Tuned for Drivng Force Pro at Laguna Seca on S3/S3 tires.

Ran 1' 48.836 on S3 tires with 125 Hp, 12/16/06
and 1' 43.606 on R3 tires with the same 125 Hp.
A good setup,............ Meets my 5 second test!

This is the second car that I tuned for the Volkswagen Race Events, GTI Cup. This one with much less Hp. I'm doing it over hoping for a red GTI,........ This one is black with some very nice Porsche looking black and chrome five spoke wheels, (PD0216).

Nice set up. Got my Thumbs Up

. I had to add some hp to beat the '05 golf on a couple of the tracks but I think if I went back and did them again, I can beat it with the 125hp.

"Swizl99", Glad to hear you liked the setup, and thank you for your vote! 125 Hp is pleanty to take the field in the GTI cup. Makes for good close racing that way. I tried to tune, or not tune, these cars to realistic horsepower values,......... keeps it real. Later, Brian

I usually am successful using your set-ups with the posted hp, but on this particular series that stinkin '05 was too far ahead of the pack once I was able to get into second place. And with only 2 laps to catch up, it didn't have the punch. Happened at Midfield and Tsukuba. Plus, I'm using DS2 and probably need more practice. I bumped up to around 140 hp (I think I added NA 1 and dropped exhaust or something) and was able to stay ahead of the pack long enough to win.

I do enjoy your setups especially when you include the race series you run them in.

Try resetting the field (about 12 times from console rest) until the V is starting 5th and the Lupo and Polo occupy the first two positions. This makes the job much, much easier.
