I was thinking Chrome Line also. Mostly cause of the wing.
Before this challenge, I also did not care much for the M4. But I like it now more than the M3, just my opinion. Try mine and shaun's, might change your mind. Or make you like it even less.The joke about driving the wife's car made me laugh so hard I almost had to comment about it. Thought I'd give it away if I did though. Soft is easy. Can't deny my M4 wasn't easy to drive and it appears most times in it were close to the same. I tried to make it easy for everyone to cruise around in and get a respectable time. Which seems to have happen. Sort of like a loaner car for a track day.
The power and torque curve on that thing is seriously flat. Hence the long transmission with a short final gear.
I didn't really care for the M4.
The only thing I don't like about the M4 is the 7-speed trans, aside from that it feels lighter and more precise than the V8 M3 which is a bit of fat lumpBefore this challenge, I also did not care much for the M4.

You won't find much of a pattern in the numbers without driving them and thinking about what the various settings are doing in various instances, this is the beauty of the GT tuning physics. The only pattern is that loose is fast, unless the car is an absolute animal to begin with then adding understeer and stability to increase driveability will only slow you down, it might buy you a few tenths with a less confident driver but it will cost you a few seconds when a faster driver takes the wheel.Well the event is over. I remember testing the Ford GT tunes, so I'm not surprised to see @Otaliema and @sinof1337 with top tunes again here. Also, congrats testers, about 1/2 seem to have been faster than me in my tune (with likely 10 times or more less laps)! I guess the harsh reality is, I'm slow on this track, unfortunately.
Never really got the hang of tuning this car either, so I was curious to try find a common theme with the settings among the faster tunes but there doesn't seem to be one to find from just casually studying the settings without trying the tunes.
It is easy to do with these cars. There is a fine balance when the car reaches its peak and then gets a little difficult for others to drive in the same way that the tuner can.I feel I fell victim to over tuning. good job everyone for tuning and testing for this fun event.
Funny thing being a tester, I saved mine for last, couldn't remember how I tuned it.It is easy to do with these cars. There is a fine balance when the car reaches its peak and then gets a little difficult for others to drive in the same way that the tuner can.
That was a nice job with the Wife's car!👍Right, hence me dumbing my M4 down so much everyone could do okay.
i really should get them out for a spin. But with suddenly watching 4 more kids I don't get any play time nowRight, hence me dumbing my M4 down so much everyone could do okay.
If only he had a wifeThat was a nice job with the Wife's car!👍
Great job everyone and way to go podium winners!!!
@MrGrado I had a feeling you were tuner 18. The need for constant throttle usage to manipulate the car is your style. I just don't have the reflexes to keep up with it and drive like you. I'm not part alien!
@coryclifford nice setup you had there. You've only had a couple FITT challenges under your belt, but that car reminded me of one of Praiano's challenge winning monsters.
@Voodoovaj I'm interested in what changes you might be making to your app/future tunes.
@xande1959 another solid tune, my friend, I expect nothing less!👍
Fast and friendly that's the keyFoiled by @Otaliema again! Maybe third times the charm...
Seriously though, congrats to everyone on another great event.
