Despite being short wheelbase, RWD, and light, my Elise carves this event up like a Christmas turkey! Even with the paltry 137 mph top speed on the straight, nothing is a match for it in the corners! Beyond that, it's just a joy to drive here. Color me surprised.
Good job with the Elise '11...👍
I used the Elise 111R '04 and got the same race time...
Cheers for the Heads up on using a Lotus...

More fun cars worth running here. The garaiya, hommel, rocket, xbow, stratos, dino, the old lambo (not the muira), and rs200. There is a ton of cars I'm forgetting, but all these cars are fast at this track.
I've made a silly amount of money with this challenge. The new camaro and McLaren are also surprisingly fast here.

Thanks. I haven't used the '04, might try it in a bit. I bought a new '11 and added the flat floors as suggested earlier, but it doesn't add any to the top speed unless you're drafting, still 138/139. Still, I was able to make a few tweaks and come up with a slightly faster time. I'll hit it again tonight for a bit, very fun race in this car.

Rocket. Fun. Confirmed.
Used a tune from Brands Hatch Seasonal event and adjusted power to the PP level. (Remember to check the tyres, too.)

That would be awesome. Thanks! TBH, I've always feared that car.

Nice one and really good time...well done...👍 Good luck
And i might give the '11 ago later also..
The only time flat floors really helped me in a seasonal was with weird tracks with high power cars. With he dodge viper seasonal at eiger nordwand flat floors took seconds off my laps. Other than that I think I removed flat floors on every vehicle I tried them on.

I can't remember the bad press I read on them, but it was basically like "don't do it", so I never mess with it. I think I'll buy another Elise and do the exact mods/specs without the flat floor and see what it'll do. Can never have too many Elise cars

That's why I removed them from any car they were on a while ago. Not only do they reduce top speed with same horsepower, but they also add significant performance points so you have to lower power quite a bit. That's why I only used them in the dodge viper seasonal.

Thanks for the memory-jog guys, I'll just remove them from this car and see what it'll do then.

So much fun, this lovely seasonal <3
Currently won using:
Audi R8 Chrome Line (thanks @shaunm80 , amazing tune ^^)
Aston Martin DB9, power limited, twin plate clutch, prop shaft, soft suspension
Lancer Evolution VI GSR (tuned to 500PP)
Corvette C6 Z06 (prop shaft)
BMW M4 Coupe
RUF RGT
RUF CTR2 (soft suspension)
So many cars that can do it! I think if you average at least 2:55's each lap, should get a win!

I have a question and I hope that I describe this so you can all understand me...
Has anyone else noticed, or felt, when you're driving outside of the worn driving line - if your car then drifts through the driving line that it feels like the car is pulled, or pushed, by the water on the track? It seems like when I'm driving around corners in this race that my car kind of jumps around when I'm not just following a smooth driving line. It might be something I'm inventing in my head - maybe its just my front tires sliding in the wetness...but I feel something in my steering wheel when this happens to me. I've never driven on a worn racetrack in the rain, but I have driven on public roads a thousand times in heavy rain and I've experienced this phenomenon in a real car. Hopefully I've described this somewhat clearly. Anyone??

You're not alone. I've heard it's been programmed into the game so that the racing line accumulates the least water (due to the fact that cars are pushing standing water off of the racing line typically). It is particularly noticeable once the track begins to dry off, as the racing line will dry first, with the rest of the track remaining wet for some time.
What you have described almost sounds akin to hydroplaning, which I've never known to be possible in game, though I have actually crashed a car in real life by such means (luckily no one was hurt except my baby). However, I've felt the car get much looser once you get a tire or two off the racing line, especially if you're on slicks once the track is 'dry.'
I hope that was coherent enough, as I'm not entirely sure HOW it works in the game. But know that it is not just in your head, friend.

IIRC, CargoRat has a fantastic tune for the Range Rover.

It seems to have disappeared from GTP. Shame.
Well, I've found something stable with the Rover, but it's not satisfying. I know it can do better.

Have you tried the tunes for the Range Rover from GT6 Tune Directory?
EDIT: Don't forget to check Archive > Main -- Those are tunes that were created before v1.08 but most of them are still just fine, in my opinion.

Ah, I think I have something that works for me now. But thanks, guys. I'll try those out and see what gives.
What I came up with:
Rain tires
95/95
Springs all the way down
2/3
2/3
6/6
1.0/1.5
0 0
Brakes 3/4
Set to 260km/h. Will play ratios later.
Differential
8/8
20/13
17/12
Torque 37:63
High turbo
Stage 1 engine
Rest is wtv gives 500pp
Stage 3 wr
Carbon hood
Windows
TC 1
ABS 4
It's given me 2:42 on my best lap yet. Very nice and grippy, but still squirely under braking. You get used to it, though.

Set sail in the Tank car this morning.
It steers and brakes like an ocean liner.
Finished 2 minutes behind.
Will have another go tomorrow and see if I can get a lap under 3 and a half mins
Does anyone have a tune for HMS Tank in the wet?
EDIT: Duh!! there is Nothing you can tune on The Good Ship Tank except ballast
