Have you looked at this?

wow, what is the deal on tires, do the ones that cost mean less handling under braking? or more professional handling i guess?

i need a legend, ps is horsepower? fr is front wheel and MR is (rear) ? i am surprised that the ford gt 06 and ford lm spec are both MR as the gt handles great and the spec is awfull so that is confusing

i am still bothered by how big of a difference there is in handling with the same car and set up when on event vs online racing...
not sure why but it is confusing and annoying

FR = front engine, rear wheel drive
FF = front engine, front wheel drive
MR = mid engine, rear wheel drive

N tires are the worst, economy
S tires are average, sport
R tires are the best, race
 
The Tuned 'Vette at Daytona 800PP online works great. You just have to work on the setups, you can't go all the way to 800PP, try like 798 or 799, if you start close to the front it is much easier to stay up there, because no one in front of you crashes.

Work on everything HP, weight, tires, downforce, camber, gear ratios do the most work. Turn 5th gear into an overdrive where you use 4th in the corners and 5th on the straights. You can pull off 43 second laps at daytona without any draft. I started at about 46 seconds and shed off almost 3 seconds by changing my setup.
 
At Daytona the Z06 /tuned is the car to use, put the PP all the way to 800, utilize the draft from cars in front and know that when you cross the finish line you worked for it and that you crossed the start line at the beginning of the race anything upto 12 seconds behind the lead car. Dropping your PP to obtain a higher grid slot is frowned upon, if you feel your talent is limited and the need to drop the PP to avoid crashes make sure you do not race in GTP scheduled races with the lower PP.

I raced you at Daytona last night and you were not using 800pp.
















You must have had 900pp the way you pulled away from me :lol:

You nearly had me then till i saw the bottom part of your post. :)
There's only three cars i use at Daytona, the Z06 /Tuned, which does not need to be droped lower than the rcommended 800PP, even starting last and at least 12 seconds behind the lead car in a 12 grid race it's enough to catch lead pack UNLESS it's those kind of people who feel the need to drop the Vette's PP lower. The GTLM /Tuned is another with no need to drop the PP what it lacks in the straight compared to the Vette it makes up for in the bends. The Amuse is the only one where i do drop the PP by 1-3 points, this car is so underpowered starting with 800PP and with most people dropping the Vette's and GTLM's PP you would be just making the numbers up, the Amuse is a good 2 seconds a lap slower than the Vette in freeair but by starting with the lower PP you get to mix it up with the leaders or mid pack and let's be honest it's bad enough when an event comes along and is dominated so much by one car at least now we can have 3 cars in the mix. 👍

Agree 100%, i use mostly the Amuse but always at 800pp, i tried the Corvette but could not quite get the balance right, the Amuse is as you say two seconds a lap slower but i find it easier in a 10 lap race to use.

EDIT.

I just noticed you posted a tune for the Amuse in the tuning section, will give this a go tonight, at the moment i average around the 44s i hope this tune may help a bit.

Ive got 2 editions of the Vette, sent a pm with the first Chunkee Choone i did for the Vette, that's the one i have sent to a few GTP members, the 2nd edition is what I'm using and still doing fine, very fine tweeks to gut the time down more, down to a 42.694 maybe a little more left

Thanks mate, i will try both your tunes tonight and report back 👍

Hey ... My tune and choice of tires limits me to 798... R1's S2's... I drop hp lower only when a lot of bashers are about. Dropping pp is frowned upon? Honestly that's news to me, but I hear you. When I find myself behind because of a mistake, either by me or another I then run to see how fast my laps are compared to the leaders, if I'm falling farther back then I have work to do to correct it. I noticed you in a couple of races yesterday, next time your on I'll make sure my pp is at 798, maybe you can do the same and give it a go.

With this tune I have max hp, can hold a line and while there are some faster/more skilled I will in a clean race have to be taken into account :) Run very low 43's clean air, best clean air lap 42.84, best race 7:14.2xx best no draft race 7:16.0xx.
I think I could keep up:)

Would that be on the Corvette? if so i admire you, i cant keep the back end in check with R2's letalone S2's.

