Quiet today boys, any one getting any where with testing or tuning Pro Touring? Think the update threw everyone off for a day, will be posting my Pro JAG tomorrow. Seems most are going with the Aston and I wanted to be different.

I'm in the jaaaaggg as well 👍Quiet today boys, any one getting any where with testing or tuning Pro Touring? Think the update threw everyone off for a day, will be posting my Pro JAG tomorrow. Seems most are going with the Aston and I wanted to be different.
I think the Aston is slightly faster in a straight line but the Jag has the advantage in the corners (and makes a better noise
)I will hopefully begin testing the Lotus and TVRs in the next couple of days

I'm in the Jag boat as well I liked the Auston but the Jag just felt better, I'm doing final tweaks tomorrow and will post it than. Bowtie your goin to hate me I'm not using my signature color in it but another rather expensive paint chip but man it looks sic.
I've got one TVR left to test and will be getting into the Lotus right after gonna try and finish them tomorrow.

I can switch mine across and split the cars by a few tenths, the Aston is a little bit harder to drive but makes up for it on the straights. The weight and dimensions of the car are close enough that they should respond in the same way to tuning, the transmissions are different but they're more or less identicalI did I was four seconds slower
The Jag is. Finally balanced machine of precision engineering and tuning it shal not share!

I created a FITT - Tuners and Test-Drivers Club in the new Community section of GT6. Club ID 1007890
I also created two events for this competition. Lets see how this works. This will be a good test for the next FITT event. https://www.gran-turismo.com/us/gt6/user/#!/clubid/1007890/event/

I will be using only one car to test, that was the point of keeping the cars so close that changing only supspension, LSD and trans along with ballast and downforce. But, I will be painting each car after each run to prevent confusion on the rankings list. Better not be too expensive.
My two cars are very similar and the settings can cross with the exception of the trans. Very very similar cars. I think I really picked two cars that are almost identical at these specs. The DB9 for me had issues mid corner while the Jag had entry issues with an occasional waffle mid corner. Jag slightly better exit while the DB9 more straight line speed for some reason. Was it just me or did you find similar?
My Jaguar can be found here but somehow I forgot to write down the ride height, will edit later.

If I had to guess then I'd say that the Jag has slightly wider tyres and the Aston has better aerodynamics.I will be using only one car to test, that was the point of keeping the cars so close that changing only supspension, LSD and trans along with ballast and downforce.

Has to be a reason PD has them 6pp apart, same power, weight and almost identical torque. My two also had the same weight distribution........I think the Jag has slightly better lateral grip but the aero advantage goes to the Aston. Just my thoughts though, lap times within 4 tenths and comes down to entry and exit of a few corners. Amazing the time gain or loss by missing either just slightly.

It will have more friends don't you worry about that. It has the speed advantage on the track it's only a few km/h but it has it.My DB9 wants some more friends on it side off the garage. Im being selfish here.
And I agree the DB9 looks like they tried too hard to make it a luxury road racer, while the Jag just says I'm a luxury car that happens to be fast.

And get to work on the Mustangs
