the fastest build is invisible bodykit, 50/50 weight, race weight reduction + ugly forza wing.

Think I tried that or something very similar first attempt.

Eventually decided on a build without the body kit.

Running 1.52s at Mugello for example losing to people doing 1.50s

Maple valley is usually a strong track for me but again I can’t match the fastest players.

In more positive news the body kitted NSX is also competitive in open A.

You could try this ESV tune from Bruvenow

It’s low aero so you have leeway to adjust grip at each end

Thanks. Will do. :+1:

This reminds me, I got to try the Time Attack Mitsubishi Lancer. Its sitting in my car list, and I keep forgetting its there.

Same - especially faster production cars.
I don’t usually enjoy S-class (& some R-class) because that seems to be a danger zone for me where power far exceeds grip & brakes.

I feel a bit more confident in some P-class race cars because they usually have enough grip & brakes for me to manage their speed.
…But only if I can tame how twitchy some of them can be.

Sounds like we’re probably a good match on the track! :+1::hushed_face::flushed_face:

I went back to that build and did a low 2.02 at Sebring which is about what I was doing with my best previous build.

In conclusion it’s the driver not the car!

High drag builds suffer on power tracks, it shines on Maple Valley, Laguna Seca etc though. Don’t run more than 50% rear aero on Road America and Sebring. 2.02 is a good time btw.

Do you k ow what the build is? As it’s got front aero it’s not the usual invisi body kit

I run min rear aero 99% of the time.

2.02 is ā€œokā€ - makes me wonder how the very fastest players do it. It’s just not fair!! :angry_face_with_horns:

I also wasn’t happy with any race tires build.
Ended up with my typical sports tires build that was faster than the race ones I came up.
Did high 2:01s at Sebring which gave me the first win.

Interesting. I was on for a 2.01 but literally fluffed my lines on the final turn. Took me 3 Laps to clear the traffic in that particular race leaving just one chance at a hot lap.

I’m pretty much on your time with the race tire, I’m between 2.01.9s and 2.02.5s in qualifying and I managed to get down to 2.00.9s in the race but generally low 2.01s.

Yeah. You’re obviously a bit quicker than me as we saw in other races.

High 2.01s is about my limit I think.

Faster faster, we’re still almost in the same rhythm ! :smiley:
What setting do you have on your 458 ? Is your aero low or high ?

Still tweaking it.

Half aero on the front body kit build

Full front Aero on the no body kitted one.

Min rear on both.

And you manage to get some grip ? I’m full aero in front and half in rear with no body kit.
