I already made a race tune for the regular Audi R8, but have never actually driven the Chrome Line before. I assumed they were the same car, but they are not. There isn’t a huge difference between them, so if you want to try this tune on a regular Audi R8 it should work fine, too. I maxed out both to see the differences between them, and while I would of assumed that the Chrome Line would of been the better version it actually weighs more. Either way, this tune is for 650pp with sports tires and the regular version I did is basically full out race car.
I was worried with sports soft tires this car would be out of control, but it actually performs great. It has a touch of oversteer and understeer, but after a couple of practise laps you should easily be able to tell how to drive it to avoid any issues. The regular R8 was insane to tune and very difficult to drive fast, but this one, even on sports tires, was a lot easier. I am a huge fan of driving it and the added chrome pieces make it look a little more special as well.
