My initial impressions while purchasing the car, etc:
Ridox said his favorite LSD tune was a RX7... Or a Civic... RX7... Civic... Don't want a Civic (I know how can they be), and I'm not found of RX7... Let's try the RX7. RX7, well, mkay. RX7. Not really like them.
Damn which RX7 to buy, I don't understand his layout... Ah I see.
*buying*
Funny, he made recommendations for the colour and wheels... He really must like this one... Ok, that a Spirit RX7, let's use the same spirit and colour the same way.
*buying parts*
Damn my car is 403 HP (Eurozone). His is 402... Nevermind. braking... wow extreme settings... LSD ok, extreme as expected as a "dark LSD can be"... Susp : "hahaha this morning I talked about a dark susp Gordini, this is dark dampers settings aswell
". Unbalanced SR. High brakes, no way she can even run. The LSD even @ 58%/100%/100% x so much high setting should make her visit the squirrels in the tree.
Let's run Mount Panorama 500PP in National A for the lulz. What tires is he using ? Ah... This layout... Where are they ? Nevermind, I'll use sports soft, I'm not confident.
*run*
*before first turn* wow, wow, wow. Hold on. *turning* Oh. Easy turn, rigth ? Next turn will be fatal. Hi #9, here I come * inside turn take-on* my, but... It's holding ?
Lap 2, I'm first just in the begining. Great work, good sensations. I should tell. Before this, I should also read the little comments he made.
*after the race* well, what a blast ! Let's read the comments !
*reading* Oh damn. I forgot that. that was a RX7... Well, this setup alone migth make me have to reconsider about the RX7. They are not the drifting-tail happy every single setup I tried were, after all.
What are the tires ? Confort ? Hell, I'm sure I can win with this too. But this can be very easy to tell what the problems are too, he's taking risks.
*running*
*before first turn* wow, wow, wow, hold on. *turning* hi, Chip and Dale, how are you, fine ? Sorry, can't stay. I'll have to be more carefull, the next turn is quite uneasy to take at hi speed. *inside take-on*, well, no, that's ok.
*next turns* well, that's fun !
*next turns* HELL YEAH BABY ! SEE YOU WITH CHIP AND DALE AFTER THE RACE MUAHAHAHA
In definitive, she's smooth and still, you've got the power, she's a well tamed black panther. LSD is almost perfect, even on the bumpy road of Mount Panorama. I recon Mount Panorama was a mean and dirty trap
.
I loved each single piece of this tune.
As a tuner, i'm very impressed. 21/36/36, dark LSD, dark Susp, you're just a mad guy, you know it ?
Despite being a RX7, it made me change my mind about the car. All is very smooth, despite being extreme settings, the 21/36/36 comes back perfectly if it locks, the change of direction after LSD loop#2 is ideal...
I loved your tune man. Now I'm not really an expert at Tsukuba, I'm testing it rigth now on Roma, which is "my" test track and where I will be "reading" the car the best. I don't know if I'll tell you the result, but I'll sure enjoy the ride in your dark spirit RX7
Just a small note, you should improve tire selection and model selection in your layout, I had difficulties to find what you adviced.
-edit- +/- 1:20 on Roma in race condition, for only 2 laps running without opponent being 1st, it's honorable. It's a very easy to forget she wears confort soft
Got the same grip as my Zonda with RH + TCS1, similar sensations. Direction is precise, corner exit oversteer is controlled. Aero is in good balance, quite toward the rear, but in good place. Sometimes I would want +1comp in rear, sometimes not.
Not that good sensation with the first wide hairpin, the trajectory on it is not very good, that's where she need +1 rear comp. But the last wide hairpin is very easy to control, so in the end...
-edit 2- 40 laps later in arcade, it's a quite solid 1'18.299, with in the 1'17 possible with work with a 270km/h gearbox (not optimised but tinier gearboxes are not good in the starting straigthline because you'll accel slow in the end). My S Zero is in the 1'12 but with RH/RH or RS/RS I can't remember, for the same exact pp. Would need to battle both in sport medium, on confort soft it's a sure win for you
I still dislike just a little how she goes in the first wide hairpin, you need to slow down a lot. The last hairpin is a piece of cake, my "time-attack fears" on the track are the exact opposite of my Zonda. All the rest is perfect.
Fav'ed her (slots are very rare, here !)
