Added a time zone table for the Seasonal to the OP.

There are a few countries listed that do not have GTP members…
…and probably a few not listed that do have GTP members.

I also used @eran0004 's How big is GT Academy in your country thread...
...and @UnoMOTO 's The GTPlanet world map thread for reference.

I tried to include country representation for all time zones…
…but its impossible to list all, and keep the table manageable.

Please PM me if you notice something that needs correction/editing…
…or if your country is not included, if possible, I will try to add.

BIG JOB! My friend. :bowdown:

I'll add to DATABASE as we had combined.
Thanks for that. 👍


GK,
 
I did, could never find enough speed with it compared to the Integras however. I was able to get into the high 1:17's with it- but when I switched to the '98 Integra I gain a second into the 1:16's. A better driver might be able to get a better time than me with the Suzuki- also this is not my strongest track.
It´s just because I made a 1:15,784 (81th atm) which is 2nd place of the non-integra-guys. Neither my driving skills nor my tuning skills are particularly good. If one of the GTP-tuning-gods around here would design a clever tune for one of the top-skilled-drivers (not me :lol:), it would be very interesting to see what happens to the world-ranking...

GK,

Thanks for that, pales in comparison to your contributions though. :cheers:
I'll be updating the other OPs with it soon. This one is the first.

I'll PM you the Excel file once I tidy up the formulas. :)
 
Best I could manage with the 04 was 115.711 so switched to the DC2 98 using r1roman's tune & dropped to 115.496 :D Stuffed a few .3xx's but I think maybe 15.1xx is possible once I work out that right hand sweeper before the tunnel.

Rear shock 2 to 6 is not much better test

Only thing I changed was the BB to 8/4. Maybe take off some of the ballast if you are going to stiffen the rear springs. I will have a play with the settings & let you know what I find. I would have thought zero ballast might be quicker in the back end of the course but we'll see what happens :D

No 6 to 2 see configuration soften to 2

Just brake whit some force coming to the sweeper, it gives great turn in whit r1romans tune

Yeah just trying to find the best line through that section. Running wider seems to give better exit speed currently.
 
Down to 1.15.522 (and redlapped a .438 :banghead:) using @r1roman's current setup.

I've been wanting to change the transmission coz' 1: With this, the ideal shiftingpoint into 6'th seems to be just as i hit the jump after start, which is -well: not ideal. And 2: Mainly because when i get on top of the hill at the homestraight, i'm nowhere near the limiter. I've tried to alter transmission but ends up comming short compared to the trans. posted.

Btw: You can ditch 1kg ballast and still be at 400pp ;)

EDIT: Had to prove a point with the transmission: Changed final gear to 3150 and got a 1.15.407! =currently 4'th with DS3 :D

Hi Roweer , What is the current set up?:)
 
It's the one posted by @r1roman on the previous page. I wrote "current" because i think it has been edited since first posted. My only change is that final gear.

You see some improvement with this transmissión?
 
I see most people in the thread are chasing top times, however my quest to try the more unusual continues with a beauty.

1970 Honda 1300S is the biggest surprise so far. 1:18.792, with .3 lost by cocking up the last two corners.

Nice weight at 900kg, and a mid turbo let's me use third out of the hairpins. My tune is a little bit loose, but it's acceleration is excellent. Great car.

Yes. I improved from .522 to .407! I'm not sure if i couldn't have done that with your transmission also, but i do feel like the shifting points are better. I mentioned a couple of Things earlier and i could also mention that i was previously in doubt whether to negotiate the right-left after the tunnel in 5th or 6th. Now i take it in 6'th. :)
 
115.269 with another tenth to find (not quite good enough for top 10 unfortunately). Will have a fiddle with the transmission as I found longer gears a bit quicker in the 04 model (Rajman's also using longer gears).

Current setup:
115/85
4.01/2.24
2/2 (yes I've seen the light :D )
1/1
6/7
0/0
-0.18/-0.10
3/8

Everything else the same as r1roman's tune.
 
:DIf the change longer and uses three corners using handbrake,congratulations for you time,although his change is longe seems

Great time :cheers:

Not sure I'll go any faster. No handbrake on my run.

Keep at it! 👍
 
Thanks mate. Have tried various setups without using the E-brake but nothing seems to be as effective. I don't use it all the time, it really depends on my entry line. I use it on T1, T3 & T4 sometimes. Found it slows me down using on T2 but you need to get the front wheel right on the edge of apex there which helps rotate the car nicely.
 
That's right, but it has more aceleration,work is changin,although his change is longe seems

Now 1:18.560 with the Honda 1300 Coupe 9 (somewhere in the 6700's rank at the time).

I'm really enjoying this car, so for better or worse I'll offer up the tune I used in case anyone wants to try a bit of fun in a classic. Should be easy to get gold (though we are a week in by now now).

Edit: have posted this in the tuning database in case I update it.

Transmission (Full Custom):
FD 5.000 (all the way right)
top speed 99

3rd 1.770
4th 1.340
5th 1.050
FD 4.620

Shifting at 7900-8000

I was experimenting with lower front spring rate when I got this time - I normally have a firmer front end in FF cars. I think it's good for a couple more tenths in my hands with DS3.

It's fairly loose and a bit of tyre smoker :lol:, I used third out of T2,3,4 and fourth for the RH uphill sweeper. I have to let off slightly to get turn in out of the tunnel but have reached 102mph before braking for the final turns.
