600PP GT500 Super Lap - Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca

[Growling]

Finally a 1:16.9!

Mini stiggys tune with 500 rear DF , And Lloyd's gearbox with a 4.240 final.

There is a god

 

[Mini Stiggy]

The amount of 14s I've just ruined is ridiculous.

 

[eclipsee]

There is something other than a pretty face... there's a tired, old man's face :ron:

Adding ballast again?

I had just under 400 miles on my HSV when I stopped yesterday.

You'll need to restore the rigidity soon, when I had 400 miles I was getting more or less the same time as you, I've already run more than 1200 miles.

Cute tushy????

no ballast here amigo... I'm built for speed, not for comfort

Yes, have restored rigidity and changed the oil... you're not using chassis strengthening are you?

1200 miles!!

Cute tushy????

I don't know, it's behind me, so I can't see it.

 

[eclipsee]

you're not using chassis strengthening are you?

Rigidity improvement? yes, I am, moreover, although it seems unnecessary, I'm restoring the rigidity everytime I change the oil, as @Konnichiwa said, this car needs more maintenance than Paris Hilton.

 

[Ed_Night]

Down to 1:15,474 (P15) right behind @Stotty .

I was using engine 3 + oil, but i can do the same times with the high RPM turbo. I think it just depends on personal liking.

With turbo the car is more stable, so you can drive more aggressiv without sliding to much.

@nebneb1978 : Thank you for the setup. 👍
Got a 1.15,329 (P9) with the HSV-Base Model and your set today.

Laguna ain't my best friend. Always having difficulty with the right apex in turn 2,3 and 4. And i hate the rest of corners as well. Atleast i can keep up with Ramon there :ron: But i made it into the 15's and i see potential to do a mid 15 but needs allot of work.


@Mini Stiggy @LLOYDZELITE69 (although yours gears are down the drain ) and @eclipsee for the new gears. I'm using 2.537 final. Think your using longer final, Ramon?

 

[eclipsee]

Think your using longer final, Ramon?

2500 here

 

[DTM]

2500 here

I thought so.

i've tried first 2550 then 2525. That made a difference, that is really ridiculous. There is probably somebody with an explanation. So let me say unbelievable

 

[Mini Stiggy]

15.020.

Grrrrrr

 

[DTM]

15.020.

Grrrrrr

Slowly getting there. You will make it. No worries

 

[Mini Stiggy]

I was over a car length up on my ghost, but I broke waaaayyyy to early for the second to last corner.

 

[Mamba]

Down to a 15.6 although I lost .15 in sector 1 that I always get but I loose it in the next few corners, so I see about .4 left for now, I just need to stay steady till the end of the lap.

Thanks for the gearing @eclipsee really works well however 2500 seems to be to stubborn on turn in for me, I like 2600 better . Good tune @Mini Stiggy

 

[Stotty]

Down to 1:15,474 (P15) right behind @Stotty .

Not anymore

Another go after work and improved again.

1'15.332 and 10th for now... challenging to maintain a ranking as everyone keeps improving!

Know how you feel

Was just a car length up to @Stotty approaching Corky. But guessed it. A couple of times i was only .15x behind and 1 time .04x at the last sector. Tend to lose a lot in those last 3 corners somehow. If i clean those up i'm on my way to a low 15. So far on a 15.5xx, getting the swoon

Btw @Mini Stiggy. That suspension looks a lot like the one at Fuji during WRS week 29 💡

 

[Stotty]

Good one... but don't go too much faster please, Dennis

That's where it came from. I was trying to work out a good setup, and I remembered the WRS with the GT300 car, so I wondered if it would work with GT500, and it does

Slow down

I reckon a 14.9 or 15.0 might be what you need to stay in the top 10 by the end

Theres another seasonal?

You should all switch to the other TT and leave this one.

(so I can have a chance of staying in the top 10 )

So it's no coincidence

No worries mate. I definatly not doing 15 dead or faster. I would be happy with a .2xx. Think you can do that.

Probably, I might loose patience though but I'll see

 

[Mini Stiggy]

Dat epic battle for 1st doe.
Lloydz up by .013

 

[Konnichiwa]

I've done one hour stint, @Mini Stiggy's setup, I've got
The damn .16 but I always blow up the fu..ng corkscrew, till then, I'm in middle .16, after corcks, I'm low .17...!!!!

I'll try tomorrow again, the gearbox from @eclipsee works amazing, and Stiggy's setup is a good combo, just need to practice better with tho combo, it hase a huge potential for me!!!

 

[t_wilson01]

The HSV on RH was not as big a pain as it's older sibling. Ran a 1:17.555 and I'll call it a day on this TT. I haven't been at the Nurb in a while, so I'm feeling the urge. Thank you Praiano for the tune.

 

[eclipsee]

You're welcome, F2600 has a bit more turn in and more punch but it's a bit more difficult to control the exit oversteer, F2500 uses better the powerband for the whole track but hasn't so much punch when exiting the corners, ah decisions ...

I'm at 2550
