Haha, knew it wouldnt take long!! I’m sure my dude waved as you flew by in that Fiesta!!
Don’t use my tune.
I forgot to put aero on the car. Whoops. Finally get why the car wasnt acting right at times.
Simple change and now I’ve done a 38.5 clean and going ghost for ghost pretty easily with Bubba. I scrub too much speed out the second of the last corner. Even with aero I’m still getting better top end.

I retuned my Cosmo and got a new PB (1:39.783), yet still frustrated that I missed several 39.3-39.4’s
Running very closely with my Elan as well…the inconsistency kills me…lol…I actually think the Elan can beat the Cosmo in proper hands.
Will give both these cars another run either tonight or tomorrow morning before I head out for a relaxing weekend.

New PB on the Lotus Elan, 1:39.563, with dirties in the flat 39…so frustrating!
*** For those of you interested in checking it out, I shared the Elan tune…C500 with Description “HLR HLC”.

And I’ve been pacing 38 flats to 38.2s but routinely hitting .3s and .4s (did one clean though). Ive yet to put down a smooth lap but whatever I’m safely in top 50 for a long while. I know for sure my car can do 37s and top 10s (#1 in 'mericas too lol) so it’s a ego victory. Haha.
I’ll try your tune tomorrow if I’m not fooling around with a tinder chick, drinking, out, or all to some of the above.

Awesome job Swerve…I am just excited about being within 1-2 seconds off you great drivers. If you do get a chance (seems you’ll be busy…lol…) to take the Elan for a ride, please let me know how you get along with it. Thanks!
Good luck in your continued runs w/Cosmo. I’ll be trying my Cosmo one more time.

Just wanted to mention that Moss has an AWESOME paint (Jetson’s theme) for the Lotus Elan…so, check it out as well. You’ll be assured that your lap time will get better with this paint. Thanks!

This car runs 38s. For those not wanting to drive the beautiful cosmo and prefer the clown car, this car is a good substitute. Clowns need loving too.
Kidding aside, it’s a really fast car.

Hey guys,
I gave a good try with Moss’s Cosmo. Really nice car! But I’m not good enough yet with it, although I am getting better. Still, couldn’t get into the 1:40s or beat my best time. I was chasing Slayer’s Fiesta around and around and…
Mazda Cosmo: 1:41.614
Great HLC!

Hi guys,
I think this will be the final time update for me for Brands. (We’ll see… )
I did MANY laps with my GTO and again with Moss’ Cosmo. I improved times for both cars.
Pontiac GTO: 1:41.301 → My best time for a muscle car. I really worked at refining the tune and also experimented with more rearward brake balance for trail braking. And I think it worked, at least for this track!
Mazda Cosmo: 1:41.049 → Dang! So close to 1:40!
I was a little frustrated last night with not getting into the 1:40s, but today, I’m happy. The improvements are there, and I’ve learned a lot. Man, Moss’ Cosmo is fantastic!
Regards,
Snowman
