Hey guys, I have a touge viper and rx7 GT-X (FC)'90 I was just wondering if there is any tracks I can learn on??

Nordschleife. IMO the best track for testing/setups

I disagree with that. I'd suggest something a little simpler and easier to navigate. You don't test tunes on difficult tracks. It may give you false 'readings'.

I've been doing it on deep forest. It's good for trying out medium powered cars. IE 600ish pp.
 
In my experience, any car tuned for the ring will more than likely be rubbish everywhere else. As posted before me, Deep Forest Raceway is good, I also find Trial Mountain pretty good for testing set ups.

If you learn Spa on a low PP car first, you can tune your setups there. It's a very good track to improve consistency as driver and to test cars and setups because it have everything: long straights, low and fast speed chicanes, low and fast speed bends, hard hitting brake zones, etc.

To setup the balance of the car, Suzuka is a very good option too.

The problem with these two tracks is you have to do many learn laps to be confident on them, in order to discard your driving from the equation when testing setups and different cars.
 
I use tsubuka its a nice and short track and easy to be consistent whilst having both high and low speed corners. Deep forest is also a good shakedown too.
 
Testing set up and full tuning is why I miss Apricot Hill from previous GT versions. I found that track to be the best for developing great performance for any other track in the game. Minor tweaks for specifics was all that was needed later.
 
I'd recommend Trial Mountain, personally I use the standard layout.

Each corner tests different elements of the car and brings out different weaknesses without being too complex a track like the 'ring.

It's been my home course for a very long time for a darn good reason :lol:

Pick where ever you feel most comfortable and can set the most consistent times, however I'm putting my weight behind Trial Mountain.
 
for GT5 Husky has it correct. Trial Mountain has the best variety to test all parts of your set-up.
 
@ShootDaCar- I have a track on share it's named Mt. Akina. It's the track we run the touge showdown on.
 
At what point did he say he wanted a track to tune on? He wants to learn to drive touge roads. Running Nurburgring at sunset / night in my touge built Blitz R34 is a hell of an experience. Use something that'll give you oversteer such as a well setup s2000 or mx-5, it teaches you to get your power down out of tight corners, and carry a ton of speed through fast twisty sections. You can learn allot from Nurb, so do spend time with it, but your best bet is to play with the Toscana track generator, or talk to the guys who run the GTP touge series (king of the streets?), I know they have a great couple of tracks.

I wouldn't say kings of the streets but we do have a few good tuners and drivers participating. Hei and Slender_Man are present as well as myself. I too am still learning the craft of the Touge and have used it as an experience to better my driving and tuning. Btw, ShootDaCar those two Touge cars I sent you are glorified Drift cars. Driving them like drift cars is what they're meant for. After T400 is over I should have a retuned version of the RX-7 but the Viper is prolly just going to be a "I played with my snake and got bit" thing.

He wasn't talking about my Touge Showdown. He meant "Legend of the Streets". It's a Touge racing league the Slender_Man runs. You can find it in the "Clubs and Leagues" section.

Anyways, in regards to the OP, I suggest learning on various tracks such as those posted above. 👍

:scared: Is "600ish pp" really considered "medium"?!?!?
 
Drifting on the Touge is more of a tactic to keep your opponent from passing by taking up the most of the road.
 
Though it actually slows you down. IT also opens your car up for more opportunities to get damaged.
