How much would you be pricing a tune for an Audi R8 LMS on Twin Ring and Sebring?

could you tune my aston martin v12 vantage?

@Toxic, it may be pricey because i do not have one of those Audi's. Or you could send me yours for tuning however my only guarantee is that it would be back before wednesday. any time before that i cant give a time for.
@Bullshiy, the same goes however much less costly due to the fact that i know that car isnt a million+ CR. I will be on tonight (ik its a ridiculous time) to look at the car.
Also the Camaro is sold. I just have to set up the deal with the person who has staked a claim to it. (BMEAZY)

I will be posting more cars built and tuned to sell on this thread.

Could i send it to you on Wednesday and you could have it back to me any time before Saturday?

uhhhh. I guess that could work but how would you qualify for Sebring? i put out wednesday so that you could get quali's done and stuff.

Tuning Tip of the Week:
To any who see's this that raced at Sebring,
During the photo-taking i noticed a trend. Many car's brakes were unevenly distributed taking away from braking capabilities. Check the replay and note to yourself how red your brakes are and how even that is compared to the other brakes on your car. An example would be an Aston v12 that had *red* hot front brakes, yet the rear looked cold to the touch. Driver's preference is a perfectly fine thing but it may pay off in the long run to re-examine your brake settings. (I do know that the weight and spring settings also affect this but still just a helpful tip to those who read this)

rear brakes don't usually get red even in real life. If you have red rear brakes that means your probably going to spin out.

In forza both sets of brakes can glow/become hot. It just depends on how much you brake and from what speed you brake. I'll post a photo sometime.

I know that the rear brakes wont get *nearly* as hot as the front. And i do know that too much rear brakes leads to a spin out. However with weight transfer going to the front you can afford slightly more rear brakes. The car that made me think it should be mentioned that rear brakes exist was one that was visibly braking earlier and *seemed* to have the front brakes carrying too much of a load. It was more a suggestion to just review how well your brakes are working compared to how well you can fine tune them to work.
Lol though, it would be funny if someone took this so literally that they had like 80% rear brakes. This tip has to do with very small changes in percentages on the tuning set up. Sometimes when people lock their brakes they assume they broke too hard when they could try to work that out so that they can be harder on the brakes , there are 4 brakes on a race car for a reason, and all of them get used to maximize stopping power.

Sidenote: Drivers at the oval short tracks near where I live often try to avoid getting on the brakes altogether because of how easily you can spin out on those banked corners with rear brakes.

Good tip sainted. Could help someone with less experience at tuning cars. You may have been looking at my Martin and your right I wasn't running much rear brake. With stock rear tire width the car gets to much wheel hop if I had much more

Think this might be a better comparison http://fav.me/d59xd6p (goes to my deviant art page)
It also shows the different driving styles of each person

The end to end comparison of the Vettes is a great way to show how each driver has is own style of how s/he likes the car to react under breaking. Stock tire width would explain the almost nonexistent evidence of rear brakes lol. The placement of the weight in the car also matters a lot as well, Front and Mid/Rear engine cars react different when the weight is transferred. Personally, I can only tune RWD cars and preferably front mounted engines, however working with the Porsche for a few straight weeks, and with the input of people far more experienced than I, I have been able to get a grasp on mid engine tuning. And it was a Martin but i couldnt tell whose it was, nor would it really matter since it was just something that caused a thought. If you really want o get a clear look at whats going on with each car's breaks after the first race go look at them in camera mode as they brake for the hairpin @ Sebring.

Finale Note: Equal redness/heat does not equal maximum stopping power. The example about the rear tire width being different is a prime example of how each tire can bare different loads before they lock or lose traction. Changes in suspension stiffness can have effects on braking distances as well which is checkable by using the benchmark tool in tuning.

It is safe to say that you would prefer that all brakes would lock/lose traction at the same time because then it means they are each reaching their peaks prior o the excessive braking. Going down a straight and breaking heavily at the end with the telemetry up on the friction section can help you determine if you need more front or rear brake. But feeling and comfortableness play into it as well.

That was a mouthful xD I should really work on making thoughts more compacted.

Remember to check your stiffness this week as many cars are taking suspension damage on the corner at the bottom of the hill. Stiffness or night can sometimes help the problem. A way to check for problems to to read the telemetry, any time the springs go red then you are bottoming out.

Just in case you don't know there is a LOT of information and some videos to see and a tuning guide in this thread!
