As Doodle suggested, I am playing around with some lower front ride height and differential settings. Improved .300 at the line and that’s with braking conservatively at the chicane. Update to my splits so far, leaving some time still out there.

20.211
49.296

Exit from Spoon is killing me on my good laps along with the chicane and being smooth through that whole mess.
 
Just showing off my livery. :sly:

At last able to join the 'party' now that I'm feeling much better - first splits after one session or so all stock with stock transmission..........lots of time to find as add tuning and explore track limits a little more.

Great combo - iconic track that rewards smooth driving with a MR car that handles well..............

That last chicain is the only bit of suzuka I hate, kills me every time. You have great lap then I know I'm loosing 4 or 5 tenths at the line being to cautious

I improved my suspension tune while drinking beer and waiting for the update last night with @Gravitron and friends in his party chat.

I did not improve my lap, I blame the beer. :lol:

@Ph1sh was in there and tried my new settings, he gave them the thumbs up.

This morning, I improved my time by a few tenths.

New setup, I think code makes Fetchy grumpy so I will use quotes.

I tried the tune, it is very smooth. For some reason I couldn't carry any speed through the esses, probably just me. I went back to my original tune...

Shaved 3 tenths. Could have got another 3 tenths but messed up at the chicane :banghead:
 
Anyone else not getting a reply from fetch when submitting your time?
Yes, @racer_xis alerted us and it appears Fetchy has been dead for a couple days. :ouch:

NOTICE:
If you have PM'd Fetchy since Wed Jan 24th and not gotten a response, you might have to be prepared to re-send another PM when we announce that he's back. @JoostBaksteen will need to look into it. I would guess there's a small possibility that you may not have to re-send, but we'll see.

Should of had another beer!! :cheers:
 
I've been running modified Iceman's tune (10/30/10 LSD, lower ride height) but didn't like the gears.
Here is what I came up with:

Don’t change max
3.500 final
1 - 3.399
2 - 2.564
3 - 2.137
4 - 1.807
5 - 1.559
6 - 1.337
7 - 1.162

It utilizes all 7 gears. It's wide in gears 1-2, close ratio 3-5, tall 6 and 7. Since the majority of important turns happens at medium speeds having the middle three gears close together helps.
Shift at 8K.
 
:lol: 👍 Never had a DQ, never will :P

Good news and bad...

I have the replay!
Bad news; I lost my set up :banghead:

The night is young..

Setup should be in your messages box, if not I've got it
