All Pics from Multiplayer B Class Hoppers

Tango Tuners have been working on this car for some time, and Friday night the job was completed. We hit the MP lobbies to celebrate the B class Hoppers and were impressed from the get go.
PzR mushman: My money is on the Merc 63 AMG! But not in B class cuz they were well beaten last night in multi
PzR Mushman was in the first lobby we played, and Mugello was the track. From the off we stormed into the lead, with me holding first place until the off camber turn onto the Back section of the circuit – and I rolled.
Dissappointed, but not disheartened, I got back up and hit the road – I managed to get back up into 4th place AND took 2nd fastest lap of the lobby. I knew some more work had to be done, and it was the first Time I had run the car around Mugello.
I know the PzR guys are fast, and this project was never to create a LB car, but a competitive one – that said, the stats below prove this already is a TOP 1% tune.

The rest of the night was a different story, and with fine tuned Suspension and Gearing, The victories were coming one after another. Tsukuba, Iberian Full, Twin Motegi, Road America, Laguna Seca.
Beating all car types, including Scoobies, Evo’s, Audis Porsche and Ferrari. All tuned to top of class as well, with driver levels no lower than 22 and as High as 35.

OK. MP was a blast – the reaction from the lobby players when they get beaten by a GRIP tuned SUV is immense.
PLEASE NOTE: You will need to very slighty adjust your lines when the higher rumbles are involved, but this is VERY minor and did not affect my online performace. I reccommend you run the car a few laps around, say Iberian, to get the feel – just because of the weight of the car. Despite the TUNE, it is still and SUV [:)]
Everyone who has driven gets faster each lap as you realise the Grip this car has – and it is the FASTEST B CLass I have seen off the line.
