500PP Asian Non-Racing Car Super Lap: Mid-Field Raceway

[DisabledRacer]

If you want to try for a Gold with something different than the Suzuki, give it a try it with the Toyota MR-S, Oullim Prototype, Hyundai Clix and the Toyota RSC. I managed Gold with all of them... Granted they weren't great times, but I didn't spend hardly any time setting them up, so I'm sure they can all go a good amount faster.

Great first laps on a track that I personally never drove! Thanks to a tweaked @WhoosierGirl setup, I managed to get a quick 1:15:364! Tuning at the end of the vid, enjoy!

Going to try that setup right now 👍

Well done Jogo!

 

[GTRacer22]

Using @nExx's tune, I brought my time down to a 1:15.847. The rear end is a bit happy, but controllable.

 

[Thematic]

Went round for an hour or so. Probably done here, got 1'19.493. Used a Z34 with wing (20), weight 1224 kg, 381 bhp, standard diff, fc transmission (260), conservative suspension (lowered 1 cm), no assists.

1:15:354 after 10-15 laps 👍

car needed little bit more rear traction on hi-speed corners

Managed 1:21:327 with R33 - simply love this car. And there's still loads of space for improvements

 

[Otaliema]

Added two tunes for the little Gixx for Mid-field. One is refined for he track the other is a base tune to allow you make the refinements to your style of driving.

Refined GSX-R/4 '01
Neutral Balanced Base tune GSX-R/4 '01
I lapped 1:16.716 with a bad start and couple of very bad turns so a 1:15 is in the refined setup. Both will get gold with little effort on your part if you just want to get it done.

 

[SVPSkins]

first i tried my S2000 but only managed to set a 1:22.1 but id pushed the thing to its max, so for first time on GT6 bought a GSX and set a 1:19.5 but looking at other peoples times with the GSX and there 5 seconds faster then mine, so there's still room for improvement. anyone know a good setup?

 

[steve nfs]

Which car, other than the GSX-R can go 1:15 ? Sure there is one ...

with a good setup i think the ZZII would do 1.15 with ease.

 

[bslate3]

I managed to get a 1:19.3 in the BRZ. Then jumped in the GSXR and got s 1:17.1

Now I'm going to try out some tunes for the GSXR.

The refined set up I posted for the GSX is capable of low 1:16's At least.

with a good setup i this the ZZII would do 1.15 with ease.

@praiano63 tune is the best general track tunes for that car, and it doesn't take much to turn it into a TT tune

 

[SVPSkins]

thank you Otaliema, ill give that a go =)

 

[SVPSkins]

Maybe a rocket could do 1:15's?

 

[Otaliema]

Maybe but you will be down on power. My 520 build has 200kg ballast and 93.7% PL already pull some parts or heavy use of the limiter to get to 500.

 

[Pseudopod]

A simple 1000kg minimum weight limit could have made this event interesting, but no, most likely another GSX fest.

Agreed.

The PP system is simple and usable, but I wish it wasn't the only performance statistic they used in every single race.

 

[Otaliema]

Agreed, it would also help if they rebalanced the system so that more then one or two cars at XXX PP dominated. I would love to see the top ten with six different cars for once.

 

[Pseudopod]

What I am actually the most worried about is that PD is seeing that an enormous amount of players achieve gold with a very large margin, and then "fix" this problem by making gold much harder, and in turn almost impossible to get by most players without resorting to the GSX.

Yeah that is a possibility, or they could do the right thing and nerf the GSX but that won't happen. They could do a very simple thing make a concept category for the game and move all concept cars to it and take them out of the road car category. A lot of little things details are broken in the game this is just one of car too many to mention nor is this right thread for that rant.
I don't think they will make the gold harder to get as this is has been pretty normal for any challenge with one total dominate car, the dominant car beats the gold by a large amount but there is large variety of cars that can get gold and do so fairly well.

Great job @JogoAsobi fantastic effort was top #10 effort Not sure if still top#10 or not ?

 

[K1LLD0z3R]

I like to avoid GSX-R, so I used @SW__10 NSX-R Prototype LM Road Car tune for 1'20.5xx for some good (times) fun. I believe it was a QM trial mountain tune. I will check and link if need be. Thanks again Grand Master Flash SW. I love all around setups.

 

[Alex Ojideagu]

Wow, first time I revisited this old girl. Fickle as usual, gives you the cold shoulder just before the turn to the tunnel...

And dumps you when you can't read her lines.....

 

[Speezly]

My first thought was 'oooh GSX-4 incoming' - that's why I dindn't use it. 1'21.968 with Impreza 22b for the time being, but could be better...

any Skyline GT-R would probably be easy and good in here.

What tune are you running on the 22b? That is my favorite car in game, hands down.

 

[numbnuts70]

All this hating on the GSXR and 2J started in the GT5 seasonals.

These cars were notoriously hard to come by as they were an extremely rare occurance in the UCD.

Now you can buy them at any time, it's all good as far as I can see.

Ok, they are the stand out cars, PP wise, but I actually like the Suzuki and if it wasn't around another car would take its place anyways.

If you want to try something Asian and fairly good for the PP classification, try the Dome Zero (1.19s) and the Mazda RX500 (1.17s) - both concept cars btw

 

[redsuns23]

I will post it later if you want (don't have access to console now) but it wasn't the best one tbh, had to try a bit harder than usual to get gold. I'll try to fickle with it and see if something could be improved, then I'll post it

 

[krasch27]

I dare say the GSX-R seems to be the quickest choice for this TT. I have tested a few different cars. The Honda NSX R '02 is the quickest for me so far (1:18:200).. Surprisingly, the premium Mazda RX-8 is not much slower. It may prove quicker with some testing - especially when you consider its initial PP, and the options of stage3 NA ,supercharger, or turbocharger. I'm not proposing it will outrun the gixxer, but it might be fun to see how many other peoples GSX R's you can outrank!
