You're right. I mostly focus on lobby-racing-oriented setups. If a car is tricky to handle, it becomes difficult and unsafe to race in a pack. But when it’s responsive, easy to control, and still safe, it turns into one of the best and most enjoyable cars to drive.

2025-08-29 20:42:05 +0000 UTCLove this car took some time get use to the rear end stepping out under harsh and late braking but once mastered and a little tweak on the differential it’s a pleasure to drive plus it’s a cosworth 👍🏿 holds its own with other 700pp cars

2025-07-10 09:39:00 +0000 UTCUp to you . Rim width size didn't change anything on this car. Zero PP change.

2025-03-09 12:30:21 +0000 UTCI noticed that you only mention the wheel size and offset, but don't mention the width. Should these be wide or standard width? Thanks!

2025-03-09 02:42:59 +0000 UTCGreat tune! Destroyed the competition at Lemans. I stretched the gears out a bit and its blazing fast down the back straights. I can't wait to try this on some other tracks. Thanks for what you do!!

2025-03-06 04:07:52 +0000 UTCI didn’t experience this behavior with this car. Maybe you’re braking too late? Anyway, if you want to reduce rear-end sliding, try increasing the rear deceleration LSD until it feels right. If that’s not enough, you can also lower the rear ride height to 100, but keep in mind that doing so will reduce rotation and eagerness in corners. Like I said, the best solution is to focus on the right braking point and proper wheel angle when entering a turn.

2025-03-03 15:03:43 +0000 UTCAny tips to improve unstable behavior under every braking? I'm playing on controller, so I don't have so much room for some breaking sensitivity...I tried to set balance to -5, increase rear braking sensitivity, but I'm still far away with some confidence when I'm braking 🥲 thanks for response... I've got 2 another these cars (600 and 700pp both with original engine) and I dont have this problem with them.

2025-03-03 07:28:31 +0000 UTCI used the manual trans and got a little more hp out of it but I find it slides out in corners. Any suggestions?

2025-03-03 00:12:41 +0000 UTCYes, it’s up to you. Personally, I prefer adding a bit of power or downforce instead. The car is already very good and stable in its current setup. I did consider body rigidity, thinking it might tighten up the handling a bit, but it doesn’t really feel necessary.
Laurent Bouis
2025-03-02 19:21:52 +0000 UTCNo increase in body rigidity?

2025-03-02 17:45:01 +0000 UTCOk I built it w standard wing. Can only go to 100 downforce so I added more rear ballast to compensate. Would that mess things up?

2025-03-02 16:48:33 +0000 UTCThe behavior and performance are similar, but at a different level. Racing tires completely change the driving feel, offering a very different experience and requiring a different driving approach.
Laurent Bouis
2025-03-02 15:11:33 +0000 UTCI think yes. The car is still very stable and would support the St wing. Perhaps with a small lost of PP but it'll be ok.
Laurent Bouis
2025-03-02 15:07:32 +0000 UTCIs this better than your original non swap 600pp tune? Both are 5 stars so must be close!
Dave C
2025-03-02 14:34:41 +0000 UTCAny chance of using the iconic standard wing on this one?
Shockthealien
2025-03-02 14:26:24 +0000 UTCI knew this would be fantastic, so much so I swapped the engine when it came available in anticipation of your miz en place…amazing drive, thank you!
