It just doesn't seem to be able to lower the starting RPM of a gear, no matter how long or wide the gears are the car always wants to be in the top 1000-1200rpm. Kind of feels like the car would be better with a 5 speed to fully utilise the power band.

Never experienced that one, MT OR AT?

I use MT, what if you take the car to daytona and try to use manual just to see if is a PD AT issue with that car? Just shift when you hit the redline, you can slow down and downshift and not worry about the brakes or turning too much. Just for information sake? Or Route X.

Probably a good idea, I'll have a look and see if there's any change 👍
(I really should stop being lazy and learn manual lol)

Never seen that method before, I don't tend to mess around with the TS. Usually I set it all the way to the left as I thought that was how it was done, opens up something else to play with for sure.
The subaru makes good power but its no red line car, the harder you rev it the further away from the power you get.

I have an idea for future FITT Challenges:idea:.....Badge of shame and badge of honor
Shame - finish in last and your car HAS TO BE pink in the next challenge.
Honor - finish in first and you are allowed to paint your car Spirited Green.
To beat the man, you have to be the man

that idea is good. I had an idea for a future FITT Challenge...Mille Miglia: A tuner shootout for cars 1957 or earlier at Cote de azur and one other tracks....

Sounds about right but you need to change tires for one if the tracks.

All 4 of my cars have been done since Monday and tomorrow I will take them for their final drives and decide which ones get to be the lucky ones.

Well, not that I'm intimidated (), but it does not help to be going up against a PRO in each class in @praiano63 AND @Motor City Hami. And @Otaliema came from nowhere in the last shootout.
Super busy at work right now and @Otaliema has created a really challenging competition. It may help you guys a bit.
I will tell you that I am focusing on the two areas where I have spent less time tuning. My Pro tune is 100% built for the dirt. I have run three total laps at Willow just to check the gearing. I have found a couple of surprising settings that are working for the dirt that have not worked for me in the past on tarmac. Some very odd things. My dirt tune is pretty much done.
As for the Street class in 100% rain, I am totally lost so far. I hate everything that I have driven at Stowe. I am going back to the drawing board. I haven't done much tuning for the rain so I really look forward to the challenge. I am taking the same approach with rain as I did with the dirt, tune for the rain. I will probably drive a few laps on Autumn Ring just to set the gears.
On a different subject, does anyone else with a force feedback wheel know better settings for the dirt. With the G27 it vibrates so much on dirt that I unplugged the FFB power. Is that my only hope for something useful?

I can see why its better to have a lot of good tunes. Gives the testers a lot of fun in nice tunes to make up for their time and effort.Sorry, just clearing my throat, What?.....
@Bowtie-muscle What car and class are you in?
