depending on the what you are useing to drive or DS3 controller or wheel and driving style, I use the DS3 and yours settings for me was a bit too much oversteer.
I was shooting for oversteer, but thanks for letting me know. I should spend a bit more time on my set-ups first.
 
Caterham Seven Fireblade '02
"Eugh, that car is horrible." I thought initially. Turns out the Caterham is just a situational car that benefits from its remarkable curb weight of 364 KG...Still useless on long courses.

The tune:
630 PP, 261 HP, 364 KG

Best of all upgrades, supercharger instead of turbo.

Suspension:
Ride Height: 60/60
Spring Rate: 4.30/1.90
Compression: 4/4
Extension: 4/4
Anti-Roll Bars: 4/4
Camber: 0/0
Toe: 0.00/0.30
Brakes: 10/10

Transmission:
Adjust Max Speed (auto set) as needed for track. Start at 217 MPH.

Drivetrain:
Initial: 5
Accel: 10
Brake: 10

Power:
Limiter at 97.2

These must be some terrible cars, I can't find any tunes for them... Nissan spec-R AERO (S15) Touring Car '02. RH, 500-550 PP, please. And the TVR Tuscan Speed 6 Touring Car '00. RH, 600-ish PP.

These are for the GT race series in the cars respective classes. Thanks!

I'll do both tunes at exactly 550 and 600 respectively so you can adjust them from there.

I'll make sure they don't end up like the car in your avatar :P

Not bad at all!! I tuned the Silvia to 507PP, more than enough to ace Deep Forest in the SGT300 series. Very complaint, very forgiving, good brakes.... Doesn't sound like much, but that's hardly your fault.

Next, I took the TVR to Grand Valley in the 600PP WTCC. Easy win by a half-second over the McLaren F1. Pushed a bit at the limit, brakes not as good, but I do like it! I can probably tweak the understeer, I tend to be more aggressive with the camber and toe. It seems to suit me, and I don't have a wheel.

Thanks again, very fine work in short order!! 👍👍

Thank you for doing some touring cars! I enjoy them quite a bit. I've added them to the Tune Directory.

Cheers
 
Also, your other tunes are in the Directory too. I didn't want you to think I only add ones I like hahaha. Keep it up man.

Thank you! I'm not the best tuner, but I try!
 
I need to remind myself to update the first post with links...

1937 Audi Auto Union V16 Type C Streamliner
"What are you thinking?! This car is 🤬 awful!" some of you are probably saying or thinking.
Yes, it's awful at complex circuits.
This machine is amazing when you use it for its original purpose: Pure speed on long ovals.

As such, this tune is intended only for Special Stage Route X races, and actually holds its own quite well against GTR Nismos and TZ3s despite being 78 years old and being built near the beginning of the dawn of cars and motorsports.
This tune has a no-draft top speed of 291 MPH and a full-draft top speed of 316 MPH. It suffers from turbo lag so get in the draft early! Also, ease the car into the turns, as it is still grumpy if you break the 2G limit the car seems to have.

Best used in SSRX races with no Nitrous allowed.

I'm glad I got the notice about the "bump" to your thread, it reminded me to try your tune for the Caterham 7, I was messing around with it (self-tuning) on that long track in Spain... I haven't done it in a while, but it's a time trial with a PP cap of 500 or 550 with SH or CS tires, I think... Anyway, I agree that the supercharger is a great upgrade for the low end torque helping acceleration to the 145-ish top speed.

I might try the Diablo GT2, too. I was able to win with it, but it's definitely an evil, twitchy witch! :D

I actually forgot I did the GT2! I need to tune more cars then.
 
I updated the OP with more links to my tunes. I might have another tune or two coming out today, but I need to check my garage.

Is it possible to do a tune for the Honda Mugen Motul Civic Si '87?
Many thanks!
I've had my eye on that one for a while. I've got an incredibly busy week at college this week, so I'll probably only be able to start on the car this Friday.
 
Honda MUGEN MOTUL CIVIC Si '87
Ok, I got surprised by this car. Like, I found a good set-up for it in five minutes. It"s absurdly easy to drive and is pretty dang responsive for a car that's almost 60/40 in distribution. Note: For some reason the front tires heat up absurdly quick if you brake too harshly. Treat the car with respect under braking...Note for @XS that this car is tuned on RS tires.

Thanks for the response! Fell in love with the car first time I drove it. Yes the tune is a little unstable during braking but otherwise pretty agile handling, easy win with 453pp at the 500pp intermediate racecar seasonal @ matterhorn.

Sidenote: This is the only car I've noticed that has the Japanese name of the tuner MUGEN painted right where the grille is; in case you didn't know, the Japanese/Chinese word Mugen literally means "limitless". The same characters are shown on the brand logo section of the Mugen dealership.

If you wanna do more requests, how about these (premium cars I haven't yet found a tune for):
VW Golf IV GTI Touring Car '01 --> 450 or 500pp RH tires
Nissan Fairlady Z 300ZX TwinTurbo 2seater (Z32) '89 --> 500pp SS or RH tires (not too impressed with stock handling, anyway I'm just looking for an excuse to collect premium cars now)
 
VW Golf IV GTI Touring Car '01 --> 450 or 500pp RH tires
Nissan Fairlady Z 300ZX TwinTurbo 2seater (Z32) '89 --> 500pp SS or RH tires
You've come to the right place!
Although that'll have to wait...I have finals week coming up.

I'm still working on these cars right now. The 300 is proving to be a bit grumpy, even with a flat floor. The VW needs to have the understeer beaten out of it, but I should have both cars ready in the next 3 days.

These two cars proved a tad more difficult than I'm used to but I got them drive-able.

"Obelisk, what are you thinking?! Four tunes in one day? You're crazy and bla bla bla..."
I can post as many tunes as I want in a day...Unless there's a post rule I missed in the AUP.

This is another double-tune post. All tunes will be marked in the first post.

Mercedes-Benz AMG VGT Racing Series
This VGT is surprisingly decent, but it's overshadowed by its road-going cousin because of the latter's top speed ability. The AMG VGT RS is stable as heck and loves the track. Be warned, it does suffer a little in the top speed department.

This is OB's brand new 500pp runner. His is painted Weinrot.
For a tiny two seater with thin tires, this thing grips remarkably well. The easter egg stripe and aero parts justify this being a HD Standard...Anyways, it holds on so well and it's easy to drive.
