Racing Hard, super fast consume of fuel and tyres! And no turbo upgrade
I did not include a turbo in my testing. The initial tuning set-up I have was set up for RS tires so now I'll check to see if I have to make changes.

Tuner update:
I've discovered that the MX5 tune has snap oversteer on tracks like Sierra (In particular, going over crests during a corner). Just be warned when you use the car.

This means my next car will be dialed back to make it more stable.
Hint: It's a SEMA winner.

Before I start: This car hates everyone.
Now, the car is a grumpy one...It fries the front tires if you don't brake lightly enough or time the turn right. Even if you get it right, the tire still heats up. Also, prone to snap oversteer and understeer if abused. It isn't the fastest cornering machine but it has a remarkable top speed of 211 MPH in this configuration.

Nissan GT-R LM NISMO '15
What a car, what a car! This bizarre FWD prototype is a serious competitor and it tells you that point blank. On a comparison test on the Nürburgring, it tied Praiano's 2J tune's lap time of 6:01. It's just an absurdly quick ugly car.

Now where do I start? Another exceptional LMP with handling that makes you wish you could actually drive the thing in real life. Tune is a bit twitchy, and will spin out in low traction surfaces. Be warned.

No upgrades needed-Just buy a set of RM and RS tires and you're good. Tune works on all racing tires.

Another update, and three new tunes.

None of those tunes quoted above have made it.

New tunes:

This is one wonky machine. Despite being a Pikes Peak runner, absolutely bizarre looking, and an electric vehicle, this thing is slow as heck around corners. It may not be useful outside of high-downforce, high speed tracks such as Pikes Peak, but in that environment it works great.
Vehicle works on RH, RM and RS tires, although it suffers from loss of grip rather quickly on RH tires.

Suzuki V6 ESCUDO Pikes Peak Special '98
The legend of GT returns! This big, red rocket on wheels has proven itself a great LMP rival on track. The thing is, it's very grumpy and hates sudden weight transfer. Downforce is your best friend here! Also, do not make any reckless moves, especially during heavy breaking. The back will slide out fast.

I should keep at this...Anyways, new one.

Blitz DUNLOP ER34 SKYLINE '07
Another screwball car from the depths of the GT6 car pool. This is a Premium Blitz, and it's also bloody terrible with a turbo. So the solution? Instead of taking it up a peg, I knocked it down a peg. For a D1GP sedan, this ER34 is surprisingly good. I tested it at the Norschleife, Monaco and Midfield. (6:57, 1:38, 1:11 respectively) Expect to see understeer if you floor it mid-turn or try to turn above 150 MPH. Excellent car if you can stand the odd-ball attitude of the car.

Infiniti FX45 Concept '02 - "Acrofatic"
Good god, is this thing agile. So, an SUV. I was just messing around with it and was caught off guard by how quick the thing is in corners - the low curb weight helps! A rough lap at the Nurburgring on the DFGT yielded a 6:45.851. Therefore, I have dubbed it Acrofatic.

Best with RS tires.

Gonna give your FX tune a go when I get a chance to fire up the game. Also gonna try it on the G35 since they share the same platform.
 
I didn't know they were on the same platform!
It's the FM, or front midships platform. The engines were pushed back as far as possible to the firewall and behind the front axle to shift more weight to the middle of the car for better balance. I've also seen it caled the E platform which most Nissan and Infiniti RWD and AWD layouts use. Also, I drive a G35 sedan in the real world. :D
 
Did you want a tune?

@turismoslayer nice! I'll have to look into it - maybe I can get an FX-45 in real life and sleeper it.
Yes.

I would like to have a tune for the Opel Corsa 1.2 Elegance.

I'll get on this around 10 EST. What kind of behavior do you want from the car? Do you want it a full replica, or a different type of set-up?

Also...tires?
Full replica, please.

Tires which were from the real life.
 
I took the FX out today with your tune to the Nurburgring. At first I put down a stock lap to get a feel for the car, which actually felt pretty good and stable. Nothing too fast, 8:25.327. After that I applied the tune but left the stock sport hard tires equipped. Found out quick they were too little tire for that much power so I upped to the sport softs. I think these tires can work well with your set up but I'll give your intended tires a go next time I'm on. Anyway, feedback. Agility was definitely there but for me it felt a bit too stiff and bouncy. Probably better suited on a flatter circuit. The racing brakes at 5 may have been a bit much for the sport softs, but like I said before I'll try with the racing softs as suggested. I'd like this tune to work on sport softs if possible. Other than that, good job.

Edit: I'll let you know an updated lap time when I finally make it round the circuit.

I'll see if I can alter the settings for SS. Try lowering the dampers and ARBs to accomodate the lower grip tires.

Hi... I have a tune request. I am trying to clear the 350PP Mini race at Goodwood. I have tuned the car up to 249.90, but try as I might, I just can't seem to achieve the pace I need to take the event. Can you help?

Thanks in advance.
