It's quite the battle, this combo is so odd that every day I'm finding time. Actually had a sub fifteen sec T1 which naturally I slammed into the wall

Naturally! You are winning that one as I have yet to go sub 15....yet! I am loving this combo as, like you, I'm finding more time most days...of course, having run 711 miles helps :lol:
 
Well i just tried to take t1 like the video. Not happening. Can't get the car to initiate the slide on braking and sure as hell can't take it in the mid 130's.
 
Not getting anywhere with T1, but the rest is coming together with a nice improvement at the line :D

14.966
37.383
 
I'm braking waaaaay too much

Same here....I just watched that video and was like "What? Does he even use the brakes? :eek:"

Yeah, I don't get how he can go so quick (though I have using a DS3 with face buttons and auto gears as an excuse :lol:).....the max speed I can get through that corner is about 125 or so...any faster and I normally go way wide :(

@doodlemonoply : :bowdown:. That is some serious speed you are carrying there. Excellent driving...can't wait to see your full lap when the week ends :D
 
Grrr. I tweaked the suspension and reached some leaderboard shaking T2s (by that I mean chase after the second place in D3) but now the car is too twitchy through T3.
 
As an individual competitor this week I've found the trial and error of playing with a tune really enlightening...as an avid GT player for the past 8-9 years it's embarrassing I've never really had a go at tuning. Here are my current splits:

15.217
37.650

This was from a fairly unremarkable lap and I feel that another 0.5 is probably achievable for me and a true driver would surely smash this well out of the park. In particular, I can personally see a 14.xxx T1 which would be sweet next time I get some "seat" time.

Here is my tune that I feel pretty happy with as is, the car drives beautifully now and is controllable when sliding it into a corner too...which I feel is necessary to have a competitive T2...that corner before the uphill climb is hard to prepare well for:

Ride Height: 95 , 50 (Front = highest, Rear = lowest)
Spring Rate: 7.53 , 8.25 (This is untouched from default)
Dampers (compression): 3 , 3 (Untouched)
Dampers (extension): 3 , 3 (Untouched)
Anti-roll bars: 3 , 3 (Untouched)
Camber: 0.0 , 0.0 (Apparently Camber is broken in GT6 so 0.0 is recommended)
Toe: 1.0 , 0.0 (Front is maximum, rear is neutral)
Brake Balance: 5 , 6 (Seemed to feel stable for me)

In order to get my gearing I set the "Final Gear" all the way to the right (5.500) and then the "Top Speed" all the way to the left (whatever the smallest number is) and then I set the Top Speed to 290kmh (180mph). You should then be able to get the following Gear Ratios (which if you're interested are supposed to help you change gears into the peak torque zone...if I've done the calculations right...kind of feels like good shift points to me):

Gear 1: 2.453
Gear 2: 1.898
Gear 3: 1.469
Gear 4: 1.115
Gear 5: 0.880
Gear 6: 0.681

Centre Diff: 50:50 (I tried lots here and this seemed to work best)
Diff Initial: 5 , 5 (Minimum)
Diff Accel: 20 , 60 (I feel this was one of the most effective changes)
Diff Braking: 5 , 5 (Minimum)
Downforce: 150 , 350 (maximum)

If you use a variation of this that helps I would love to hear your reasoning for the changes. I don't mind if it's after submission time, I understand we're all enemies for now :) ...but after submission I'd like to keep learning something about tuning. Even if some of those experienced tuners could offer some insights with this car/track combo it would be awesome!

Happy driving folks!

Thanks. I tried to play with toe before but kept returning to 0/0. I'll give it another shot.

Ahhhh, I brokes the leaderboard, let's try that again:

15.217
37.650

It was fun while it lasted though :sly:

There are a couple of options how to take the 1st corner.

I use a longer, more gradual but lighter brake than @doodlemonoply, ut can still run .6's.

But the principal remain the same... don't run wide on the 1st part of the turn. If you push too hard on entry you create understeer, apply more steering lock as a consequence, and this kills both your mid corner speed and your exit speed.

Thank you for posting this helpful advice 👍. I think that's been my problem, in that I enter the corner from out wide and lose a lot of speed trying to get the car to the inside to create room for exit

And to that I'd add watch out for that 🤬 inside rumble strip as you exit turn 1. That thing will shoot you off to the far moon of Endor.
