just used the de-tuned 500pp version of this car on the new seasonal race @ Daytona road course... it was awesome ! the 458 had plenty of power to beat the ai cars even the pesky lambo gallardo ip-560-4 '08 at bay on the last two laps. even a small spin when chasing down the lexus lfa'10 to get to # place with 2 laps to go, the 458 recovered quickly. the pesky ai lambo just kept coming. the ai cars get to be a pain when they lose. thank you again for the awesome tune for this car.

I have not noticed anyone commenting on the Callaway C-12 in regards to the Daytona Seasonal. It is an easy gold without modifying your tune. I would also like to take this opportunity to thank you for making GT6 more enjoyable with your tunes. Regards

just beat the new beginner level seasonal race @ suzuka circuit east course. what a really great tune for a little car. it took the lead & did not let it go. it would slide into turns often passing a car that was ahead of it. thank you for all of the time & effort that you put for the really awesome tunes that you post for racers like me. You so are the Man!

It is indeed a shame that at 600PP cannot perform as other cars...



I knew it! I've been playing with one in the past few days and was going to ask you what were your thougts on the Saleen...



Expert Level RC Seasonal Silverstone GP Winner! 👍

This car is not fast... it's waaayy fast!! Great tune, some throttle control is needed, other than that 👍!

I haven't driven this car since I tuned it up. Nice to see this

I used this car too for my win. It doesn't pull away on the straights but it does out corner any of the competition. A really nice car for this track.

I'll add this to the list of winners. Everyone loves a sporty italian number to drive around.

450PP SH tune, really? Thats impressive, most impressive!. I remember stating that all the Chromeline Collection rates in my top ten tunes i've created. I am still impressed you got a david vs goliath win out of that car though.

Mercedes are obviously a good choice of make for these seasonal events. 3 for 3 there

Well done indeed!

 

[danbojte]

Thank you very much, Shaun.
I like the challenge and to squeeze the most out of a car and me.

Edit : ... Especially, I LIKE racing. 👍

I ended up trying out the AMG VGT yesterday as well. Not the fastest car around when it's nerfed down to 600pp. But it still seemed to get the job done.

This seasonal has generated a good ammount of credits and whole heap of tuned race cars.

One car i found to be quite interesting to drive was the R33 Touring car with @shaunm80 tune, but with added power. My only wish is that the older sibling(R32) would like a power increase as much as the R33.

Very nice handling. The older brother/sister(R32) on the other hand did not fair as good.

It's all down to a refinement of the tune to suit the increased power. All it does as it sits now is providing me with a mahoosive ammount of understeer. So i'll spend the day trying to get her to agree with me that a power increase is a good thing.

I've lost several times under and over one second, Lord, but finally, yes, I've succeed. 👍

How far did you get with the R33? Winner or close to a winner?

Oh.. It's a winner!. When i drove it i came across the Zonda LM, McLaren kokusai and the GT-R Concept LM as rabbits and won quite easily.

Hey shaum 80
Thanks for your Tunes and settings they really have improvede My drivning skills
Have just set a time with the GT40 Mark I 15 th Anniv (1.15.360 ) on Circuito di Roma (reverse)

 

[shaunm80]

Oh.. It's a winner!. When i drove it i came across the Zonda LM, McLaren kokusai and the GT-R Concept LM as rabbits and won quite easily.

Good to know. Ill add this to the list of gold tunes

Thats a very quick time for that track. The GT40 Mark I is an excellent car, you wouldn't think it was a 60's car by the way it handles with this tune on it. Even with DS3, it is really easy to throw around with confidence. Keep up the good work, I try to make tunes easy for DS3 users and if it improves your driving skills, even better! congrats on that one.

Automotive porn warning!!




Looks like PD isn't that far off when it comes to the handling of the Stratos. ( 4:25 into the vid)

You cannot post these things!!! Do you wanna give me a heart attack!!??

Well.. I did put a warning out.. A bold one at that..

Group B cars is one of my weaknesses as well.

I know, just messing with you... TY for great video! 👍

EDIT: The exhaust blast on the Delta Integrale is ... And the girl next to the Cobra is hot!

How about this then? It's not Group B, but it might be something you like anyway.

I was just going to say about the Lancia Stratos handling. PD got that very right going by what happened to the real life one

@shaunm80 - My apologies for off-topic posts...

 

[shaunm80]

@shaunm80 - My apologies for off-topic posts...

No worries about the off-topics. They are cool. Nice to see some actual cars doing realistic laps with realistic sounds for a change. If PD could manage to get sounds half as decent as the real cars, id be a lot happier

Also, that ambulance would be faster in real life than most cars. They aren't speed restricted once they get the light and sound system going.

 

[LordJCS]

@shaunm80 - My apologies for off-topic posts...

Uh oh.. Did your heart "kick the bucket"?

Then quick!! Look at this before it's lights out....



Listen to that and compare it to the sound PD used for it in game.. Not too far off imo.

PD got these sounds pretty spot in... I'll give you that one. I have to say though, if they messed up the senna sounds, it wouldn't have gone down too well with automotive nuts. This is the one sound they had to get spot on.

You've got that right.

Well.. Now it's time for me to try out some more tunes and grab some credits.

Pretty close indeed. Just a few minor differences...

Audi R8 LMS Ultra 15th Anniversary Edition '12

Expert Level RC Seasonal Silverstone GP - Best 2nd (3 races) - ABS1 only

Even less competitive then the '09 version. Although the rear feels planted, almost glued, the main downside is the hard steering, on fast cornering causes understeer, which is also noted in mid corner accel.

On the 3 races done, me driving at limit, did not managed to catch any rabbit, including the weakest, GT-R Concept LM Race Car. Behind leader 5 seconds at finnish.

@shaunm80 @chrisspeed281 - If any of you try this car, hope can do better then me...
