Links to Tunes:

• mistersafeway
• PASM
• praiano

I've added a section to the OP with links to the 2 tunes shared here in this thread and one other reputable one.

I hope to get some splits on the board tonight, last night I was consumed by Spa.

Using @mistersafeway tune with @PASM transmission with final set to 3.300. I can take the second right in t2 flat out for those of you who are lifting there. That got me most of my improvement.

 

[ItsAllAboutWins]

I'll continue this tonight.

45's are possible i think. I'm using Barts tune with safe's aero. On t1.. Brake about half way between the 150 and 100 boards, lift and after the wall on the left, tap of the brake again. I stay in 2nd and pump the gas just below the turbo then up to 3rd out of the 2nd chicane.

 

[GTP_Patrick1]

I tried Bart's tune again as I did not adjust the aero when I first tried it, you have to do that or you sacrifice too much speed in the long straights. I set the aero to the same as mistersafeways tune. Both tunes work very well for me. Thanks to both of you.

Typos ftw. This is the only hoing I've been doing lately and it ain't for money.

Ditto, I have new splits too!

I still haven't figured out the new/"old" first chicanes, but I'm liking everything after that.

Brake-point for the first chicane in T2 is just before the first tree shadow after the foot-bridge. I don't brake for the first Lesmo, just downshift to 3rd and quickly floor it (not sure if that's good or not).
Then I lifted when I shouldn't have for Lesmos 2 and it still ended up OK.

Brake-point for Ascari (1st turn in T3) is just after the overhead sign thingy. These are "technical terms".


Using @PASM's tune w/ @mistersafeway's aero and @patrick19602005's Final 3.300. 👍

3 tenths at the line.. i always screw up the chicane in t2 and the first lesmo.

MORE INSANE SPLITS

Dude you need to slow down.

Not really. 👍

Do what i can while the aliens are away won't get any more chances after this

With a DS3? You are crazy....do you have a standard sensitivity in the settings or do you change from race to race...

I normally keep at 0 and adjust depending on the combo.. using 2 for this one

After my session tonight I feel compelled to say 45s are definitely possible, I ditched 22.3 46.3 to finish up a tenth behind, and T2 wasn't exactly brilliant. Damn you, Parabolica! *shakes fist*

Interesting, I have always been using 7 since GT5 days

 

[TayTheDay]

3 for me. I wonder if raising the sensitivity will help for this combo...

Also, I'm having a lot of trouble with rear df any lower than 1800. I'll never be competitive by the end of the week!

 

[Spud_Skills]

I use 7 with absolutely everything! Wanted to make a return to WRS this week, this could be a tricky one to come back to though

 

[mistersafeway]

0.868 at the line, damn Parabolica scared me.

Oops, I think I confused Fetchy with the number at the start of my post. Sorry.

[Allibubba99]

I dropped my sensitivity to 2 and changed the wheel lock to 670 degrees it sure helps in the chicanes!

 

[mistersafeway]

It should be at 540/1.5 turns lock to lock as soon as you get in the car, did it change that in some way, and what to? I don't have a shifter, so I can't check myself.

 

[roamer2629]

Guys I'm setting final gear to the right max speed to the left but it's impossible for me to set the values as they are posted in the tunes. Please help!!!
Nevermind folks don't know how but I managed to do it

Since you replied right after my post I am assuming you are asking me that question. This is what I am talking about. Wheel lock settings I have it set at 670

Yes, I was, but I was saying that this car gives the wheel less lock by default, so I was just curious where the artificial stops were now.

Interesting, I feel that it does not give me a wheel lock other than default. I can feel the difference immediately when I change the setting to 670

 

[GTP_Patrick1]

Go to cockpit view or some view to see your wheels and change setting , then turn wheel and note how many degrees til wheel lock. Keep doing it until you find what you want. I read that the Kart does limit G27 when selected without having to use buttons.

Nice. Don't think I can compete with that. I've only gotten in the 21.9's that one lap and I'm terrible in T2.

 

[roamer2629]

Terribly difficult for a DS3, quite a challenge just to keep the car on the track, but here are my first splits anyways
