschleife. The first thing I noticed is how responsive this car is to turning input, it took me by surprise and I drove off the track on the inside of a few turns. I drove for two mins and then restarted my lap to send this thing through it's paces.

My first lap was something like a 7:07 with some "Hi, I'm Kerb and this is my friend Wall" moments. I changed the setup quite a bit to try get it better but after a while I just went back to your settings. I then loaded a ghost of my 600PP Enzo tune (6:43) and tried to race it. The Evora is a little quicker through the turns and is overall a harder edged tune but it is lower in Performance Points and it does not have any where near the same straight line speed. Overall it is a little bit slower I think but no doubt someone fast enough could easily go faster than 6:43 with your Evora tune.

It might be possible to get something even more better out of the transmission: 6th gear seems too tall.

The brakes on the car were great and the handling is excellent. You could decide to turn tighter mid way through a turn and you could do it all without letting up off the throttle. At first the car was a little bit nasty with kerbs and heavy landings but it got better or I learned my lessons.

This Evora is nimble and decently fast in a straight line. I very much like it. Well done and good job!

Thank you everyone for the kind words! Much much appreciated.

Mr Grado- wow, solid review! That was excellent, I will be seeing if I can increase the speed even more, with the same edged steering and acceleration. I will post up the "Evora R-Tune V2.0" tomorrow afternoon.
I really do appreciate everyone trying it and commenting about it! +1
if you like it, more to come!
