So I think I’m starting to get the hang of this tuning thing, just watched through all of moneyman300’s youtube vids and TG Wormburners tuning guide.
I think the biggest problem was that I always tuned with TCS on since thats how I drive a lot of the time, but im ditching that and going back to B class to learn how to drive and tune better.
So heres my Ferrari California tune, made for no assists.

Car: Ferrari California 2008
Tune: B Grip
Creator: Ruddy88

I do favour understeer in my driving so bear that in mind but I think it’s running ok. Only runs a sport trans so only final drive altered.
Main issue was to focus on the handling.

Through reading up, It seems a lot of people are favouring high negative camber (2.0-3.0) and only running a caster of 5.0-5.5 as the game doesnt seem to penalise it as much, I also used MoneyMan300’s advice on running very high rebound (11) and very low bump (1.5) though I lowered the front rebound down to 10.
Ill post the specs here if anyone can help with pointers for improvement or if anyone wants to take it for a test drive and let me know what they might do better?

Your doing the right thing ditching the tcs and the tuning calc,it will make you better in the long run. too many people rely on tcs in c and b class where its rarely needed.
I havent built and driven this tune yet but will try it,but looking at your numbers you look like you have the right idea with most of this. The build is 70% on this game,often more important than a good tune. Try taking off the clutch and the transmission,and flywheel to free up pi to use on extra tire or hp. I would recommend full weight reduction when possible too. i see your bump is low,thats good,i find bump stiffness has next to no benefit in most cases. i know several top10-20 drivers that nearly always run minimum bump,and -3.5 camber on most cars,not all,but most. with your aero settings,i find that i usually get the best times either running full aero,or minimum,depending on where im hotlapping. i dont think its worth trying to find a medium in most cases. sometimes i do in fwd cars,but not in rwd or 4wd. dont be afraid to try extreme settings sometimes,with the toe,springs,bars ect things sometimes work on here that would not work in real life. but i think you have the right idea :slight_smile:
