A-spec Expert Level Racing Car Challenge: Nürburgring Nordschleife

[UltimateLurker]

Here is my tune for the NASCAR car that I used to win this event with.

Interesting car choice. What was your final time?

I thought the same thing, but it turned out to be incorrect for this track. I too used the 2J with a Praiano tune for a 7:01, but ran a 6:52 in the TS030, and it still needs some tweaks. Easy 6:45 car here with a perfect tune and a decent clean run. Not sure about what the aliens could run with it, maybe 6:35?

It's for sure now. Prob won't be home till 2ish but I'll update you when I have a better ETA.

Any chance you could share that tune you're using for the TS030? Thanks a bunch!

It's Praiano's tune I believe, with a few tweaks. I'll double check and post it when I get home.

I had a good race for gold with a C6, battling a C5 down the Dottinger Straight and into the final complex, the rabbit had no quit in him unlike the others and we was rubbin' and racin' real good. A 6:57 lap with a 1:16 time check at the Yokohama Bridge.

 

[Polsixe]

Used my goto car, the 2J....
The 2J is almost a cheat car. It'll beat any car with the same PP every time. So I'll try some other cars.

Not almost, it is a cheat car with 50-60pp hidden advantage and wins easily in any pp class down to mid 550s. It's a crutch, and similar to using aids. Do try other cars!

Sorry, don't remember what it was.

Would you mind posting the tune you used for the TS030? Looks like a pretty slick car. I'd like to try it on the Burg!

chrisdittmer, try this

75/75
14.01/14.92 - Full soft
1/1
1/1
3/3
0/0
0/.15

brakes 2/1

stock gears but FD at 3.900

LSD
10/27/20

Power at 88.5% or w/e for 600pp

Full aero so 600/850

Should get you started 👍

I took the Toyota TS030 out for a spin. I wanted to get one victory under my belt since I got slaughtered in my BMW Z4 GT3. I knew the TS030 would give me a win. My actual lap time was 6:33.157. It should have been lower, but I allowed myself to get blocked twice for a relatively lengthy amount of time. Bad driving on my part....

 

[joeledward]

Oh yeah, gonna grind the ... outta this one

What are thoughts on a 600pp race car A spec seasonal on Sierra ? Is it too much?

 

[DisabledRacer]

My tune must be off. 5 attempts, no better than 3rd. Under 7 minute lap time too. Switching to TS030 I guess.

I havent gotten it yet either with the Mazda. I ended up with A David and E Gross in the Toyota and McLaren. Theyre too fast on the straight. I couldnt catch their draft. They do a sub 6:50 together.

Strange how this game works at times. I tried one time in the Mazda LM55 with A. David on the pole and won with a total time of 7:05.435. Makes no sense how you guys go faster than me and don't win, while my slower grandpa style of racing won by 1.4 seconds? Maybe the game takes pity on me because I'm old and disabled?

 

[ALB123]

@DisabledRacer Hey! I'm disabled too (medically - I'm running on spare parts), yet I got my butt kicked in my BMW Z4 GT3! Where's the compassion GT6?!?!

 

[UltimateLurker]

Here's the TS030 tune I'm using guys. I'm not certain, but I think it started out with Praiano.

No excuse!

Bravo!

You are my new hero! I thought I was the only one crazy enough to try the Auto Union! Only difference being... I gave up after the second turn, when I couldn't get her to turn!

Thank You, It handles better the faster you go. I got it up to 220 mph on the long straight away. Just watch out for the curbs and grass and don't spin out it don't turn for S*** in 1st gear, that's the only drawback other than that it I like it 👍

 

[UltimateLurker]

I change the top speed to 186 (not sure it did any good or not), and added TC of 2. I like the results of the TC for sure

I wish I could get the car to go past 180 mph on the big straight, I'm probably losing 5-6 seconds there. I'm going to try to change the top speed and add some weight, maybe I can make the time up.

 

[UltimateLurker]

No excuse!

Dude, I hear you, but man, I feel like I'm at such a disadvantage. Then I look at some of the top guys using the, gulp, d-pad? Just wow. Blows me away to even think about it.

 

[DisabledRacer]

I have a new motto: IF YOU CAN'T WIN, TAKE IT OUT ON THE AI!

Take a guess which car I'm driving in the first picture below?

Road hog.... That's me!

 

[Teflonicus]

What I really wanted to do was put the stupid AI TS030 into the wall at the end of the straight. I missed though and accidentally won

 

[0r3n]

OK so other than the TS303 and 2J.. I wanted to test out a couple of cars with a reasonable rabbit (c (athy) Freeman )... the Ferrari P330 is fun but tricky. Takes a lot of concentration on this track (overtakes have to be really clean)....the McLaren GTR TEAM K is a rocket but my favourite so far is the Mercedes CLK Touring... ..not as fast but so enjoyable to drive (@praiano63 tune)... making some decent coin too...

 

[Wolfboy748]

After 13 goes at it getting to half 12, I managed it with a Praiano tune.

Then I had an epiphany just after. Like the dip**** I am, I wasn't using the car TS thingy everyone is on about.

That was at 1am with no tune. Tried again just now, again with no tune

And I'm pleased I'm not as rubbish as I thought I was. Is Praiano the best tune for this car?

Did you mean SRF (Skid Recovery Force), by chance?

As an aside, many of us don't use it on principle.

No, I was using the '99 TS030, not the 2012 one.

 

[Thematic]

No, I was using the TS020.

FTFY

I used a random FTO (not stock, not tuned).

Thank you for that...

 

[sheene76]

Loved this one, 7.35 in the Impreza gt300

 

[DisabledRacer]

OOOPS! I'm not gonna beat A. David upside down....

 

[Thematic]

That's cool but can you put it away somewhere, it's too huge to load every time I open this page.

I think I going to put a footnote about image size in the OP for all seasonal events from now on as these huge images do get a bit much for my connection too, and i'm sure there are many others who have the same issue.

Mine are only slightly larger than those, but I'll be sure to make them smaller in the future.
