I got second on the Fiat and Subie challenges and first on the Lotus challenge. Thought the Lotus challenge would be the hardest but my tune ate the competition. Fiat challenge hard as hell, I pushed that lil thing beyond the limit and was still like 15 sec behind the leader.

i got 2nd in the lotus

then i got 2nd in the fiat but the game keeps glitching so that after the race the FINISH doesnt come up and the car is on auto pilot doing extra laps

can someone let me borrow at STI that is good for the last race... i cant get the one i have set up right it keeps oversteering horribly

Are you willing to share some setup tips on the Lotus? 2nd is best I could do after about 5 tries with a best lap time of about 1:03.9. I'm finding that with those sport hards I have to stay off the throttle a long time on corner exit or I get real loose. I've messed with the diff settings, ride height and spring settings and toe-in and camber and I've only managed to shave off about 3 tenths from my best (pass free) lap time -- mostly in better turn-in.

Mine is fully upgraded, go to engine & turn limiter to hp limit. I also added a ballast to meet weight restrictions, set it at 101 & position at -33. Downforce at 19. I believe I set trans to 112, the lowest possible setting. LSD settings (from top to bottom) 10, 10, 15. Ok, suspension settings (paired together top to bottom)
-25, -25
9.7, 10.1
6, 6
6, 6
4, 4
3.1, 3.5
-.03, .10

& finally brake balance 6, 7. Now I play on a wheel so im not sure how a tune using that transfers into a controller if thats what your using. Try it, let me know if it works.

I use a DFGT so no worries there. I'll give your tune a try. Thanks!

Got 1st. Big difference in setups. I wasn't even using a wing so I think that added tons of stability. Best lap during races was 1:03.23 -- a good 6/10s faster than my best with my old setup. Best race before was 2nd place ~3.5 behind the leader. This last race I passed the leader at the apex of the corner before the back straight.

edit: Sweet! I won the Gran Turismo Ford GT LM Spec II Test car with my lev 22 ticket!
