I'm not a fan of Aston Martin but that one looks promising i might built it or wait for @ALB123 to test it out

By the way, about the new 500PP seasonal, your countach LP400 with full tank version works wonders, manage gold on first try and haven't tested the optional springs and weight

And the non racing car drift event at sartlhe, the Hakosuka works perfectly there

Wow :) The Countach LP400 is well loved by PD, just like the Ferrari 365 GTB4. The 365 managed 3100+ points at Sarthe :D
 
I am such an idiot... When I started doing this week's 500PP Seasonal Event I thought I had selected my Lamborghini Countach, but I had actually selected my Miura. About halfway through my lap (I only did one lap) I said to myself "this doesn't feel like my Countach...what's going on?" Sure enough, I discovered why it didn't feel like my Countach -- I had selected the wrong car! :dunce:

Aston Martin DB9 LM only comes in Sarthe Silver, 6AT and Sports Pack as standard fitment with clear rear lights and red brake caliper. Only 69 DB9 LM ever built.

The replay is with Aston Martin DB9 6AT Sports Pack on CS, 1:27s at Big Willow.

I'm not the biggest fan of Aston Martin cars. I don't know why. They're gorgeous vehicles to look at. They place a premium on luxury, which I personally find incredibly appealing. Still, I've never gone gaga for Aston Martin cars in the past. In fact, before this build sheet was published, I only owned the V12 Vantage (and the stupid VGT car which is free).

My assessment of the Aston Martin DB9 SP (I drove the 6MT configuration with 124mm ride height) began on the roads of La Sierra, a track that I feel really puts a car through the paces. 16+ miles of road has changed my opinion on the Aston Martin cars in GT6 permanently. I had an absolute ball driving this DB9 around La Sierra! I know what I'm about to say is quite ridiculous, but what can I say? We get spoiled in GT6...Anyway, 444 HP didn't seem like a lot when I was spec'ing this car out. It's quite plump at 1807 kg, but it honestly doesn't feel that heavy while driving it. Maybe it's because of the sub-500hp engine, but the weight is not a hindrance to the DB9's performance at all, unlike the Aventador which does feel heavy when spec'd out properly with Ridox's build instructions.

Handling feels quite neutral with a touch of understeer, however, I learned that I could prevent that understeer with a quick touch of brake before many corners. I think throwing the weight forward briefly on turn in and then powering out with your foot to the floor keeps the DB9 SP planted perfectly. You'll even notice the rear end will like to come out and play from time to time, especially in 2nd gear.

Brakes feel very nice in this car. I ran with a 5/6 brake balance though I did try 6/6 for about half of a lap. As always, go with what feels best for you. The Comfort Soft tires provide tremendous grip around La Sierra. Sport Hard tires must feel like the car is glued to the road.

I definitely foresee a lot of miles adding up on my DB9 SP odometer...She's just a lot of fun - not too much power. Not too little. Just a very well balanced machine all around. 👍

The 6AT DB9 LM also drives reasonably well, the gearing is not much different than the 6MT. The premium GT6 model can't capture the majesty of the interior luxurious leather and build quality, maybe on PS4 with real fabric properly simulated using the graphic engine.

Check this DB9 '07 brochure to get a glimpse of the real car premium build quality. Small size 1.9MB.

Mmmm....Me and my Ferrari Daytona have been having a blast around La Sierra! Ridox, you really set this suspension up well. I'm about to take it around the Nordschleife to really test it, but I have a ton of confidence that she'll handle the bumps of the Green Hell just fine. 👍 No complaints at all, so far... I've been driving on Comfort Soft, but I probably should put Comfort Medium on this car.

Take it to the Madrid and Sarthe seasonal :P I'm online with @danbojte in ridox fan club practice room with Veyron at SSR7 , hop in :D
 
I get it...I get it... No one wanted the American in the practice room. That's okay!! It didn't hurt my feelings that much. It's not like I spent the last 20 minutes crying my eyes out, balled up in the fetal position or anything...

Notes coming soon

2 Replay provided, both with 3.8 Track Spec ( Hyundai official weight ), at Streets of Willow, 1:27s on CM tire, real life record MotorTrend at 1:28.71 by Randy Pobst driving the R-Spec ( not much weight difference to the Track model ). Another at Big Willow on CS, 1:29s.

A well matched car against the BMW 1M and 370Z replicas.



UPDATE APRIL 2017 : Added specific suspension to work with custom torsen LSD for Car & Driver spec 1579kg 56/44, works best from CM to SH tires. Damper changes and front camber at -0.5 as well as revised BB at 5/8. Custom torsen LSD should give the car distinct character off and on throttle :)

Tested with 294HP detuned power ( without catalytic converter ), 1579kg, 56/44, SH tire at Big Willow, capable of easy 1:27s lap time, comparable to the Evora with 250HP/1431kg 39/61 SH. The Genesis now react very well to throttle when cornering, the long right curve, the uphill/downhill middle part and last corner of Big Willow is a great place to try this. Don't be afraid to be aggressive at the long right curve and last corner of Big Willow, the front toe in might be high and looks to be detrimental to the front end handling, need not worry, the suspension has been setup to work well with the alignment.

The tune should also work on GTS Beta Genesis at Big Willow on SH tire.

