DRIVING TIPS

Be sure to meet with throttle when going off the brakes. It can easily be steered a bit with the rear if you let off the trottle an instant.

TUNE DEVELOPMENT THOUGHTS

In TUNE II our goal has been to make the car easier to control while in mid turn, and to try to get more bhp out of it, while keeping it controllable. Because of massive torque the car easily oversteers. The rear wheels lock up and cause the back end to spin out when you go off the throttle, caused by to much grip on the rear. With the brute power of the car it gets powerslides very easy, and this is even more present with lots of friction on the front tires.
Thats why we have been focusing on balancing the grip of the car, with a special interest of the rear physics.

The final gear is wrong fix it
my best wishes to your labor expect you enjoy it

What a way to open a garage, got the final gear wrong. Lol I wish all the luck for you my friend. Competition here is very tough as to who has the best tunes but you will see that somehow in here, they help out each other and that's what sets apart this website from the rest. Good luck and I am looking forward to test it for you once you fix the final gear.

Welcome Thunder & Lightning.

Velkommen Thunder & Lightning tuning!

What an opening post, straight to the tune. I'll need driver names if you want to be in the Showdown, and don't forget NTSC or you will instantly have a points disadvantage.

HELLO Stealthwinner.Its a good tuning on gt lm

You know whats annoying me, that the tuners change their tunes without keeping the old parameters viewable ?!
wanted to test the initial tunes

I take the GTLM for a spin. See if its good enough to beat the S2000's 1:02's and 1'03's and 1'04 's

I wonder if it drifts well too




👍

EDIT: Just took it out for two laps. Got a 1:03 late in both.

I reckon it would do well, its just that I have ZERO GTLM driving experiance and I was like Oh...
Im sure it can get a 1:02 easy great car. You just need to get used to it

Thanks a lot Theewar. We'll have a look at 2nd gear. It's a question about how 3rd gear works in the esses. We dont want to much grip from gear lag - but of course theres more to do with this car. We're working on version 3 this evening.

I have tested them both....don't get me wrong both setups are good...but I still prefer the first one. Why?? Well let's just say that I love to get sideways and still have fun. So there you go, first setup for me!

thats a fair point BRracing..but do you not think that when your racing side by side against somebody,some times through many corners..that knowing your car aint going to loose the rear or front end because of a stable setup. is that not more important when tuning a car for a tunner showdown?

Fair enough yes......but if you are confident like I am (my driving style) I think I can hold my own. Now if it's going to be for a showdown, yes go with the second setup, since it will be easier to drive. I still go faster with the 1st setup than the 2nd, for some reason I think that the second setup is too stiff and loses speed on some corners. That's just my two cents and my opnion! 👍

TUNE II
