Hey,
im not in desperate need of this tune. but it has always been a nice little car to drive. thing is, it spins out of control on the bigger race tracks. got any tunes to share with me?

thx.

Strange but true coincidence:
It happens to be the same car that is all over the leaderboard for the Seasonal 3 Time Trial Madrid.
People don't seem to be at all excited about providing tunes for the Seasonal Time Trials. Or so it appears to me - but I have been wrong before.
If I had one, I would post it, fyi.

Yeah that might be it. Thats too bad though, i don't race in the seasonal races, i just want the car to perform well. Maybe one somebody will post a tune for it. Thanks anyways.

I'll check my settings on Evora when I get back to my PS3, but I did the 90 lap Laguna Seca endurance event and it handled great and finished far ahead of the pack. Good little car with a few tweaks much like it's sibling, Elise.

Update:

Here's my tune, looking at it now I think it can still be better. Haven't touched the car the in a few weeks and I've adapted to the tuning guides much since then, but here's what I used at Laguna Seca endurance. Note, I was trying to keep the power under 300hp with a new engine in configuration for self limitation, but broken in it's 320hp and this car goes much higher I know.

The front/extension wings have a static value that isn't revealed, and front aero value only appears as a grayed out 0, but the rear will be tunable between 0-20 under Body/Aerodynamics of the Tuning menu.

I also went back and fully upgraded the car to 450+ HP. Bumped the LSD up slightly to 15/30/15 but drove pretty well. The handling is a bit harsh for a rough track so one day soon I might sit down and try to rework this setup but the current one is race-able on smoother track surfaces. If you feel so inclined you can play with the shock value because they are far too high, but keep them in a similar ratio, so try 15.3F/17.1R etc.

Edit: I went back and tweaked on the previous setup but it's still a slam, I'll try a normal ride height tune later fresh from defaults. The following on a 486HP/1102KG Evora yielded three consectutive lap times of 1'15" on Deep Forest Raceway for me.
