450PP Front-Wheel Drive Non-Racing Car Super Lap: Ascari

[GTsail]

Using the Integra DC5, I've just run a 2:19.291 lap and placed my self at exactly 100th on the early Leaderboard!

Subsequent update:
After five hours or so of relaxing by the pool at the Ascari Resort, I find myself sliding down the Leaderboard, so I put away the sun-screen and dump the sand out of my helmet and head back to the track.

After a few more laps, I run a 2:19.197 and move right back into 100th place on the Leaderboard

Great fun powering an understeering FF driver around the track!

Yeah its never gonna go anywere near the Integra , but its definately in another league for fun factor (squirrely under brakes kinda fun ) Were as the Integra is fast but boring as batpoo

I reckon low 2;20s out of yours

 

[Otaliema]

I'm surprised no one has mentioned this yet (I even forgot to) FITT Old vs New is a FF challenge at Côte d' Azure so the 450 (new) cars should be more the quick enough to get gold and more fun if your looking for alternative cars to the integra

 

[GTsail]

After a few more laps and some more suspension tweeks, I've been able to improve my time to a scorching 2:18.779, 90th place on the Leaderboard at the moment.

Great fun!

Just Hit 2:21.869 with this tune on the 2nd lap, Cheers @petaloudas



A slight improvement on my time, 2:21.523, by changing weight reduction level 2, added sports computer and finally power limiter to match the 450PP.

This is definitely a tuner event, and I'm sort of a trial and error type tuner. Which leads me to the age old question for the general audience: Is it worth putting a wing on a FF car? I'm going to try this tune later.

Getting closer to you using the DC5 at a 2:18.540. Keep over driving the last two right handers before the start/finish. Driving pretty agressive in the "S" sections of the last sector. Seems faster to me as I gain on the ghost I'm chasing. Have another.200-.300 in it at my skill level and time (5-8 runs a day if I'm lucky) I have.

Rear wing not a chance
Front spoiler yes
Flat floor no way
+1 rims yes
+2 rims no.

+2 rims no. 👍

Well, I had 3 out of 4 settings correct. Adding the rear wing went against my better judgement.

Watched your video, set my car up the same as you do and your car is in complete control at all times, mine is all over the place, wish I knew why...I cant even apply the brakes without spinning out.

It could be lots of things.
Toe out is too high
Front extension/rear Compression dampers are too high.
Front compression/Rear extension dampers are too low.
Too much ballast in the rear.
Too much camber.
The whole set could be too soft or hard for your skill level causing weight transfer problems.

I wish i had some "tuning skills", but the fact is i'm not good at all at tuning... just as you said, it's trial and error for me too... 👍

As @Otaliema said, no aero at all! 👍

I wish i had the answer to help you with that, but unfortunately i don't...
Maybe you are too aggressive with the handling? spend some laps to get the feeling of the car before you go for a "good lap", or just try to adjust the setup to your driving style...

Those are some really good times being posted by you guys. Here's my "Mr Slowly" lap.

edit: Posted new video.

 

[RobertM525]

A tricky event, but @Motor City Hami's tune here for the DC5 Integra got the job done well for me. (Gold, that is.) Got 11,496th out of 66,203 (I ran a crap lap first to see what the bottom of the leaderboard was). That would've put me in the top 17%, which I'm rather satisfied with.

Of course, that was last night. Now I'm in 12,051st place, but I also have no idea how large the leaderboard is now. (C'mon, PD! This is not a super-advanced feature.)

but I also have no idea how large the leaderboard is now. (C'mon, PD! This is not a super-advanced feature.)

In the meantime, before doing an event while you're having a quick snack/drink/smoke, plod along at <20mph to put in a slow lap and see where are you ranked, you'll be right at the bottom of the leaderboards.

That's what I did before setting my lap time (it's how I knew there were 66,203 people on the leaderboard the night I set my lap time). Once I've set my "good" lap time, though, there's no going back to do a slow one. Unless I used a different PSN account or something. (I've never done that before, but I've heard people allude to that on GTP.)

Guys that high on the list rarely share till the very end when the chance is low they will be over taken

Look, 3 days left, I hate this event, hate hate hate it. Tried the Integra, Megane, Hotted up Civic 1500.

I'd call it quits, but the thing of a thing recorded a 2:29.176, and I can't let it go with Bronze. Atleast silver, trying a hot NA 106, 447PP.

EDIT: Mid range turbo, full weight ballast rear, made it a perfect 450PP car, only managed 2:27.332

Take my Integra out for a spin I got two listed one is stable and friendly the other is a lift off rotation twister that will spin you if your not careful. Garage link is in my sig

Got gold with the Integra, going to do some fettling with the Celica to see how it stacks up

Well, did a few runs Sunday night for a 2:18.364 so just barley under your time. May try a few more runs at it, took 3 days away to gain .200 or so. Maybe another .200-.300 if I am super clean in the last section.
