I have the premium Esprit. I use it for racing, like the Rome circuit. It is so sloppy! I have the GTs Maserati that by comparison is a dream on that map. HELP! I have boosted the power to just over 600hp so its fast, put the car all the way down, and added the stiffening chassis bars, changed the brake ratio to 5:3, but its still sloppy in braking and corners. Any suggestions would be gladly appreciated!


EDIT: And WHY are there no Lotus (or Ferrari for that matter) pit crew uniforms?!?! Just the generic GT logo. Its a SHAME. Perhaps they will be part of an upcoming update.
 
I am no expert at all but went ahead and made some adjustments to the suspension and to my surprise the car (Lotus Esprit V8 '02) is tighter and not sloppy in corners and rides more like the premier Aston Martin DB9, which I like.

height -10/-10
spring rate 8/9
dampers ext 8/10
dampers comp 8/10
anti roll bars 5/5

didn't touch camber or toe.

Nice one. If it understeers or oversteers, you can change the height accordingly, but if its working like that, kudos.

I think I had too much power and the default could not handle it. I have every Esprit in the game. Haven't done anything with the standard ones yet, but will eventually. Do you think they will be similar once I get the power up in the same range? Handling wise?

I'm using the standard Esprit V8GT, it's an awesome car, but it's tailhappy, though, thankfully, very controllable, very easy to keep long drifts through long fast corners with, i've been using it a lot.

Team Lotus, how'd it go with my Spirra?

Lets just say, it sticks to the floor like poo sticks to a carpet.
 
Got my Spirra back, and it's still wild, it still wants to go sideways, but i can control it now, just a bit easy on the throttle, and don't power it fully out of every corner, it's a lot faster now, and i don't lose control all of a sudden cause it decided drifting would be awesome on this straight :P

Thanks guys.

Hi TeamLotusGT5

I've just registered here, after lurking for the last week, taking some advice regarding setting up vehicles in GT5 and learning a bit afrom others.

Even though I've been in the series since GT2 on the PS1, I never really had tuning down. Last night I discovered your 111R Elise tune and when implemented, it simply blew me away.

I've never had so much fun driving one of these as stock, in game, they lose much of the praise afforder to them in real life.

Thanks a tonne and for 'forcing my hand' at registering here. 👍

No worries! Glad you liked it, it's nice to know people appreciate the tunes.
 
Hello TeamLotusGT5!

Your tune for 111RM Elise is very good but I like to drive the Elise 96, is there any chance that you do a tune for '96 Elise with race modification?. I opened a thread but nobody has answered yet

I know I'm asking too much, but if you could ...

Thanks in advance. 👍
