Hi Praiano
Hope your holiday was very good for you. I just wanted to let you know about the Toyota GT1 tune you did not long ago. First this is my favorite car in the game. I really love the racing cars much more than all others. I have been trying to win the "B" Spec race at Le Mans going on 7 times, I had used even the very fast Sauber C9 (Tuned down to 700pp) without winning that race.
I finally got "my" dream car (Toyota GT1) and right away went to the race. I came in 7 place.
:idea:I then remembered that you had tuned the GT1. So I installed your tune.
I took the car on-line to my lounge and ran Le Mans, and the Ring. This car is even faster than I remember in GT3 and GT4. (Or maybe I am just getting old
) But it is just a joy to drive after your tune.
"This car really shows what the PS3 and GT5 can do as far as reproducing the sensation of speed. If you have never driven this car, get one from the UCD and use this tune.
I thought the Sauber C9 was fast. (And it is) It may be faster than the GT1 at full engine power. But the GT1 gives up very little. It feels like all hell is breaking lose when you press the gas pedal. But its under control.
Just as I thought, the first gear was smooth and did not upset the car in mid turn if I down shifted. This adds control in tight turns. Gives the driver flexibility and is safe especially if you like to gear down to slow down.👍
Excellent turn in and a very balanced feel overall. The speed is just insane so it's a no brainier to dial in full down force. Your suspension settings give firm base, and excellent grip. On the Le Mans course the car simply rules (IMHO) in my humble opinion.
Yes, throttle control is a must with ANY high speed car.
On the ring, the uneven/bumpy nature of the course slightly upsets the cars balance. But again backing off the gas will help keep you on the track. And the rings bumpy surface throws many lesser machines for a loop. Not this one. The GT1 just plows ahead, giving the driver good input about what the tires and suspension are doing, and how to respond.
Your LSD settings have taken some of the drama out of putting your foot down in the GT1. The break settings just haul the machine down without drama and without shredding your tires too much.👍
Between the suspension/gearing and LSD setting you have managed to give this car both grip, and tire ware endurance. I ran two pretty fast laps at the ring and Le Mans (at least for me).
This car gives the driver confidence. Because it has speed and control. You are never out of a race (in my opinion) with this car as you have tuned it. The rear is just loose enough to let you slide it without losing it. You tamed the excessive wheel spin.
I chose to use Racing Medium for my test drives. I almost never use Racing Soft for racing either on or off line. The B-Spec race uses Racing Hard. That said, after two swift laps at the tracks I named, I had a little under half my tire life left on the rears. Trust me, with the power the GT1 has, that is saying a lot.
On my Next try at B-Spec, I placed second using your tune of the GT1. And I know for sure it was due to my "Bob" going off track once at the "Mulsanne" hair pin.
That was on the second lap. After that this car performed flawlessly especially with the rain intermediate tires.👍
All that to say, this is one heck of a tune Praiano. It's a really good car to start with. You have made it even better.
Thank you for making me 6 million credits.
Came up with that name because of the colour. And let me just say, I can't imagine how good it will be without wet weather. But it was good, even in wet weather. Read on and see. 
the car as a very good top speed now, it´s kind of funny because i´m used to change gears when i hear the engine reving high, but in this car u cannot do that, it´s wierd but it work´s!!! Very nice, thank you for the tip!
