Hi Tobias,  2 days ago you answered a question for a good tune this way:  Don't worry, at 0500 5050 it's not perfect, but still pretty much competitive.2 days ago by Tobias mann What do you think would be the perfect tune up to a rank 1250?

I don't think there exists a "perfect" tuning nearing 1250, only good enough ones at best. Having said that, this would be a most efficient one: 0500-5555, 461 km/h @ rank 1246. And, as a nice fringe benefit, the acceleration gets 0.4 sec faster than with any 050X-5050 tune.
 * Hi Leigton

''I am asking, cause I realize that all those 1178 ranked R8 are seriously quicker then mine 1111 ranked R8 (0500-5050). I do not think, that 0502-5050, which would result in a 1178 rank is quicker then the 0500-5050.''


 * It's faster indeed, but only by less than 5 km/h and at the expense of adding 67 to rank.

However, a tune 0500-5055 does also lead to a 1178 rank, and this one could be quicker as mine 0500-5050, becaus of the higher nitro proing.


 * Compared to 0502-5050, total speed would be roughly the same, but with a better by 0.4 sec acceleration.

And again, what do you think is a perfect tune?


 * The one that results in the best bang for the buck factor, namely the most total speed for the least rank fat. With this car, the more you touch nitro the more you go into the diminishing returns region. But of course perfection is only an imaginary goal, and in practice you end up taking into account factors such as handling, nitro efficiency and how competitors' cars are tuned.

I am interested to read your opinion,

My opinion? Talk about diminishing returns...
 * Players with the same OP car are always tempted to out-tune each other's, little by little; kind of a slow arms race. (More on it here, hereand Spudanki's take here.) Ultimately, who's guaranteed to win that war? He who first fully max-pro's the car, of course. Now try racing a 1695 ARSE against a 1690 AHGT, a 1660 Vulcan, a 1630 Hommage, to name a few...
