@SuperSic58, I had a little play about on the ring with the Elise and made a couple of changes which helped me a bit.

Add 26kg Ballast at -50, this allows you to use more power too.

Change LSD initial torque to 15. If too much understeer reduce this by 1 at a time until happy.

Spring rates: 6.97/ 9.23 If too much oversteer try 6.97/ 8.69.

Toe: -0.06/0.04

Brakes: 10/3 (Thanks @romynovanda, works here too;))

Final gear 3.200

Got me round in under 7 mins and I suck on the Nordscleife.

Am gonna put this advice into use, it's the last car to end my 500PP comparison, and I got a feeling that it's a car that drives a top 5 time so I can't let it go until I get a wicked lap in!

I forgot to mention...reduce both roll bars by 1 too.

I'm looking forward to seeing your list, should make for some interesting reading.

Good luck!

Tuned by request for: @Ole

Specifications:
Performance Points: 598pp
Max. power: 534 BHP
Weight:1100 Kg
Weight Distribution: 50:50
Drivetrain:FR
Tyres: Racing Hard

I know the request was for 600pp, but sorry 598 will have to do. I had a little play around with the turbos to get to 600pp but had to limit the power way too much to achieve it so I settled with an oil change, 100% power and got about 20-25 more BHP doing it this way. The car was tuned with low downforce(250/350) to allow for any extra which is required by the user to be added, and also tuned it exclusively on hard tyres, (I don't even know if it works on the soft ones.) so this will be good for some of those career races too. I do hope you like the car.

This tune is also good for the Nissan Z GT500 Base Model. I will be doing a separate tune for that car and will focus more on the shorter (point and squirt) tracks so these two tunes should be interchangeable and cover a good amount of the circuits in the game.

Have fun and enjoy your drive!

Yay!, I've been looking forward to this one, any more new tunes today?

Hey there! Hope you like it. I'm finishing up the Z Base Model just now, more or less the same car but a few small tweaks to suit different tracks then I'm going to have a look at the 03 XAZAVI for 650pp and the Audi Auto Union as well. I hope to add a few more but we'll have to see how I do for time. There's loads in the works, we've got a list of requests we're trying to get through and a few more for our own amusement too. Hopefully we can find some more time to get on with them, it's been quite hard in the past few weeks.

Based around the XANAVI NISMO tune this car was adapted for use at the shorter tracks and has the transmission set for Motegi. Very similar but a bit easier to rotate in the slower corners. Both these tunes work on both cars and work pretty well too on the Racing Soft tyre.

Have fun and enjoy your drive!

I don't think to much needs to be said about this car, 204 Mph and some pretty decent cornering ability too. Another 650pp racing machine released from it's cage, down here under the mountain. Built for one purpose only....to get on to that top step!

Thankyou for this thorin, when I raced against this car online it literally destroyed me and now I can do the same to others. I will be tuning this tonight!

This car was tuned at Special Stage Route 5 and has the transmission set accordingly. Not the greatest car in the world and not the quickest off the line but put together a lap and the lap-time may just surprise you.

Just had a little go with this and it's a really fun car, not the fastest but fun.

I went on to apricot hill and thought why not give it a go with full power and a high range turbo for a laugh. It turned out to put a massive smile on my face. You have to try it!

Sounds like fun. iI think I may just have to have a shot of that.

An old, old favourite from GT. This was one of the first cars I ever used back in arcade mode all those years ago. But In recent years I have left her collecting dust in the deep recesses of the garage, so I decided to dig her out and give her a new paint job and a new set of shoes. Now she's ready to dance.

Have fun and enjoy your drive!

for me its perfect. 👍
Fast ,balance, predictable

Not quite a 500pp car but you won't notice the difference. The Dino is an awesome little car, I have been beaten a few times around the 500pp mark by this car whilst I have been using some of my S2000s, which I think are my favourite cars to use in this range. So I decided to see why everyone uses this car so much. Now I know!💡


Have fun and enjoy your drive!

What to say... Great tune, 506pp vs others with 517pp, still owns everyone, good job:bowdown:

Hope to see soon a C8 Laviolette for the 550pp range 👍

Nice result, especially with the Focus RS in there! Thanks for sharing that and for your kind words:cheers:

I have had a little play with the C8 but I rarely use it. I have a request to do one already so it shouldn't be too far away.

That's not good. I hate it when that happens!

Have fun when you get on it's a bit on the quick side everywhere I've tried it so far, but you know for sure I've not been round there yet:P

Be sure to let me know how it gets on.

How's your latest batch of test runs going? I was quite surprised by some of the 500pp cars for sure. Some, very pleasantly indeed. I had no idea the Prowler would do so well round there, but it is a great car, often underestimated or plain over-looked.

With the Academy, the Mitsu vision and the Senna memorial content I had no time to test so far, I made an update with the 450pp class and a teaser for the 550 class that I will be working on the coming weeks.

Hey, that's fair enough. There has been a lot more to do recently, that's why the tunes have slowed down a bit too. I've still got most of them to do too. The Senna tribute events are great fun, just the Lotus to go for now. Can't wait to take that thing to Monte Carlo:D

I've not seen the 450 one. Have to have a look.
