It may not seem very powerful at 308 bhp but it handles great on short, tight circuits and medium twisty circuits. The supercharger really gives it umphf through the first 4 gears without any of that turbo lag.

Really Need A tune

I only have the normal version of this car and I currently have a praiano tune on mine. That works well enough for my needs and I don't think ill make a tune for it myself right now. Praiano tune should work on the anniversary edition apart from the transmission settings may be different.

I'm too conservative. I have s phobia of the curbs after driving the 97T around Brands Hatch. Lol!

Don't let the kurbs worry you. Most of my cars can ride the kurbs quite well, apart from any car which I have identified as a pilot car.. They really do not like the kurbs..

@shaunm80 @LordJCS @cbarbosa could I twist ya'll arms into testing the current FITT Transmission challenge. Rather interesting results so far, it's fight between two of them

 

[chrisspeed281]

How about that? Foud it at Facebook

I am afraid I don't have the time to do any testing at the moment. I still have to do a few things on GT6 that have been put off for a week already. I will be back for the next challenge though and hopefully I can do some testing on that one.

 

[Soren Jacquet]

Hope it's what comes would be nice

Well... This is good news.

@Otaliema

I wish you would've asked me sooner. It's basically down to the wire now and that would only stress me out. And as we all know, feeling stress while trying out tunes is not a good mix. The results would'nt be fair so i'll take a raincheck on this one.

What i have posted was right

Update 1:15 on Wednesday
Picture from the new Seasonals

To be honest i'm disappointed about the update 2 VGT an bugs fixed ? The Chaparral 2X is useless for me...ok fast at straight but understeering and not setup able, the Infiniti drives ok but also no tuneable so two more Cars for the Courtyard. Only the new Seasonals are a Challange 👍. Seems like the work very hard at GT7 so only VGT's and Seasonals for GT6

Sorry for this post

No its cool. I am working on the seasonal events now myself. I feel like an extra in the first Star Wars movie driving that Chaparral car. Does anyone else see the resemblance? Slow going for me on these. May take me a while to get these done.

 

[LordJCS]

The understeer of the Chaparral 2X is just as wild as it's propulsion system. I'm pretty darn sure i could handle better strapped to a longboard after eating nothing but beans for a month.

The infiniti however is a good handling car. But.. Yet again no interior. I'm trying my hardest to see PD's logic in not having interior view in a car that handles like a dream, but instead puts an interior view in a fart-powered longboard?!

I'm more than confused at this point to be perfectly honest.

PD, Y U do dis?!

I agree with you about the Infiniti concept car. I just put in a 1.18.2xx which is very quick for me. Excellent car performance wise. It is a shame that you can't do much with it to make it perfect handling.. that would be a hard car to beat if you could tune it up some what.

 

[chrisspeed281]

The Chaparral 2X seems to be Ironman on wheels. I'm 4 sec. away from Gold after a clean Lap so far and with the Jag XJ13 I'm 0,011 away from gold 🤬 . Nürburgring 12th Place with the TS030 the Lancia Stratos brought me gold and that's enough for the moment

Edit : now i have 2 Jaguar XJ13

 

[Burned_Rubber]

Wow these are proving to be very challenging. In watching the top 10 2x vgt replays, I'm seeing full throttle through almost all the turns. That amazes me because I seem to hit the wall on the last turn every 🤬 time! Even at a slower pace!
Any luck from anyone in the rain race? I Can't seem to hold 10th by the 4th lap . That tells me I need a different car or tire strategy. My best so far is the gt500 stealth model. Any suggestions?

Do you have the Mazda Furai ? If yes give her a try. Very fast and low Weight . low Torque. low fuel waste and the Tyres waste is also low. i used the Car for the 24 min. Events and she worked well in the rain

I do have a Furai, I'll try ot out. Which tire compound worked best for you?

The RS for the start, after 3 laps change to Strong Rain Tyres and after Lap 7 to Intermedia. hope that helps but it's a very hard Event
