Nice combo, but with this kind of power on such a small track don´t see myself doing a lot of stints over the week.
After break in the car, first splits:
T1: 19.037
T2: 19.442
Will post a pic this night

Really fun combo Sjaak 👍. And a really great idea too putting them all up on the OP.
Will post some splits tonight.

Lefty is using a 5 speed tranny. You could simply set the top speed way to high for the track so that you top out in 5th gear before the entry to the first corner.
There are ways to set up a trick tranny like that but explaining at the moment I cant do (real tired and would have to try setting one up myself) but maybe Lefty might be willing to share his tranny set up?

@jack5428:
Thanks I'll try Lefty's 5sp tranny trick. I believe he shared it in one of the earlier TT's. I will try to find it.
Hmmmmm! In retrospect, I think it was a 4sp tranny trick.

Try to see how he did it but instead of 4th being the last gear used 5th is. Should work the same principles so if you did the 4th gear thing on your tranny understand how it works you could do it with 5th gear or 6th gear instead.

On this one I am using Jacks setup and had to go up one gear to a 6 speed. The car just doesn't have quite enough torque to accelerate through the turns w/ the taller gears so I had to go w/ the 6 speed. The main reason I do this is to quiet the car down and take it to the point that it just has enough torque to barely break the tires loose thusly taking the acceleration of the car to the edge of stability. Keeping the car calm under acceleration is important to determin how the car is handling so it shows the cars short falls and not something the driver is doing is causing the problem.
I tried a 4 speed but it wasn't quick enough, the 5 speed needed more torque so the 6 speed was the right call and handled short shifting up right before the exit of the turn to show the torque on escape.
Weight Balance 54/46 (Removed the sand bag out of the trunk, Jacks setup was for a pusher)
Trany Trick, then

Fun combo! No tune on yet other than a tweaked LSD. Getting 5 gears out of the stock trans with all the other allowed parts on. Painted mine in "Mandarin" with RP01s in "AMG Monza grau magno". I'll track on a picture with the next update.

Hi all great combo to come back on I just hope I get to give it enough time. Just to clarify can we purchase body parts to change aero? Also do the wheels have to be standard? Thanks
