This engine was around when the engine ticket glitch was found, so it's fair to assume a lot of people have it. The ultra-high RPM turbo is a much bigger problem, but as I say in the video the time loss from using low-RPM instead is minimal. Anyway there's good alternatives if you don't have the engine, the A220 etc aren't far off at all
This is a glitch tune, yes, but it is an incredible one. I wasn't as fast as you, did an 26:44 RT with 7 Laps IM and 5 Laps RM. But it was really nice to drive and fast through the S parts.
I know, i'm using all those alternatives, still it really sucks that so many tunes require an engine swap and it is SO hard to get ANY engine. I got a few from all those menus during the "campaign" but since then, nothing. I have no idea how PD imagines to get those things. 365 Tickets a year and like 3 Engines?This engine was around when the engine ticket glitch was found, so it's fair to assume a lot of people have it.

Which pretty much means that it won't be killed any time soon unless PD drastically, and idiotically, changes the PP. This car with IM and RH is like 560-570PP, which is considerably below the 600 for the race. 30pp is a considerable difference in performance.
All my prior attempts fell about 10s short in P3 at best (~27:55) until I finally hit on a setup that really helped me keep up the pace.
I dont know,by all accounts it was recently dominating on daily race A so maybe pd will hobble it.i dont consider it a glitch or exploit,its using whats available to its best.Have you tried the Honda beat with engine swap?Thats bonkers too.lolGuys, just want to note, since I do see some people around saying it... The Rotorccino is not a glitch or exploit.
In that case:
I'm still very much a beginner at this and trying to get to grips with what it all does.
Im going to give this a try tomorrow,let battle commence. Due to its low weight,i wonder if some extra ballast in favour of more power would make it better,though looking at the specs doesnt look like theres much more hp to gain.In that case:

Other stuff:
Fuel map 1 down the straight, shift to fuel map 2 when approaching turn 1 and stay in it for the twisty section before switching back up to fuel map 1 as you leave the hairpin. I revved it out a little bit, but not all the way up to the limiter.
- 15 inch rims, wide width, wide offset
- Front - Type B
- Side - Type A
- Rear Wing - Type A
Truth be told, it's probably an awful tune and I will not be surprised if anyone who knows what they're doing looks at that and facepalms hard.
I had previously tried stuff like making the rear springs much softer than the fronts under the impression it would help slow the tyre wear and buy an extra half lap or so before the fronts are completely bald. My thinking was that if the front springs are stiff and the rear springs are soft, the rear springs will be less resistant to the rearward weight transfer from acceleration and take a little bit of the load off the fronts. It made absolutely no difference and just made the car feel awful to drive, so I just tightened them both to max and slammed a rigid body kit on to go all out and see how that felt. That suddenly seemed to have a big impact on my lap times and gave me the boost in pace needed to score the win.
OMG that's awesome. We were both tuning the same car at the same time!! And my struggle with the AI was identical to yours. I'll post my tune in the "without exploits" thread.I've started trying to win this race with as many cars as possible (on Hard difficulty) to try keep things interesting whilst grinding credits. After a few hours of stubborn trial and error, I managed to drag the Abarth 500 kicking and screaming to a win. I wouldn't recommend this unless you like suffering.

If anyone's interested and wants to try this I can post the setup I used (assuming nobody else has posted this before!), but be warned that this was a brutal no-stop on Racing Hards that also required some fuel saving.
The first couple of laps are rough sliding around on slicks, and getting out of the hairpin on lap 1 is not nice. I got taken out by the AI so many times there. Once it starts drying out it gets a lot better, but it requires constant vigilance due to pit manoeuvres from the AI and the fact that they must be aggressively passed over and over through the twisty half of the lap really doesn't help. If you end up stuck in a back-and-forth with an AI who keeps slowing down at awkward points when you're trying to make up time, it'll screw you. Oh, and the front tyres are also completely dead for laps 11 and 12.
Depending on the car, i found it easier to just do the hairpin the normal way without wall riding. First corner after straight though, its a huge advantage.
EVs for tokyo? Hard to get 12 laps out of them
The Audi e-tron can just make the distance for a tight win.EVs for tokyo? Hard to get 12 laps out of them
I think so too, because they really bahave differently, sometimes burning 2:08 laps sometimes 2:12 being their best. Since they drive on rails, 4 seconds is a lot.
That's it then, when i tried and saw the fuel doesn't go up, i quit lol.
