GTP_WRS Week 29 : FusciCujo?

[EDK]

I don't like that first split

I do.

 

[ConRollins]

Took a little down-force off the rear and a little more final gear to free it up some.

20.583
50.967

Shaping up to be quite a battle in D2 as usual.

 

[ConRollins]

I do.

Don't you mean more like:

Let's fix that typo on the LB:

Nice job, Mike. 👍

10 laps with @Sutuki's tune and @EDK's gears:

20.702
50.936

and a whole bunch of laps online

Thanks for the tunes all.

 

[mr_lab_rat]

It took me far more than 10 laps to break the 51s T2.
I'm done for the night.

Good work Gravitron. 👍

I too am rockin' Sutuki's tune with EDK's tranny. I managed to improve several tenths in T1 and T2, and then lost most of it in T3.

[RoeszaGT]

Today I went out with @Sutuki tune with @EDK gearing and got a little faster at the line but lost out in T1 and T2

20.751
51.568

Will drop on the LB but I gained a tenth on the line.

 

[Rikson]

Slowly getting there

Slippery little sucker...good fun to slide around though:

Thanks to @Sutuki and @EDK for the tune and gearing, made life a lot easier 👍 Also meant I could
do a bit of this --> in the Expert 600PP race!

Mostly default tunes though, I may have to fiddle about a bit , it looks like I'm trailing.

[Mr P]

Great combo this one... pretty tricky but good fun finding the best lines 👍

20.464

Can scrape a tenth or 2 more after my shift tonight with some luck

Sector 3 was horrible I couldn't remember where to brake or how hard to get back on power

 

[RoeszaGT]

20.800
51.550

Got back to @EDK 2.1 with some personal tweaks (.6 on camber) and found another 2 tenths in T3 but can't do my best T1 en T2 and will try something completely different tomorrow but this tune feels the most comfy until now.

I can get much faster splits by lowering DF, but then my s3 suffers... just got to find that right balance.

 

[Gravitron]

I've tried to collect links to most of the tunes and tuning suggestions in post #3 from the online race thread.

It looks like this:

Tunes from TT thread:

• skyline1683 - he lowered the DF by 5% after this
• EDK v1.0 - safe, stable, how to make it understeer less
• EDK v2.1 - closer to Sutuki's, how to remove throttle-on oversteer
• Sutuki - fast, popular tune, find gears from one of the above tunes
• LLOYDZELITE69's aero tips

I'll also add a link to that post in the OP of this thread, and I'll keep that post in the online race thread up-to-date.

If I missed anyone, apologies, let me know.

I found balance by dropping aero to what I felt was bare minimum and then maximizing mechanical grip. Once that was set, I moved up the aero to allow best traction out of the turns. I found that my speed on the front stretch was about the same regardless of the aero because I ended up getting a better run out of T16 and the aero allowed me to brake a touch later into T1.

You're hitting on one thing though, Sector 1 and 2 will not mean as much as we think. Especially Sector 1.

 

[mr_lab_rat]

For some reason I often do well in events with adjustable downforce.
I start with the highest possible setting that allows me to do the same value front and rear (I think that's 300/300 or 350/350 in this case). Then I look for the right balance by lowering one of the values. When I'm happy with the ratio between front and rear I start lowering both (while keeping the ratio) as I get more comfortable with the car and as I tweak suspension for more grip.

So for example my Mugen Motul Civic progress was 150/150 then 120/150. Down to 100/133, adjusting the ratio a bit to 100/110 and finally cut that in half to 50/55.

In this one I'm down to 250/300. I tried higher values and I didn't see much benefit as most of the trouble corners are low speed.

I'm all over the place with the settings, trying to find something that suits the whole track... All over the place with lines as well ..

Are you still using ABS0 ? I had a go myself and the car feels great through turn 1, certainly a good track for it with only 2 heavy braking zones.

This is what I normally do as well, but the lower down force just seems to really hurt my time on certain corners..

I'll figure it out ..

 

[Meister Fetz]

I go pretty well over the whole course with @Sutuki s tune and @EDK 's transmission - but I'll need something different for the race because with my abbility to stay consistent - sector 3 is like playing Russian roulette with 5 bullets and 1 empty slot...But as soon as I hit it it's fast

 

[mcsqueegy]

For aero, I've been using max front/min rear and it's a nightmare in T3 if you want any hope of traction! Particularly the chicane, it's hopeless

Difficult to know which setting is best over a whole lap though...

 

[roamer2629]

New splits. I just love this car. The landscape seems so much more real than Cape Ring too...

Blew sector 3 again so only a marginal improvement about .026 so still a lot to find. I'm not getting how to do a .3 in the first sector, I'm missing something for sure.
