It was a good race overall. I can not wait to get some pics from the replay.
Nice job guys.
Kinda sucks to go from 9 to only 6 at the end..
For anyone falling behind on the track, please stay as you are still a part of the race as a whole.
I hope Plc and Rad can get the connections smoothed out.
Majik and Sail for any tunes you find you may still have to adjust it for you. I would play with the LSD cause you can change the car almost completely with that. Best thing is to ask for help as well cause most everyone here is in competition with you but are always more than welcome to help.

Honestly will,
I feel that car (Toyota) is not competive for the PP in this series that it's ranked at ... I worked on it last night for 2 hours trying it all, yet I pull out an NSX or Lexus, it was like night and day.
Anyone happen to save the replay of the GT500 race?
MajikTomI've tried quite a few setups and played around with them for hours. The car just doesn't go! I tried with/without Stage3, with/without chassis reinforcement, seems the best was Stage3 with chassis reinforcement, but I didn't play with the Stage2 car as much. The only tune that felt good wasn't getting me good times. The latest one is a ballance between half decent times and 'not-as-unstable'. Honestly, it could be my driving, but I studied a few other replays and compared with my lines and average corner speed, there's not much I'm doing wrong. Just feels like a weird car...
Funny you should say that, I tried the Toyota and it gave me a teeny bit more joy (not much). The Zed on the other hand, well I was getting 1:22s with it... I only had 2 laps out of a couple hundred this week under 1:24.0 with the Brig.
Not only did I save it, I'm video editing right now. Figured you guys are looking for someone and my racing ain't cutting it, so may as well do something to contribute
I'm still not going to give up on this Honda just yet, however I may skip Spa and just concentrate on breaking this horse for R4... PLC, get us some points at Spa dude! Team Raybrig is looking pretty sad...

Based on Tony's performance in the PAL race I have to disagree.

Yes I have noticed he has the YMS dialed in. He does not accept PM's as I tried to contact him. At the very least guy's, if someone has a good LSD setting, that may help. I was never able to step on the gas through a turn until the car was straight coming out. I'll try again today. I normally don't have this much of problem with tuning.
If you can't step on it, you have to loosen it more. For Laguna I went with the bare minimum of lock and it worked well.

were my LSD values. The only problem was when I accidentally dropped one rear wheel onto the sand I immediately lost almost all drive, but atleast I didn't spin.
To add to this, if you were going to put ballast on the YMS, the rear would be the best place to go.I really think you should try to adjust the handling of the car without using ballast, there are much more effective ways of controlling oversteer and understeer. I would first go for adjusting the ride height if you have oversteer; make the rear much higher than the front. That should fix it, but you might then suffer from understeer depending on the car. If that's the case then it might be worth playing with Spring or Anti-Roll Bar settings instead.
If you also have rear tyres spinning up a lot, then you should change the LSD settings big time. What settings are you running for Initial Torque and Acceleration?
PM Tony too, I'm sure he won't mind sharing a setup with you.
You think right.ok Monstar sent me his replay, but GT5 wont import it. I think it might be because it's a PAL replay and I'm in NTSC. Does anyone know if that makes a difference? Does anyone in NTSC have a reply to send me?
You think right.
I can't answer the second question, but if you're in a race room and want the save, I highly recommend saving it every week, even if you think you don't want anything from it.
Getting replays posted here is like pulling teeth.
BTW - That link in my sig, that says "photo finish racing" is getting updated with an Eneos SC430, Castrol Supra, YMS Supra, and Bandai SC430 tune today.
They're not uber-tunes, or incredibly hard to drive, or track specific, but they work on probably any track and at least give those less knowing a good place to start fine tuning from.
