Hey guys,
Some of you’s properly never heard nor seen me race, but I tried my best 98% of the time and clean 100% but racing top cars and same cars get boring.
So I tried some other cars out, AWD cars and rwd, but these seem best as not LB times but always consistent and in top 300 on tracks.
These are the cars;
All file names are ‘A lobby’(just for these 3cars)
AWD Mercedes AMG A45 - runs mostly all tracks
AWD Eagle talon TSi - again most tracks (few guys shocked when beat them in this, ran 08’s on Bathurst)
RWD Ford cobra ‘00’ - good car for eg spa, sil, tracks like this.
Always these are assists all off. I can push these to the limits and still run clean laps easy, can I have some feedback too please
Thanks a lot

I’ll give tat Mercedes a go when I get on next time. 
I’ll report back after I’ve raced a few tracks.
EDIT: I got the tune, just need to race it when I get on the game later tonight.
I decided to take that Mercedes out for a spin on a few tracks; here is what I thought:
Bernese Alps Full - 1:52:237 - I was expecting some understeer since I know it’s AWD but it seemed to understeer quite a bit mid corner. I found myself having to brake earlier or a lot harder than I was expecting to take some corners. I think that if I drove it a bit more and got used to it I could easily post a better time. Drove like a muscle car almost, very fast on the straights then cut lots of speed for corner entry and power out shortly after the apex but then again, it is an AMG so…
Long Beach Full - 1:30.003 - This car is not set up for this track. I was unsure of the brakes a lot, either braking too hard and locking up or braking for a really long time before the corner. I also found myself considerably higher in the gears than I expected but this is most likely due to the fact that it has the stock transmission. Not hitting any bumps or going over the red line in corner 3 (before the half roundabout with the flowers) the car would shutter front-to-back under braking on every lap but one but I never experienced that elsewhere so I think it’s safe to say it’s something on the track that is just hard to see.
I would potentially tweak the brakes a bit and lower the front sway bars to suit my personal style of driving.
I think the car drives well, and I could practice with it a bit and achieve better times. For now, it’s in a higher class than I regularly play and a different drive type and I think that may contribute to the issues I expereinced.
Do you run abs on or off? The set up is 53% and 145 pressure. And thanks for great reply I will tweak it alittle, but again thanks!
I don’t use ABS. With the braking and shuttering, it may have been something specific to that corner that wouldn’t merit tweaking. Otherwise, that’s more pressure than I typically use so it means (on the controller) I can’t brake as hard or the brakes will lock up, but it feel strange. Must be the car, I have it but I’ve personally never used it in the game. I’ll give it another go once I have a chance to play later this week and see what happens.
