...but not happy still.

Not easily pleased then? You may as well just say "You are all inadequate, peasants" :sly:

Well, my first 20 minutes:

35.356
34.293

I am easily pleased however :P

Still working on a setup I like. So far I am using mostly stock with the following changes:

Max Downforce

Ride Height -22/-34

Camber 2.5/1.1
Toe 0.0/0.0

Trans - Max 180mph

Diff - 10/9/7

Brake Balance 5/7

I love this track. Not loving the car so much but a good setup will fix that. 👍

If you see my lap you understand. I have big drift on exit of tunnel and bad line on last turn. This is 0.2-0.3 lose in third sector. I'm not happy for that. Sector 1 & 2 very happy.:)

w-g-e
Holy ****. Ok I will stop trying to catch your splits from now on. You go racing with your alien friends.:scared:

Your gears are spot on Kevin.👍

Hehe, i think we don't have very much difference. You wait to scare me on the last day!

Chris, will try your tune tonight 👍
 
Let me know what you think Joao 👍 Changed setup a bit. Stock except:

Max Downforce

Ride Height -18/-34

Springs 13.3/13.3
Dampers 7/7 7/7

Camber 2.5/1.0
Toe 0.00/0.00

Transmission Max 180mph

Differential 10/9/7

Brakes 4/7

35.401
34.100

Feeling more comfortable with the car now so probably got a few tenths to find. :)

Sorry for the delay in getting this one up guys. Hope it was worth the wait. ;)

Indeed Kev - its a sweet combo :cheers:
 
First splits:
T1: 35.073
T2: 33.560

Bad T1. But reasonably happy with the lap as it's just my first session. I'm running with Kevin's gearing and LSD and my own suspension.
 
35.463
34.306

@562bhp

Didn't get the t3 it deserved. Good first 3/4 of lap though. Encouraging!

Thanks for the gears Kev!

Edit: Infact, thanks for the entire setup, Kev! Used everything 'cept LSD (Silly control pad!)

I ran TCS1/ABS1/Strong AS and LSD 15/48/15 I think, for anybody who is interested.

Earth to Wes - calm down lad. 👍

Yeah, seconded. I ran some vastly improved splits that I was pleased with and...BANG! Over 1 second down on top-spot. Way too good! :)

Keep it up and you will be arrest for speeding. :P

Amazing splits you ans Wes, I must go drive now.:cool:

FTW - the Bandai Direzza and this car are very much not alike, pretty much different settings everywhere.
 
Hmmm - can't really see me pulling another 0.8 out of the bag in the first 2 sectors but making some progress anyway...

35.264
33.970

I'll fiddle with my setup some more tomorrow - that's me done for tonight.

Wes, you've been infected with alien DNA mate. 👍

Thanks Chris, I've been racing with aliens online lately. Guess they infected me a bit. We'll have to see what others pull out.:)
 
Second Splits, 85 miles on car now.

35.457
34.138

And finally a tune - Chris, I swear I didn't steal your lsd. :crazy:

My Tune
Sucked.

First session, I think I've spent the majority of the past 2 hours tweaking settings rather than racing, haha. Anyway, I've modified Chris' settings a little to my liking and may modify them a bit more.

T1 - 35.423
T2 - 34.173

Excellent Combo 👍

EDIT - I also put the LSD to 5/5/5 and top speed is 180mph. Beep Beep, CSL :lol:

Beep Beep? You're a millimeter behind me, I'm pretty sure the honking part's over.:P
 
Thanks Jon 👍

CSL, not going to try to take that of your mind, because i didn´t like also :sly:
 
Dom, why are your rear springs so hard (17.8)? I haven't driven the car yet so take this with a pinch of salt, but wouldn't you be better served by dropping the spring rate for improved traction and increase the rear bar instead and then reduce rear DF to fine tune the balance (as I assume you're try to get the rear to move around to dial out any understeer). I see Speedy has gone a similar way on spring rates as well...

Just a thought since you don't like the way it's driving, hope you don't mind :)

Hoping to get some seat time tonight :cheers:

I tuned mine from scratch without looking at any others and ended up in about the same place. Tried extremes at both end, tried to find the end of the car I wanted stiffer for the balance and turn in I was looking for, and ended up where I did.


Springs 16.0/13.0
Damp (Ext) 7/6
Damp (Comp) 7/6
ARB 6/5
 
Fair enough, like I said, I haven't driven the car yet, it was just an observation. I assume you don't have any traction issues? There are four tight corners on this track that lead onto long fast sections, so optimisation of traction zones would be important I would think?

I'll guess I'll find out for myself tonight :D

The car is actually a bit understeery in stock form, so my tuning was an attempt to get it to rotate.

And nope, no traction issues. ;)
