Aclass tune for Alfa 8C

I’m looking for a good all around tune for the Alfa 8c. Try as I may I haven’t been able to get a handle on this little car to save my life. I’ve always loved the looks and the sound it makes going vroom vroom around the track, but I can’t seem to get the balance right and make it competitive in A class. I would like to see what someone else has done with it to see what it is capable of, and maybe move my tune in a better direction. I’m still learning with my tuning abilities and I’ve had pretty good success with more than a few of my tunes so far, but this one is a little frustrating. Thanks for any help.

NEVERMIND - I got the wrong alfa…

PTG Greek has grip tune: so good at Lime Rock, Yas South, Sonoma, Rio (short tracks for shore - haven’t tried it on full), Some of the VIR tracks, and Prague.

It lacks top speed so anything with big straight its going to fall down a bit.

I’m #50 overall at Rio Mtn in it, #93 overall at Yas South.

A class is a rough class to be competitive in with Exige, Ktm, mono, and the other Alfa

I would try EMW Venom’s as well, I haven;t been in it, but his tunes are always quite good.

Sorry for not reading post well, I haven;t been in 8C to know any good tunes for it - but left the original post as those 4C tunes are good.

What tracks are you planning and/or prefer running it at? I have a tune that I had unshared to make room for other shared tunes, yet, had a race tranny for a specific track that I currently do not recall what I set it up for, so, if you’d like I can revamp it and you can try it out as a compare. Thoughts? Thanks!

Ran 3 laps at Sebring (2:16.1) and Rd Atlanta (1:28.9 - PB, #4 8C) each, and though this car will probably not be on top of LBs, it will perform Top 2000, Top 1000, and even Top 500 depending on the track. So, was not sure how “competitive” you were looking for…lobbies, hot lapping?? Please let me know if you have any interest. I did run Sebring with the Race Tranny and took it off for Rd Atlanta, was just interested in checking both versions out.

I mostly race in lobbies so I’m not really looking for a LB tune. I don’t think I’ll ever be one of those guys at the top of any leader board, I just like to have fun, release a little stress from a hard days work but still remain competitive. I’ll check them out if you’ve shared them again and see what happens, thanks.

Got it! I played around with the build after my runs and put 6 builds together, none with any additional power…just swapping tire widths/compound and tranny (stock/sport/race) combinations. I would suggest the grippier build. I’ll post one up in a little while. Hopefully it matches your driving style.

I tried your tune out last night and it is a whole bunch better than anything I could come up with. The rear steer with throttle control concept is something I’m coming to grips with slowly (LOL), but this one seemed to be easy to get around the track (love that sound!) Most of my tunes are done with ABS and TCS on with the values adjusted moderately towards the no assists driving crowd to make them more appealing to both styles of drivers. I’m more of an above average, casual racer myself due to having limited time to play at the end of the day, however this tune seems to fit my driving style pretty well and I absolutely love, love, love the paint! I’m a huge watch fanatic (I have over 30!) Thanks for the help on this one and if you’re willing I’ll consult with you again on any tunes I may have problems with.

I am glad the tune satisfied your needs as a driver and your driving style. I certainly appreciate the feedback. On the paint…lol…I had NO idea you were a watch fan, yet, really glad you liked it as well. The watch itself did take some time to put the vinyl together, and, I actually took the concept from an official 911 Porsche which is sponsored by Lapizta. My brother is also a watch fanatic and has many in several glass stands at his home. Not sure his total number, yet, seems to be many as well. I also have many other tunes and paints available, you can just follow creator for ease of access if you wish.

As far as consulting on other tunes, absolutely…anytime (car/track/class). I’ll try my best to help you out.

Tune is shared, file=“A700” or search my GT. Please let me know how you get along with it. I can certainly work on it some more. Decided to share the grip version with Sport tranny (FD set to Old Mulsane). Hope you enjoy it!

p.s. Putting together a paint for you as well.

*** UPDATE: Paint shared as well…file=“Lapizta” or GT.

PTG Greeksniper has a nice Alfa tune, on VIR its also well but it lacks top speed cause its a grip tune. For lobbys i would say its perfect.

Not sure it is the “8C” Alpha SCH1WO, per OP’s request!!
