1:46.61 something in my car before I hit the last corner 2 tenths up :(

1:46.346 in Mad Dog's Pug before I binned that too. The Pug is probably the outright fastest at this track and this is definitely its best track but there's still a chance it will crash. The Pug will do a .1 but it really lacks consistency.

You gotta make the call bro. Do you take the safe option, or do you risk it for a chance at glory perfection and the ultimate (read as biscuit).

Motorhead, it's quiz time - What would your uncle Riotto do?

a) hit the pit wall while leading the race (destroying the car in the process)
b) crash while under no pressure (destroying the car in the process)
c) pulling over from the lead to push a team mate up a hill (destroying the car in the process)
d) run out of fuel twice in the same race (somehow destroying the car in the process)
e) crash for no foreseeable reason (destroying the car in the process)
f) forget to keep turning on the exit of a long corner and drift into the wall (destroying the car in the process)
g) hit every single car in the lobby at least once (somehow winning the race in the process)
h) push too hard and spin into a wall (destroying the car in the process)
i) crash while running with an unassailable lead (destroying the car in the process)
j) forget to brake while battling for the lead (destroying both my own and Jonny's car in the process)
k) crash into an crash that has already unfolded beforehand (destroying the car in the process)

Surprised about this, running 100 & 0 on the diff with no TCS & got a 1:46.130 in the pug. I think I can get a 45.9 but that'll be mint. But like Motorhead that's just because of the car :)

YES! The way forward <3 I'm so glad somebody else has actually used these diff settings!

If 100/0 doesn't work, then I also try 100/90! I love my classic diff settings :')


If use 100/90 and TCS on then you can set the car up with like crazy oversteer - I'm talking like soft front and stiff rear everything. Also run like a tonne of negative toe on the rear. If you then completely re-learn your driving style you can change it so you put the power down like before the corner - and that's how I used to drive - it was great, it works really well! :)

Takumi used to do it so I thought I'd give it a bash & it works a treat! I would never go that crazy though, that just sounds dangerous xD

Depends if I can make the car turn better on the slow corners and make the car be able to handle the curbs more aggressively. I really do not want to mess with your (Riots) tune though, and Sebring can be very unforgiving when you use the curb to much.

Yeah I can see your issue - the way I have the car set up at the moment is a bit of a compromise. If you make it any more controllable over the curbs then you end up losing some of that hard edge that gets the time in the first place... Mind you I'm far from the best tuner, so it's highly likely that a lot more time is in the tune somewhere!

You could probably try playing with the ride height if you want? It could help a lot on the curbs and provide cheap gains - the only real reason that I don't is because I like the twitchy nature that comes with a car that is tight to the ground. A lot of driver preference I guess.

Raising the front 100% makes the car faster, just a little unpredictable especially into 17, it's more of a qualifying tune, wouldn't dare use it in a race. Wrecked the car twice on 17, once on 16, and FOUR times on 13 lmao
