You want it or you need it
Excellent tune, like always!
But may u explain me, what’s the issue with installing a turbocharger and then restricting the power? I don’t get the clue behind it?
Really, no critism, I just want to learn! Please share your wisdom.
Someone mentioned, it’s a fuel consumption thing!? Or is it a „grip-thing“ for rear stability?
Edit: Just tried both ways. OG Praiano Setting with Turbocharger, after that without turbocharger. Seems like, without Turbo it needs more fuel on fm1, but less on fm6. Otherwise with Turbo, it saves some fuel on fm1, but consumes more on fm6. Both tries one pitstop without changing tires. Both nearly the same overall time of 25:20. First try I wasn’t used to the setting, second try I spun and lost 10 secs. Need to do more „science“.

This. I would add that, for me, staying in a gear higher than the suggested gear, (2nd instead of 1st, 3rd instead of 2nd etc) smashes each race.To all struggling with the gr1 races try the Mazda LM55. I'd tried multiple times using the GR1's listed here but was unable to take the wins. First go on each with the LM55 and bingo. Would have loved to have done it in the Class C's but I unfortunately don't have the speed. Well done to those who do!

Wonderful tune, thanks Praiano!
I can't seem to drive as fast as you guys no matter how much I try. More practice I guess. My best lap with the CLK is in the 1:36's with consistent 1:38's and a two stop race. But I can manage an occasional 1:34 or consistent 1:35's with the GR010 with one stop using a simple detuned setup. I seem to be a little slower in your GR010 tune Praiano, but definitely a much nicer and more stable drive.
Anyway, thanks for the setup!

I did a test on route X for : 10 km test with the CLK 800PP , gas set at 5 , full power .Excellent tune, like always!

No turbo = 570 HP - 379 ft/lb time for 10 km 2:05 tank 77% left
Turbo Low= 622 HP - 388 ft/lb time for 10 km 2:00 tank 73% left
Turbo Medium = 634 HP - 392 ft/lb time for 10 km 1:57 tank 70% left
For the Sardinia race have only 1 very short pit stop , for all of 3 options you'll have to stop anyway , so the powerfull option turbo medium is the best choice.
For longer race with more stop , on a circuit for Le Mans for example , that have a long duration stop , perhaps the others 2 options would be better. Only test for any race will show it.

That actually not unrealistic for this car Mark Webber did make it fly and crashed at Le Mans beforeHi Praiano! You’re CLK makes me fly!

A much better race setup than my bodge. The suspension makes a huge difference over race distance. With yours you are still able to take the last corner flat with confidence even on the last lap without a tyre change.
I take back what I said about the turbos - I think I must have confused the torque curve of a class c car with a low RPM turbo, as both the low and the med turbo have pretty smooth delivery. I think I prefer the low RPM turbo and managed to compete the race in 24:28 on a 1 stop strategy. My best lap was 1.35.120.
Was your 1.33 in time trial without the weight of fuel? I can't see where I can gain much more time under the race conditions. Not that much time anyway!
Thanks as always for sharing.

Mercedes Benz 300SL coupé '54 - 600PP - Sport Hard Tires - All tracks/Nordschleife -1.25
Wide car.
Rims up to you
Rims width wide
Ofsett Wide.
Rear wing custom (yes it' not nice i agree , but the car a lot more better with it.)
Not enough power for a Tokyo event tune , but perfect for technical track even on Nordschleife , laping 7:13 in my hands.
Enjoy your drive.

I'm talking about the event gas consumption setting at 5 . Not the car . For the car it was at 1. Anyway , this was just show the performance of any configuration. For a given track , consumption , pit stop time , any event have to be analysed.
For the Sardina event , for this car , i think the + power is the best.

I foresee a big purchase for me coming this week..
The BMW Mclaren F1 should be there this week.
Is it a good car? I definitely want one of the F1 Mclarens but not sure which one and a tune from MY MAN is a must.
I also know he just bought a big silver speed boat made by Mercedes so he's probably broke like me and can't afford both.

Well I've more than recouped my investment in the CLK 😁🤗
He actually has a tune for it already!

I personally love the car. One of my favorite cars in the game. Definitely not one of the best. But I love driving it and that's all you can ask for.

Mazda LM55 VGT (Gr1) - 950PP - Racing Hard Tires - Suzuka
The faster Gr1 car for 950PP Race on Suzuka. It could even be faster , only 1 race to test after setting the car. I've take a 0,500 penal , 3 mistakes .... It could be a 24:11 i think.
1 stop and no need to change tires.
Gearbox is original.

Enjoy your drive.

I believe it was a free in game gift if you have some sort of Hagerty's Driver's club subscription.
