That's quite the engine transplant. The 4-53 even without the turbo is a massively heavy engine so the F350 was probably prone to a bit of understeer. What transmission was he running?
Thank you for the review. My tune is about throttle control more than my previous efforts have been. I didn't feel like I tried a new style but I knew this tune would be a hit with some and not so much with others. On the plus side, The time you set with mine is great and you were really consistent with all the other tunes too.RUF Super Sport Class

A bit of a wild child but fun to drive. Initial turn in was very responsive with the lift off oversteer, but the rest of the turn was all or nothing for me. If you hit your marks and were smooth on picking up the throttle it was fine. If you didn't, it would push through the apex and mashing the gas on exit would only cause the rear to slide out. The transmission was ok, but it seemed like it was catching the automatic shifting dead zone on a lot of low speed corners. Are you trying a new tuning style?
It's a great tune. A few tweeks on the LSD and you are there with the leader, maybe taking the smug face from him!
If I'm honest, had this been a blind testing, I would have had yours down as Randy's tune because of the comfort and stability. Those are your tune trademarks. Good thing it wasn't a blind test because you were up with the TT monsters instead.

I used the listed BB of 7/7 and the seemed to work ok, at first. The stiff rear end made it bounce around a lot and it loves to slide. The only way to drive this car fast is on the edge, throwing it down into the corners with the tires smoking...which I struggled with...
Hope you like it, and I precise that the springs rates comes from the real world Öhlins Road&Track suspension. 
I flipped yours and @MrGrado but yours took me all the way to the wall on the door. The brakes just weren't there at that particular moment in time. It couldn't have been me missing my brake point and locking them up! That would be classed as a mistake....That was mine
Thanks for the review, and I drive the car as that, always on the edge

Initial turn in was good, until the weight transferred to the outside front causing it to lose grip. Throttle oversteer on exit was an issue as I could never get out of the corner quick enough. The transmission didn't seem to fit the track, either that or I was going to slow, as there were some awkward shift points. The lack of power really holds this car back.

Not really much to say about this except a very solid tune. I am unsure why I couldn't get a better time with it. (I'm thinking the transmission has hurt the launch/speed out of the corners.... (Update: See bottom of post) But the overall handling is great. The only complaint is that it is a little snug on mid corner when applying the gas, but this is the best tune I think I've driven of yours. Awesome job!👍

This car had a personality. If you were nice to it, it would handle great and take you around the track. The moment you tried pushing it, it would push back. It's not bad; because you can deal with the push on entry and oversteer on exit. It could be faster, but the inability of not being able to short shift out of second left me bouncing off the redline on corner exit, costing time and grip.

This car is driven as much with the pedals as it is the steering wheel. If you're not either manipulating the gas or brake while forcing it down to the apex, this car will not work for you. A handful to drive, and no it does not match my driving style, but I like it because it makes me attempt to learn a different driving style.

A very quick car. Throttle control is highly recommended, but once you do place an egg under the "X" button; it is a blast to drive. The transmission was great, maybe a couple of odd upshifts right before braking but I know that wasn't your intention. Stupid automatics!

Once you learn how much it slides throwing it down into the corner and some throttle control at the apex through exit, this turns out to be a fun drive. The transmission sounds weird through the downshifts, but it works just fine. The major complaint would be the outside rear on corner exit...take care of that and your have yourself a rocket! Good job.👍
Update:
I was so impressed by the overall comfort in Randy's tune, but ticked off that the lap time didn't reflect it, I wanted to figure it out. I was thinking that the transmission was letting the speed down so this is what I tested...
I put on Ugabugaz tune using all the parts, settings, LSD, and especially that transmission....then I switched all of the suspension settings to the ones on Randy's tune. First lap = 2:00.609, fastest for me in this competition and the comfort to match.
Is it too late to enter a Super Sport Class tune???
This is a quick compare of some transmissions and the RPM drops I used when trying to find the differences...

Randy...your car will more than likely dominate the DC, but you were so close to hitting this one out of the park. Keep it up!
For what it is worth department, the track temperature stayed the same 74 degrees F for all my sessions but I did notice that it dropped to 73 degrees F several times when I exited a session.

I know there is a faster lap time car lurking here and this car did its absolute best to try and help me find it but I need to improve before I can unlock all that this tune is capable of. Well Done!!
Thank you for the review. You aren't that slow compared to me but if you want the Captain Slow throne for this event, you are free to have it. I am sure I shall take it back very soon. This tune was designed to be loose, quick and with enough grip to slide through corners and straight onto the gas. I think perhaps it is too me this time though. Oh well. These things happen from time to time. I will go back to safe and stable soon enough.Supersport Class Testing
I am just going to say it, "I hate this track."
This track exposes how poor of a driver I am on the technical sections of this or any course. I came very close to skipping this class but decided it would be in my best interest to try and FINALLY come to grips with what my problem is with driving this course. At the very least, I am going to find a tune to once and for all become one with this track!
I have taken Shaun's "Captain Slow" title for this class...the lap times are slow for each tune and rest assured I made a stupid mistake(s) with each tune to cost me at least a full second. I apologize in advance to all of the tuners...

Tune Comments - This tune was a bit of a surprise to me...normally I take to Shaun's tunes straight away but I think the combination of this track being one of his favorite tracks and my least favorite track shows. I had a small disconnect from this car and I never really settled in to driving it. I lacked confidence in my ability to improve lap over lap but at times the car seemed to be encouraging me and I think I started to unlock the magic but in the end it eluded me. I need to develop more patience with this track as well as in general...whenever the light bulb goes off, this will make for a great tune! 👍
Hmmm....
.001 now that's more like it!
Turn 2 and leading up to the backstretch hairpin if I remember correctly. I would get kicked up a gear a split second before needing to brake. But if you were driving faster than me (carrying more speed in those sections) and late trail braking, then you probably would have more time in the higher gear and not notice it.

Tune Comments - I never saw sixth gear. The car was stable but is it because my speed is slower and I can judge a bit better?...I don't know for sure. I always felt slow and I felt "ahead" of the car in wanting it to move faster as my mind tended to drift while driving. For me, this was a nice change of pace and I did seem to improve my flow around the track but I wasn't challenged like the rest of the tunes. Every so often, I would spin out in an area of the track that had been flawless before...driver error for sure but I think there was a twitch in the rear end when I didn't expect it. In the end, this tune had too many handicaps - the biggest one was me.
