FIA GTE Laguna Seca 200km

[paulmac2k9]

Uh.. T3 (Fast right), T5 (Left kink), T7 (fast left after corkscrew)

Other turns I go off on too but these are the main ones its under/oversteer in the Evora in these. In the 430 I still manage to understeer off at these places and the 458 is similar to the Evora only less understeery.

A bit rubbish explaination but these corners have allways been a 🤬 to me.

 

[Adam41]

I'll try make a less oversteery Evora tune tomorrow Damn cambered corners.

People already have been posting times. For the AM category you're looking at something around 26 seconds, in the Pro category aim for laps under 24 seconds.

Struggling with ridiculous oversteer in the R8 LMS at the Corkscrew and final corner.

Anyone managed better than 1:24 yet?

 

[Adam41]

If you're struggling at the final corner it's definitely your right foot more than anything else lol. I did a 1:24.8 after a few laps with the tune posted in the google doc.

Yeah. I am one with a 'heavy foot'

Again I just want to say the amount of effort you guys put into these is phenomenal and is truly the best GT5 has to offer, the organization and layout is great! Sadly I can't commit to these things as my schedule is always changing.. Best of luck to you all and have fun

 

[MiuraSV]

Ad can you put me down for Elder berry pearl effect for the body and black metallic rims.

Thanks.

One of the biggest problems for this race is that it takes place directly on top of my lunch. XD

That being said, I drove the GT-R here and I quite liked it (needs some tweaking for the corkscrew though).

Class: GTE Pro
Car: Nissan GT-R
Body colour (if applicable): Dark Blue-Purple-ish (blends with the blue-purple already on the car)

Car Number (if applicable): 28

People already have been posting times...in the Pro category aim for laps under 24 seconds.

I think Pro will be quite a bit faster...I did a pretty lousy lap during my brief practice and still was under 24. And considering how fast Adam is already in the Am cars. Haha.

My guess is that Adam won't allow pastelletones..
Might want to change that..

 

[Müle]

He'll just run Lavender if he changes it anyway.

Here's my car

Pasteltone 001 is lavender actually. It's a bit less purplish and brighter than the lavender from the LFA.

That's sad to hear. Thanks a lot though!


Nice car as well Mule.

Well, i'm not signed up for any series at the moment, so i'll give Laguna a shot, even though i hate it!

I can't be consistent at this track. I just practice for a bit and for one clean lap, i had like 6-7 laps that i went to dirty or spun, so you guys better watch out.

I did a 1:22.7 with the Vette. From what Eddie said about the times, under 24 for the Pro class, seems about right.
Any tunning tips to get better tire wear on the rear tires?

I'm not a big fan either. I'm hoping some consistency will come with familiarity with the car. Probably requires running at 95% or so during the race. Due to the fact the slightest mistake with the dirt could be devastating. My biggest problem is the corkscrew now. Great in mostly every corner except that!

My tire wear also won't be very good probably. ^^;



...I might pop in for some practice this afternoon if that "official" practice session is going on. I seek to avoid family also. XD

Yay. It's hard to be really consistent at Laguna - I think some people just try too hard and expect to be better at it. A 1:22.7 is good pace. I was around a 1:22 dead in the Corvette. Better tyre wear... move brake balance backwards? Will add you to the list later.

Yeah it won't pay off pushing too hard in the race, especially with traffic...

When I set the dates for the practice sessions I had forgot today was Easter lol. So there might not be one tomorrow either.

 

[TheEnd35000vr]

Managed to forget it was Easter?

 

[LongbowX]

He probably doesn't get out much, spends a lot of time on his "ship".


...I'm around a mid 1:22 now, I'd be happy if I could consistently get around that. It's also not fully (or any probably) broken in... Now to try and avoid pitting 5 times. Maybe. ^^;

 

[Green]

Hey just realised my little sister's 21st is the day before race and I think she may be having a party that saturday or the Friday night. So I'll need to see what's happening to find out if I can race that day. Anyway I'll let you know for definate when I know what's happening 👍

 

[mcfizzle]

I would like to be placed as a reserve. I have to work at that time unless it rains and then I would be free. I should be able to make most of the practice times though.

Sorry for my absence but everyone knows what I've been up to pretty much. Will be doing some thorough testing this week, starting with tonight.
