Hunty - If you would like you can FR me and I will send you a tune and a replay of a decent line around the track. It has some quirky areas where you can gain some serious time. I think it could help you get into the high 34's low 35's

done cheers vapor will be a great help

Has the nail biting started yet ?

This is set to be an epic final round for all drivers and cars, its a championship after all, a true reflection of skill and talent over several tracks all with demons lurking in places for any car we all chose.

I for one would like this last round to be memorable for driving talent and racing etiquette between lets face it online friends and rivals.

We should all make the effort to ensure the final round is a true representation of what the staff at TORA have provided in a close fought TCC Championship.

I still cant stop the wierd understeer in the Renault.

Turn 1 the car just refuses to turn, Tiniest bit of power.
Tried everything I can think of to tune in more oversteer etc, Played with the diff/ ride hieght you name it.
Still cant get the thing to feel right.
It actually feels like a glitch or something, I cant quite explain it

If you're using a controller Newt, double check your deadzones, I've had some issues with controllers here. 2 out of the 3 controllers I have just wouldn't work here for some reason. One of them is old and worn out and the other is brand new. 

If you want Newt I can send you my build/tune if you like, just send me a FR. I've done a 1:32.7xx in it.

Controller dead zones, Hmm will have a look at that. Only spare controller is an old one that goes to the left.

I would appreciate a look at the build/tune if your certain?
Will send a request in a few hours.

Our tunes have been quite nice this season but it's like one turn is just so so strange that I would be grateful to compare them and see where its gone wrong.

Sincerely, Thank you Deuce

Sent it over to you Newt, the tune I sent you is before I made changes to the ride height so you may want to up the ride height a couple clicks front and rear.

Thank you,

I aim to compare the tunes/builds rather than use your tune verbatim.
See what I can learn from it. If I cannot get mine running right I will have to try your one out.

Really appreciated Deuce

Anyone willing to send me a SEAT tune that will run a 32 or low 33. Best I can manage at the mo is a 34.1 every lap.

1:33.9xx in the Mazda.

1.32.8 in the lexus. I will struggle to improve

Seems like a decent time, would have put you 4th on the grid here last season  

BMW was pretty good round here last time we were visiting Nurburg, I just sucked at driving it lol.

Have to make on for a friends team, so I'll let you know how I get on.

32.7

Woo hoo 1.32.349

Great time... Repeat that in qualy and you will be at or near the front.  And from there you and any other RWD's near the front should have the lead in the first corner.  With the Lexus' straight line speed it will make it tough to get by you or Haydo around here, as the passing zones are generally in the straits around here and the speed will help defend a marginal corner exit if you make a small mistake.  I am not looking forward to having any Lexus' in front of me for this.  Even if you have a little better pace, it is so hard to make a pass on them.

I have ran a 1:32.143 in the Civic on a once in a lifetime lap.   But this is one of my best tracks in the game.  I am hoping to run a 32.5 or better in qualifying, but my qualifying pace has been so bad this year I will take anything in the 32's.  Luckily I have qualified well here in the past (2nd and 4th).  So I am crossing my fingers that it will help me get back to form

I am nowhere near the 1.32's grrr, I blame it on engine swaps! Everyone else is running a Bugatti V16!!hehe  

Good times though guys, should make Quali interesting, I have a feeling it will be the tightest quali of the season.

Times are so close! I done a 1.32.297 clean now, so the Lexus, Leon, Civic and Megane are all within a tenth or so  

Yeah I agree magic but I think it will come down to who wants to risk damage on the last chicane

Very true... I have bad memories of that wall  

I think there'll be a fair few people getting clipped by that wall, as we all know, they do tend to move closer towards the track into oncoming traffic...

Tubbi, Venom

Tandem crashing, like it.
