@cbarbosa and @LordJCS - I know that you are both done/nearly done with testing for the FITT challenge. A big thank you from myself for doing that. It is much appreciated and if you are ever free in the future to do this again, I know that a few of the FITT members would be grateful for your reviews and time given. None more than me and @Bowtie-muscle for this time around.

When you want a car creating, let me know what car you want and a PP range to aim for and it shall be done. Great work by you both and I look forward to creating you a car to show my appreciation.
 
Howdy folks. Life seems quiet around here lately, certainly is on my side with tuning right now. I have a few things going on but nothing ready for publishing right now. I am working on a few really nice cars which I know a few of you already have in your garage. I am taking my time with them as I want to get them spot on. Hope that all you guys are well and enjoying GT6. Uni work is taking most of my time right now which is not great but i did expect it would happen eventually. Never the less, when I have a few spare moments, I will have some nice tunes for you guys to use.

This car is unfinished at present but it is still good for 1.28s-1.29s around the 500PP SS Night Seasonal event. When I have time, I shall refine this tune a little more as it can throw the rear around but it is very easy to control and can be quite fun. The original FITT entry entry which this car has been based on is extremely balanced and this version is no different really. A few slides here and there but not too bad considering I've added 50PP to the car and about 100 BHP to the engine power.

I love the look of the Reventon. It looks like a stealth bomber from the front with that triangle nose. all it needs is laser guided side winder missiles to come out of the air intakes and it would be like the Lamborghinis of old :) Nice wins by the way, two very different cars indeed.

Yes Shaun, you're right about the Reventon. :)
The Lancia has it's own personal charm. It's too bad that such an important innovator brand in automobiles history just couldn't keep the pace. Great scientists and bad marketing.

I agree with you about the Honda NSX Type S '99. It is a handful but it is fun when you get it right, the car feels really nice. Thanks for the notifications. The seasonal post has been updated. :)

The rear end is slightly loose and has a tendency to slide around just before and just after a corner entry/exit. It is very controllable and has been deliberately left in to assist with rotation and steering input. It may feel strange at first but after a few goes, you will find confidence in it and start to find better and quicker corner entry techniques with this variation. As always, any feedback on this experimental technique is always welcome. :)

This M4 coupe comes installed with a High RPM Range turbo kit which makes it faster on circuits with lots of straights and fast flowing sections. It suffers with slight understeer in some low speed corners but this is offset by the increase in BHP and acceleration from 3rd gear upwards. Not too much different in feel to the Mid RPM range turbo kit but it will try and step out at times. This is easy enough to control and will rarely spin around on you. Enjoy :)

There's a mistake somewhere here or I'm too stupid. I see the same car and the same description (600PP/SS). :drool:

The cars are slightly different. One has more power and isn't as agile, the other is more of a wild child but still controllable.. Subtle differences make these cars very good in their own way.
