I look forward to your feedback, its probably my best tune that Elise!
I had some time to test the Elise 111 RM with the Vengence tune this evening.
The car has been one of my biggest problems in the game so far, on every track Ive raced it, from Tsukuba to Nürnburg, it has delivered horrible handling, nomatter how I tried to adjust its settings. Fast light cars can be almost impossible to drive when something is off.
I try to achieve a flowing drivingstyle, cautiously braking deep into the corners and gently applying power from the apex. This was impossible with the Elise, I often understeered into trouble and when I let go of the throttle to try to correct , the car spun out with the tail all over the place.
My first few test laps on Deep Forest Raceway with the Vengence tune was a slow return to actually beginning to trust the cars ability to corner and build confidence in my driving! A couple of days ago, I was fortunate to race with some very good Elise RM drivers there, doing laps in the 1:11.9xx´s. WAY ahead of me just trying to keep the car on the road.
On my 5.th testlap I managed a 1:12.7xx, sensing that the gearing was restricting laptimes. So I changed the max-speed and after 6 more laps my best clean lap was down to a 1:11.603. An improvement by more than 2,5 seconds of my previous best laptime.
The tune provides great cornering abilities and stabilty on the straights, which leads to driver confidence, and Im sure the next time I take the Elise out to Deep Forest, I can shave 2, maybe 4 tenths off and still do consistent laps.
Amazing tune for what I consider a difficult car, Im very grateful Mike that you shared this tune with us!
PS: I still havent maxed out the aero parts, so maybe there´s even faster laptimes in store from this tune!
- More practice with the Elise brought times down to 1.09.792, with a minor slip letting 3 wheels go outside the track:
I´m still amazed about the level of detail in this game.
