There seems to be some interest in a list of cars that can compete on certain tracks. I love Sarthe and I love road cars as some of you may be aware. This thread is intended to be a running list of road cars I have WON at Sarthe with. I intend to publish the car, tuner, best lap and overall time. This is intended to be an exercise by a relative amateur and what a baseline might look like for a given car/tune for the beginning-to-average player. I don’t consider myself much more than an average driver.
Assist Settings
Braking areas (they’re so inaccurate, I’m not sure why I still have this on other than my mind drifts at times)
Cone markers (again quite inaccurate, these also keep my mind from drifting)
Automatic Transmission
No ABS/TCS or other assists
Tuning sheets will be hidden under Spoiler tags and organized by manufacturer as I don’t want to clutter up the thread. When you see a ratio listed in the title of the tuning sheet, it is the fuel mapping I used (currently using AT’s), i.e., 6:3 is FM6 = 3 laps. I am starting to incorporate Lift & Coast to cars on the verge of 3 laps, but still using AT’s at the moment, I have indicated where this is the case, but if you see 4:2, it is likely that was under the old standard, so give it a try. Links listed under ‘Car’ will be my adaptation of a given tune (GT Auto parts will only be listed if they alter the PP value from the original tune), links listed under ‘Tuner’ will redirect to the tuning sheets originally published. If it says ‘No tune’, there is no tuning, or exceptionally little, done to the car, outside of possible upgrades to spec up to 700. If it says ‘Not a tune’, it indicates an amalgamation of upgrades with very basic adjustments to the ride height, downforce, ballast, LSD and/or gearbox and can be adjusted to suit personal preference(s). If you have a tune that I do not have published, please submit it to me. Requests for tune testing are fine, just say the word…and hope I have the car or the money to buy it.
My list is very broad and extensive, but my memory not-so-much these days. So I started from scratch. My goal was to feature at least one (road) tune from our repeat tuners. If I have missed anybody, please let me know.
I am now at the point where I want to try and test all tunes and compile a comprehensive list of all applicable tunes. If you have a tune that I have not tested, please submit it to me. This is still (currently) restricted to road cars.
Feel free to curate your own list here if you so desire (they do not have to be road cars) and I will link directly to your list. Creating a list is actually pretty easy and I am willing to assist you if needed.
NOTE: I anticipate 2 pit stops at Sarthe for tire changes alone to account for the weather. As a result, some of these tunes will have a 2 lap maximum with their fuel economy, even at FM6. They will be powerful or nimble enough to overcome this hindrance and still post easy wins.
REQUESTED TUNES (not finding anything in search results):
CHC Nova ‘67
DS 3 Racing ‘11
Peugeot 208 GTi ‘14
A very similar effort on Reddit, although /myckol does all his testing on Hard (and I believe using a MT), whereas my testing is all done on Easy using an AT, FWIW
