Aero settings are going to play a large role in this challenge as well too much and you loose speed not enough and you loose speed.
I chose cornering speed over straight line speed as I feel you spend more time in corners than you do on the straights and with it being a kind of slow car that's where the gains would be found. It could do with a sixth gear to allow for shorter gearing, I like a 5 speed but the engine does bog down dramatically in places
@Bowtie-muscle i tuned the car entirely with minimum wing settings added just enough to let you take T5 flat out. Has made for an interesting tuning challenge doing that.chose to have little wing on my car, I will be wrong? I thought; the circuit is not locked. speed e'medium to high
Ohh boy. Alright folks it's a fight for second place this time. 👍
I had a similar feel before I dulled the car a little, a nearly identical version ran a 24.5 but it was a complete monster, if you got one clean lap in ten you were doing well. The front end definitely lights up first but it doesn't seem to lose much in terms of grip and its always after the apex, not the best for tyre life but luckily not an issue we have to contend with. I don't think a safe car is going to win this one but there is going to be a fine line between fast and impossible

Ok, first of all. Yes, the setup has a large degree of default settings to it but I've adjusted what I'm comfortable adjusting. I had a play into unknown territory but either didn't like the change, couldn't notice any discernible difference or managed to drive around the changes I'd just made. Therefore I've arrived here.
I don't think it'll win any votes for the DC component but it's super fast. My personal best is 1:23:733
with sector times of 16.9, 11.6, 13.4, 19.7 & 21.8. On another lap I managed to register a 21.6 in the final sector.
To my fellow testers, drive it nice or it'll despatch you to places not planned
I spent a lot of time on getting the individual gear ratios where I wanted them. That's the one area in tuning I have confidence to back my own abilities. I did a little trimming of the rear wing to get a bit more rotation/reduce the front end push in the high speed corners. Anything else was absolute sheer luck backed up by a reduction in lap time & improved feel.
If you look at my suspension settings in comparison, I also did not venture too far from stock. Did remove camber and lowered toe, but springs and shocks close to stock. As I said once before, trans and LSD along with downforce will be the difference with this car in my opinion. Likely the trans will be the biggest. Good luck, 1:25.3 was my best, so you are way out in front. Lets see how testing goes, as @Motor City Hami seems to be fast and focused, @Otaliema and @DolHaus are always competitive. Should be interesting, but watch out for @xande1959 , something tells me his will be fast also. I'm just hoping testers like mine and it stays close to the top, mid pack and I'm thrilled.Well, here goes nothing

I did notice the similarities in some areas. With the engine having such a narrow powerband, I knew the spread of gear ratios would play a large part in how the car generated & carries it's pace around the track. As for downforce, I came to the conclusion that with 9 corners, T2 being the only one requiring lower than 3rd gear, a setting towards the higher end of the range would pay off in corner speed versus a penalty at the end of the straights. Downforce also helps in braking areas; not that a lot of that is going on here. I had a play with the LSD but reverted back to default as I only really wanted some help with traction out of T2. The changes I made were negligible at T2 but came with a penalty in behavior elsewhere. Patience with the throttle at T2 won that argument.
Stay tuned, I'm chewing on an idea I hope has some popularity to it
well my experience with this car, is that a DS3 set up will understeer on a wheel and wheel set up will oversteer on a DS3. I think the tunes that will do the best will be the ones that are neutral on a wheel and slightly oversteery on a DS3.Stay tuned, I'm chewing on an idea I hope has some popularity to it
As a DS3 user that uses the D-pad, I haven't got a clue what my car will be like with a wheel. Hopefully nothing requiring any more than a 1/4 turn at T2 & a lot less everywhere else.
Really glad you guys are having fun with it 👍
Maybe in GT7
I think they took extra time with the Aryton Cars to make sure they were very good. I haven't tried tuning a FGT yet but the RB Jr car is very similar in that small changes make a difference. 
Added to the results sheet 👍
