LOL, my new swapped cheat code. I’m including the tune on this one for you to sample if you’d like Shaun. I toyed with the gearbox a bit, it feels close. This car in this iteration would not pass your safety test, but I think a little more work on the LSD and/or the suspension will clean it up. This assumes you took part in the bonanza or have the engine via more legitimate means.
The 01 and 09 porsche of this version are pretty similar and very good drives. I like that both can be trusted with the rear end grip under acceleration.
ECU power is always reduced first now and ballast is only used a last resort, its main use is for balance of a car.Interesting. Whats your stance on reducing PP using ECU or power restrictor and/or ballast. Guessing reduce ECU to 70 if needed before touching power restrictor? Not sure what difference really is. So if you had to reduce pp 50 or whatever, you;d always reduce ecu to 70, or from your knowledge of the game, cars etc sometimes reduce to 85, then restrictor by 10, ballast by 50 (keep orginal weight distro the same) etc. Plucking numbers out the air, but hopefully clear what I'm getting at
Would you always follow set routine of restricting using ecu, then ballast to max, then restrictor or whatever order you use. Or are there situations depending on track, car etc you'd follow another formula?
Also with gear boxes,is it simply a case that racing manual allows full customization of ratios, or all ratios/things being equal theres no performance gain, just purely customization flexibility that you pay for with racing box? Clutch/Flyweels make 'performance' enhancement to efficiency, speed of actually changing gears, not losing more momentum than necessary?
I love the looks of the '16 RS porsche. A great looking and amazing handling car. Very trustworthy on all tracks.
If you want to do an endurance race, don't go electric... It is an awesome car/tune in its base form and fun to use in a race where fuel isn't a factor for sure though.
I have to say, this car is a great surprise and the 2JZ engine makes this car awesome indeed. I get what you mean about the fuel but it does also have a High RPM Turbo so it was never going to be kind on fuel/oil. I like this car is stable and you can drive it to its limits and feel confident (in the dry at least). I haven't driven this thing in the wet so I can't say what it would feel like for that.
F-A-S-T. Only one drawback, fuel economy and there didn’t appear to be anything I could do about it and I tried quite a bit. So I set it at 6 and let it ride except for L3 at FM1 in anticipation of rain that never came. Handles like a dream, acceleration and top speed are both very impressive. Just an all-around great car and tune. Kudos!
Thanks. I do like this car myself. Always felt nice to drive at the limit.
I am not sure yet. Still have to buy this car. Been saving up for the invitation cars which now have a great purpose with the hypercar events.
It’s because part of the bio for the car includes stuff to do with the road car which can acheive 216mph
), managed to get a bit of time to test out this "bad boy"...
Hello Shaun!
Many thanks for this build.! I wonder if you can do me a favour.
This is one of my all-time favorite tunes of yours drives like its on rails. Very safe, you really have to push to get yourself in trouble with this one. The one thing I can’t figure is the fuel economy, I can get 2 laps at FM3 (for every lap except my final one, go figure), but can’t get 3 laps to save my life and I’ve tried everything I know to improve the economy. Still a wonderful car, as evidenced by the lap times.
This car was a champ at Sarthe and she faced the worst of conditions. With over 2 bars of water on the track on L4, she turned a lap time I’ve seen few, if any, other cars match. I absolutely should have had a sub-4:20 L7 and was on-pace for it until I collapsed coming up the backstretch AND managed to run out of fuel. This very well may be my new favorite FF in the game.
Safe as can be, even with the aggresive version. Best lap was fairly low as the weather has started playing a new game where it shows on the radar and you swap to IM’s, then skirts the track, so time gets wasted. Then it shows up again and you think, ‘aha, you won’t fool me again’, only to actually get hit with the rain and caught off-guard trying to run the hot-lap with RH’s. All 3 of my tests have had this occur today…
Both the McLaren cars are amazing and extremely capable machines. I think i prefer the other one "Fina", however this car is a very close in terms of enjoyability and control.Hello Shaun!
Since my hollidays are over (
This is the "rebel" one to his big brother (the LT), which is more civilized and a bit of gentleman racer...
- Settings used as stated on the tune - FM4
- Circuit: Watkins Glenn 800PP 10 laps
So, overall, love the car, felt like a real driver, making all those little input corrections to keep it safe!!
TY! 👍
This car definitely makes those races very easy! I tried it myself and it was extremely fast.
As gr.4 cars go, this is probably one of my favourites. Being british, I do like to use my own nations cars when possible. I agree that it down on power compares to other cars but I don't believe it makes a huge amount of time difference as it puts all the power it has down so well. Nothing wasted at all.
I will try and get a snap shot of this for you.
This car has always been good in any version of Gran Turismo. It is a a goto car for a lot of races and will win them with ease. It is odd that I could get this car this good but I am still struggling with the actual 4wd lambs. I can't seem to get a happy balance in them like I did here.
Im not the biggest fan of these american cars but I do like how they drive when tuned right. This car feels nice on most tracks I've tested it on so its good to see someone else taking out for a spin.
A nice surprise. didn't expect to see an FF car at low PP being used for this. Greats times by the way. You must have driven the wheels of this thing.
For me this car is awesome. In AT transmission which I use, this thing is a gas guzzler. Even on FM6 it needs more fuel than the death star. It does more than make up for it in terms of speed though and I always win the race regardless of the amount of pit stops required.
The murcielago which took me a while to be happy with. I really do like this iteration and I always go aggressive too. Safe and houses this thing and fast to boot! A real drivers car that will make you smile all day long.Safe as can be, even with the aggresive version. Best lap was fairly low as the weather has started playing a new game where it shows on the radar and you swap to IM’s, then skirts the track, so time gets wasted.

I have put a few parts on this car, 600PP SM tyres and about 365BHP. For the 15 mins I played around with the settings it does have potential. The wide body kit also looks pretty good so that improves the looks a little bit.
I went bald testing this car I think. There was my first attempt a few days back that took a fair amount of trial and error, but got her dialed in pretty well and thought I’d give her another go. Her biggest drawback is the poor fuel economy, with an AT, the best she can manage is 2 laps. Which means, the weather has to cooperate and you only get 1 chance at a true Best Lap on L7. First race was a rain-out and only got 6 laps in, 2nd race I managed 7 laps, but the rain came so late I couldn’t get a best lap that was any good and the final race I got hit with 3 separate rain storms. As soon as one passed and the track was nearly dry, in came the next, it was surral. Anyhoo, the upside is I feel VERY comfortable in this car now and I managed to turn a 4:11 opening lap, so the potential is there to be a legitimate competitor. Best lap was a 4:18.625, you don’t want to know the overall time, lol.
Another successful up-tune for Sarthe. Excellent fuel economy, great grip and handling. A bit of oversteer when jumping on the throttle exiting corners, but nothing that can’t be fixed by having a gentle ‘right foot.’ Can turn at least 4 laps at FM5 with an AT, probably a 5-lapper with a MT, possibly even 6. Excellent little hot hatch, fun drive! I made a post-race adjustment to tighten up the gearbox a bit, it should be even quicker now.
OMG, I feel so bad for you and Praiano for having to set-up the initial tunes for this car (he also mentioned what a ****-box this car was stock). What a pain this thing was to get drivable at 700, I can’t imagine what it was like to get it drivable at all. I’m tempted to slap the stock settings on just to see how ***** it really was, lol. After perusing both of your set-ups, but committed to remaining as faithful to the tune as possible, I got her ‘figured out.’ For me, on slicks at low speed, she had the turning radius of a stretch limo, so I pulled the ride height way up and that corrected the problem. I wound up widening her as well, but I’m not sure what impact that had on anything.
