Down to 1:23.091 after 450 miles/720km. I should make it into the 22's soon.

1:21.830 with these changes to the Setup, posted by @t_wilson01 :
Final Gear: 3.569
LSD: 5-18-10
Full downforce.
I definitely recommend going full DF if you're struggling with consistancy on this one -and it has turned out to be the fastest way too (for me anyway).
Thanks for posting
Also thanks to @shaunm80; a longtime great contributor to these threads!👍

It is my pleasure. I am always happy to help other DS3 users out with gold tunes. Some of them aren't to everyones style but they can be adapted to fit very easily. I tune because I enjoy it, its a bonus when a tune I create can be of use to someone else.

You certainly are posting tunes which are beneficial to many of us, Shaunm80, and like many others here I thank you very much for that.
I notice you say that your tunes are basically suited to DS3 users (which I had been since Gran Turismo began until a few months ago when I switched to a G27), however I find they (your tunes) work well for me with the wheel, albeit like many I make small changes to suit my style.
Do you think there is much actual difference between a DS3 tune and a wheel one?

I have no personal experience with PS3 wheels so I can't say from my perspective. However, others in my thread have said that 90% of the tunes I have created work just as well, sometimes better, with a wheel than they do with a DS3 so I will defer to their judgement as they are the wheel turners and know what they are talking about.

Of course. Unless you are using both you wouldn't personally know. I expect there may be some things which could suit one or the other better, perhaps even a lot in some cases, but as long as they keep working for me I'm happy.

Below from post #13 replying to someone who asked the same question above.

""Visit the Renault Sport dealer, it's next to the Renault dealer.""

Mind you it closes tomorrow.

I finished in 266th with a time of 1:22.926. It felt great to top my friends list by 0.001 seconds!

I reckon that if @gkgamer had noticed, he probably would have come back & knocked off another half a second. I was sweating, hoping he wouldn't come online (but I was still :censored:ing around in a testing lobby instead of trying to improve because I was firmly done with this).

The only other time I've really put in the hours on a seasonal I finished around 180th, last autumn. That was 700pp race cars (so the 2J) at Monza. I remember doing a few re-visits to the F3 at Madrid event but not as many as this or Monza.
This one felt at least as good as the higher finish because there were 4 of us who all had a few runs at it to try to beat each other.

Mallet, dude! Congrats! truth is I expected something like this to happen before the event expired…
Indeed, I had a short run to improve my time yesterday very deep into the moist night of Setagaya but couldn't best my mark in spite of some very encouraging splits.
Then I checked and saw your mark was still unchanged at the time so I thought maybe 22"927 would be enough to stay on top of our small group.
The first thing I did when I woke up this morning was to check my alarm clock to see if I had the possibility of squeezing a short morning run before going to work but I had overslept and was expected at the office.
Tbh I had put the "morning run" trick on Ob in the N24 time trial a few months ago, beating his mark in the morning before going to work and leaving him no time to try and beat it back.
But I feel I was very close to my limits on this track, Brands being one of the tracks I fear the most. My best splits combined wouldn't even have taken me to 21" land so I am just very happy to have been good competition for you until the last hours of the event.
Now, what 's next?

I did a few laps after setting that time & could improve on my ghost on any single corner but the replay looks good & I'd just had enough of it by then.
I'm not going to have enough free time to take another one seriously just yet but I do enjoy having a couple of laps at whatever they throw at us & watching the credits come in.

I try to keep a bit of an eye on these threads even though I'm normally "gold & out". Hats off to @nowcontrol for taking the time to put them together.

I have tried and tried and tried with this but I can't get faster than 1:28.052.

I've been using @shaunm80 's tune, which is the fastest I've tried but just can't crack this one.

I really want the paint chip so I'll keep trying until the event disappears...

Finally got the gold!

After clocking an unbelievably frustrating 1:27.022, I then changed the TC to 2 and the ABS to 2, and then went round in 1:26.652. It also helped that I figured the fastest way around the first few corners!

Thanks (again) @shaunm80 for the tune. You're a star!
