Hi all,
I had this sitting in my garage for ages and never got round to racing it much as it understeered horribly. Then i found that not many people did a tune for the SLR here and the majority went all out on the performance parts, tires, or aeros. I figured since this is a supercar not a race car I'd stick to sports softs max and worked from there.
Also, the car's a beauty in my opinion and I didn't want to spoil the exterior with the aggressive aeros, I even left out the carbon hood because of the little clips that show up on it and spoil its lines. I just wanted to keep it pretty close to the original car and improve its performance but not go totally bonkers as I was working with sports soft tires. Kept weight reduction to a minimum, again trying to keep it close to the original although the interior always looks the same no matter how much you "rip" out of it.

I'm sure it can be improved, I'm no master of tuning but this suits my driving style and I can still powerslide it around some corners when I want to. This car is fun, hope it is for some others too! Enjoy!
