No oil change performed (default power amount). This was to keep the transmission settings consistant even over long distance racing.

This setup is quite loose at all times, but fairly controllable for such a state. I found myself panting after all the countersteering required when pushing hard for a quick lap! Though this is labeled as a road setup, it is certainly ill-suited for some tracks. Tracks heavy in undulations (especially at higher speeds) spell for disaster due to the lack of downforce and general stability. This setup tends to work alot better on the tighter city tracks due to its willingness to turn.

The gearbox settings provided hit the aerodynamically-limited top speed of 227mph just as sixth gear redlines. I reccomend you adjust the ratios for each track, however. To get the proper ratios:

- 1. Start with the default gearbox settings
- 2. Move the Auto slider to 25 (far right)
- 3. Move the Final slider to 5.000 (far right)
- 4. Move the Auto slider to 2
- 5. Move the Final slider to 2.500
- 6. Adjust 1st through 6th gears to their indicated values

Test Laps:
49.562 - Tsukuba Circuit
1'04.583 - High-Speed Ring
1'09.595 - Deep Forest Raceway
1'15.233 - Apricot Hill Raceway
1'15.239 - Opera Paris
1'26.533 - Côte d'Azur
1'26.630 - New York

[July 27 2006] Updated the gearbox settings for even closer ratios. To adjust the spread for each track (and I strongly reccomend this), simply use the Final slider.
