This one is fun! Powersliding LMPs are always fun.
Also I have a hunch that this will be the last time for awhile that I'm ahead of @hotsaucer in a time trial.

 

[beau231]

Already beaten my 1:03.690 best lap here from the last time trial on the first day

 

[dingodile_r89]

Y'all are aliens. Trying to do this with a stock R18 TDI has yielded a bronze and a lot of frustration emanating from violent oversteer.

 

[purpdino]

Use the Pescarolo C60 Hybride Judd '05. Super easy.

 

[Kossie]

I make a 1:06 at the 5th try. First turn is tricky. But this is fun

That's mad fast. (By the way, are you remembering your old time or did you post it in the previous thread?)

This one is certainly all about flow. Miss an apex by a meter or two and it hoses you for multiple corners. At 1:05.1xx for now, with probably a second or so left to pick up. Good luck out there mates, this is a fun one!

The stock differential settings are rubbish on race cars, but especially so on the R18 - you're right that they will have you spinning every time you touch the throttle. Have a look through the tuning section of GTP - or take the excellent advice from @purpdino and use the Pescarolo

I posted a tune for the Pescarolo elsewhere, if you're using a DS3. I think I've now increased the spring rate by 1.00 at at both ends for better stability. Haven't tried it for this TT, but can't imagine it'll be too far from a gold time. You can see how "wrong" the stock diff settings are: 10/40/20 vs 8/6/25, and it's the acceleration setting (40 vs 6) that will cause you to spin the R18.

I have it set to 10/20/20. I use a G27, it's still very annoying to drive. Doesn't help that I dislike Apricot Hill. I leave the suspension settings on stock. I just give up after a few tries and just hotlap the Nürburgring for a while.

20 is way too high for the acceleration setting. If you watch the tyre graphic as you hit the throttle, you'll be lighting up your outside rear tyre. That's one of the things causing you to spin out. The second is suspension. Most of the race cars have a very soft front suspension as stock, which causes the front end to grip too much relative to the rear. They generally have a near 50:50 weight distribution, but if you don't want masses of turn-in oversteer you'll need to stiffen the front springs. I'd expect it to be more manageable with a wheel than a DS3 but if you're struggling, it's something else I'd recommend adjusting.

 

[GT40 MKII]

I can only manage a 1:11.741 then my c60 goes to crap. Ive done about 20 laps at the time of this post.

 

[Retiree]

1.06.973 3rd lap in the Pesco Hybrid po 33, couldn't believe that so I checked and already had gone to po 34. Best I've ever been but tomorrow will be another story.

Great stuff. Anyone got a tune for this beast here.

dude you are an alien...lol

 

[Benny44]

I didn't use the big Pescarolo, but the second one (C60 I believe- upgrades to 692pp) because I didn't want to spend the money. I'm not an exceptional driver, just using a DS3, and I was able to get gold after about 10 laps. Bit of a handful, but fun.

 

[Kossie]

because I didn't want to spend the money. .

Lol, If you drive 3 QM events you have the money to buy this car.....

Edit: I make a 1:05.869. But man that Beau is so fast here. Is this a grinding car?

used this setup , thx @oooMaXimumooo

used this setup , thx @oooMaXimumooo

Aha I using the high turbo. Go try the low tomorrow. Is that really faster?

I didn't say I couldn't afford it haha. I'm just a cheapskate and I don't like spending money on these things....I have one car left to buy of the top 15 most expensive.
And, I find these seasonal are fun to see what you have in your garage and see if you can make it work. Having a different car than everyone else makes things interesting.💡

Fantastic time mate, You are lucky that the 2X is not possible 👍

That would be fun tomorrow...

This is funny, I came here to look for a setuo

 

[hotsaucer]

@beau231 am I right in saying someone in the top ten last year didn't use the P60? Perhaps 905B? Great driving too bud

 

[beau231]

Yes, I hate the 2X

@beau231 am I right in saying someone in the top ten last year didn't use the P60? Perhaps 905B? Great driving too bud

Everyone in top 10 used p60, 905B was closest to it but you couldn't get 1:03s with it

 

[McLarensFinest]

Got me a 1.05.013 for 14th then the next lap was up 8 tenths and thought I was a hero and thought I could go flat out last turn ended up hitting the wall then almost in the pits fun times lol
