Have you actually looked at a black TT with the Type A wing? Remember this car is a premium and the wing is designed to go with the car and isn't just a generic ricer plank.
Thanks for the change of track, much more interesting a choice to challenge the handling of the car.👍👍Deep Forest is going to be the track. More Enjoyable.
Why don't we keep High Speed Ring or its reverse track as well so the car gets a chance to stretch its legs a bit and show if it has any top end speed.💡

I am not a fan if the look, but to each there own
I like ring mini, but to test a car, it is not the right track.
So, Lets work out some gearing that can run both 👍

I am sorry mate , i pretty much took the spoiler of every car i have ...
I can't stand them anymore in the game , premium or ricer plank it is all the same to me ...
I appreciate different tastes tho , but a car will always ( 99% of all cars exeptions can be made ) be better looking in its pure form then with a lot of carbon fitted to it .

Only more FUN to drive
...you in to test,and/or tune?
I got so bored in it I crashed it deliberately to make it have more personality.
I'll try and test, though I might just whip something up as well. Deep Forest? Screw that, Imma taking it to Trial Mountain.
Edit: I'm pretty happy with how mine is coming along, it's on share already if you want to try it out, though I'm not sure about using it for Deep Forest.

I like it. I ran some quick runs at Deep Forest, Trial Mountain, and Dopey Downs. Fun, quick car to drive... although I am sure to fail, yet again
. If you still playing.

Ok, sorry for the double post, but since we want to keep this one on track and on time, some form of bumping is required.
As mentioned, mine is on share, as far as my tunes for 4WD cars go, they aren't brilliant, I can't get my head around tuning things to work in harmony. Harmony in a teen is just out of character. It's the best I can put together until someone tutors me on tuning 4WD diffs though, so…yea. Give it a go when you can.
And I'm still waiting on your car to be shared, krenkme. I ain't got all day.

Car is on share now. Still needs some fine tuning, but I like the way it drives.👍
@Onboy, I gave yours a quick run and I bested my time by 0.00:140. So you can still kick my a**.
I'll give it a go sometime in the next hour. Dad watching something you lot would enjoy, stuff on one General Patton, you know of him? Your car sounds like fun though.
I expect the same to happen on this side, for your car to run it marginally faster. And notice the lack of the carbon hood or lightweight windows on mine? Subtle TT is subtle.

So the 86SS stuff is cancelled? I've been helping RJ with his RX-8 so I haven't had much time for this.
It's not, just missed its one week deadline, so it won't be mentioned in the COTW thread, but it's still on.
The two latest won't interest you one little bit, but since you're here, I may as well ask you, how's RJ's RX8 going?

just took Onboy and Krenkme's TT out for a test ,
Krenkme 1.19.375
Onboy 1.18.294
only did a 5 lap sprint tho
Onboy , you're car is fast but a damn deathtrap it is fun to drive but midcorner it is very loose and if you're not fast enough on the trotthle you're in the grass or on the wall ... but if you are fast enough it makes awesome replays
Krenkme , more safe car just a little slower out of the corners , hence losing speed , braking is an issue also , if possible the car needs to break harder
just a little update
edit , watching the replay fully now .... i pity the tires on Onboy's TT that car smokes so much you would think it has an oil leak

What track though? Deep Forest?
This is why I don't ever tune 4WDs. I suck at tuning them and if I do tune one when forced, it kills you in one way or other. Look at my VW RSi, grips extremely well on throttle, off it? You don't corner, you crab. Though that said, I'm surprised you found it dangerous to drive, might be the difference in DS3 and wheel, but it drives nicely in my hands. Until it doesn't.

@Roj I'll try and get my AE86s on share today.👍👍
I'll also try getting my "Purple People Eater" A310 on share today.
Going to be another day or two before I can get my TT on share unfortunately unless a miracle happens.

I think a reworked tranny might help it out of corners, but by now we all know I don't know how to build a transmission
Thanks Dog 👍. I'll pull it off share in about 20hrs and do some tweeking.

Right, quick test of Krenkme's TT:
Trial Mountain/Forward: 1:32.152
1st Impressions-
Very nice drive, grips very well, feels like my car, to be honest. It's a very easy thing to handle with neutral handling. No nasty surprises. Yet. Gearbox is perfect for the track, as far as the balance between acceleration and top speed is concerned.
Push a bit harder, however, and some of the car's balance seems to give way to Audi's understeery safeness. It's not a car for oversteer or flamboyance, that's for sure. Rather, it develops a case of slight understeer and slightly weak brakes when pushed. It's like its telling you "Oi, enough now, you've had your fun, now behave yourself". It seems to kill the joy somehow. It has the grip to make it fun to chuck about in the corners, just the understeer that results from being too eager to do so that dampens the fun.
Deep Forest/Forward: 1:22.160
1st Impressions-
Understeerrrrrrrrr. Quite a lot of that is very apparent from the off. It can take the last corner very well, but it has issues restraining itself elsewhere. The front tyres just want to give up for some reason. The faults with the brakes are also made very clear, they cannot slow the car that well when you brake from the back straight at 140mph.
It has a lot of grip and needs to be driven smoothly, and it can be driven smoothly. It's very, very stable. Normal techniques of trying to unstable a car which feature in my limited repertoire fail to have significant affect on the car's grip. However, get aggressive = get off the track facing the barriers. You just have to keep that in mind when going for it.
