I agree, its a beauty. But isn't the lowest the front height can go 96? Question?

Thanks,
Pete

I'll check again, but I was sure I wrote the settings down correctly.

Checked and confirmed. Ride height can go as low as 80. So my setup is correct

Fumes, you did it again!

I dropped the shocks all round by 2 and set the VCD to 35 to better suit the DFP wheel but a great setup it is. Ran a pretty clean 7'11.144 at thr ring on R3's

Fast is on the edge of control.

Game at 99.4% guess where I'm stuck at?

Is S3 better than R3 in terms of tire selection for this setup?

R3's are definately better, as far as grip goes. But it depends on what you are trying to do. Some races mandate N or S tires to enter them, so you wouldnt be able to run on R tires.

Or if you want to get max A-spec points, you'd try to use the worst tire that you could, and still win the race.

Low budget, A-spec point

Another great setup Fumes
The Audi A3 3,2 V6 Quattro can actually earn itself in Credits.
Star with the car, buy a Sports Chip, A Semi Racing Muffler and a Full Racing Suspension.
Add a Close ratio Gearbox and a set of brake upgrade (NOT the adjustment...)
Use the settings from this setup (Where possible.)
Go to European competitions, enter the Swartzwald leage I and you´ll gain 80+ points i the tree races. Avard car is the M GTR Race Car.
Then go to Euro Hot Hatch.
The points ar only about 10 Point pr. race.
But after these two series you gained 120,000 credits.

If you never go off, you don´t push hard enough.

Please vote for the setup you use, give the tuners the credit

Great setup. I only got this car because I wanted the M3 GTR race car and wanted to try something new. The handling is actually way more neutral than I expected. When I first drove it in the A3 only race I found myself trailbraking when I didn't need to. Top stuff.
