Nations cup. Nabbed myself a great result in the NSX!

Ah, interesting, have yet to try it out.The current NSX uses its battery only for acceleration up to around 130km/h or so, its actually almost always full.
Alright, will send you a PM later today! But it looks like you already found a killer tune regardlessYes please! Otherwise it's relegated to the pile of unused metal. Or should I say, pixels?
Theres a couple of hybrids which are actually okay in the longer races. I often use the Lexus LF-LC GT VGT and it runs out of hybrid around lap 9/10 but still puts in 1:38/1:39 laps.
Nice one, thanks, I'll give that a shot.
EDIT: @lbpmog95 used your tune and it's a weapon! Actually got 1189hp...
Downforce set to 200kg F, 700kg R, gearbox set to 320kph (200mph), on RM tyres, with approx. 797 PP. By contrast, before I had the front downforce at 500kg and I couldn't get more than 750hp but 799.90 PP!
I set FM on 5, short shifted (slightly) to extend fuel range. I think the gearbox needs some adjustment, but straight out the box I was passing cars up to 10th by the end of lap 1.

I pitted on lap 5 for fuel only, filling to 92%, then pitted again lap 9 for tyres and to top up to 100% which gave me 6.1 laps range. Ran until the end and started lapping cars on lap 10. Lapped Beauvois in the final sector on lap 15, so lapped every other car! I made numerous mistakes, so I know this thing can run much faster overall, and I think with a bit of practice I'll be able to get it turning constant 1:32 laps!

This is by far my fastest time at Sardegna, but almost felt too easy! I'll be running it again to see what sort of time I can get in the end...
Thanks! Always good to compare and contrast multiple tunes, so I'm happy to try out what you've got!Ah, interesting, have yet to try it out.

What Porsche is "little"?Finally bought out all the paints, bought the little Porsche and the Maserati from the LCD. Trying out some other cars at Spa for the 1 hour endurance.
The 356 hardtop.What Porsche is "little"?
It's doable to get all golds on controller - not sure if you're on PS4 or 5 but I use the right analogue stick for accelerating and braking, I find it easier to moderate throttle and get better corner exits. Watching the demonstrations really help too.I have started back up on GT7 and trying to get back in the swing of things. I am tackling the gold licenses as I never got them all and I cannot pass IA-9 it’s pretty soul crushing at the moment. I spent about 1 hour each night so far and I’ve made little progress.
I am thinking of getting a wheel too, just weighing my options as it costs a good bit
There you go, can't say it was my work since it's something I found on the internet and just tweaked a bit because it was wheeling on Sardegna's main straight, but it works anyways, race is very easy. FM6, shortshift all gears but 5th (or you'll end up in 6th with turbo lag annoying you), two stops and you're done.Thanks!

Why install it into a car it's already in?Got the Escudo engine from a ticket, but no Escudo to install it in.
Oh bugger. I misread the description and thought it was for the Escudo.Why install it into a car it's already in?
It's for the Evo X.
The reason engine swaps are so valuable and lucrative is they can transform something like the Evo X into a Sardegna grind machine. You should already have one from the Cafe menus, so you can drop the engine in, give it a tune and take it for a blast around Sardegna with 1000hp and decent fuel efficiency!!Oh bugger. I misread the description and thought it was for the Escudo.
Anyway, it's a wasted ticket for me. Not intended to buy an Evo X, just to use a gifted engine in and then resell with a loss.
I'd gladly sell parts and engines I don't want, but that option was forgotten by PD.
Thing is, I already have a Sardegna grind machine, the on-rails Lexus SC430 GT500, RM's, FM2, 1 stop race done in 25:40'ish.The reason engine swaps are so valuable and lucrative is they can transform something like the Evo X into a Sardegna grind machine.

While that's true, you stated that having the Escudo engine was useless - my point is it has a use, and it's something to break from the monotony of using the same generic grind cars and having something else to drive. I mean, I can run Sardegna over and over in the Escudo in 24:30-ish race time, but I don't actually enjoy driving it much, so I'd much rather take something else and experiment with different cars (which I think is paramount when grinding for credits on one race).Thing is, I already have a Sardegna grind machine, the on-rails Lexus SC430 GT500, RM's, FM2, 1 stop race done in 25:40'ish.
In fact, there are many cars that can win Sardegna 800 more than comfortable, without major upgrades.
I can see where you're coming from. I have tried other cars for that grind, but come back to the Lexus time and time again. Why? Well, I like using it the most for this grind. It's trouble free, drives like a charm and I love the sound of it.While that's true, you stated that having the Escudo engine was useless - my point is it has a use, and it's something to break from the monotony of using the same generic grind cars and having something else to drive.

How many times have you completed that same race?I can see where you're coming from. I have tried other cars for that grind, but come back to the Lexus time and time again. Why? Well, I like using it the most for this grind. It's trouble free, drives like a charm and I love the sound of it.
The Escudo engine may have use for some, but for me it hasn't.
Maybe I should have added that to my post earlier.
Far too many to call healthy, maybe? Gonna have to add that I really like doing laps on that track. It has, to me at least, a very nice flow, so I'm not bothered or bored with that race.How many times have you completed that same race?
