Strange, the only real differences between this one and a previous one I had tested were ride height and downforce. This one allowed for full ECU and it went from 3 comfortable laps at FM6 (ECU at 84) to barely 2 laps at FM4. I will have to do some more testing as the difference seems excessive to me.
Apparently I spoke too soon earlier when praising the rear-end control on the SLS. Both of these tunes were phenomenal in that regard as well.
A really pleasant improvement for MR cars! Took my fave 458 GT3 out for a spin and noticed a marked improvement in corner exit handling, even on the tricky hairpins that had the rear spin out of control so easily prior to 1.20. Put a smile back on my face. Cant wait to try all the other MR's I've been avoiding because of the poor handling!
I feel like we’ve all been sharing our favorite @praiano63 stories. I hope, if nothing else, you feel the love.

It has sounded a little like a funeral....I only hope he sticks around a little longer for the applause and donations....
This update seems to have gone down well with the Master. Was concerned, with his recent posts prior to the update, 1.20 physics /pp changes may have been the straw that broke the camels back, but @praiano63 seems extremely positive so far, so hopefully he's won't leave us for the foreseeable!
As I'm clueless with tuning, half the cars would be useless to me, so I'm very greatful for him being here, as most cars I use now are running his tunes.

Well, I don't want to burst your bubble but; I ran the WTC700 today with the 73 Bimmer CSL running race hards. After just 3 laps on FM 6, my tire wear indicators showed 50%RED on the rears!?!?! That's the bad news, the good news is that there was no loss of traction. I ran one more lap with those same tires with no adverse effects.
I rolled into the pits with about 33% remaining on the left rear. Pre update 1.20, the car would have been unmanageable with so little tread remaining. So, MAYBE, PD got something right, for once. In my mind, when the red takes over the whole indicator, you are down to the cords of the tire carcass, but you should be able to run very close to the bottom of the bar with little or no traction loss.
On another topic, running my eye down my car list, I noticed that every car that was tuned to 600 or 700 or 800PP is now over the limit by up to 22PP units!?!? But mostly around 10 to 15 units! That is a lot of work staring me in the face for every car, not to mention loss of Horsepower. It will be interesting to find out if the AI cars are affected equally. Hopefully they will be reduced also.
OK, thats it from me, I spent the evening roaming around Europe, Blowing the doors off all these fancy hatchbacks with my rusty VW Sambabus with a Porsche engine.! HA! Comes in at just under 500PP.
Cheers, Pete

I cannot understand your question. You need to pay attention in your English class so you can build a sentence we can understand. None of our cars have a glitch. The meaning of the word GLITCH is following: Gremlins Lurking In The Computer. There was a GLITCH in the game, that allowed some of us to go through a procedure that produced a 4 star roulette card, which gave us a chance to win a random engine, again and again. And some of us did. I do not think this update has confiscated any engines that were acquired from this procedure. The GLITCH in the game was eliminated by update 1.19. Hope this helps.

I am sorry if I am sharing draft setting files/asking you a favor here.
Now MP4/4 '88 has arrived at GT7 and I made several change for make the car faster and more stable within a limit of below 900PP. For the reference, using this draft setting gives me 1'51.xxx at the Suzuka Circuit, but there should be the way to make it more performant. Please check my files and give me a comment for an improvement. Thank you from Tokyo, Fluffy
P.S. Sorry, my language of GT7 is in Japanese, but I hope you can guess what is what.

Murciélago was not a Miura. Originally he was bred by the Perez de Laborda family, in Navarra and bought by the Miura family for breeding purposes in 1879. According to a legend, Murciélago killed Lagartijo but what happened is that Lagartijo was amazed by the bravery, stamina and nobleness of the bull and pleaded no to kill him after 24 hits from the "picwdores" (those guys riding a horse with a kind of lancet) Lagartijo (aka Gran Califa) died in 1900 of cancer.
Islero was a Miura that became famous for killing another legendary "torero", Manolete, in 1947.
Sorry if some of the technical details are inaccurate but I am not specially interested in bull fighting and in my region is not as popular as it is in southern Spain.

Sorry what I meant was that he came from the Miura ranch not that he was a Miura(breed) as Miura is not one of the original 7 castas de lidia; These are Navarra, Cabrera, Gallardo, Vazqueña, Jijona, Morucho-Castellano and Vistahermosa. Murciélago was casta Navarra. I believe it was later that they were granted denomination of origin "Miura" after much success from the ranch. The encaste is even credited as being descendant from casta Cabrera which is what the Miura's orignally bred.

