Deep Forest Tunery Test Data
How to select and optimize drivetrain components, and the not so obvious effects.
by budious
Do you think your drivetrain is already optimized? If I had one guess at your car, I'd say it's equipped with a twin-plate clutch and semi-race flywheel, but if this is the the case, then you should think again. So now you're probably thinking, "so why would the best 'not be the best'?"
This is the current
issue plaguing many tuners between their
offline and
online tunes, so let's clear up that misconception first. There is
nothing different with the physics between the two modes, there is only one difference, circumference of your tires is no longer constant; therefore, problems that currently exist in your "
offline" tune are simply obscured by residing on the threshold between being noticable and being a non-factor. Once tire wear is factored into the equation, the physics engine starts showing you where your tune is wrong. It's not in the suspension, it's not in the aerodynamics, it's not in the tire grade, it's not in the power plant, nor the weight of the car - it's simply the drivetrain.
