Sorry Scott, would love to help, but I haven't done a T2 as fast as you yet so I'm not sure what I could offer :lol: I did find though that there is a little marker flag on the inside of turn 3 and I'm using that as my reference to ease off the throttle.

Glad you like the set-up đź‘Ť

I'm using the same marker as reference, it's more when to get back on the throttle without going wide on exit or just to slow that is my problem. I'll figure it out though.đź‘Ť
 
New splits for me tonight.

23.947
35.657

I also made some tweaks to my middle gears -

2nd = 1663 (From 1625)
3rd = 1290 (From 1276)
4th = 1060 (From 1055)

Small changes, but mainly just to give 2nd a better launch and then work to maintain an even gap between the gears.

The rest of the tune stayed the same. Jon, not sure why you'd want the back any looser, but to each their own. :sly:

Thanks for your help with the gears in this and previous post, i knew there was a lot of time to be gained with good ratios - keeping the car in higher revs but im pretty hopeless lol. I think im running a stiffer suspension setup and slightly higher front camber, 11.5 / 12 and 2.5. Im almost at full power now will change oil and post splits tonight when i get in from work. Thanks again,

Louis
 
T1: 24.493
T2: 36.612
Not quite full HP.
Still working on that yet.
I do know however, I MISS MY WHEEL!!!
Cheers All !!!

Kevin's first posted tune.đź‘Ť..Kevin...with a couple of my changes.:nervous:

I probably have reached my limit, both time-wise and ability, but going to run your original tune with your latest gear tweaks....and give Jon's tweaks a try.....provided I find the time. :indiff:

I started with a suspension as stiff as yours, but kept launching the car off of apex rumbles. If you haven't tried the softer springs and dampers, you should.
 
I should probably give the softer settings a try. I'm pretty sure I've gone airborne off a few curbs.

My splits keep on droppin', droppin', droppin' into the relegated zone.

Splits are slower by a lot, but up .250 at the line. By far the best T3 I've ran.

T1: 24.089
T2: 35.760

If I can put it all together there is a half second overall for me to pickup.
 
T1: 24.056
T2: 36.291

Man does kevin's gearing clean up the shifting, I couldn't catch my first attempt "EDK FLYER" ghost until this last adjustment. Another great job tweeking the middle gears đź‘Ť

T1: 24.156
T2: 36.009
 
First splits with the car at full hp,

T1 24.056
T2 36.016

Cheers EDK, I've softened the suspension a bit now.
I think I just need to work on my lines, and find better braking points. Can hopefully find a tenth in T1 as I was a bit hesitant on the throttle, and can maybe find a bit in T2 at the slow left following the never ending right - was too early on the brakes and turn-in.

Cheers đź‘Ť
 
*Blink* And the lights in my house just went off, along with my PS3. Hopefully the power is restored soon.... I was really hoping to get some laps in today.
 
New Splits:

T1: 23.985
T2: 35.816

Getting more consistent and had a lap that was a tenth up on my best time at t2 and someone tried calling my cell during the final sequence of turns and completly blew it.:banghead:
 
First splits, haven't got max HP yet. Thanks for posting your tune Kevin đź‘Ť

24.324
36.489

I remember the last Fuji event with the asparagus RX7, the T3 gave me nightmares. I think I had the slowest by like 2 seconds, hopefully I'll be a tad better this week :nervous:
 
First splits from second session. Using Kev's ubiquitous tune (with a few small tweaks). Horrible T3.

24.220
36.530
 
Haven't got any time today in my sofa, I'm submitting with current splits, I'm way off my hopes and expectation. If only I would get back early on Monday :)
EDIT: Just a lap before sleep brought me .121 faster at the line. :lol:
Still a little more than half a second...
New splits:
24.075
35.596

I was finally able to put 3 decent sectors together, but there is still a lot of room for improvement.
 
This is the setup I'm using, baseline is from Kevin đź‘Ť , the major improvement is on the gearbox, I hope to fine tune it a bit before monday:

Aero 15/33
LSD 5/20/5
Brakes 7/8
15/-35
10.0/4.0
6/3
6/3
6/3
1.5/0.5
-0.10/-0.20

Gearbox:
Final gear ratio to 3500, later set max speed to 230 km/h and later ...
3203
2211
1800
1480
1218
F3000
max speed top right 250 km/h

178 BHP / 18.9 kgfm

Updates in red.

Put another 50 + laps in, Thanks Kev for your tune! Tweaked it slightly for my driving style but could not have done it without you.