Oh, I misunderstood your previous message. Thanks for sharing this info.
After a quick search I found that the Cabrera ranch was sold to Juan Miura in 1859, so you were right. His son Antonio bought Murciélago and used him as a stallion bull, but prior to having Murciélago, there were crossings with bulls from castas Gallardo and Vistahermosa, though the predominant was Cabrera.

@praiano63 Do you think you will make a tune for the regular mclaren f1 '94? I think it can be one of the fastest 700pp cars at Le Mans. I do love the car at that track, but I'm terrible at tuning and can't properly figure out how to make the car fast and last 3 laps with fuel (fuel map 6). Thanks in advance, love ur tunes!
Maestro Praiano63:
I am a huge fan of the Alpine A220, and your tune is great. I was curious what settings you would tweak if I wanted to use racing hards instead and keep it at 700pp? I have a self made tune I am using for the LeMans race right now, but I am sure you would have some useful insight. The car seems improved since the physics update, which is nice.

I have a 700PP race tires already .Le Mans don't need almost downforce perhaps you can low it in this case.

I'm back in the game slowly , bad flu ...... I'm in love with the new LSD physics , tire's model also are great , it seems the lost and recovering of the grip is smoother than before , great feeling . I did some races on SPA with GR3 Honda NSX and Audi , MR are back definitively , It's perfect.
They did a great update in my opinion , but the best accomplishment from PD is that they didn't mess with the overall balance of the cars. Only adding stability and smooth transition.
I love the way the tires waste staying with a same grip. The last model was really annoying.
I'm in love so far , congrats to Polyphony Digital for this.

Lobby rooms are still a mess , horrible , 1.20 didn't benefit anything for this.
I saw some others games that can play easy without any problem. Like ACC or F1 2022 that can join all kind of players togother in the same room , Steam x Xbox x PS5 .... Proof that it can be done without problem. But PD don't matter about this.

Further to this above, tonight I raced the WTC700 at le Sarthe, and used Race Mediums, running the Alpine A220. I had to refuel after lap 2 cause I left the FM at 1 for too long. My rear tire wear indicators were at about 50% red at that point. I decided to just leave the tires on as there were no rain clouds on the radar, and I figured I would wear them right down to the cords and see where on the indicator, the traction would start to decrease. So I just refuelled and kept on a goin'. I got just a touch of rain on lap 5 but not enough to show above the first mark on the rain gauge. I ran the rest of the race from the one pit stop, on FM6, and had enough fuel to crank it up to FM1 for the 7th lap. When I got almost through the last little jog just before the finish line I floored it, and sure enough I spun out! The left rear tire indicator was only showing a sliver of white remaining, so now you know, you can run'em right down before pitting for tires.
I had absolutely no other loss of traction, even though the esses before the finish at 100mph to 109 mph.
Onto another topic, about the A.I. performance post 1.20. After my 3 races this afternoon and evening, I took the opportunity to jump into the cars of the A.I.leaders we all know and love, namely Portilla and McEwen in Gr.4 Viper, and C7 Corvette. I watched these guys during the replays and noticed that their normal speeds are DOWN! Like 5 or 6 mph less on the longest straight than usual. Portilla only saw 160 mph once on each lap, and the same with McEwen, he only saw 260 kph a couple of times per lap and just for a moment before slowing for chicanes. I also followed Portilla for a while during one race and he never cracked 160 mph either in real time. Also, their acceleration seems much slower than usual. Those guys are just hitting their max speed just before braking for the chicanes. Meanwhile back in the A220, I'm accelerating normally and hitting close to 200 mph.
Anyway, I won that last race on ONE set of Race Mediums by about 1:35 for Portilla and lapped around 4 guys. I refuelled at the end of lap 2 and still had fuel at the end of lap 7. Love that little car!
That's my addition to the general knowledge of the group, the Praiano Fan Club that hangs out here. All cars driven performed flawlessly, thank you very much Praiano for the wonderful tunes!
The other cars I ran earlier were the Cleveland powered (wide) Pantera, and the Lambo Diablo. I had no issues with having to reduce power for the PP limit which was a relief, and I seemed to gain a few HP in one case. I had to change to rain Intermediates on lap 2 so tires and fuel were plentiful.
Cheers, Pete
P.S. Sir Praiano, hope you are feeling better soon.

maestro, will you do some setup for the ford gt40 and / or Senna's iconic mclaren?
