I've always been a fan of Ferrari's, especially the 430.  I bought the march DLC as soon as it came out and have been having fun with the scuderia.  This build suffers from a bit of understeer, but I felt it was a necessary sacrifice to not have the car fishtailing every turn.  Its much more stable than stock tunes, at least for my driving style. 

The car tops out at 187 mph, I've been testing it on Mazda Laguna Seca (1:24.200) and Suzuka (2:02.543).  I'm sure there are plenty of better drivers out there that can beat my times, but 10 sec behind #1 on the leaderboards is good enough for me.  Any suggestions to the build/tune would be greatly appreciated, but I posted this because I used to get so fed up with not being able to handle a 430 at high speeds, and I hope it'll be of help to some other people.

Thanks for posting a free tune but you need to create a link per the first post in the database.  The directions are pretty easy to follow.  Ask if you can't figure it out.  I would hate to see a good tune not posted due to a clerical error.

I tried this yesterday with a normal F430 and It's nice, much better than the stock car. I did change the front anti-roll bars a bit though - it did tend to understeer a bit. I also don't use ABS or TCS, so I left the brake pressure at 100%, was a bit too grabby at 110.

Thx for the tune, I'm currently running the Italian series in the regional races and I'm running with this car because I don't want to have to buy an Enzo or MC12.  I find this car very skittish and twitchy and I have tried different settings.  I'll give this one a shot but I think your brake pressure is a little too high for my liking and I have found that I need to run a good amount of negative rear toe to keep the back end from coming out on me.
