Challenging Stock, Now Perfect for WTC600

This car is difficult to drive in stock form—with skinny tires and no downforce, it’s challenging to set up. You have to keep it in line and avoid exceeding the grip; the balance is very narrow. I focused on longitudinal balance and tightening the lateral grip. I also refined the ste...

Only a few setup options are available, but at least the stock gearbox and differential are solid. I’ve focused on tuning the suspension to free up the movement around all four corners. The result is a car that’s pleasant and easy to drive.

Performance is good, though not top-tier—lapping the Nordschleife in 7:10, which is about 5 seconds off the pace of the fastest cars on this track.

Very good car for the Sardegna event – consistently lapping 1:33.5xx , using short shifting or Fuel Mode 2 for the full 8-lap stint, with potential to hit 1:32.5xx full gas .
One stop for fuel and tires is enough (though the tires might last the full race—I haven’t tested that yet).

Fast car on Le Mans—lightweight, but with weak brakes. The balance is neutral, and while I was expecting more agility due to the very low weight—something similar to the Lotus Elise from past GT titles—it doesn’t quite deliver. The car feels heavier than it should, which is a bit of a letdown.
