I vaguely remember one of the finalists in the Supra Cup using motion control, among the guys I race regularly, most controller players use stick for throttle and brake, although one of them does still use the buttons, he is very fast in the high downforce cars.
That could be Calster?
Just tried this as it was on offer to download... it’s reasonably fun but I can’t fathom why it feels ‘worse’ than Forza 1 on the 360. Ive long since ditched the 360 console but everything about GTS feels muted somehow. I’m an intermittent gamer so forgive me if this has already been talked about at length... I’m dipping into online racing which is fun but fundamentally the game just feels flat to me.
Is anyone finding since the update, the FWD Gr4 cars are seriously overpowered? Seem to do loads better with the TT than anything else right now on a Gr4 race. Set a decent-ish time on the Nations Cup practice on Nurburgring in the TT, took me over an hour in the 458 to get to within half a second of it. Then switched back into the TT and blitzed my original time by over a second
FWD cars have dominated Gr.4 in terms of pure pace in most races for ages. If the race has tyre wear then they suffer, if not, they'll be up there. The Renault Trophy is the pick on the pure handling circuits or when tyre wear is a factor but isn't great in straight lines. The Jag can be competitive at places like Spa.

I saw exactly what you mean last night. I did 2 of the Nations Cup races, the first in the TT. Ended up qualifying plum last because on my first quali lap I was shoved off the track and got a penalty (naturally, the driver that shoved me got off scot free!) so lap 1 voided. Lap 2 taking the penalty and with more worn tyres I was just too slow. In the race, I did the opposite to everyone else, medium first then the plan was to be quicker at the end on softs. Ran as high as 12th, but then the tyre wear really set in. Ended up 20th and last again, with my front tyres completely worn down to all red on the indicator, rears were still showing as brand new!2nd race I used the Aston for a bit of national pride (all the non-FWD cars seemed to be the 4C but I can't get on with that car using the pad!) and much better. Qualifying still not great, P18, but ended up in P7, should have been 5th but punted off, recovered to 8th then promoted up because someone didn't use both compounds and got a 1 min penalty.

In which context?
You can't use them in the online dailies or FIA events. It's all fixed.
In open lobbies where tuning is allowed then, yes, tuning is worth some lap time.
That's useful to know , i was just browsing on youtube and watched a few about car builds and wondered if it was worth doing .You can't use them in the online dailies or FIA events. It's all fixed.

Like they were building n100 into n200 and n200 into n300.
In Nations FIA it's sometimes worth adding power to a N200 car to change it to the desired class eg N400, it sometimes works the other way as well, ie de-tuning the F40 to a lower class. The TT events normally have one that is tuning enabled, I've used Praiano's tunes as a starting point and I've found them to be pretty good.
