@Ridox2JZGTECongratulations on this little beauty becoming another Tune Of The Week for you 👍
Congrats @Ridox2JZGTE for your Ralliart tune!
Now digging through net for more info about G29, after changing my pants.. Trusting Logitech isn't bad thing, that monster looks exactly my wheel... Waiting.. Hoping.. Praying.. Please be true and Logitech do that.
Yes, I read about it too.
Is this for the fan club?Thanks again guys Did anyone read my report on my test laps at Monza for the next event Diablo SVR ? Hope it will be useful for getting to know the track well.

Notes :
This is the replica of RALLIART / Test & Service Mitsubishi Lancer Evo X as it appear on Best Motoring in 2009/2010. The car in early appearance has stock power at 300PS and then have RALLIART engine upgrade to 330PS.
I used Car & Driver weight test on Evo X GSR at 1614kg, this is the middle value as some Evo X are weighted at 1650+kg and some at 1580+kg ( HKS Test Car ). Weight distribution range from 56.5/43.5 ( probably with premium audio ) to 59/41 ( light modified with lighter exhaust, no rear seat, no sub/audio, lighter wheel and coilover ). I used 58/42 from the Car & Driver test GSR with 1614kg. The 58/42 also very close to HKS test car.
The RALLIART Evo X with 330PS has 7500rpm revlimit, so I have installed some rpm limit increase power part to reflect this. The stock 300PS has stock revlimit and no power part.
The suspension uses RALLIART Sports height adjustable coilover with special track spec stiff springs supplied by Eibach ( Eibach also used by FQ series but with already available Pro kit series which have much lower rate/softer ). Bilstein damper completes the package. The rates are high/stiff, tailored for smooth track surface, but still works on bumpier tracks. Front spring 10.72kg/mm and rear 8.04kg/mm with -40mm height drop from stock. The Evo X OEM alignment is used on the replica.
For transmission, 5 speed MT ratio is used, as it was in Japan. Gear ratio has been set accordingly, with 6th set to be obsolete. LSD uses RALLIART spec Super Traction LSD with high cam angle 2 way rear and 1.5 way medium cam angle front. I have also provided the RALLIART ACD/S-AYC tune for those who wanted to keep using the S-AYC 2 options, standard at 53 and aggressive at 70. The Super Traction LSD were optional part from RALLIART. The twin plate clutch also has been used to reflect the RALLIART Super Direct Twin Plate on the 5 MT. The 6 speed SST already used twin plate clutch from factory.
The base RALLIART with 300PS did 1:06.676 at Tsukuba in Best Motoring Time Attack ( can be done with CS ), while 330PS in 2010 300+PS EURO vs JDM session time attack managed 1:03.896 ( SH in GT6 )
UPDATE : Added 2 separate transmission setup for stock power and 325HP power.
Is this for the fan club?
Can you post a link to the report?
I did. 👍
Tune of the week. Congratulations
I really enjoyed getting to know this last weekend. Another superb addition to your garage and another job very, very well done 👍

Congratulations on "Tune Of The Week" mate. Well deserved too 👍
I only had time to drive the car properly last night & it's a great car to drive. I built both versions & i think i just prefer the higher BHP tune. I'm hoping to get some time this evening to build the Veyron & will let you know how it drives when i've finished testing

Notes :
Bugatti Veyron, the sign of wealth, pride and power of it's owner. This replica is the closes rendition that I could achieve in GT6. With power and weight based on several test report/article from Car & Driver.
The weight/distribution is based on 2008 Car & Driver Veyron test, while power are available in 2 option. The official power at 1001PS and the claimed actual engine power as stated by the Bugatti Technical Director with power ranging from 1020-1040PS from factory. I used the upper ceiling limit of 1040PS.
Veyron is heavy and powerful, thus the suspension is the weakest link if not tuned properly. I couldn't not find exact specs of the springs other than the brand, so I have to make do with turning it myself. I settled for conservative value to reflect the real car set for comfort/luxury and still able to perform like a supercar should. There are 3 different modes in the real car, each have different ride height and damper profile to suit their purpose. Normal mode for normal city driving with soft damper setup, Handling mode for sports driving at the track or street with stiffer damper and Top Speed mode for the sole purpose of top speed run, lowest ride height, damper set to similar to handling mode.
Gear ratio has been fixed this time as GT6 is totally wrong with the final gear and top speed at revlimit. So I adapted 2 final drive this time, the base is based on calculated top speed at revlimit reflecting the real life car test result. While the other final is the actual final drive value when calculated based on final drive and transfer gear ratio, or I will simply call it the effective final drive of the real car. Strangely the actual final is a bit off in GT6 when driven, a bit too short. The benchmark of the real car is 242mph at 6th on revlimit ( 6600RPM ) and 253mph at 6250RPM in 7th / top gear. It's your choice to be accurate to real life speed limit, stick to 2.484 final or be accurate to the real car final, 2.584. Not much difference in performance, but I highly recommend the base final 2.484.
For LSD, the real car has front open diff arrangement and rear with active LSD. I set the replica in similar way, I tuned the rear LSD to give the rear more active role in rotation while still giving optimum traction. The Veyron can be driven to induce mild progressive oversteer by feeding the throttle harder as you exit, similar to the way it behave in real.
The Veyron was tested at Tsukuba and Bathurst. When driven at Tsukuba, the Veyron with official power at 1001PS and Handling mode, CS tire, capable of 59.6s lap Replay has been included for reference or ghost.
Tune of the Week, congrats!👍 How many of those do you have up on the shelves now?
Thankyou for posting the notes. I love reading how you arrive at the posted settings.Notes has bee added.
Thankyou for posting the notes. I love reading how you arrive at the posted settings.
When you were doing research on the Veyron, did you find enough information available to replicate the SuperSport?
A bit short you say I reckon the notes are pretty comprehensive but feel free to add as much detail as you like. I won't complain 👍The notes for the Veyron is still a bit short as I left out the explanation about how the rear active aero and ride height changes for different situation, but it covers the most basic stuff on how I tune the car. For SuperSport, I did have some info like power and weight as well as changes like stiffer spring rate, but I haven't actually implemented the changes into the car. I will do the SuperSport
A bit short you say I reckon the notes are pretty comprehensive but feel free to add as much detail as you like. I won't complain 👍
As for the SuperSport, I look forward to building that.
I can imagine a typical Monaco poser, trying to impress a new potential girlfriend, cruising around telling her how he has more power than that, is faster than that, accelerates better than that etc... And then a SuperSport pulls up beside him at the next red light
Congrats on Tune of the Week!! 👍 👍 I built the Camaro, but couldn't make the races Saturday.
I took it to the Motegi Speedway to test it out and Wow!!! I was doing 39 secs laps, but it could be faster than that.
All your tunes are Great and The Fan Club is a lot of Fun Too!!! Thanks Again

