Hi Shaun, today I did a comparison between your Ferrari Dino and that of Praiano on Brands Hatch 😊.

That of Praiano was more stable and made it possible to attack harder thanks to better handling.
The fact that it is equipped with soft comfort tires at the front and hard sport tires at the rear contributes a lot to this. So I modified your settings sheet which allowed me to match his 👍.

In terms of modifications, it is equipped with the wide body kit, type A front and rear bumpers and Praiano engine modifications.
I moved the ballast to get a 50-50 mass balance and tweaked the DGL values a bit.
Praiano's car accelerates harder thanks to the custom gearbox but yours can attack the corners harder thanks to the new weight distribution 👍.
However, you always have to be careful when accelerating out of corners or you risk oversteering 😜.
I haven't touched the aerodynamics with default values.

I think it is possible to improve it further but I prefer to let you finish the job 😁.

Can't wait to see what you think!

Ferrari GTO '84 600PP

Sports Medium Tyres

An easy to drive 600PP classic Ferrari. Not a tune for ultimate time/speed but one that you can drive safely and fast enough to win any of the races this car will enter. SM tyres also have excellent tyre life which makes this an amazing long race car.

Update: This car can win the WTC 700PP race (high payout race) with the following setup changes here.

AMG CLK-LM '98 800PP

Racing Hard Tyres

This car took a while for me to be happy with it before publishing. It is now a fast, safe and easy to drive Le Mans car. Transmission can be set to individual race tracks. Currently set to Sardegna for top speed which is one of the main tracks this was tested at.

I look forward to seeing what you make of this. It was one of the more difficult ones for me to get a happy place.

Winning strategy for WTC 800 Sardegna Race here.

Not a massive amount of tunes this time around. Just the two I really wanted to get done. Going to be doing night shift the latter end of this week so just wanted to give you all something new to drive.

I may look at upping the GTO '84 to 700PP as I know it can easily go that high and be really useful, for now I have just done a slightly lower 600PP tune on it.

When I have a few mins I will give this a look over and see how this variation feels. Thanks.
Fast and fun, but I can not get 3 laps at Sarthe no matter what I try. Not that Sarthe was what you tailored it for, just FWIW.
You are right, Definitely not tailored for the sarthe race. way to fuel hungry this car! Aimed more for the road car races that need a 700PP car to win. Definitely a fast car which can make most races fun and safe.

1st attempt with this car at the WTC 800 Sardegna race. 1st place. :)

A very fast, safe and easy to drive car for this event.

1 stop only, change tyres if you want but you really don't need too. Strategy is FM4 from start to finish. Lap at 1.42-1.41s occasionally. refuel when indicated (around lap 9). Finish 45 seconds ahead of the next car. Easy peasy!!

What a car, Glad I persevered with it and made it this useful as I have! I now have a second grinding event to make money now, not just the 30 min 700pp race that I have been using for weeks now.

Is it Christmas morning already? Left a race half completed last night, now I’m scrambling to finish so I can test this.
 
Ferrari GTO '84 600PP
Stellar drive, really nice performance on a pretty wet track (that pesky rubber-banding weather again). Changes include some slight aero and ride-height adjustment, a custom trans, weight reduction and other bolt-on’s.

The fuel is bad, I ran out near the finish line (see picture) and the best I could get was 2 laps. A FM of 5 is required to achieve that without other measures.

Fast, fun, easy to drive, bad on gas, but I absolutely smoked the field in a WET race.

I have a fully built GTO that I’m tuning up right now to see if I can get 3 laps, will post in about 35-40 minutes.

For those of you who use my tunes. let me know which tunes you use to win events and I will add them to the events list on the first page. It will make it easier for others to know which tunes are capable of winning each and every event.
 
Ok, I'm midway through a race on a 3rd tune and fully upgraded internals definitely have improved the fuel burn, but not enough. Also, for some reason, the performance in the wet is not as good than with the bolt-on only engine. Power-to-weight ratio is all I can think, I don't feel that I'm driving that much more aggressively.

I have 2 more ideas to get a 3rd lap and I know it's possible as I have a couple of modified Priaino tunes that can do it. My overall strategy is shifting because after 6 races between yesterday and today in the GTO, the rain ALWAYS comes in hot and heavy after the 2nd lap. I think if you crack a certain time threshold it's coded to slow you down. If I can get 2 laps, swap to IM's for the next 3 and finish back on Hard's, I'm set for fast cars at Sarthe.

EDIT: A screenshot of me trying to lap the field.

Ok, I managed to get the 3rd lap back with another adjustment to ride height and removal of the Anti-Lag. This is obviously on the version with souped-up internals. I will fool around with the bolt-on version later, but I'm sure I can squeeze the 3rd lap.

The strategy is 2 laps on FM2 with RH, 3 laps on FM6 with IM, 2 on 2 with RH.

A 4:10 lap time is definitely possible, I screwed up on the big hairpin and just missed it.

Nailed it. Dialed in just about perfectly and on the cheap too. It's a custom trans, but probably unnecessary, I didn't make any changes to it. The wing may not be needed either, but I already had it on there. FM6 gets 3 laps, 2 gets 2. You can push through the 7th lap if needed, but you should have enough of a lead after 6 to sit at the finish until time expires and then cross. I was falling asleep and still killed this run.

Cracking job. Love the work you put in. I have added the link to the OP so others can use your work if they want. Thanks.
It's possible to win Tokyo 600 with the V8 Vantage S

What a beauty. Can’t imagine a sweeter ride to cruise around Tokyo in. I have added this to the circuit list too. Thanks
 
Two stops, lap 4 i change to soft competition tires, and lap 8 i change again. You have to refuel at every stop.
 
Hope your all enjoying the new update. If anyone got better than 30000 credits with the roulette spin let me know how because I got the worst prize once again.

As for more positive thoughts, easy wins for the new track. 550 race I used corvette c7 at 650pp. Fun fast and easy. 700 race the ford gt. Sits at 707pp from the original tune but goes amazing. I have changed it a little and will upload soon the new parts I have installed to get it to 700pp once again.

Finally, the latest clk tune i posted at 800pp. Seriously good for this track. No stops required and win by 1 min over the next rival. Strategy is fm4 for 5 laps, switch to fm5 until the end of lap 9 and then you can decide what fm you want to run for the last lap. Tyres hardly deteriorate at all.

I am currently 1 million away from being able to afford the new bmw mclaren now. Hopefully it is till there in 2 days when I have finished all my night shifts.

Hi, don't worry, I got my 30000 credits too...
In revenge, I humiliated the AI on Le Mans 700pp with your Nissan Silvia😂, in very difficult weather conditions between the end of the 2nd and the beginning of the 5th lap.
The picture speaks for itself 😁

Hey mate,

Im not usually one to ask for a specific tune.... but: '32 Ford Roadster at 550PP for the Glen??

Surely you are as intrigued about this as I am.

I really want to get the 10 mill bmw mclaren car first. Before it goes up n price next time around. I might get it though as long as it doesn’t sell out if I have enough left over.
 

So even with the spanish I could see what he was doing to get stuff. Maybe best not to openly share it too openly. I am sure it’s out there already on YouTube or another thread. I appreciate the thought though knowing that I am always broke.
 
Huh, maybe on an alt account just to see. I have far too much time and energy expended to risk a ban on my main.
