It just a starting point, handled well around ' the ring '. Hence the long gearing.

Whoa...hold on a second...You should try some of these things. It may help you. Lower camber to 3.5,2.5. ...also lower the rear DF to around 28. Um..lets see...ASM=0,0 TCS=5. Hmmm....oh yeah brake balance should be equal front to back..maybe 7,7. Tell me if this helps. Wink

therat1989, I used your suggestions and they worked well, I didn't have a clean lap around the ring but the car handled well and I beat my old time for the same car. I'm a noob at tuning.
Many thanks.

I used hotdog's settings with therat1989's advice (I haven't tried hotdog's original settings) and I must say it works great. Thanks for the setup guys Smile

Just clocked this thing with a 1.46.031 on Twin Ring Road Course. Amazing, amazing setup.

On a FR car you should try having the front tyres at least 1 level softer than the rear. Bright Idea

Great setup for an equally great car. Tested on capri rally and the car performed well, very nimble through the sharp corners. On the other hand, which one's better? NA tune stage 3 or super charger. I currently use NA tune stage 3 with 678 bhp. Thanks guys Big Grin
