I already searched the forums for a good tune but I didn't found something usefull. So I hope someone can help me to make good tune. I bought all upgrades including aero parts (It tops out at almost 900 bhp if I remember correctly.). I like to have the car very sticky to the road and good at cornering. If it is usefull: I drive with all driving aids off except ABS at 1.
 
UPDATED to help stabilize during braking.

This is what I've come up with, I'm no tuner though, but I test and tune all my cars on suzuka and this one came in 3rd by milliseconds under my '06 rm vette and my lambo 'lago 670-4 sv so its a monster and this tune is pretty good. Hope it helps.

Transmission top speed: 224 (optional)

LSD
Initial: 7/7
Accel: 18/20
Braking: 5/20

Torque: 40/60

Suspension
Height: -15/-10
Spring: 10.2/12.7
Dampers Ext: 7/5
Dampers Comp: 4/6
Anti-Roll: 3/5
Camber: 2.7/2.1
Toe: -0.25/0.20
Braking: 8/4

Soft race tires of course.

I ran a 140.424 on Monza with it and I'm not a good driver with a controller so it seems more stable to me now.

Ok thanks for the reply :D, I'm going to try it.

Edit: I tested your tune and it works really well for me, it's a huge improvement in terms of handling compared to some other tunes I tried, so thanks :D.

Glad it worked, if you make any changes to it for the better please post them, its really still a work in progress so...

I noticed that the car can be a little bit unstable when braking at high speed so maybe you can take that in consideration.

Try adjusting the brakes to f8 r4 or something like that. Maybe even the LSD but like I said I'm no tuner so I don't mess with that too much.
 
This setup is good as far as handling. Braking is a different story! Any sort of braking into a turn, the rear end comes around in a heartbeat. I've tried F8/R6, 8/5, 7/5, abs 3, 4, and 5.

At Monza, the 2 turns after the 2nd chicain and the parabolica (last turn) are really bad.
 

I saw your shop when I searched. First, you don't have LSD settings. On a mid engined AWD car, that's a pretty important component. There are 2 differentials and I'm sure they like individual settings. Second, you'd be better off having a page for each setup with a link to each setup in your first post. It makes for a bit tidied garage 👍

I wanted to use this car for the Dreamcar Championship. Going up against all out race cars, the R8 Chromeline was at a disadvantage! I jumped in my ZR1 RM and got the job done properly :)
 
Well for that particular car I saw no need for differential settings it felt quite balanced with just the center differential. Also I have no computer, I only use my phone. So putting individual links with pictures and graphics like rkm for example is not a viable option.
 
You can use your phone, but there is a bit more work to it. You can't do it in the Mobile Theme. Just like quoting, and now editing, the GTPX layout has to be used.

What you would do is highlight the text and use your phone's copy function. Then paste in a new post. Once that reply is posted, click on the post number to isolate that post in it's own page Copy the URL for it. Go back to your first post to make an edit. Use the Insert Hyperlink function to create an appropriate clickable link.

If there are any problems PM Famine or Jordan. I know Jordan is working on making the site more mobile friendly.
 
I said I was NOT a tuner and any HELP to improve the tune is welcome. If you know how to fix the braking problem maybe with LSD adjustments or anything let post your tune adjustments so we can fix it.
