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

Well, I thought it would improve handling by increasing front grip, which would also dial some under steer out, I'm not sure where exactly the tune went wrong, but it was all wrong. I have a better tune now, by miles.

35.148
34.043

And this is my proof. Roughly 8 tenths at the line, I'd guess about 2 tenths in each sector possible for me yet, but we'll see.

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.

That's not very nice...

Went back to the basics with this, and it worked very well, a re-think on the lsd also helped, just scared to touch her now.

Cool, thanks for Beta testing for me

Starting my tune.

T1: 37.221
T2: 35.839

Need to improve a lot!

 

[Gravitron]

50miles more, now @ 569HP. Last few laps were with Kev's gears and CSL's latest "everything else", and it seemed to like me. Thanks again for all the tunes, guys! (Also finally beat the Subaru Expert seasonal w/ CSL's tune tonight! 👍)

Chris' suspension and CSL' gearing 👍

T1: 35.216
T2: 34.124

Sweet splits.

How many horses under the bonnet?

Good to hear, on both counts. 👍
Did you get the other two already?

Edit: I spy with my wandering eye....redreevos?

Dammit Dominic! Nice splits ya bugger. 👍

Setup tweaking for me later....

You too Joao, mate - nice job 👍

Struggling to string better sectors together.....

Getting frustrated in the esses in T2. NO! I want the car to go OVER THERE!

Still trying to get that T1 in the mid 35's but I don't seem to figure out how

 

[Vagabond]

Afternoon off and dedicated to WRS... Missus is out shopping, kids are PC-hypnotised, dog is asleep, so its just me and the wheel.

35.186
33.920

Starting to see the glimmer of a possible 34.9xx T1 but maybe only another tenth or two to T2. Very impressive sectors Wes. 👍

Not happy with my last sector

T1: 34.944

Better but still not great.

T1: 34.909
T2: 33.610
That magic lap just won't come.

T1: 35.010
T2: 33.545
See, I'm not consistent at all.

[Vagabond]

What setup you running Jon?

See, I'm not consistent at all.

Slightly more consistent than I usually am 👍

35.149
33.841

Not a great 3rd sector.... Can't see any more than another 0.1 in 2nd sector I don't reckon. T1 I'm regularly making a mess of.

 

[Manuelos]

35.527
34.516

Don't have a clue how I should be going any faster than this

Anyone tips on how to take the left-right-right-left before the first tunnel?💡
w-g-e & SuperSic ... you guys are ... 'super sick' 👍

Thanks.
The only advice I can give you is to run wide after the first right corner, the rest you would have to figure out yourself as I don't know either. I think multiple lines are possible. I'm still somewhat improving every lap and my best T2 split is more than 2 tenths quicker than I have on the board.

If anyone wants to see my tune please say, I'll post it in the thread

Yeah let's have a look please Wes 👍 I've almost finished my setup but I don't think I'm going to match your splits with any tune to be honest

 

[poolhaas]

I'd like to see it aswell

[Jump_Ace]

Thanks for that Wes, I am hoping to find another .5 in my lap at least. One thing I meant to ask yesterday: The lowest my 1st gear ratio will go is something like 33xx and I can't get it to the 3195. I'm missing something, can someone fill me in? I never tweak individual gear ratios, should I first move the final gear ratio??? Thx in advance 👍

[poolhaas]

Thanks 👍
I was having some probs with the gear settings, I hope it works out.

Lower max speed first, then lower the final gear. That should fix it.👍

 

[Jump_Ace]

Thanks dude

[yanaran]

Did a long-ish first session and just hit full horse power on the last lap (301km)

T1: 35.067
T2: 34.063

Think I have a bit more to give in T2 but not sure I can go under 35 in T1, going to try some more aggressive tuning to force even more oversteer. Haven't touched springs or dampers yet...

 

[Jump_Ace]

/\ I'm still waiting for that, my max PP is 620 right now IIRC.

Jerome

 

[poolhaas]

Woohoo, some better splits

35.799
34.563

With a few small mistakes (2nd hairpin and between the 2 tunnels) maybe I can find a few more tenths there.
Thanks for sharing w-g-e, the car feels pretty weird driving it but I'm getting some results.

 

[SuperSic]

I did a new best laptime but with 3 big mistakes, i don't know how it was so fast.

T1: 34.785
T2: 33.369

Perfect laptime i cut 3-4 tenths in complete lap. Need to be serious, no drift.

That's just rediculous.
