Posted by Djbuzz 07I found a tune for the Holden that seems to help GT = (RelaxedPRKid) it's stock parts so we can use this tune.

Best so far = 2:10.570, pretty sure with practice I could get down to 2:08 - 2:09 just need to get the braking points dialed in.

cool will give it ago at 4 when finish work

i was only renting the holden as well looks like my savings for the lotus car are about to go out the window

Dan don't worry man I'm running the exact same times 2:14 or so

2.16 is my best, can't go any faster,think I'm going to make my gear longer,seem to be able to be more smooth always being in a higher gear then I should be

Posted by WRA SwagggWould anyone like to team up with me?

I'll run with you, Khaotic. I ran some laps last night and I think(?!?) I barely beat my previous Rivals time so I'm in 2:07 range but my safe, race pace will be about 2:08~2:10.

Would you mind if I run the 1st stint?

Yea, don't buy two cars unless you have lots of money to waste. This isn't worth it. The cars are really not the issue. And neither are tunes. Some tuners use a wheel, some don't some use progressive braking instead of the linear-style with no resistance (like a pad only a pedal), some tuners love oversteer, some love power, some love understeer, and some think certain tuning flaws, which may be there, need to be compensated for. So you really can't ever rely on one man's opinion of what tune to use, since Forza tuning is semi-accurate at best and everyone uses different equipment, plus the preference factor. I usually search for tunes under the track name, then load 6-8 and try them all, then pick the best one. But 80% of the time, I use my own.

Still need a partner Dan. We can both run slowly around the back watching people pit. lol. If not, anyone else? I can only run the second stint.

Using the Holden tune Djbuzz was talking about I've gotten 2 seconds faster so personally I like the Holden a lot more than the Ford

Hmmm. Well, it's worth a shot them, since Forza can't seem to give me enough money.

I don't doubt you. I'll just have to figure it out for me. Technically they are supposed to perform the same, if you ask Turn 10. But maybe driving styles come into play with the different strengths and weaknesses of the two. Who know. The leaderboards do seem to be more full of Holden's though. The view from the Ford is better IMO (esp. with that great mirror) but they both really limit your FOV. The bar doesn't bother me as much as the narrow FOV on the right.

That's a main thing I am trying to adjust to right now is the view they both are horrible especially with that bar across the middle of the window and also Dusk if Dan doesn't want to run with you or can't I will

Alright sounds like a plan

Anyone in the 2:07 range want to team up?

KS, send PM regarding team name; feel free to propose your own or accept one of the two! I think it will be hard to beat option #1.

We are Team SWAGGRD.

My wheel is broken. I have a Thrustmaster TX Italia that's 6 months old. Buttons and shifter stopped working and others are mapped wrong. No fix, it's a hardware issue. TM is dragging their feet to replace, but they had better. I'll be out until further notice. Sorry.

Anyone still looking for a partner that is running around 2:12
