Formula Gran Turismo tune?

[smellyeti]

How can I make this car handle like the F2007? I know they are different makes of vehicle but they are both F1 cars so the FGT should be able to corner at high speeds. I'm having trouble getting it to do so. Any tips?

You're actually way off the mark. Formula One cars change every single year. 2011 cars are different from 2010 cars, which are different from 2009 cars, et cetera. Back in the earlier 2000s they had more power but less downforce. So, no matter what you do, you will never get a Ferrari F2007 or F10 to have the same power of the FGT and you will never get the FGT to have the same downforce, and consequently never have the same cornering speed.

no wonder you're a douchebag, you're from ohio.

The key to tuning the FGT is having the rear soft enough to keep traction but the front hard enough to keep the aerodynamic downforce from pushing the front down, probably causing understeer through the corners. I go all the way up with rear downforce, leave the front alone. Set the camber to 3 in the front 1 in the rear. Toe to neutral in the front, slight toe in for the rear. ride height -5 front and back, 18.0 spring rate, 8 shock bound/rebound, 7 anti roll
the lsd is all about car feel, i left it alone but if u need help controlling it go to 15, 50, 20
transmission is based on track obviously but 255mph is good for most
brakes 7 front 4 rear

those are a nice starting point but tune the car yourself based on feel and driving style and track. Start with spring rate and make small changes to see how the car reacts. Fugi is a good test track.

If the front tires turn red mid corner or corner exit, the springs are too soft in the front. If it is not getting traction when accelerating, they are too hard in the rear.

If they are turning red on corner entry, you need to fade the brake pedal before corner entry, if u dont u will lock the wheels.

If its not turning in quick enough put in some negative toe for the front wheels, if its too sketch put in positive toe.
rear toe will change understeer/oversteer but careful because small changes make marked changes.

Aight cuz hope this helps, get at me if u want some more tips

Thank you for posting a starting setup and some tips as well. This morning I have spent the last two hours at Nurburgring GP/F with the Formula Gran Turismo and while I'm not fully satisfied with how it understeers in the corners still, I'm done messing with the setup and will drive from now on with these settings:

downforce max front and rear

transmission 255 mph changing with the track of course

drivetrain 15 20 20 have no problems with this setting

ride height -5 front 0 rear

spring rate front 18.0 rear 16.0

dampers ext/compression at 8

roll bars f/r 7

camber front 3.0 rear 1.0

toe front .20 rear -.05

brakes front 7 rear 4

Thank you again for getting me started. I made small adjustments here and there and noticed the biggest difference in reducing spring rate in the rear as far as cornering at higher speeds. With my own setup before this morning my best time at Nurburgring GP/F was 1:33:875 and with your help with a starting point my best time is now 1:31:367. So I knocked down over 2 seconds per lap, with which I am more than happy with. It is just frustrating to not be able to take corners as fast as I want to with the FGT but I think the problem is I am coming in way too hot and lose momentum when I have to brake harder or longer to correct my line. I turned off the driving line because I think I was focusing too much on that and not looking ahead to time the corners right. The time of 1:31:367 was with no driving line. I am going to test the setup in the FGT championship and see how it works.

Formula Gran Turismo Championship results:

Fuji 1st place best lap 1:14:816 margin of victory 4.797

Indy 1st place best lap 1:09:102 margin of victory 16.577

Cote D'Azur 1st place best lap 1:16:574 margin of victory 1.060
This race was very tight through all 20 laps. Definitely room for improvement on my part on this track.

Nurburg 1st place best lap 1:30:268 margin of victory Over a minute due to the ai spinning out after last chicane
I improved on my times from earlier this morning. Very happy with the setup on the FGT so far.

Monza 1st place best lap 1:19:226 margin of victory 8.124 Due to many mistakes on my part in the last 5 laps the margin went from 19-20 seconds to 3 seconds from lap 15 to 19 and I was able to pull away on the last lap a little bit. I feel I can do better on this track if I can get around the chicanes better, especially the first one. I had the gear ratio set at 249. Way too high because the car never got above 228 or so on the straights.

Suzuka was not able to complete this race due to my daughter waking up and other things going on.

All in all I'm happy with the setup I posted in this thread. I've learned it wasn't the car it was me and once I started braking earlier and taking the corners smoother, I could get on the gas faster while still being in control of the car, making for my best times on these tracks since I bought the FGT. Thanks again to SKD420 for getting me pointed in the right direction.

I'm interested in seeing other peoples lap times for these tracks. Wondering how far away I am from the average times of the experienced GT5 racer.
