1.36's is a good solid time, should be pretty high up there lobby wise so you've nothing to fear there.

Definitely need to try things to see if I can more time out of this car.

1:34:3xx

Citreon DS4 (Clean)

Dont think ive got anymore in this shed.
First corners tricky to get perfect without falling foul of the 'two tyres not over the white line' rule.

The Renault and Civic are a bit quick arent they,1:34:1s with only a very basic 5 second tune.

I know someone is running 34.0 impn the ds4

1:37.265 with the Civic.

Will probably need another shot with the tune and build this week.

Managed a 1:36.9xx in the BMW 1M coupe.
Reality gonna be mid to low :37's consistently. Gonna take another shot at the build and tune this weekend!

I'll send you my build/tune if you want to test it, see if you like it.

Best clean time in the BMW so far is a 1:34.215.

OK, can someone let me know what times you fast guys have managed in the Astra VXR. Dont want help with the tune or anything, just want to get my time to a good average. I am normally within 1-2 secs slower due to being simply not as good lol.

Cheers guys

Dave the Astra is monumentally poor at cornering, I even tried the anti roll bar all the way down to zero to see if tripod cornering would do it.

not too late to choose another car mate.

No im fine with it mate. It goes round corners its just a little lower on HP than the like of the Volvo I tried. I tend not to test the cars but just choose one and get it do what I want.

I know you have been running 34's which is fast and im in the 36's. This tune could go much lower with a better driver. Which is why I wanted a ballpark to set my time on. It took me ages to get into the 36 which by the average is not too bad.

Which is why I wanted the likes of yourself to give me a time.

If the Astra has only been able to hit a 1.35... with any of you guys in then Im extremely happy

Cheers Tub

1:35.9
Ford Focus ST '13
Hockenheim National

No tune. Everytime I try to minimally adjust the tune in anyway I lose 2 tenths

I know how you feel mate lol. One thing I can say which help me is to RAISE the Diff to around the 85 mark. It gave me less tyre scrub and let me get round that little faster.

Not sure if that is the way to do it LOL but it worked really well for the astra. I could not get it to grip on the bends no matter what I did to the suspension.

But nice time though

1:34.7 in the Megane.

Still only a basic first build with a 5 second tune.

Got a ton of A600 FWD cars in my garage already so the drivetrain & power layout is nothing new to me.



1:35.3xx in the Astra with my testing build and a 5 second tune so it's about half a second slower than the Megane and I didn't think its handling was too bad (certainly not Sentra bad anyway).
Race Cams give you a nice flat HP curve at the top end and doesn't increase torque much so makes the car more driveable and the Sport Gearbox can be set so you can pull out of corners smoothly in 3rd and only use 3rd, 4th and a little bit of 5th.
Send me a FR and i'll gift it over for you to compare if you want.

Cheers mate, just what I was looking for. . Will send FR in a mo. I didn't want people to tune for us this year just a little nudge in the right direction.

Cheers Cowboy appreciate it,

Thanks Cowboy, I had a look at your tune and build. Had to make a slight adjustment so I could "enjoy" the ride. Its slightly heavier and not as loose. But at least I can comfortably hit around my fastest time most times. That is a happy medium for me.

Appreciate it mate. Thanks.

I have come to the conclusion that due to T10 not allowing the car to be even a few inches off track at any point w/o "dirtying" the lap, Hockenheim should not be used in league competition. The same way that Maple Valley and Sunset are never used due to aggressive curbing that causes flips.

the more laps I do here, the more I despise this place.

Surely that would affect Catalunya too because of the last chicane.

Just grind it out Mikey. And if there is any practice/testing lobbies going then I'm game