Yup, on the Vette. Are you saying your using R2's on the rear or front. I can't keep the car straight at low speeds using the R2 S2 combo, if I can get the car up to speed, read that as making it past the first turn :) I can race fine, but it is very tricky and more often than not I windup out of the race by the 1st lap :(. Using R1 S2 works really well, less oversteer and max hp and yes it will hold it's line in the turn. The one prob. is you can't get it to 800pp unless you lower the aero or raise the weight, both throws off the set up... so I run it at 798 a tick or two less if bashers are about.

R2's front and rear mate, it gets a bit twitchy on turns two and three so i cant imagine using S2's on the rear :nervous: will be using Chunkys tune this evening so i hope this will improve it :)
 
I got a tire combo from a bud, R3s frt and S3s rear. Pretty stable an can win a lot as long as I dont start 12th because everyone sets pp at 790 ish so to start up front. thats why the current format of single file rolling starts really is a deal breaker for me. Referring to the tuned ZO6, set camber around 1.2 frt and .65 rear and very little -toe.Downforce all the way front springs really soft 1 or 2.
I really wish the pp system would be set so that you MUST have your car exactly at the pp # set for race, so no more guys going lower just to start up front. Because lets face it if you are way back in the grid chances are pretty good that a few cars are going to crash,or decide to run the track backwards or etc,and you are 12 sec back with no one to draft off of.

Corvette Z06 Tuned on R3 with 800PP please. Don't do like most of the people who put lower PP to start in front of the grid.
 
tuned on R3, what is R3. tires?

i am never in front so dont worry about that :-)

In the quick tune menu you can select what tires to use,

R3
R2
R1
S3
S2
S1
N3
N2
N1
They all have a pp cost envolved,the R3 being the highest,and giving the most grip,the pp value goes down as dos the grip with R3 most N1 least.

Hey DaddyV,
R1's front S2's rear, stable when up to speed, but if you crash just forget about winning as it takes awhile to get going again at speeds below 130 or so it just doesn't like to stay straight :grumpy:
I agree about single file rolling starts, make it in rows of two from a standing, that would take away a lot of the advantage from a lower pp and would make for some pretty interesting starts. :scared:
It seems I use a strange tune on mine, same goes for the GTLM...
On the tuned Vette toe is set at -.20 and -.25
with the camber 2.0 and 2.5, full aero with min. weight. I can then max out hp and this gives me a 798pp and the only way to get it higher would be to lower the aero or raise the weight, which throws off the set, which I just won't do. Oh and springs and damper both set at 7 front 6 rear. DaddyV I run very low 43's with a sprinkling of high 42's in clean air and with draft I have it in the high 41's at times. I just ran maybe a dozen or so races and with the exception of the first couple, I ran it at 7:17 to 7:19 with a 7:21 thrown in when I started in the 7 hole. All this on a six axis, not bad, but some are faster still. :lol:
 
With the Amuse you can use R3's all around, max out the power and use min weight, i adjust the aero to get to 800 pp, using Chunkees tune i manage low 43's :)

No doubt about it the Amuse is a great car, my problem with it is that at the D it's top end speed. Even with max hp your not hitting 220 clean air down the straights, if you lose the draft you'll never catch a decently driven Vette that is at max hp. Maybe I shouldn't say never, but I have yet to see it happen.
Hope to see you on the track, I'll be looking:cheers:

You are right there mate, unless i have a draft i hit about 205mph but it will corner faster than the Corvette and that is where i normally catch the draft going into the straights, will look out for you tonight mate 👍

Nope, not tonight as I work overnight my time and I'll be going to bed fairly soon.
I will be on sometime tomorrow a.m. eastern standard time for a few, need my speed fix:cool:

LOL have a good night at work, i am just opening my first cold beer here in the UK :sly:
 
I tried an R2 frt S2 rear setup on the ZO6 tuned and I was a little quicker overall. With that setup you have to really mind your line and REALLY watch it in traffic, can be a little on the twitchy side but it is fast. Won a race against an old buddy last night with that setup,he was running the same and we nearly lapped the field.
