So now we got the Urus, yet there's still no Pikes Peak ...Let me help you
Lamborghini takes SUV record at Pikes Peak with the new Urus - HR Owen
https://youtu.be/euu2Svgwiq4 Ahead of its premiere in mid-August, the yet-to-be-revealed new Urus[1] model set a new record in the production SUV category on the track used for the Pikes Peak International Hill Climb: the famous uphill race that recently celebrated its 100th Running.

PD should simply divide the proper prototypes into various categories, it is normal for a car like the GT-One '99 (LMGTP) not to be in Gr. 1 as it is structured now, but it is also wrong to place it in Gr. 2 together with the GT500, which deserve a separate group. So, if it were up to me, I would do this:There's four sets of rules that I think make sense - 1999 is very much a crossover year for Le Mans rulesets which makes things difficult:
Unfortunately any of the above four rules could be true, we don't know enough about how they classify cars to choose until they put another car from the era in.
- PD consider Gr.1 to be prototypes only regardless of year or speed, and also consider the existence of the 1998 road car enough to make the 1999 LMGTP GT-One not a "true" prototype. This would put the V12 LMR, Speed 8 and all R8s, including the 1999 R8C in Gr.1.
- PD think LMGTP should be Gr.2, but LMP900 and 1999 LMP Gr.1. This would put the R8C and Speed 8 in Gr.2, but the V12 LMR and 2000s R8s in Gr.1.
- PD think all 1999 Le Mans LM cars should be in Gr.2, like 1995-1998. This would put the V12 LMR and R8C in Gr.2, and the Speed 8 and 2000s R8s could be either as we'd have no information on what they think of 2000s LMGTP or LMP900.
- PD think all other 1999 Le Mans LM cars should be Gr.1, but are making an exception for the GT-One, possibly because they want to keep it with where the R390 would eventually end up for the nostalgia. This would, like option 1, put everything else mentioned above in Gr.1.
It rises and falls. When it tanks, hold onto it. The value will go up.How does the car valuation service work? I mean when you’re going to sell your car.
I won a duplicate LFA like a month ago, and the value was about 900’ i think. The diagram showed that the car was worth about 1 mil two weeks earlier. So I decided to wait and thought that it may rise again soon enough.
Bad call… The value has tanked brutally and is now a mere 749’. Is the value likely to go up sooner or later or is my yellow LFA suffering from severe dead-in-the-market-ism?
Compare lap times at Fuji or La Sarthe (with chicanes, so 1990 or later) between the GT-ONE and the 962C, XJR-9 and 787B. The GT-ONE was several seconds faster at both tracks in both quali and race trim.LMGTP superior to Group C? I don’t know. Group C aerodynamics may not have been the best but Group C had straight line speed that would give even an LMP1 a hard time.
Assuming a 75L fuel tank, that's approaching 150L/100km, or 1.56 miles per US gallon . I'll have to check that out later, that's nuts.Speaking of the urus: the car only makes 2 laps at the nordschleife (24h layout)with a fuelrate of x1?!
I’m getting 6 laps around the Nordschleife, are you sure you had the fuel rate at x1?Speaking of the urus: the car only makes 2 laps at the nordschleife (24h layout)with a fuelrate of x1?!
Yes.I’m getting 6 laps around the Nordschleife, are you sure you had the fuel rate at x1?
Also, did you tune it or is it stock?Yes.
But I will check the settings again
Oh, how I'd like the Espada to be in the game. My Lord, I'd explode.Ever heard of Ferrari 2+2 cars? Practical, beautiful and high-performing vehicles that worked fine sticking to ground level. Lamborghini Espada comes to mind as well. No, SUVs like the Urus exist because people’s appreciation for aesthetics are in a decline. The fact that the absolutely hideous Tesla Cybertruck has acquired mainstream “appeal” says everything really.
You can't put racing slicks on a stock roadcar without it becoming very leery.I tried the Audi R8 V10 plus and it seems pretty unstable for an all-wheel drive car, like as if it tries to violently twist its body as it shifts its weight from corner to corner. The end result was 6:44.431 stock around the Nordschleife with Racing: Soft tires.
This thing seems harder to drive than even the Lamborghini Murcielago LP 640.
Still yet to try out the Toyota GT-One though, although I'm not optimistic about its lap time. Don't get me wrong though, it's an amazing car, but you know my opinions already.
I have met A LOT of people online believing that Racing Soft tires SOLVES all of the inherent handling problems of road cars, and ending up spinning out or crashing then whine.You can't put racing slicks on a stock roadcar without it becoming very leery.
Fully tuned 😅Also, did you tune it or is it stock?
If you put slicks under a road car you have to significantly tune its suspension too, starting with an increase in spring frequency from 2 or below to 3 or more.I have met A LOT of people online believing that Racing Soft tires SOLVES all of the inherent handling problems of road cars, and ending up spinning out or crashing then whine.

And I have done that in SPORTS SOFT tires in 700 pp. The car needs some attention in tuning to get the best out of it.
View attachment 1342629
And that maxed out, turbocharged tune lap was also done in Sports Soft tires.
I am not saying that one shouldn't use Racing Softs on road cars. But there are other factors to consider when learning and/or tuning the dynamics of a car. Tires are half of the battle.
Yes that is true.If you put slicks under a road car you have to significantly tune its suspension too, starting with an increase in spring frequency from 2 or below to 3 or more.
Initial TorqueNever had any idea how to tune a limited-slip differential or dampers. Can anyone please help me figure this out a bit?
Digit website also has a guide for various tunning options. It's worth the read.Initial Torque
The initial torque determines how much power is needed to activate the differential.
A higher number produces more understeer at low G corners while high G corners show more oversteer.
A lower number produces more oversteer at low G corners while high G corners show more understeer.
Acceleration Sensitivity
The Acceleration Sensitivity level adjusts the engagement during full throttle. The higher the value the higher the engagement resulting in less wheel spin(limiting slip); however, the car may become unstable on full throttle when at full steering lock.
Braking Sensitivity
The Braking Sensitivity level adjusts the engagement during deceleration (braking, turning-in, and coasting). The higher the value, the higher the engagement; however, the car may understeer heavily when turning-in at high values.
This is a great read for tuning and the dampers
Probably worth reading PD's Beyond the Apex as well...Never had any idea how to tune a limited-slip differential or dampers. Can anyone please help me figure this out a bit?
Yeah where is that thing, they scanned it like 5 years ago, now FH5 even got it earlier..Oh, how I'd like the Espada to be in the game. My Lord, I'd explode.
No way PD scanned one??Yeah where is that thing, they scanned it like 5 years ago, now FH5 even got it earlier..
Yeah, in 2019:No way PD scanned one??
That and the C12 Zonda they Dyno'd would be welcome additionsYeah, in 2019:
This Lamborghini Espada is Coming to Gran Turismo Sport (Eventually)
It's the season of plenty in the world of Gran Turismo Sport. We've seen not one but two car-carrying updates in March, and yesterday the official site leaked yet more like the Toyota AE86 Trueno and Porsche 962. Now comes word of another classic Italian, though it's an unlikely one: the Lamborghiniwww.gtplanet.net
Okay, that might explain it 😁Fully tuned 😅
Yeah, you need to win the races.A few things.How does the event directory work? For example on the Historic sports car races ive completed 3 of them,came third in the 3 but it still puts me at 0% completion for this event.Is this a bug or do I need to do something else?
