Default Cheater bits added to Dark knight!!

i finally received my gurney lip and dive planes and had goldcrest put them on the right way for me. these carbon fiber canards are a bit bigger than the 4.0 ones and i was a little worried how they would look. i think it turned out great and goes well with the CF mirrors and wing.

Nice now the Black Knight looks even evilerder!

You added the downforce stuff same day?
My data at RRR showd more then a second faster. Everyone said it was in my head, but I don't think so...

Send the data to Dave the coach, Randy and Rad, they can analyze ..

Need to come drive AMP..

Well done! You really benefit from the extra downforce in the long radius turns. Looks like another track that is really not going to be suited for .1GT3 gearing.

no, not same day. so track has obviously gotten faster but its still slick as you can hear my tires squealing coming onto the front straight

there is fine grain track marbles still in the wheel wells when you come off the track. showing that the track still hasnt settled yet. hopefully, they didnt let people on the track to soon

It's busy in there with the RS gearing. There are still a couple spots where I could probably shift to 4th but I'll be in fourth for 2 seconds before having to shift back to 3rd

Still trying to figure that track out

wow, first Trakcar drops 1 second at RRR with cheater aero bits, now Jenks drops 3 secs at AMP by adding the same cheater aero bits, and breaks the DE Cup track record at AMP (which obviously gets broken as it is the only Aero Beetle running AMP).

Do they make Gurney lips and dive planes for my Fiat? I want to drop 3 secs of my lap times, without going flatout.
