I can see a pretty good potential lap time I think. Nailing it together is a bit tricky.

29.356
26.243

Seen a good few 26.0 2nd sectors now... hope I can find some consistency in the next few days. Best of luck guys. :cheers:
 
29.622
26.324

Finally a decent lap.... need to get a bit better in T1 but the rest was sweet.

Might give this one a go.....on the Driving Force GT. :embarrassed:

This could end badly!

Dude if you want to try with your DS3 heres my tune so far.

I dont know how well It can take T2 but I think you would make a great test driver for my tune. haha

I often cant drive like say a D2G time until late in the week so Im so reluctant to post my tunes in fear I will give dudes a bad one early on in a week but you, you can drive awesome day one.

So please try.

-20 +40
max min
6 3
4 1
1 1
camber 2.5/1.5
toe 0/0.20

BB 0/3
LSD 10/10/10

Tranny

I believe I set the top speed to 152 mph then I adjusted the final drive all the way right, then adjusted the top speed slider all the way left, set 6th all the way right then adjusted the final gear to 3868

then set the gears as follows

2423 all the way left
1734 all the way left
1409
1155
0987 should be 6th all the way right

Haha appreciate it dude, but I'm gonna stick to the wheel for this one. Starting to see the pace now, have hit a 55.6xx second split which I'm pretty pleased with, now to keep on pushing!

That setup looks pretty similar to the one I have been making actually (Well the suspension at least).

It didn't look that close when I was driving. :scared:

Uh oh now Viper knows my tune!

Just kidding Im sure he has his own awesome setup.👍

Edit: I now dont doubt my setup thru T2.

This was just my 3rd lap and I didnt ultra rip the chicane. Yesterday i was doing very low 5s very easily and consistently with my tune to T1 and It also does a new PB so wicked quick thru T3 compared to my previous tune its crazy really. So I must say I feel pretty confident now I have given DS3 drivers a kick ass tune.

Hoping to make it just a hair better thru every sector somehow but its good now.

29.667
23.323

Edit again: oops its not that good thru T2 haha

29.667
26.323

Edit again: 4 tenths lower at the line. PB thru T3. Adjusted front brake to 1.

29.551
26.449

Edit: just one last time. lol

I just did a 469 and a 227 and I didnt beat my OT can you believe that? I cant. haha My T3 time on my best OT is so freaky good now!

I'm not in it for the Div 4 competion yet, waiting for my T500rs to arrive, wondering what happened to the Div 4 racers! Only two showed up!! Good going to all that are in there!!
 
Oh where oh where has Division 4 gone? Takes most of the fun out of it racing against 1 person!:grumpy:

I went back in last night to find that little bit more I left on the track the night before...it was gone! I knew I shouldn't have left it on the track! I couldn't find it anywhere.

If any of you happen to find it (I think I left it at cobblestone corner right after the first split) please feel free to use it or just put it back on the track and I'll pick it up tonight when I go back in.

Thanks.

Tried Turismo's setup (something I have been wanting to do since the Mercedes/David Coulthard thing)

The Mercedes Challenge was a non-tuning event.
Those are always my fav :)
Really puts the focus on driving technique, instead of fiddling with the car.
 
I think I've got a pretty stable setup now... for this combo at least. Keep restarting when I mess up but I think I've finally got it in my head that these tires need to be warm before they get some grip in them so I've stopped restarting every time.

They are mine as well, but unfortunately, PD has not it made it easy for me to select them as an event organizer.

The list of Arcade Only cars is quite small, and we've already used nearly all of the good cars.
 
Looking at the splits on the board, I see where I need to make some time up. Although I already know the exact spot that's murdering my momentum. :ouch:

I know, but you were murderous fast there, and I loved the attitude!
 
Haha thank you!
The combination of high horse power and crappy tires really emphasizes any mistakes.
I hope we can do something like that again (hint hint admins :))

New splits

Still .3 off what it could be through t1 and t2, but haven't finished the great laps as fast as i'd like to..... yet ;)

Been tweaking the suspension here and there a little. Not as much progress as I would like to see but total time is dropping so that is good.

Was going to get a short run in before FP2 started. Nearly got a faster lap on the first lap but I got that ever so annoying ghost freeze.
 
Now that I have a wheel, I cant get anywhere near my DS3 time 👎

I gotta figure out the tuning difference.

I started to mess with tuning this last night, but was at Spa after qualifying for the Enduro.

Generally, lower front RH than rear, stiffer rear springs and softer front, higher front camber and lower rear, positive rear toe, should all help tighten the car up. From there, it's finding the balance between stable and fast.

It took me months to get close to my DS3 times with the DFGT wheel. Patience, young Jedi. 👍

And congrats, it will get better. :)
