Just a word of advice, I found to get the best results when tuning to low pp classes, the lighter the car the better. I haven't tried the tune but I will tomorrow. If I were you I get rid of the ballast

Let´s see if you tried the tune.
Maybe your opinion changes then.

i'm gunna put this car up against my 450pp civic, at Trial Mountain, will post some results up, asap.

Ford Focus RS 451pp@234bhp 1000kg

Trail Mountain-1:37.893(clean)1:37.074(Red)

I must admit this is fun to drive, very fun. It gave me same feeling as when I was testing RKM's RM Golf, and that was that I wanted to keep going and going, setting faster lap times each lap. I was 0.8 ahead of the fasted lap, then I got cocky at the end and cut the last corner. Nonetheless I could've got a 1:36.xx if I kept trying, I only ran 9 laps/14mins in this car and it was so easy to drive, I take back what I said about the ballast, it does a great job. Now to see what my civic can do....

Honda Civic (EP) 450pp@253bhp 1013kg

Trial Mountain-1:35.398(clean)

I'm surprised but then again i'm not. I thought I wasn't going to stand a change beating the focus' time, but I was wrong. On the first lap I posted a 1:37.7xx then on the 4th I got the quickest 1:35.398, the rest were 1:36's. The civic felt alot more stable and slower for some reason, although it was much quicker.

Feedback on your Focus:
I think maybe if you increase the Front ARB stiffness & Front damper Compression maybe it would make it more stable, I cannot say. Also try adding some negative toe, I normally start with -10 Front & -20 rear for FWD cars.

I did enjoy your tune, I admit I was expecting it to be alot worse, it had hardly any understeer. But I tried to get the fastest lap but it just wasn't happening.

Hope iv'e helped you, and don't take anything the wrong way thanks

I'm going to try this out, i'm currently using it in 500pp/355bhp series, do you think this tune can handle the extra bit of power?


Mine currently has 344bhp and is at 1018kgs and 500pp

Honestly , I don´t had it that high.

Apply the settings to yours and try it.You need to set the Final to 5.250 too.

Hey raVer, any LSD settings? I'll try the tune without fitting an LSD, but it seems almost incomplete without one, do you think the stock one is perfect or perhaps good enough?

EDIT: Yeah, it still understeers, a little bit improved but I think an LSD is required.
