What do you mean by "over driving"? This is a racing game, and it's AI can drive just as fast as you, without accessories and without error, they're perfect.
I've since bought other racing cars and it's clear that they did something to MR. The worst e ample yet is the Ferrari F40, which makes the GT2 look like a cake walk. That car is truly un drivable for me, any tuning advice?
Over-driving can mean driving the car past it's limits. Just because a car CAN do 160 MPH into that corner, it doesn't mean you should! Or, sometimes you need to ease into the throttle in the lower gears, lest the rear tires start spinning. Things like that...
Anyway, the F40 is probably my favorite overall car in the game. Let me suggest that you go
HERE and apply that tune to your F40. You may notice that there are several different setups listed. For starters, just go with the 540PP version listed. Meaning:
Specs - No Power Upgrade - No Fuel Curb Weight
Horsepower: 471 HP / 478 PS at 7000 RPM
Torque: 425.2 ft-lb at 4000 RPM
Power Limiter at : 100%
Weight: 1169 kg ( weight figure without fuel, calculated based on 0.711kg for 1 litre of fuel and 1254kg on 120L full tank )
Ballast : 57 kg
Ballast Position : -13
Weight Distribution : 42 / 58 as in real life ( without fuel )
Performance Points:
540
I would suggest that you start off with the suspension setup that uses ride height of 101/101:
Suspension - Eibach ERS Springs with Street/Track Tuned Damper and Real World Alignment
Front, Rear
Ride Height: 101 101 - standard
- Alternate Ride Height F/R : 63 56 ( lowest ), 115 115 ( high ) and 81 101 ( track lowered)
Spring Rate: 8.25 12.00 -
Alternate High Speed Track Oriented Spring Rate F/R : 12.00 12.00
Dampers (Compression): 7 7
Dampers (Extension): 7 6
Anti-Roll Bars: 4 4
Camber Angle: 0.5 1.8
Toe Angle: 0.33 0.33
Disregard the Alternate settings, for now... I would use the following LSD settings:
LSD -ZF Self Locking LSD with 60% Lock and Medium Preload - AUTO Motorsport Mag 1989 Review Version
Initial Torque : 30
Acceleration Sensitivity: 36
Braking Sensitivity: 36
Don't forget to adjust the weight settings:
Weight Reduction Stage 3
Window Weight Reduction
Ballast : 57 kg
Ballast Position : -13
Finally, setup the transmission properly:
DOG CLUTCH TRANSMISSION - Corrected EU Market AUTO Motorsport Mag 1989 Review Version Ratio Gear Set and Final
Install all power parts
Set Default
Set Final to 4.000
Set Auto Max Speed to 310kmh / 193mph
Adjust each gear :
1st 2.769
2nd 1.722
3rd 1.227
4th 0.963
5th 0.767
Final Gear : 3.620
Optimum Shift Point : 7400-7700 RPM ( as in real life )
Go ahead and put on any tires you'd like...I'd recommend something in the Sports category to start with. If you really want to feel safe, go with Sport Soft, but Sport Hard is probably all you need.
Good luck! I hope you enjoy it. The car is still a handful. You're not going to just keep your foot to the floor the entire lap, but it does drive well! 👍
