2-Wheel Drive Non-Racing Car Super Lap: Circuito de la Sierra

[nowcontrol]

@Dalone .. You cannot post the link for your post into the OP yourself, I have to do that, but you need to go to the thread that has the original tune in it and copy that link then edit it into your post above your modified version of the tune and give credits to the original tuner [which is what I thought you were going to do when you asked how to do it], then I can appropriately add it to the OP for you. 👍

Wow, it's getting complicated now, thought I had done it. No worries, I'll have a look and see whose tune it was that I started with.
OK, done that and I have written in my 'car settings' that it is 'et' 's tune. But I have no idea what his original tune was as I have changed it quite a bit, even since I posted it.
Anyway, just leave it as it is, that's OK, I'm not claiming credit for it just trying to give others the opportunity to try a tune which works OK here as long as you aren't after 1st place. Certainly easy to get gold with if you can stay on the track.
Incidentally, I can stay well in front of you (for the first five minutes before I run off the track) however you kill me on the straights. Why is that? Which part of the tune gives you that speed?

My guess is that @nowcontrol is running the GSX with more horsepower and ballast than you.

The GSX is a little unusual in that adding weight and horsepower makes it faster, even on twisty tracks like the Sierra Circuito.

Tree'd by @nowcontrol , he's not using the Suzuki GSX!

If you look at the details of my lap from the leaderboard, you will see that I have yet to use the Suzuki and my lap was done with the Lamborghini Miura.

 

[Stotty]

Had an hour in the GSX-R last night.

The car handles really well (none of the super sensitive rear under brakes as it has on some other tracks), and I've done enough laps to know the 1st 2/3rd's of the lap - eg; I can stick with @SW__10 until c.6 minutes in.

But the last third of the track is killing me... shame you can't do the last half of the track off line to speed up the learning process!

Do you have a tune for the Miura?

I just purchased one for $15M and was thinking of giving it a spin at Sierra. I figure its time to make the Miura earn back its excessive acquisition price.

Thanks,

Ahh, fair enough, I missed that bit. All good.

I've been using the practice mode in the Sierra event.
Helped me get my head around the last half of the track.
The track is split into four so you can choose which sector you want to focus on 👍.

Rear braking lift off equating to massive oversteer have dogged the laps that I've done so far.

Tried a few tunes that were on my Suzy from previous TTs but every time I adjust anything that I think may make it better, it seems to get worse

Will have to give it a go again if I can face it

I'll post the tune I'm using tonight... not sure where the original base tune came from (maybe Ramon), but it's nice and stable under brakes and turn in 👍

I do use a bit of throttle overlap in some braking zones.

 

[nowcontrol]

@Dalone .. I have now reviewed the tunes from the two previous TT in which the Suzuki was dominant, here......

450PP Non-Racing car Super Lap - Tsukuba Circuit

Non-Racecar Super Lap: Mount Panorama Racing Circuit

You say your tune was originally based on the @et_ tune, but by comparison it is very different really, Tho the springs, dampers, and toe do seem to be lifted from @WhoosierGirl's Mt. Panorama tune.
I will add the link for the tune you posted into the OP and credit it as your own.

 

[ODB]

Oh man this track tells it all about my concentration capability, just a minute go I realized I went past the braking point when I suddenly woke up from a day dream "what was that in the side of the road? oh yeah, it was the braking point

 

[nowcontrol]

Later this evening when I next fire up the PS3 and select it for a run I will post the tune, right now tho I am going for a needed snooze.

Snooze? It's 4pm. Are you Spanish?

 

[Bluesman81977]

I've got almost 12 pm here. Anyway, i saw a suggestion to run the 54 Corvette C1 on this track. Just wondering if anyone had tried it and how it worked.

 

[eclipsee]

This is the GSX-R setup I used at Mount Panorama in case you want to give it a try.

 

[Lewis_Hamilton_]

I'll post the setup I used when I ran the Shelby Series One here for anyone that wanted to drive something other than the GSXR and still have a chance at cracking the top 100. The car is fantastic in stock trim, I only threw some adjustments at it without any prior testing and it worked great first time out, I don't think you could make this car handle badly no matter what you do with the setup.

