Make sure you give it an oil change as well to get a few more BHP. Should be somewhere around 420-425 depending on the oil and how many miles you've done in it.

Same here a lot of the time mate. I think that if people want close racing (instead of Jamie/Sausage out front an everyone else half a mile apart) then we either need more people or slower cars.

It doesn't even have to be a slow slow car like the MX5, just not something as fast as a fully tuned 458 or RM'd car

This leads us back to the 4WD races we had I think, not too powerful but enough to be interesting and slow enough to be fairly close.

200/300 bhp limit is good in my opinion....will have to have a play around with a few cars after the race tonight.....see if any are of interest lol

The famous CS after-races usually happen and are worth hanging around for

I might pop by to watch for a bit later but definitely won't be racing.

Or watch me spinning at every corner

I'm struggling with this car, going to go on shortly and play with the setup.

My NSX-R is a beaut to drive, might transfer the settings over and see if it works with this car.

I usually tweak them a bit with obvious things like adding some camber and stiffening up the suspension depending on how the car handles but thats are far as it goes, and lowering it to the maximum

You got a lap time Sausage? Give me a bit of a reference
