Tried Paulies and Animeras tunes to no avail. Submitted with current splits as I'm out of time this week. Thanks all.
I too tried both tunes this week, and it lead to some interesting results:
I was amazed by the differences first of all. Its obvious both tunes require different driving styles. For me, the speed I could carry through the very first corner with
Animeras tune was astonishing. I knocked a second off of my final lap time right off the bat. However, I couldnt get much more out of it. I found myself losing traction under heavy braking and over the rumble strips. My driving style is quite aggressive and I was getting some horrible all wheel drift through the T1 esses. Losing a lot of time skipping over the motorcycle chicane too. From there on I absolutely loved it though, sweeping through 200R and nailing spoon was a dream. Not to mention the almost flat out 130R!
Paulies tune was next and I initially thought I wouldnt like it. At first I couldnt carry nearly as much speed through curve 1, but the stability under heavy directional change in the esses was wow! Like I say my style is quite aggressive and you really can throw this car around. I could attack the corners like a man possesed, the rumble strips hardly even register! Really like the gear ratios too. Oh, and Paulies tune is responsible for my fastest lap so far. 👍
Really big thankyou to both you guys though, because the experience I'll be taking from this week has been priceless. I still know nothing about tuning, but I could feel the difference in each car, and slowly slowly I've tried to adapt my driving style to them. It lead to me having a revelation on track, and every lap I do sees me dropping tenths like flies. My driving style has been completely re-vamped and, it is SO for the better.
I'm going to have a break now and come back with my 'new style' to BOTH tunes tomorrow for a final push. Maybe this time I'll like Animeras better, I really cant say. What I do know for sure is it'll be a whole lot of fun, so thanks again guys. Really!!