Well, it's been quite a while since I've provided any type of feedback here at the Garage, so I thought I might as well say some things about the Bugatti Veyron.
Where to begin? Hmmm...We all know this is a big, heavy car. Therefore, it needs to be driven with patience and focus. I'll admit I just experienced a lot of difficulty with this car, but I'm positive that it was all due to driver error. I'm over driving the car. My first stop was La Sierra. That track is perfect for testing new cars, in my opinion, because it's length allows me to test just about every aspect of a car, usually multiple times in one lap.
The Veyron has freaking power and therefore, freaking acceleration. It's very easy to find your car plowing through a turn because you're entering it 30 MPH faster than you should be! It's going to take quite a bit of practice driving this car. If any car benefits from "slow in, fast out" it is the Bugatti Veyron.
Hopefully this car comes with carbon fiber brakes because you're probably going to be stomping on that pedal quite firmly, like I was. Surprisingly, for a 4400+ lb car, she stops pretty well. On La Sierra I only tested the base "Normal Mode" and "Handling Mode" which happen to be different suspension settings. I liked Handling Mode better, but I'm not 100% certain that I didn't reach that conclusion due to the fact that I drove in that mode after Normal Mode and got a lot of my bad over-driving out of my system. Oh, I still over-drove the car in Handling Mode, but not quite as much. I would recommend Handling Mode, even for cruising, for one simple reason. The lower ride height means a lower center of gravity and I think that helps this heavyweight transition.
After doing about $200,000 in body damage to my Veyron I flew the car to Japan and drove a few laps around Tsukuba. I wasn't able to do 59s laps like Ridox, but I did post high 60.0s laps a couple of times and mostly 61s laps while using Handling Mode. If I did more than 6 laps I think I might be able to get my lap times more consistently in the 60s.
This is a funny car to drive around Tsukuba. The power is so great, yet the track is better suited for smaller, more nimble cars. I had fun on Tsukuba...I almost threw the car off the track a few times and I really hit the brakes hard when diving into corners. Give it a try! 👍
I'm going to need to spend a LOT more time with this Veyron before I can truly form an opinion. I doubt it will ever be a favorite of mine, but you never know.

Notes :
This particular car was one of the often forgotten Hennessey work, produced back in the 90's, Venom 600 GTS is not a very powerful car in today's world of supercars and hypercars above 600HP. This built is as close as possible to the real car, similar power and torque, suspension and LSD The car has immense grip as well stability, beware though with the throttle on low speed corner exit.
Tuned and tested at Brands Hatch GP, Bathurst, and Apricot Hill. The Venom 600 GTS able to lap Bathurst in 2:22 region on comfort soft with plenty of room to improve.
Thank you for the suggestion!! I know I've made the following comment before, but I'm going to say it again: While that might help improve the way the car responds to my driving style, I'm going to keep the car with the Rear Toe set to your tune's value. I prefer to force myself to adapt to the car and the way it drives. If I bought a Bugatti Veyron and it came with a particular rear toe, I'm just going to have to get used to it, right? That's my philosophy here too... I will keep it in mind for general purposes though...If you have trouble rotating the car on exit, use rear toe out at -0.15
I very much like and agree. 👍Thank you for the suggestion!!

You started over? Are you feeling alright? Not running a temperature or haven't bumped your headHey Ridox. I built myself a little shopping list a little while ago and I've been picking up a few every now and then
I just did a little more now As you know I'm focusing a bit more on the driving again. The loss of ABS was a lot smaller an issue than I thought 👍 But the changing to AT has been a bit more of a challenge, one I'm enjoying a lot So I decided to start over and work my way back up, and re-started the career races. I'm treating my progress as if I've got to get the most use out of each car and buying a new one if I need to. I even decided the car needs to win the right amount of money to cover any upgrade I decide to install before I do I plan to have a lot of fun with this 👍 I had the anniversary cars and a cool Million in the bank to begin with so I saved a good amount of credits. I think the old way was more fun
As I'm starting over I'm going for some good old favourites and rolling out anything with a big "H" on the front and most definitely anything with a red "R" on the tail I'm also looking for alternatives to run against them all the way up to the motoring perfection that is the NSX-R. I finally got round to trying out theHONDA LA-NA2 3.2 NSX-R / Type R 2002 Such balance, need I say more Tsuchiya-san did make some interesting modifications to his I really like his style. And he stays too 👍
So I picked up a CUSCO Mitsubishi FTO GR '94 220PS RIDOX ver.I used FTOs a lot back in the older days but not really used them much in this one so I thought it could be fun to have around
Are there any other FF's you'd recommend from your collection to try and tame Type-R twins?
