McLaren F1 Stealth Model (first tune)

seoulteamwork · Nov 29, 2010

Overview:Sacrifice some speed for total traction and control
Parts you'll need:ALL the best parts (even stage 3 engine)
Tires:Racing Soft

Aerodynamics (buy it from GT auto):
Front:50
Rear:70
This is the maximum setting for control

Transmission
Top speed: (I prefer 205-261)
It's impossible to hit 260+ even on Daytona (stock)

Adjustable LSD:
Initial Torque:60
Accel Sens:60
Break sens:30
Again, more traction at the cost of speed and understeer. Break sens is lower because it's halfway between total oversteer in the corner and better performance in the corner...I'd suggest using a lower setting for Break first

Suspension (fully customizable)
Ride height: -2 front//10 back
Spring rate: 14.7 front//19 back
Dampers (ext):4 front//8 back
Dampers (comp):2 front//6 back
Anti roll:7 front//1 back
Camber: 3.7 front//4 back
Toe:0.30 front//-0.10 back

Brakes
Front 4//6 Back

Basically you set the LSD to maximize traction at the cost of understeer, but then compensate with setting the suspension to oversteer tendencies

Assists:Traction control:1, ABS, 10, ASM or anything else:None

Would this work for the normal model as well with all the best parts?

seoulteamwork · Nov 29, 2010

I don't think there's a difference apart from maybe the decal's and what not, so hopefully

Hey thanks for posting this tune. It works really well. You say we sacrifice speed, but I haven't come across a car that can keep up. The handling is very tight, but also very twitchy. This car is a nightmare and a blast to drive at the same time. If you can calm yourself down and concentrate it's awesome. I imagine a real McLaren race car wouldn't exactly be easy to drive, so it's no problem for me.

I find it performs evenly on most courses, except for de la Sarthe...the track is very bumpy and stiff settings make for a lot of vibration, but none the less, hammer down on the straights and the car does what you want it to do.

The other is Nordschleife...it's very twitchy here. I find that some softer settings work better, but I still have issues on this track, mainly because the track itself is challenging, but the car is set up too hard for it, I believe.

All in all it's a great tune for your first attempt, and thanks for posting it.

GT Auto doesn't sell any aero parts for this car.

seoulteamwork · Dec 2, 2010

Yeh i forgot it came stock :x

CHeNoN · Dec 2, 2010

thanks for posting this tune, the car feel really good in corner.

bambam26 · Dec 3, 2010

This tune is perfect for my driving style. Just wanted to say "Thanks". I am doing some of the best laptimes I have ever done with this setup.

smalbiggi · Dec 4, 2010

Wow! made that million I spent totally worth it. Thanks! :dopey:

Yeah GT Auto doesn't sell any aero kits. But thanks for the info on the rest of the tune.

imaweirdo · Dec 5, 2010

I dont think you can upgrade the engine or turbo.

seoulteamwork · Dec 5, 2010

you can upgrade to stage 3 engine
turbo idk

Bernisapp · Dec 5, 2010

This is a great tune.

ericeng91 · Dec 6, 2010

thank you for the tune!! It works really well.

If I had to make some constructive criticism though, it would have to be that the car bounces too hard when going through bumpy sections. It feels like it is going to fly off to the side if i hit a slight bump in the rode (especially at la sarthe). I don't know if changing the spring rate or something would help this. I don't really know how to tune a car. But hopefully I can help you perfect your setup with some feedback.

seoulteamwork · Dec 6, 2010

I hardly ever use my F1 anymore because of it not being able to keep up in races like "Like the wind" but if i have some spare time ill work on it
Thanks though kinda surprised how well it's being received

ericeng91 · Dec 6, 2010

it doesn't keep up in like the wind? i'm surprised. this car destroys in a straight line in all the races i've done so far. but then again, i'm only level 17(?)

Your tune is perfect, havent lost a race in GTmode and only car that beat me online is my friend's Fully tune Veryon and only on straight lines. Hope to see more great tunes from u.

Tharain · Dec 6, 2010

Once you get to extreme it starts to lack speed as the other racers are using LM cars

...just tuned the zonda though

AH that explains it. I'm still one under extreme hehehe. Would love to see the zonda tune bro if you could

You cannot install turbo or superchargers into the Mclaren, I guess polyphony was following Gordon Murray's naturally aspirated principles when he built the Mclaren in '94.

Its more of a matter of Extension or Rebound Rate, try lower that by a click or two.

jjohan35 · Dec 7, 2010

LSD settings way too high. You've sacrificed way too much maneuverability. I'd use 30/60/30.

seoulteamwork · Dec 7, 2010

^Yeah seeing as it was my first tune I didn't really know about LSD what i know now

YaBoyRob · Dec 7, 2010

great tune. I like it better with 30/60/30 though....great job.

zyril · Dec 7, 2010

hey seoul, i am trying to use ur settings for a race in Nürburgring Nordschleife. Is there any numbers I should adjust for this map? Caz the car is pretty unstable at high speed minor turns and i always spin out of track (or maybe I just suck

)

Just used this tune and wanted to say thanks, made the f1 alot easier and predicatable to drive for me.

TheDabbinDave · Dec 7, 2010

I think the higher the LSD values are, the more unstable the car will become.

Honestly all the tunes i make end up sucking for Nurburgring so.... :/
Only thing i could suggest would be a higher aero setting and a higher Initial Torque setting for the LSD
