Had some fun in the weekend with the Gr4 Volkswagen Scirocco. They really gave that car a boost in the 1.06 update, don't know if it's because of the change in physics or that they just changed the BoP. But I'm really liking this car now. I'd like to call it the GT-R killer.
Qualified in top 3 every time and won 9 out of 10 races with it. That's something I don't usually do with the GT-R so the car just really is that good.
Anyway, I think I had enough fun for myself with it and want to share the tune I'm using to see what everyone else can do with it. Some credits to
@EDK since his tune is actually the starting point of my tune, gearing is all his, stabilisers and dampers too since they don't seem to make much difference. I just modified the rest more to my liking untill I couldn't push out any faster laptimes anymore.
First the 3 fastest laptimes I had. This one at Willow Springs put me on #3 in Europe. Could've been a little bit better in sector 1 but the rest of the lap I don't think I could've improved any more.
Then at the Nurburgring Nordschleife which put me on #1 in Europe. Though shortly after Bredsladd1 beat me by 3 seconds in his own Scirocco.
He's insanely fast with the Scirocco as well.
And now with the current event, Brands Hatch GP, which put me on #1 in Europe as well, though right now I believe I'm #4 or #5 already so need to improve it a little. But as you can see there's definately some time to be gained still.
And here's the tune I've been using, just a different final gear for the different tracks. Someone I gave it to was modifying it a bit more though and beat my time with it so I may have to make some more changes.
For anyone trying it, good luck and have fun.
Make sure you brake late, let it roll into the corners and get back on the throttle late as well to avoid too much understeer. And just keep the wheels spinning, not much use to try and reduce throttle, it only seems to make you slower.
