600 PP Road Car Shootout @ Indy

[Onboy123]

So are you talking all gears, or just final, or just 6th? With my awful driving I could get nowhere near the limit, so I kept it ratio close to handle the road and lengthened 6th a bit for overall top speed. Wrong?

Well…I haven't tried it on the road course, but I'd say tweak the final, make it that bit longer and see where it'll get you. Do you drive AT or MT? MT makes it easier with cars like the 300C.

Old man with a DS3 running AT. Thanks for the help when I get home I might have to unshare and mess with it. Thanks again

I used MT for the first real time ever while testing the Murc. I've also got gears set up so it'll almost reach the limiter before the end of the Superspeedway straight, which does actually help acceleration a little. In case you're wondering the rough speeds I was at in relation to gears...

1st - 50-ish (never fully worked out this one, it only comes into play at the triple hairpins)
2nd - 85+
3rd - 110
4th - 150
5th - 170 (this is crucial for the speedway, the car won't hold to over 170 in corners for me)

Of course, this is just my idea, you use your own. You don't need to follow these speeds for yourself, just drive the car like you normally would.

I wouldn't even know how to run a MT (15+ years of running AT in GT world) maybe I should take some time off from the shootouts and try?

EDIT: it game MT I drive a 12 speed 8 ton truck IRL

It's definately worth it to try. Once you get the hang of it, you'll be a second or two faster just from the added benefits of being able to control your gears.

Alright Doc welcome to the party!

So what is the difference between the regular GT-R SpecV and the Academy version?

 

[krenkme]

Sorry again I had about 30min. to mess around with my car again so I did some tranny tweaking. For those that are building the cars, sorry, and for those that have run the cars and are done testing I am sorry. I'm done with it, thank you. Will be updated in post HERE. Have fun

P.S. Thank you Onboy and everyone else for pointing out I wasn't getting full use of the tranny. Still needs work, but I have a date with my two daughters and my wife so no further tweaking, thanks again (could be a good drag car maybe)

Good luck to all Tuners and have fun you Testers!👍

Well after all the time I had the "Phantom" offline this morning I ended up right where I started with it. Managed to shave about half a second off the road course time but ended up almost a second slower on the speedway so...put everything back the way I had it. Not sure if I was just having a bad day driving or if the changes made that much difference. Anyways its back on share now.
Enjoy the drive...or at least don't kill yourselves!
Good luck to everyone.

Here are my first results , i'll drive everyday all the cars again, when better laptimes i will update and change this pic, with the updated time in red.
I have also a report for each car that i will publish at the end.

Enjoy and congrats to all the tuners / testers. Don't forget this will evolute, positions will change if i do better times.

Points attribution System

Max speed at starting line: 280-290 kmh= 8pts // 290-300 kmh= 9 pts // 300 + kmh = 10 pts


Low speed corner:
entry 10 pts = agressive entry with little overster oriented inside the corner.

mid 10 pts = quick driving direction changes

out 10 pts = little oversteer with full early power allowing round corner out.


medium speed corner:
entry 10 pts = agressive entry with little overster oriented inside the corner.

mid 10 pts = perfect control of driving line with throttle ,eagerness , front entring corner when release throttle.

out 10 pts = little oversteer with full early power allowing round corner out.


High speed corner:
entry 10 pts = Sharp direction ,lot of grip oriented inside the corner to apex when release throtle.

mid 10 pts = perfect control of driving line with throttle ,constant grip ,no floatty (snake).

out 10 pts = When full gas, no little oversteer that make loose speed, no understeer that don't allow full throttle, perfect balance.

Good and steady driving line.

Oversteer under acceleration well tamed, very good car, just need to fine tune gears to be more eficient in certains curves, too neutral need a little induced oversteer under brake entring corner and mid corner throttle control to allow more aggressive driving style.

High speed corner:
Entry: 7 Middle: 9 Out: 9
Comments: Good line steady ,good grip, just take care if you need to brake hard before entring corner full gaz.

Good car , with a more equlibrate brake balance and a torque distribution around 40/60, it’s perfect , can gain 1 sc per lap on indy road. To much space between 1-2-3 gears,not good for low speed corner and retake.

Very technical car and delicate acceleration when turning. Very very fast, all this make it a very good challenging pilot car. Fun but need permanent concentration, do not forgive anything.

This car is perfect, but I can’t push it 100 % only for one reason. The brakes. I don’t agree with the 7/1 brake setting and ABS 2, the car brake well in term of distance,braking capacity , but they don’t help to the weight tranfer, to place the car playing with direction (brake and wheel),question of different driving style. To much front brake,to neutral for me. But it’s so fast, in my test the faster car road x oval combination.
