Obviously this isn't the car in question... Just testing out if I can share FB images on GTP :)

I added the HP modifications to try and get this car to 450pp to race online, but when I took it out for a drive I found that it had wicked oversteer and it would only brake in a straight line. So I made modifications to try and remove the amount of oversteer and also changed the brake balance such that it was biased towards the rear. Also a lot of wheel spin coming out of turns so increased the initial torque on the LSD to 35 which seems to have helped a lot.

Handles very nicely around GVE-R. Quite happy with my first tune. :)

GVE-R: 1:15.126

Notes: This setup is running around 443PP so I might apply a stage 2 weight reduction.

CHARGER 440 R/T '70

500PP LIMIT

GVE-R: 1:11.582

Notes:
4/23 - Still needs a lot of work..
4/24 - I feel this car is understeering with the current settings, but maybe due to the high torque trying to adjust to counteract the understeer results in oversteer and I'm finding it difficult to improve these settings. Throttle control very important when driving this car. I am thinking the front spring rate is too high with respect to the rear spring rate. Will need to tweak this on the next outing.

Again this tune is set to 450pp. This car started off with massive understeer so had to make fairly significant adjustments to the suspension. The ballast was put in place to meet the PP criteria but with the ballast, it should probably be moved back a little as the car is still understeering with the current settings.

Give that a shot... Lightning is massively nose-heavy and so will prefer a noticeably stronger front spring vs rear spring.

Sweet thanks I will try this.

It looks like you don't change any camber and toe settings at all... any reason why?
Mainly because I am a noob. But secondly because I want to adjust them last out of all the suspension settings. Not sure if this is normal though. These tunes are just all WIPs :)

I mean no offense by this, but... I feel like, until you can post a tune, that can't be improved blindly by someone who's never driven, or even owned it in game, within 5 minutes, for again of an entire second in lap times, that maybe you should restrain from posting tunes, until you've had a bit more experience.

Comma skills!
 
What I tought... I deleted all my tunes because I felt they are rubbish and now I work on some I really feel they improved a car...

Your idea of tuning the camber and toe in the end is not wrong but do it and post the tune after this. I don't know if I do it right but I set toe and camber to 0 and the increase from there until I feel comfortable... same with the LSD I start like Motor City Hami suggested somewhere with initial 10 and accel/decel 5 and increase accel and decel then look at initial...
 
Thanks for your feedback guys.

Adrenaline - Like I said in my original post, it is just a place where I am logging my tunes as opposed to an excel spreadsheet - they are not intended for use by others but people are free to use them as they wish. And also, tunes obviously depend on driving style so a tune for a car may be crap for someone and great for someone else.

Also my tunes are specific to the races I run, so I am not adding all the performance mods.

BTW I think my tune for the SVT is better than the one posted by Rotary Junkie (although I did increase the spring rate at the front based on his comment).

450PP LIMIT - need to limit.. Currently 463PP

GVE-R: 1:11.13

Actually ran 1:11.25 with only ride height set to -20/-20 and spring rate set to 8/8 and everything else default and took me a long time to beat that time. Running quite nicely and maybe only need to adjust LSD settings now.

dont pay attn to the knowitalls, depending on your driving style, having a softer front than the rear can be a good thing with the lightning and all the trucks, helps rotate (turn) an otherwise plowmobile. just ask the people whose sports cars i beat with my trucks. find what works for you.

Mmmmm bit confused on the supercharger as its not available for this model
 
I copied and pasted the template from another tune so I will check it when I get home. Thanks for pointing it out.

Edit - Have fixed the tuning for the Quattro... No turbo or supercharger added.

Wow, it really does seem like you are a jerk everywhere you go.

Instead of telling others not to post their tunes, why don't you post improvements to this tune, or offer ways that you think this tune could be better.
 

That is kind of funny, since I didn't really say, "with all due respect". I don't really see that any respect is due. Fatrabbit has offered a tune for the car. You have not. In that absence, he gets my respect for trying.

Contrary to your opinion, though, this thread isn't about you. If you aren't going to offer any suggestions for making it better, then please see your ego out.

As to the tune, I did try it last night, Fatrabbit. I tried it on one of the Mt Aso tracks and I tried what I call a Swing Blend on Autumn Ring Mini. The Swing doesn't have an LSD and uses the default settings on the Height Adjustable Suspension.

Clearly, I have no idea how to make a tune better. It could almost have a randomize button on it. But I can't say as your tune was dramatically better. I didn't try them on the same course, though, so I can't compare lap times.

The LSD would keep the back-end in check at times. But it did it at a dramatic cost to peppiness, so I didn't feel any faster than I did just feathering the throttle.

Some of the Swing's peppiness over yours may have also come from the horsepower. The Swing ends up with ten more BHP than yours, so I had to use a little more engine limiting. There is a sweet spot in engine limiting when you've flattened out just enough of the curve to give you a very broad power band without smothering the engine.

p.s. I took them both around GVE-R this morning for three laps. I was able to get yours to 1:16.241 and the Swing to 1:16.360. Since I'm not very consistent or good, I'd count that as margin of error. But, I will say, yours was quicker through the first sector, and that is worthy of note. In that section, I'm staying in high gears, but I'm not going flat out. It is slower through the rest of the course when I can go flat out, and feather the throttle slightly to avoid oversteer.

Whoosh!
I'm the one who said 'I mean no offense by this' to fatrab, that video was just a funny way of justifying my standpoint. (Which the OP already agreed with, so your point is invalid.)

As for this thread being about me, I made a single post over a month ago. You made it about me, by necro posting with me as the sole subject.