The track and setup both suit my driving style of late brake with rotation > early turn in > early throttle. So if you prefer something a bit more stable under braking, lower the rear brake bias. Other than that, nail the throttle before the corner and stay on it, the car will keep turning. A fast clean lap in this will give that Miura on the leaderboard (8m:59s) a good fight. I see there's currently a Shelby up there with a 9:03, this car will go sub 9:00 if you can get the most out of it.

 

[croozer_63]

Anyone looking for a fun, fast car for this event, try the Opel Speedster. With a little bit of jigging, its fast and stable.

 

[SJC ALPHA]

Intrigued with the Shelby series one, bought one and used with no tune and driver options in default. I got a 9:43:578 first lap and I am below average driver. Would never have thought to use this, thanks.
I will see how I get on tuning and try to beat my 9:23:xxx.

With my own tune got 9:18:350, 819th place, really pleased.

I have just had a look at the tune I originally posted. It was a et tune however as I stated in my post I had changed it.
The gears remain et's except for the final gear (which suggests it was made for a tighter track?).
It looks like I used WhoosierGirls springs, dampers and r/toe (aftermarket if you like) but that was all as she and et had heaps of ballast which I try and avoid.
I posted the tune I was using to help others as I had not seen any other tunes for the GSX posted, although it turned out one had been.
I don't feel though that it is correct to say I 'lifted' WhoosierGirls tune, she posted her tune for others to use and I used some of the suspension settings from it, although I did not remember where they came from, mind you I have no idea how to set dampers so always look to others for that.
However where I come from, 'lifted', may suggest to some I stole it and in this context with a view to claim it as my own, which I never had any intention of doing. And I'm not saying Nowcontrol is trying to say I did steal it, just that some may see it that way.
In fact I regularly try bits and pieces of posted tunes to get my car to handle the way I want it to, but again, that is not 'lifting' someones tune, borrowing, is the word which comes to my mind.
The tune in question is a mix of tunes, et's, WhoosierGirls and my own, in that order, but I do not and never have, claimed it as my own. I just posted the tune I was using which is well capable of sub 9:30sec times.

Sierra Time Rally - Practice - SS3 & SS4

Arghh, forgot about this feature , will practice , practice, practice SS3 and SS4 til I know them like the back of my hand. 👍

Then look out J.A. I will be gunning for your 9:08.
If there is a TT for SS1 and 2 then I will be world champ Must have done these sections 3,000 🤬 times before crashing and restarting ( slight exaggeration)

 

[nowcontrol]

I do not mean it to be taken in such 'criminal' context, @Dalone .. it is just a simple way of saying that something seen/found in one place is then copied/used in another. I don't think anybody here would assume that is what it mean't, and as you say, people post their tunes for all to use, all of or just part/s of, and you never claimed that tune was solely yours in the first place. 👍

I would use the words 'stealing' & 'stolen' if I wanted to point fingers at a thief.

 

[Dalone]

All good Nowcontrol, perhaps I read too much into it.
Anyway I stated above that the amended tune I am using is capable of sub 9:30sec laps and I stand by that. Not that I have achieved that myself yet although I have just taken 15 sec's off my time to give me a 9:34.8.

 

[krasch27]

I found the RUF 3400S a great car for this TT. If you haven't quite committed the track to memory, its forgiving handling comes in handy.

What times are you getting krasch27? And to put that in context, about where are you usually on the leader board?
Above 1000, 500 to 1000, sub 500?
I am usually around the 500 mark but have only completed this race 3 times since I started and am currently around pos 3,000.

Hey Dalone.. I'm not as fast as you mate, I'm normally round 3500th-5000th in most TTs. This TT initially rattled me a bit as I was stuck on the gold time of 10mins with most of my favourite 500pp cars. I've hardly driven the 3400s before La sierra TT and was surprised to achieve a 9:55 first lap.
Back in the GT5 TTs I was a lot closer to your times.my psn i.d is licky72 .As we are both Aussies, I used to use your times as a benchmark. I miss that mygranturismo site with country and driving aid filters for all TT rankings..

 

[numbnuts70]

I was wondering that, is there anywhere that we can compare times from the leaderboards away from PSN/GT6?

 

[krasch27]

I'm pretty sure there isn't, unfortunately. The filters you could apply to the rankings were great. For example, you could find out how you ranked amongst the only the DS3 drivers that use no TC, ABS 1 and SRF off.
