Hello I have started racing a series with this car but find it hard to tune and have searched through GTP and have come up with nothing to remedy the situation as far as previous tunes go. Since this car is being used in a series it has to obviously follow strict guidelines and thus certain tunes are far beyond what the car can be set to.

The biggest issue with the car I have is the fact that it has a too much understeer for my liking in a default setting. I like to late brake down into the inside of corners and exit with burst of speed, however it feels like the car pushes me to the high line of the corners and if I force it to the mid line without giving up too much speed. Yet if I give up ample amount of speed the car easily goes into corner but I lose massive time and possible positions. I used a newer setup and lowered the ride height and raised the braking setup, but this had too much oversteer on mid to corner exit and thus the car would tend to feel like it was bottoming out and spin around on me as it entered straights. The other issue is the car feels sluggish to me on corner exit as compared to the NSX or GT-R and doesn’t really seem to build too much speed down the straights when coming up in revs. I wonder if anyone else has the same issue with these SC430s, I am taking into account that I have a more aggressive driving style and like to attack the corners and run the straights as long as possible, braking late into the curves, but it tends to feel impossible with this car.:grumpy:

Could anyone with experience using this car please give some idea on how to smoothen it out
 
Thank you very much raVer, hey I have one question though. Does the game tend to change dynamics of the car when you dramatically change the transmission top speed?
 
@ Raver

Is that tune for the wheel or the sticks? I find it to be a very odd setup for a wheel.
 
As far as I know , this was tuned with a wheel and placed 5th in the WRS , Week 25

The set is sound but not my cup of tea. Plus the the car was tuned to the max then detuned though keeping the high torqe. I rather leave my race cars stock.
 
CSL my savior!!! Uh it is the Petronas and most of the setups on here just dont work
I'll see what I can do for you, I'll try to get something well rounded so it works for the whole series for you.

What? It was engine stage three, and ran that way...
In any case, I wouldn't recommend that tune for online use, ever. As for tracks outside of GVS outside open lobbies or lounges, I've no idea, I would consider it a base tune for other tracks, depending how it worked when I tried it.

I mostly post those tunes for people running the WRS, and possible tunes for other tracks offline. They can also be used as a base tune at other tracks, depending how they work on that track.
