That's it !!
I've found the fault to the Ford GT '06 on GT5.
Yes, I said fault.
I would say this will fix the Ford GT '05 in GT5 as well. Maybe even the race spec Ford GTs.
No amount of suspension or LSD tuning would have fixed the understeer (push) on mid corner acceleration, unless the fault was fixed first.
Before I continue, Id just like to introduce myself.
Im Fumes.
I have had just over 20years experience tuning race cars. And I have been tuning cars in Polyphonys GT series since the original GT game.
This is my first post and first tune here, but its far from being my first tune.
My usual haunt is GT Vault. Where you can find a large database of GT3 and GT4 tunes. However, as GT5 is a different beast, the site owner is not able to support GT5 tunes. Setting up the existing site to capture GT5 tunes was something too difficult.
So lets visit the Ford GT in GT5.
The problem with this car was the huge understeering experienced under acceleration out of corners.
I first saw this in the Seasonal events using a Ford GT 06 at Trial Mountain. There were a few clues to the fault, which has been bugging me for as long as Seasonal event bonus race 3 has been out.
First clue, as we all know, understeering in mid corner acceleration.
Second clue, no wheel lockups during hard braking.
Third clue, no change to understeering even if springs were at 5.0 front and 18.0 back, or reversed.
Fourth clue, no apparent change in handling when dampers and Anti Roll Bars were set at extremes.
Something is afoot here, I thought, and it smells like Electronic Assist !!!
And there you have it. What is the first thing we keep preaching about ASM? Turn it off !
However, PD have arsed it the wrong way around for the Ford GT'06.
For the Ford GT06, you WANT to turn ASM ON !!!!
Before you shout sacrilege or blasphemy ! Try my setup.
Now the car starts behaving like electronic assist are actually off.
We start to get lock ups under hard braking, the car reacts to tuning changes, and most importantly, it now accelerates out of mid corners.
So any other setup you see that asks you to turn ASM off on a Ford GT'06, you will know to steer clear off straight away.
Without further ado, here is my Ford GT'06 setup.
Max Power: 876HP/6900rpm
Max Torque: 750ft-lb/4900rpm
Weight: 1203kg
Body/Chassis:
- Purchase everything
- Aerodynamic Adjustment: 0/40 (Add Rear Spoiler)
Engine:
- ECU Tuning
- Stage 3 (optional, less hp on this car will perform even better with this setup)
Intake:
- everything
Exhaust:
- everything
Turbo Kits:
- Supercharger
Transmission:
- Top Speed: 236mph or 380kph
Drivetrain:
- everything
- Adjustable LSD
-- Initial Torque: 5
-- Accel Sensitivity: 5
-- Braking Sensitivity: 35
Suspension:
- Ride Adjustment: -5/-5
- Spring Rate: 12.6/12.0
- Dampers (Extension): 3/8
- Dampers (Compression): 5/6
- Anti-Roll Bars: 1/6
- Camber Angle (-): 3.0/1.0
- Toe Angle: +0.20/0.00
Brakes:
- Brake Balance: 6/6
ASM ON !!! (<-- very important! If you change nothing else, change this).
TCS 1
ABS 1
Racing Soft tires are required to tame this car with 867bhp.
If you have a car with less HP, this setup would work even better.
Cheers,
Fumes.
