Hmm, I might have to crack on GT5P tonight to give that a go after the showdown
I decided not to offer this tuning through "pm only" as the punters and idiots don't have the skill or desire to run this type of car at Daytona Road anyway. This is a man's car. Plain and simple. No short cuts with the GTLM.
Enjoy.
) and found myself turning high 1'47's. Surely someone could make this thing go 1'46. in free lap.
just wanted to say thank you for the GT-R update, only have time to try it at the weekend
Keep up the good work 👍
Thanks for the mention Raven, but as you'll have just seen in the message I sent you, you deserve much more recognition then I ever deserve for winning those races for your conduct, respect and general all round nice guy-ness ( I don't care that thats not a word ). Remember there's a person behind all these numbers and text, and he's a true gentlemen of GTP, be it on or off the road.
Can't stress that enough.
Good luck with DRT Raven, I hope you keep providing for the community (along with you other tuners!) for much longer to come
I always appreciate feedback. If there is anything you want to try from here in the future please don't hesitate to pm me.
I'm using Pad at the moment so maybe someone with a wheel can get this baby into the 1.46s.
The GTR tune is very impressive. I've made the brake changes and have noticed a great difference in the braking stability during the first turn. I've managed to run 1.47 flat but i think thats the best i can do
Great tune 👍 Stable in all turns
Hey I would LOVE to be on that list as well!!
Great tuning on F2007, I slightly changed frt toe settings to suit my sub par driving skills did a PB lap of 1'16.668. In same set of laps 3 other 1'16.xx laps. About a 1 sec improvement. BIG THANKS
GO FALCONS !!!

So I got a hold of this baby a few days ago, and took it for a spin around Daytona Road.
First thing you notice, before you even enter the track, is the usually extra-detailed description Ravenmaven provides with the tune. You can learn a lot just by reading the description. 👍
As for the tune, I have to admit that I was a little skeptical -- the gear ratio is quite insane, and the toe settings a bit more extreme than I usually see, but having driven Raven's tunes before, I've learned to trust the man.
Forgetting the numbers and taking it to the track, everything starts to make perfect sense. Turn 1, considered by many one of the trickiest of the game, is a breeze: the car behaves perfectly under braking, not a hint of over or understeering, which is really important here, because you'll be turning while braking.
The rest of the infield can be done quite easily, the tune is very forgiving, specially if you consider that you're driving a mid engine car.
The only part I found tricky is the bus stop. But I've had issues with the bus stop for a long time, so all I'm gonna say is this: considering the grip levels in a 550pp car, this is a superb job. My approach was to be a little more conservative in the first leg, since there's no scape area, I would only coast there, and be more aggressive in the second leg to get a good entry speed to the oval part. This car allows you to do that, as long as you don't screw up the entry points. Of course I did screw up from time to time, resulting in beautiful 4 wheel drifts, and even in these situations the car is quite easy to control.
To finish this review, there is one aspect that you can only fully appreciate in an online race: the acceleration. The aforementioned "insane" gear ratios are fully justified by what happens when you exit curves, or just fly past other drives down the straights. Within 2 races I was running sub-2 minutes laps, best was 1'59.5, without draft. I'm sure 1'58's are possible with a little more practice.
All in all, another great job by Raven. 👍👍👍
Sent a request for the NSX, look forward to trying it soon
