PRAIANO'S TUNES : SETTINGS FOR GT7
I don’t know how people get good times with the Z4. It handles well, but it’s so slow. I hate the sound of the exhaust too, but I wouldn’t care if I could win with it. Haha

Indeed it is! I'll have to admit at first I wasn't enthusiastic until Steve told me to TRY IT. WOW,, I'm enthusiastic about that little hotrod now. Fast? Not too bad, it reached around 115 on the straights BUT it sure scrambles around the curves!!I was pleasantly surprised and unless I miss my bet we'll be seeing that little Mini in more than just a fw one make races than just Claude's Wednesday Nite Invitational!!

It is a great little Hot Rod especially more so if you have the Honda crate motor to swap into it. I ran it at Le Mans vs the Group 4s & was surprised by the result. There was no rain during this particular race & I only did 1 stop for fuel & tires. Here's the results & my set-up. It's a bit squirrely but manageable with TC 1.Indeed it is!

Fellas, yesterday Pete (peppermallard) and I did a bit of testing at Daytona Speedway (not the road course) to see what transmission might make for some Beat 'em Up Good Gr2 racing. We installed the RACING Transmission and set MAX/TOP SPEED at 320kph (199mph). There was only the two of us but it seemed that speed makes for decent run alone AND drafting. Next time we try to duplicate the races we did at Blue Moon Speedway in GTSport let's try those settings and see what the group thinks. It would be fun to find something that works at Datona Speedway.

Close but no cigar. Swapped the Porsche engine into the Sambabus, installed all upgrades, all weight reduction & only managed 3rd. I used RH at start & had heavy rains after 2 laps. Switched to HW for 3 laps & IM for last lap. (Only 6 laps total. Usually have to do 7) Going to try again but starting with RS. (Still under 700 PP).

Greetings all.
I'm Patrick, (42 years old)
I noticed this group a while back when considering joining up for some online racing for fun and then noticed the age limit was still a ways off for me.
However, I see now that you actually do events where "younger" folks can join in and I will send a request for the event tonight when I get home from the office.
Also, I'm supposed to say hello to (I believe) pmallard. I'm Chris's friend.
