Bandit was chassis stiffening used on that?

Nope, setup without active steering as well. If it is a bit hard to drive then try, changing Acceleration sensitivity to either 20 or 30 and change the rear compression dampers to 9 👍

No turbo?

Nope, if you use a turbo then you get more torque but less power for the same performance points and this isn't as fast since it's harder to control the extra torque and you lose quite a bit on the straights because of reduced power at the top end. 👍

Ok thanks. That alone will be a huge help. I'm trying to get in the 29s with the ds3 but found it really hard to nail all the sectors on the same lap. This should help with speed and comsistancy. Along with the dirty oil I might have a shot.

Good luck with that, if you can do a 1:29 with a DS3 I will be very impressed! 👍
With dirty oil you can have more power and less torque and power seems to determine how fast you go on the straights. You can try my setup without dirty oil, just set the power limiter until you have 535bhp then change rear compression dampers to 9 and set the rear downforce to 52. 👍

Ty, i have filthy oil, just wasnt sure why :-D, power limiter at 99.8 531 bhp with your aero35/59
Think my oil must have been to dirty,could only get 525 bhp 
so changed the oil and used with no turbo and a mixture of everybodys settings and scraped a 1:30.927
533 bhp 1178 kg

Nice 1 Pmjg-I haven't logged on for weeks(seems like months HaHa)
I've missed quite a few TTs on the trot now but might be able to get a few laps in (work permitting)!!
Whats your ranking (as is) Buddy?
Knowing you,your not far from the top
P.S. Thanks for sharing. 👍

29's on a pad is doable. i'm down to a 30.372 i think? And if you check the replay it was a mess of a lap. horrible couple corners and i braked WAY to early where the chicane is on the other version.. Made a downforce and ballast change and i'm killing my ghost, but i'm a tad rambunctious and keep going off at the moment. Gonna take a break for a bit.
If i get in the top ten i'll post my tune.
edit... havent found time to dirty the oil yet either.. think maybe a tenth-tenth and a half throughout a whole lap??

Having read the comments on the tunes posted here I removed the high end turbo, upped the downforce and had a few tries.
Didn't work for me, kept getting killed on the straights, which account for a fair piece of this race.
So, back to the old turbo. Now running 550hp (89.3% power) and 1170kg, aero 26-46 and -13 / 0 height.
The rest is pmjg's original tune.
Anyway, using my adjustments I have managed a 1:33.132, bringing me down to 968th on the leaderboard.
So, if you like being around the 1,000 mark, try the turbo etc, ha ha.

Your getting burned on the straights because of your corner exit. Is it the tune or your driving? That's where I would start.

That was the first thing which came to my mind (my driving ability), however I did more than a few runs without the turbo, and with the higher down force settings, and they always ended up the same way.
In fact, I always crossed the start line slower, 255 - 256 or so km/h rather than 270 or so which is my usual with the turbo and lower wing settings.
Of course I fully accept that the non turbo settings in the hands of a more experience driver like pmjg etc are way faster overall (not sure what speed he is doing as he crosses the start line), but I prefer a little looser rear in the corners which the higher rear wing also dampens and so I guess I am stuck with what feels most comfortable for me.
Anyway, tried pmjg's new settings, except for the non turbo and wing positions, but didn't like the front toe at -0.21 so changed that to -0.05 and have now improved my time a little.
Now at 1:32.788 ... position 710.
Reckon I'll keep the turbo etc for now but will always look at new options as they arise. Appreciate your suggestions Rosckolove, thanks.

Not sure what the best way to go with setup is for ssr5.
Been chasing a few of the top 10 ghosts and think they have quite considerable differences in their tunes. I have full ballast and more power and catch some in the straights but loose more due to earlier and heavier braking in the corners for the extra weight.
Also need to tweak the suspension slightly for the extra weight. On a 1'28.6 still around 50th but if I change my gearing to a 6 speed this might help I think.
Do any of the top guys have any tips on suspension settings - I usually just use trial and error lol

Just looked at the ghost replay that Im chasing by gilles_honda v12 thats a 1:30.121,we have exactly the same speed down the straight,167 mph at the start line and 182 mph when hitting the brakes for the first corner.
The fastest time by shooter is 2 mph slower on the straight in both places.
As mentioned by others need the aero high for stability and braking,I tried with low areo and got 5 car lengths in front down the straight then lost it all by the first bend
and was so much slower.Worth having a look at the top guys replays to look at there corner exit speeds/braking points etc

Haven't done that yet but was planning to have a look at the faster drivers for comparison. Will do.
I just re read my post above, specifically this bit;
"I always crossed the start line slower, 255 - 256 or so km/h rather than 270 or so which is my usual with the turbo and lower wing settings."
Which is a mistake on my part, it should read; 265 or 266 km/h, not 255 etc.
In any case I accept that the higher wing load and no turbo is the best option for good (very good) drivers, and that beating your car down the straight is a hollow victory of sorts, but I just can't get near my best time without the turbo etc on this one.
But will definitely download one of the best guys and check it out. Thanks mate.
What power/aero settings you guys using on the hsv? I used a tune someone posted here and could only manage a 1:31.8, I'm running max aero and whilst following number 1s ghost I've worked out speed is the issue, he trounces me in the straights, any straight line and I just watch him pull away, corners are no problem, advice anyone?

Are you chasing the takata? The HSV won't keep up no matter what you do.
