Exeter GT Tuning (Updated with new seasonal setups)

[shaunm80]

@Badger66 and @chrisspeed281, @Pete05

What did you make of the Subaru WRX STi '94? Was there anything on the setup which made the car a little sluggish or is the tune just right for the car?

 

[shaunm80]

Personally I was struggling a lot with the lambo on this track. I switched and tried your z4 and it was soo much easier. I put in some real bad sectors but still ended up with the gold after two restarts. Nice one, i really wanted the paint chip as always.

I got my best score 7300 with the Lambo, 7200 with the M3 GTR and I didnt do a run in the Z4. I really like the Lambo in drift mode, the sound of the engine screaming away is joyous!

I just could not pick up the points in the lambo this time around. It was harder to tame on this course than the the previous seasonal due to the type of track. However that z4 got me 7801 pretty easily

Im having some constructive time with new cars at the moment. I got another fast drift car in mind for the european challenge which may be better than the BMWs. Gotta set it up and test it first though.

Edit. 8032 points gained without breaking a sweat. Will publish tomorrow along with a few other new tunes.

 

[shaunm80]

The next batch of cars are going to be;

BMW M3 GT (BMW Motorsport) '11 (638PP RH)
Gran Turismo Ford GT LM Spec II Test Car (650PP RH)
BMW Z4 GT3 '11 (650PP RH)
Aston Martin DB9 Coupe '06 (Drift Seasonal Setup)

Hey Shaun,

I haven't tried it yet mate. I'll have to get back to you on this.

To be honest the Subaru works good as always with your Tunes. I don't feel something special. Yesterday i spend a lot of time with the Lexus at N24. Best Lap is still 10.11 min and all Tries to be faster ends in the Kitty Litter. Drift Events done with Gold and Silver. And Shaun by tuning the BMW Z4 GT3 try Camber setting. I use 2.5 front and 3.5 rear at my Z4 GT3 and it works i believe

I originally had the camber set to 2.5 and 2.0 on the Z4 GT3. I tried 3.5 and although it is safer, I thought the car lost some valuable time in the corner. I have gone for camber of 3.0 and that is a good balance between what I had before and the safety of a rear end that doesn't slide out from under neath you.

Thats cool about the Subaru. I am happy with consistency in my tunes.

Edit. I changed my mind and went back to 3.5 after doing a few laps of silverstone. 3.5 was slightly more consistent for the majority of the corners. Thanks

Hey Shaun,

I haven't tried it yet mate. I'll have to get back to you on this.

Thanks Pete.

Indeed. Thanks for putting me onto the 3.5 camber in rear, I saw how effective it was in the end. 2.0 was doing well generally but your suggestion worked much better. Cheers

Its all good, This is the reason I create so many tunes. A varied selection makes a single A Spec seasonal not so tedious when grinding out those precious credits. Good to know your enjoying the tunes.

You know what they say, practice makes perfect. Drifting is half art, half luck. You should try the European one with either the Ferrari 599 or the Lambo Aventador. They are really easy to get sideways and very controllable once they are. You never know, you may end up liking the drift seasonals.

To be honest the Subaru works good as always with your Tunes. I don't feel something special. Yesterday i spend a lot of time with the Lexus at N24. Best Lap is still 10.11 min and all Tries to be faster ends in the Kitty Litter. Drift Events done with Gold and Silver. And Shaun by tuning the BMW Z4 GT3 try Camber setting. I use 2.5 front and 3.5 rear at my Z4 GT3 and it works i believe

And the worst thing is going off the track near the end. I push quite hard as i know i have to knock a lot of time off if i want a gold, so i have gone off the track quite a bit, and given how long it takes to go around the time wasted on it adds up very quick! It is fun track though, and the car is challenging.

I am thx...I had other tunes on my cars before,but now I have found your garage I've overwritten most of them for yours...no disrespect to them they were good but yours seem to work better for my style of driving. ..and I do look at your garage first if I'm looking for particular tune...if you don't have it...I panic...lol because I have got use to yours I really do appreciate you doing this...it takes alot of time and hard earned credits...but it really must be a wicked buzz too for you thx again
