So, I've tried the only tune on the web for the Tempest (https://www.gtplanet.net/forum/showthread.php?t=163990) but it wasn't quite doing it for me, in fact it was really terrible at least for what I was doing. It was my highest HP car (727) for the Historic Racing Car Cup.

So I tuned it running practice at the Deep Forest Raceway, best time was 1:22.691 but I could easily do better if I tried to do it perfect. I'm not sure how else I can improve it, but I still only got 7th in the race x) I think I'll save up for the Ferrari 330 P4 Race Car '67.

Love the Tune settings mate, though i have played with the gear ratios and found it to be quite pleasing :) Result for my very first lap in the GTO resulted in a time on 1:20.004, i think i could squeeze a little more out of it but im happy with it. Let me know if you want the improved gear ratios :D
