I have spent entirely too much time working on this car.  I hate FWD cars with a passion however I think I may have tamed the beast.  Time will tell though

Anyone willing to share their tune setup?  Im still way off the pace with this FWD car.  Could also be the track as its tough for me to be consistent on it for some reason

Also doing 47's but using the stock tune so nothing to share..may have changed the final gear but don't recall to be honest.

Well thats interesting.  Im a good 1/2 second faster with my tune over the stock one but still some 2 seconds off the pace as Im only getting into the 49's.  Must be me and this track then. Thanks for the info guys.

That makes up for the 2 seconds you're quciker than Parcells on the Monza track Grimm so it all evens out. Actually you had 2 seconds over me on Bathhurst too so...bring on the short tracks!!!

Need a few things confirmed ....

is there a mandatory pit? And in the op it says custom tuning is allowed but tuneable parts are suspension and gears but iam unclear if that means aero is to be left at stock.  If so iam not sure what those are cause I believe I changed it

No mandatory pits. You can tune any available settings :)

Race day. I will open the room an hour early so people can just come and jump on the track. I won't be there until about 20 too though.

What happen to your Thursday weather report for the race church?  We ran a mock trial after the thurs nite track race and noticed that with multiple weather changes the track build up was odd....the race started with a wet track no rain, dried up than pissed rain for a good 10 laps before the track even started to get wet again?

My bad I didn't have the grip setting to real wich would have made all the difference.  What we ran last night no mater how much it rained we would still be able to run slicks. I just had some room settings messed up :(

As Kurupt says where is the weather report

@ Stevie it wasn't the grip level setting it was the fact it rained for 10+  laps and the track remained at 0% but with water spray coming up ? :)

Church, get your act together and tell us what the weather looks like outside your window today else you may incur a points penalty before the series even starts! Collectively I think Grimm and I can overrule you???

Church - Can you confirm the "Grip Reduction on Wet Track / Track Edge" setting (Real or Low)?  Makes a HUGE difference in how to prepare for the race

Has nothing to do with tuning but rather tire management and at what point can you take on race tires
