FM3 Road and Track Pack test drivers needed

[sidaorb]

Another appeal to you guys, I've already built 4 cars, they made need tweeking but seem ok for me, need some feedback on them.

[Curry Burns]

Sure thing matey.

On the flip side, I'm struggling to make my A-Class Twingo handle, any tips on the tuning for it? I increased the rear aero and reduced the rear tyre pressures and it still slings itself sideways far too easily...

[WildCards]

I'll have a bash Carl if you're still after another second opinion, i'll most likely be online for most of today as soon as i've finished this job.

I had the same problem they are so light on the rear once a fishtail starts all you can do is hold on for the ride, if you do too much you just create understeer, to a point thats why I like this game as it prevents 1000bhp hot hatches. Let me have a look at mine.

[y2blade]

I'm always happy to give useful feedback Carl

I have really clicked with the tuning/set-up in forza 3

Count me in.

[Flyin Banana]

i'll have a drive for you!!

[ScottishSamurai]

I'm always game for some testing! When you send the car give a message as to when you want it back too

[JB!]

fling one over and i'll thrash the nuts off it this evening.

good stuff will get on them tomorrow after work, just earning some CR now on another Endurance race off the events list...R2 around Lemans 17 laps

[y2blade]

I had a brief run in the Megane late last night, will drop you a XBL message about it later on

Any track in particular, is it a speed/grip or bit of both?

have you managed to have a look at a paint scheme for my porka yet

cheers Rob

[WildCards]

Cheers Carl, i've run the VXR over 4 tracks now, setting two new PB's, it's very stable with oodles of grip, however I do have a couple of suggestions for tweaks. I'll grab your ear when I see you on FM3 and we'll discuss.

[ScottishSamurai]

I'll jump on the xbox in a min and give the Holden a whirl. Glad I got a RWD car Shall give my verdict. Are they suited to any type of track or is it an all rounder?

[ScottishSamurai]

Right, i've driven the holden on 2 tracks... Sidewinder full and Nurburgring GP full. Very good car, very neutral but I can't seem to get it to corner how I want it to, understeer on many corners and Hitting kerbs induces oversteer very easily. Tis very easy to catch & control though!

Ever thought of making a drift car Carl?

Me? Drift car? Wouldn't know where to start. Maybe I have neutralised it too much if your getting understeer.

I love these feedbacks as the cars are always set 'for me' and obviously everyone drives differently. I should start a line in bespoke FM3 cars, sending them out, getting feedback, tweeking and eventually...'suits you sir'

[ScottishSamurai]

Well on the smaller tracks, the holden would make a fine drift car, sort out some camber & toe on the fronts and it will literally glide sideways for a long time!


I do have a couple tunes but can't afford to send the out for testing

[Kitch88]

I'd be more than happy to test any if you wanted Carl, would particularly love to see how the 400bhp FWD Megane goes

[y2blade]

Carl this Megane understeers like hell even on closed or neutral throttle, It just will not hold any corner speed at all





I even went into the upgrade shop to check if it still had stock rubber fitted!! but no it does have race rubber fitted and wider too...