That's a sweet looking car, the Hyundai Genesis 3.8. I have one already, but I think I'll go buy another for this setup. 👍

As far as I remember, this is a great potential car.

The Genesis handles well, the car has stock transmission ( gear ratio is correct this time ), and LSD remains stock ( offers best balance of traction and stability ) Running low lock LSD is preferable if desired, 15/15/5 as the stock LSD ( similar to the GT86 ) might be too tight for some.

The car has been tuned to reflect the Car & Driver, easy to push, super drift friendly when over the limit. The updated 2013 Genesis 3.8 has better front camber adjustment allowing optimal 1.5 camber for spirited driving. The factory OEM camber at the front starts at 0.5

It should be great race contender against the BMW 1M and 370Z ( Touring ). The Aston Martin DB9 LM/6AT would also be great depending on the track.
 
I took my new Ridox Replica Hyundai Genesis 3.8 R-Spec around Nordschleife... I noticed the rear likes to come out and play quite easily in 2nd and even 3rd gear! This was with Comfort Soft tires. I usually run 1 grade higher around the Green Hell. Comfort Medium will probably be the compound I run most often with this car, but for some reason when I'm going around Nordschleife, I need a little more grip - I don't know if it's a mental thing, or what...but I do.

I think the car drives fine on the stock differential. Just be a little bit cautious with your throttle inputs in 2nd gear if not driving in a straight line - I think that's a fairly basic way to drive many cars. Brakes feel totally fine. Transmission is good. There is a lot to like about this car! 👍 Perhaps we will find it in the fan club lineup some day? ;)

CM is the closest tire to the real car ( cornering speed at Streets of Willow ) The car does love to drift on 2nd to 3rd gear :P

Here is the Car & Driver Test Report and take a note of the tester remarks about the car at the bottom :D

See! Now you know that I really DO drive these things and test them properly!! :sly: Actually, it's more of a testament to how well you build these replicas. See, this is why I like driving your replicas - the cars tend to drive very close to their real world counterpart. I don't want to drive a Hyundai Genesis 3.8 in GT6 that someone tuned to have uber amounts of grip in 2nd & 3rd gear on full throttle. Sure, I'll probably set a quicker lap time, but it will no longer be a Hyundai Genesis, in my opinion.

I do have a question. With the Hyundai Genesis you said: The updated 2013 Genesis 3.8 has better front camber adjustment allowing optimal 1.5 camber for spirited driving. The factory OEM camber at the front starts at 0.5. Does that mean we could use anything between -1.5 and -0.5 for front camber? Or does that mean that we must choose either -1.5 or -0.5 for front camber?

You are free to choose any value between 0.5 to 1.5, 1.5 camber is max possible with stock suspension, at least that's from what I read on Genesis owner forum. OEM alignment comes with 0.5 camber front, try it first, see if you like it. I prefer 1.5 at Streets of Willow :P
 
I've only driven it around Nurburgring GP/D, Nordschleife and I just did the Seasonal Event around Big Willow. I never, ever drive at Streets of Willow unless I have to - like for a Seasonal Event. I don't know why. It's certainly a challenging, technical course. Maybe I'm just a big wimp! :lol:

Anyway, back to the topic at hand. I set my car up with -1.5 degrees of front camber. I'll try -0.5 degrees, but I have a feeling I won't find that to be enough. I only asked the question out of curiosity, not because I was having problems with the -1.5 degrees in your build sheet. You know me...I like to setup my cars exactly as the replica dictates. Occasionally, I will see you offer someone advice on how to tweak the car to better suit their driving style and I'm always like "NO! No, you can't change that...If you bought a (insert car name here) you'd just have to get used to it. So, get used to it!!" :lol:

Speaking of changes...I greatly preferred the stock alignment of the Sirocco R that we're using in the race this morning. You recommended that we switch to the "Loose" setup and now I'm 1.0-1.5s slower!! :grumpy: :ouch: @danbojte says he's faster with it. Maybe because he's a better driver than me...The strange thing is, I DO prefer my cars to be on the loose side, but maybe this particular Volkswagen is just too loose for me...I don't know.

The loose setup should be easier to drive and friendlier to the front tires ( less push ), try to adjust the brake balance if you having over rotation under braking. Lower rear brake a bit :)
 
You just gotta love rotation in a car with a FF driveline.
Nothing worse than driving a FF where the front end feels like it's running on CH and the rear is on RS. No enthusiasm for lateral movement and rear wheels just to stop the sparks.

I'm so awful with ABS=0, it doesn't really matter what my settings are. :lol: Obviously, I love the Fan Club and I love all your tunes and I love all the people in the Ridox/Fan Club/EAG world...but I don't like driving ABS=0 at all. I do it because it's a rule, but that's it. I thought I would give it a go, like outside of the Fan Club, but then I figured "why?" most of the cars I drive do have ABS in real life, so why should I turn it off on those particular cars? Granted, the fan club race events are different -- its a rule, so I will abide by it -- but in my personal driving, I will stick to ABS=1.

I thought I would give it a go, like outside of the Fan Club, but then I figured "why?" most of the cars I drive do have ABS in real life, so why should I turn it off on those particular cars? Granted, the fan club race events are different -- its a rule, so I will abide by it -- but in my personal driving, I will stick to ABS=1.
No ABS, because in GT6 the ABS isn't just ABS. :)
