Antares Speed Factory is a tuning garage that aims to bring fun and fast tuned cars for everyone, most especially DS3 users. I can't and will not guarantee having the fastest tunes out there, but I'll be doing my best to make sure everyone will be having fun driving my tunes. Enjoy!
About Me
I've been around GT since GT1, but I've never really taken the game seriously until GTPSP, and that was actually how I ended up here in gtplanet, joining the Weekly Time Attack Challenge for GTPSP, where I enjoyed some success, winning 11 events and 2 session championships. I was only able to get a PS3 last year and played around offline with a used copy of GT5 until I was finally able to get my copy of GT6 early this year, and that's how I ended back here in gtplanet.
Currently, I'm competing in the WRS Time Trials, the GTP Nurburgring Weekly Challenge and just started participating in the FITT events. I think these events will help me improve both as a driver and a tuner. I've made some tunes during the time I've spent playing GT6 and I thought gtplanet's a good place to share them, which is why I've started this garage.
Tunes to see and expect
I'm a DS3 user, as such, all my tunes are done for and tested with the DS3. I highly appreciate feedback from wheel users, though, as it helps me gain an idea of what works for driving on a wheel.
I like to tune road cars a lot, whether it's for PP-restricted events or for a specific track, I'll really go out of my way to get a good tune done, and my road car tunes will almost certainly use Sports Soft tires and below. I'm not exactly a fan of the grip levels Racing tires have on road cars, though I will gladly use Racing tires on race cars as they are designed to be using slicks.
I'm a big Nurburgring nut so I'll definitely be putting up tunes that are made for running around the Nordschleife. It's a track I fell in love with ever since GT4 and most of my GT5 playtime was spent running around the Nurburgring.
I also enjoy drifting so I will be putting up drift tunes once I get the hang of tuning for mad slides. Right now, I'm still just experimenting with my own cars to see what works best when drifting.
As for tunes you won't see from me, you probably won't see drag tunes. I'm not a big fan of drag racing since I'm more of a racing/time attack guy.
Occasionally I will post seasonal event tunes, especially for race events, as I like to experiment with different cars during these events just to see how well they do (and easily farm some credits on the side).
Testing
I do a lot of testing on my own tunes as it also helps me get some seat time. I do this because my tunes aim for a certain handling feel, and I find it easier to make adjustments if I go and drive the car myself.
Tuning Guides
I don't think I can elaborate on my tuning style well enough, but most of my basics are taken from these awesome guides by equally awesome people!

Credits
At first, I was really hesitant to start my own tuning garage as I felt overwhelmed by the level of expertise here in gtp, but thanks to some people, I was able to gain enough confidence to go ahead and do it.
@hall90 for reviewing the first tune I posted here in GTP, the feedback inspired me to continue working on my tunes
@DolHaus @Otaliema for your guides and for welcoming me into the FITT events, thanks to you guys gtp just became a lot more exciting for me, it's as if WRS was just the tip of the iceberg
@Motor City Hami for that guide that I keep coming back to everytime I hit a snag in tuning

Once again, welcome to Antares Speed Factory, thanks for dropping by and I hope you enjoy the cars I have put up here.
Now then, LET'S GET THE TUNING STARTED!
