Light Car Company Rocket ’07

I have used this car before, but not for any real racing. It is a super tiny car that weights nothing and is a ton of fun. I decided to play a seasonal event that just happen to feature one of these cars. The requirements were that it had to be from the UK, weigh less than 1200kg, and be a max of 550pp. At first, I used a different car that did well, but I noticed that the AI driving this car destroyed everyone. I quickly got this car and decided to tune it, so I could beat the event. Originally, I had a basic tune already on it, but didn’t come close to winning on my first try. I tuned a little more, but still could not win. The best I came was 2nd, and over a full second behind. It seemed just too difficult to beat this little Rocket since I was so far back in the pack. It started near the front and had a much easier time holding the lead. However, I tried to tune it more until I could finally at least see it while in second place. I gave it a few more laps, but just couldn’t pass it. Although I was getting closer it always felt that this car just lacked the power needed to pass. Finally, I decided to change my LSD settings to hopefully make it accelerate quicker, while maintaining a proper ratio for speed. After many laps I am happy to say I beat the AI Rocket only this time beating him by a full second. It was a very hard race, but this is my exact tune I used to win. It is a pretty good 550pp car for other events as well.
