Exeter GT Tuning (Updated with new seasonal setups)

[chrisspeed281]

It is the last few days of the A Spec seasonal races which have produced a lot of good tunes and also brought some older tunes back into the fray. The list of winners has been updated and it is quite impressive. For anyone who is looking to grind out credits in some unconventional low PP cars or just have a blast on Ascari, then check out the list below before the seasonal events are updated. Hopefully the next batch is as fun at the current A Spec races.

Actually it is 93 kg ballast instead of 98 kg ballast. And you're right, no carbon bonnet.

Ill go back later and sort out the TT post.. I have no idea whats going on with that one now. Obviously something going on with it here. Thanks guys.

On the other hand. Im liking your comments on the upgraded TT settings. Good to see they have gone down well.

Its a good thing that you liked the boy racer car. Nothing more than a big fat exhaust and a low pressure turbo, what more does a 17 year old need?

Your right, I keep forgetting it's classified as race car...

Theres no reason the 7.5 million rare Ferrari can't be entered surely. that is a road car as far as I know. That might be worth a shot. Ferrari 250 GT Berlinetta passo corto CN.2521 '61 on Page 4.

Hey Shaun. I was ready to bin the Reventon I bought, I was that disappointed with it. Before I did that, I decided to search for a tune. I found a grand total of 3! Anyway, I put yours on & wow, what a difference! Great job, mate! I've now marked the car as a favourite. 👍 Thanks for that...

I agree with that. In stock form, the Reventon isn't much to shout about. Looks wise, it is the second best looking Lambo in the game but they didn't do the handling any justice what so ever. It is a little more Lambo like now which makes it fun to drive, not just an expensive garage toy.

Hi Shaun how is your tune going for the jaguar XFR i saw that on your list a couple of weeks ago?

 

[chrisspeed281]

It looks like PD hear my pray and i like all new Seasonel and if the Toyota TC030 is the Rabbit at Silverstone it's a challange to fight with the Zonda, McLaren F1 or Corvette LM. Nice payout 👍

 

[shaunm80]

Nice pic Shaun. Where was it taken?

The picture was taken in Northern Vietnam on the Sapa trek which I went on. It was a beautiful part of the world.

The XKR hasn't been looked at yet. Uni life is very busy so I try and do a couple of good tunes a week rather than trying to rush them out when they are not really ready for publication. They are certainly on the list though.

Excellent win. Is that seasonal been removed now that the new batch of seasonal events have been released?

I shall do this race once I have eaten. I think the Toyota TS030 car is a good car to go with. I shall try it with others though and see what cars I have are capable.

Yes, Shaun, it is gone.

The Toyota TS030 was beaten by my Zonda R (best lap 1:53) an i won also with the Ford GT LM Spec , the McLaren F1 and the Corvette C06 LM (no TS030) It's time to jump in my old Race Cars

I don't have much time for GT6 at the moment so I just picked the cars which would get the easy wins. Lotus Elise Type 72 '01 at 400PP, Ferrari 458 Italia at 500PP and the Toyota TS030 for the Silverstone win. I am looking forward to seeing what other cars are found which are capable of winning these seasonal events now

A few cars which I feel have it in them are;

Nissan GT-R GT500 Stealth Model
Audi R10 TDI Stealth Model
Mercedes Benz SLS AMG Stealth Model
Honda NSX GT500 Stealth Model
Honda Mobil 1 NSX '01
Honda HSV-010 GT Base Model '12
Tuscan Speed 6 Touring Car '00
BMW M3 GT2 Base Model '11
Mercedes Benz AMG VGT Racing Series
Nomad Diablo GT-1 '00
Mazda RX07 Touring Car
Nissan Skyline GT-R R34 Touring Car
Nissan Calsonic Impul GT-R '08

These are the cars which are showing as available in my eligible car choice at 600PP. There are others which are lower than 600PP but I think that may be expecting too much of cars like the S2000 LM Race Car and Impreza Touring Car. They would require a nearly perfect run to get a win, if it was at all possible.

Will check it out but the line on the transmission graph looks good at that range so just put 5th gear all the way to the right and it should be alright for the transmission settings at the moment.

👍 No rush, i'm testing a bunch of race cars at the new seasonal, including 2 from your garage. The 250 is going to be a hard race, since its only 500PP at SS...

Will leave it for last...

If you can get even close to a win in the 250 GT race car I will be extremely impressed. Of course Ill say its all down the tuning but you know, credit where credits due and all that!

Those were hard races!! Impossible to catch the rabbit, but the car is extreme competitive for only 500PP...

All clean races, ABS1 and extra acceler. caution (oversteer)...

My curiosity is completed, now I know why this car is rated as racer... If normal would kill all the competition...
