No Beetle should be that fast, it's just plain wrongActually, was hoping someone would try it. Originally tested 8 or 9 cars, same LSD and stock racing suspension. Picked 1 of 2 weights and let them fly. Beetle was third fastest behind the scirocco and Focus which also did not get used.
Edit: Imagine if everyone had to use a different car, no duplicates.

Definitely the smarter, wiser and more creditable choice 👍I agree, that is why I used the Sscirocco
Handled like a wet noodle though.
Use - toe on the rear to give exit grip and - toe on the front to get it to turn in. stiffer rear and softer front will help it rotate as well and give you a solid feel turning in, go too soft and and the fronts over load past grip point.
For now it looks like I'm right in the middle where I'm supposed to be. I think I may have adapted too well to my car over the months I tuned it. Ah well, more experience. I'll poke around the other 'roccos and see if I can improve it. Bah! There's enough downforce on those things that you don't need SRF at all, even with hard tires. Still working on the fan car laps but Monza was a piece of cake, even without cutting the chicanes. Poor Vettel can't catch a break. Has to follow Riccairdo and me to the line!
. I'm having way too much fun with FFs now!Yeah I know SRF and racing softs is a little overkill, but I'm lazy and it is just easier to slam the throttle throughout the track and get 4 quick wins and 2 million creditsBah!

LSD IS KEY! I pushed weight to the rear which helped it turn but it flopped around the corners. Tough one to tune. Glad you are enjoying:tup:I gave the Beetle some serious testing but couldn't figure out what to do to get it to not handle like a wet noodle or a sack of potatoes. I learned a lot about tuning FF from this shootout and I've been working on my own Scirocco at 470pp. I think I'll try to tame the Beetle now too at 470pp and see how fast I can get it around Brands Hatch GP

Thanks to all the reviewers! One of these days I'll beat Hami with a street car!
Try @Motor City Hami Scirocco.
I have 2 words for Sebastian VettelThanks to all the reviewers! One of these days I'll beat Hami with a street car!

So I was disappointed in my tune (obviously), just spent 5 mins looking at it and made a few quick changes. If anyone is interested in trying please do and let me know. Still loose but better entry and exit. Ran 3 laps and already 1:29.867
Why couldn't I do this 2 weeks ago. Here's the changes
Height 70 / 60 (same)
Springs 9.50 / 14.00 (changed)
Comp 4 / 5 (changed)
Ext 7 / 6 (changed)
ARB 4 / 3 (rear changed)
Camber 0.0 / 0.0(same)
Toe fixed
Brakes 4 / 6(same)
LSD 8 / 21 / 5 (same)
Trans: Final 5.500, Top 112
1st 2.410 (changed)
2nd 1.786 (changed)
3rd 1.435 (changed)
4th 1.200 (changed)
5th 1.030 (same)
6th 0.905 (changed)
final 3.700 (same)
Downforce 150 / 120 (changed)
Ballast 30kg (same) @-40 (changed)
Power limit 89.2% (same)
This is for piece of mind only!!!! Not for testing in this shootout!!!!
Edit: May have turned SRF onbut still if someone could try and tell me if it's better I would appreciate it.
Thanks for checking it out, just played with it a little more and changed it again. Definately better with weight forward. As for the others bottoming out? That's a good question. That updated tune was a quick fix to see if I could make it better and unfortunately I had SRF on which obviously changes everything. That's what I get for trying to get gold at the final Goodwood event
still not there. Oh well, your tune and Hami's were the class of the field in my opinion. Obviously I got yours to go REAL FAST Guess if I had more downforce to begin with I might have been better off. Gamble failed. Really appreciate the feedback:tup:
Did you manage to get gold on the final Goodwood event? I am stuck on that too. I get frustrated after 30 mins and only making it to the end a couple of times so I move on to something else in the game. I even tried SRF on. TCS 5, ABS 1, Steering sensitivity 6 (DS3 pad user here) and I still can't get close. All this for a hundred thousand credits and a citroen.Thanks for checking it out, just played with it a little more and changed it again. Definately better with weight forward.

0.400 has got to be the most annoying figure when you are in the Red Bull car. Its like one squirt of the accelerator almost. I have to refrain from throwing the controller at the TV as I don't have a spare HD television ready if i did! I did drop the controller on my fiancees laptop the other night though. that didn't go down too well as she was using the laptop at the time doing some college work. oops!NO, still 0.400 off, faster with SRF and TC 1, sensitivity at 2. Every once in a while a load my best replay and try for 20-30 minutes, when I'm ready to throw DS3 through the flatscreen, it's time to move on. This event and the shifter karts at GTArena are what's holding me back
I'm hearing you loud & clear on this. I had the thrill of getting Gold in the Go-Kart only to be rewarded with the game freezingNO, still 0.400 off, faster with SRF and TC 1, sensitivity at 2.

I need bionic thumbs for thatAnd do not even talk to me about drifting
I agree, there is no need to retest with what appears to be a PD error or typo. I understand that the tuner should make a last check when submitting their tune, I have helped a few people before with a small mistake like this, I just didn't notice it before the tuning deadline.I'm afraid quite sure I tuned his car as exactly as it was listed, didn't really know that there was a max difference rule, partly my fault I guess but I just took for granted tuners knew what they were doing and I trust them 100%.
Having said that, IMO there's no need to retest his tune I doubt it would produce any different result. Actually, I might go faster as I've done quite a number of laps on AR I now know the good racing line.
I know there is this bug, that if you for example set your toes like 0.05/0.05 and exit and after awhile you'd re-enter the setup I sometimes found my toes were like 0.05/0.06 and I immediately knew the culprit, the PD.
I always round my numbers to nearest 0 or 5, like many tuners do, and I rarely use other numbers so I'd notice the anomaly straight away.
It's more than likely, that xande1959 is another victim to this PD's masterful programming that's designed to perfection that annoy you enough to feel pissed off but not enough to make you leave the game.lol
I'm counting number the days till official versions of pCARS, Asetto Corsa and Occulus Rift VR goggle come out and then I'm going to give my console to my friend. But then PD just started GT Academy so I'm still in it just for the sake of that. PD is really good at that, it's like a bad husband, just when you thought you'd dump him the guy does something wonderful or finds a job so you reluctantly stay with him.lol
