Has anyone got a good tune for this one? For me, it has way too much oversteer. I couldnt find a good tune for a car to save my life. Any help would be appreciated.

I can work on one tonight and have it for you/us either late tonight or by tomorrow for sure. Just give me some time.
That car just has a ton of power. You really have to watch the accelerator. I'll do my best with it and get back with you.
cheers

i would love a tune for this car as well.. once the turbo spools up the torque is just too much for such a light car, aside from that issue, its a great car
Okay, here's a tune that in all honesty does improve the handling of this car under throttle... to a degree. Some things in this tune are going to look a bit radical, however I have some points to bring up in my defense.
First off, there is no miracle tune that is going to change what this car is, a 922hp beast that only weighs 930kg. Having said that, I think that PD's rendering of this car is not entirely true to its real world physics, that's just my opinion. And the point here is that this is a car that will always demand your respect. The 908 is not a car that you will ever be driving using the throttle like an on/off switch. While this tune does improve the stability of the car under throttle, it can still get away from you very easily if you don't respect it. I tuned this with no TCS, and for anyone who's not like myself and bent on only using ABS=1, I suggest you turn it TCS on, at least to 1.
Back to the tune - I did some things to this car that I haven't done to any others in such a degree before, but like I said this car is something else. And in my defense regarding the toe settings you will see here, the reason they are set that way is because I just tuned the Ferrari F10 '10 car with successful results, and that car comes stock with a -0.50/+0.50 toe setting. It makes sense, because that car is even lighter, and still running over 710hp, so that was the idea behind this tune, and I believe it was to a degree of success.
Aero: 60/85
Trans: 242/249 (try both)
LSD: 19/52/15
Height: -22/-22
Springs: 10.3/10.7
Ext: 7/9
Com: 6/9
Roll: 5/5
Cam: -3.0/0.0
Toe: -0.20/0.66
Brakes: 8/5
I tuned this car at Nürburgring GP/D, which has plenty of opportunities for you to push the throttle too hard and hit an instant donut. My fastest lap was 1:17:525 with room for improvement. You really have to watch your braking with this car, because for whatever reason this is now the 2nd car in a row that I've tuned which weighs under 1000kg, and yet still has problems with efficient braking distances. You would think a brake balance of 8/5 would be sufficient, but I really had to watch my braking points before hitting corners with this setup.
Try the tune and see what you think. I promise no miracles, but hopefully this can help to make the car a bit more manageable under throttle. Again, it's still the same monster under the hood, so make sure you still keep the throttle tamed, and hopefully you'll see some improvement.

I found your tune and decided to use it on my twitch-o-matic 512BB '76. Admittedly its less powerful, lacks aero aids, and a few hundred kilos heavier than the 908, but the principle's the same (too much oversteer). These settings have made it a lot more controllable, and whilst the tail end still bites, it's easier to correct/drift. I'm still being a bit of a coward and keeping the ASM on (its the only car I leave it on for)
Lowest front ride height and highest rear ride height will also help a great deal I've just found out. So if it went to 20 or so the ride height could be -20F/+20R. That helps with a lot of the oversteer online.
I'm actually working on a lot of new "online" tunes that I will be posting, and from now on I will be setting up all of my tunes in online lobbies. Anything I've found that works for online physics is more than capable of handling the physics in A-Spec races. Online is also where I see the future of this game really moving anyway. That's definitely already the case for myself. A-Spec and B-Spec are just money-making events for me anymore, and occasionally replayed just for some of the races.

Ok, I started with your tune and changed two things and went into the Dream Car Championship without having actually tried it. I won them all, the last the Neurenburg was tough I won only by 8 sec. Here are my results: Indy 46.3 average laps, speed set to 255 actually did about 222 on straights and 202 on corners. Monza I won by 24 seconds, went into the sand a few times having never driven the car before. Tokyo my best time was 1:31 about 217 on the straight. Circ de l'Sarthe or whatevery it is, in the rain. Turned my traction from 1 to 5 and ASM on which is usually off. Must have been the right choice I won by nearly 2 minutes average lap about 3:59. I changed the downforce to 54 and 59 for all the races.

Used this tune for b-spec Le Mans 24 h. Won comfortably without babysitting, 13 laps ahead of second place.
Thanks. 👍

This tune helped me to a 5:53.985 on the Nordschleife which is a PB so I'm happy with it. Funny thing is though that it's much faster than stock on the first half of the lap but not so much so on the second. This is with stock power as I've not upgraded the turbo yet so clearly it'll go faster, just not sure I can hold onto it though, lol. Thanks very much for taking the time to do this.

Finally! Pacing for 1st in GT All-Stars. Thanks for the tune...no problems once my B-Spec driver gets around the Bentley Speed 8.

Most LMP1 cars including the 908 HDi come with Traction Control (driver adjustable). At La Sarthe, most drivers would turn the TCS on on most slow corners- the two chicanes on the Mulsane, the last turn on the Mulsane and possibly Arnage and the Porsche Curves.
Even with minimal tweaking mostly to the suspension to the original setting and leaving the LSD almost as is, I find the 908 highly drivable. At La Sarthe using Racing Hard with the ABS off (the brake bias/sensitivity set to 4(F):2(R)), I've managed time in the high 3:30. The Porsche Curves are a bit hairy with the hard compound but altogether manageable with careful throttle and braking. Having no ABS and the low sensitivity require that I get the braking point right but that's how it should be.
The general feel of the car is quite fantastic- very much what I expect an LMP1 to feel like: powerful and quick acceleration with plenty of downforce. With the FFB on my G25 set to 10, I'm getting a good feel of the chassis, the road and the pronounced weight shift while cornering.

The car doesnt have oversteer. No one else notice this car has over 1100lb ft of torque at about 3000rpms? Mine does 3rd gear burnouts.
