Transmission: 224
Downforce: 50 / 70
LSD: 30 / 60 / 5
Height: -20 / -20

Go do it and you will see

Jamie, do i just need to accept you for you to be able to send it?

When you planning on sending, and then racing with chris? Ill get it fired up later tonight, and ill be mainly on it 2mo day.

Let my old man loose on it last night, and in real life, he can drive very well. This he said is wank, steering feels stupid on the wheel.

I think it was just an excuse as he couldnt keep the car on the road

I did this with all drivers aids off...

Also didn't realise you could tweak the setup on the nascar lol, could've saved myself effort.

Please let me know the secret with the GTR race and the rx7 one though. On both i end up about 2 or 3 seconds behind by the end

Not heard of that before John

Chris did you manage the RX7 race yet? I did it on my 3rd or 4th attempt, did 1 minute flat every lap, took him on the last lap and finished 3.5 in front.

Just have the Mustang one to do now

It's weird you use skid recovery on... I've never put that on - ever. Don't you feel it's cheating?

I don't usually use it, I've never used it in any online races or A-spec events, I've just been using it in these seasonal races because there mega hard

I don't feel as if I'm cheating but maybe making it a bit to easy for myself.

Anything to get a win

i do, and i would rather spend hours and hours trying to do it without than do it with..

infact, id rather not complete it at all than use it, but because its just a seasonal race, i might do it ust for the money.
