I'll keep a look out for the McLaren then
I don't know how you have time for all of this so kudos for doing so! I have had a play with your revised NSX and it's still on the money, definite changes to before and I think for the better as much as I did like the original.
Off to bolt your R8 5.2 tune onto my newly bought and painted Chromeline. 597PP is more than 700bhp I think so I hope the sports tyres are up for it! I did notice this tune is on Sports Mediums rather than the normal hards, so I'm guessing that's for this very reason!
The 5.2 R8 was put in our "supercar" class, the 4.2 runs in the lower class, we try to split the stereotypical supercars (Ferrari, Lambo's, McLaren's etc etc ) from the sterootypical "street" cars like the Scoobies, Evo's, RX7's, Skylines, M3's etc etc (which run 550pp sports hards) - although, there is a little bit of crossover involved.
We used mediums for the 600p supercars as they still seemed to have a fair amount of grip and they just felt pretty good, they have a bit of stability, balance and grip but likewise they can move around a bit and bite you in the butt if you get over confident...which is quite a nice mix. There seems to be plenty of options for both the more skilled guys who like the cars that try to kill you each corner, aswell as those still using pads and X and [] to brake and accelerate.
Quite looking forward to running these
Great great setups. U must have a very good team of drivers as well because I'm a naturally smooth driver and I have to force myself to push more because I'm not even heating up the tires, so stable, a bit understeer but I'm sure that's my driving style. I just wanted to comment that I don't think there is anything wrong with the MR tire model. There are just more factors to consider.
For one, the race tires have a ton more grip, but the also go over the cliff so to speak when losing grip, while the street tires have a much more gradual loss of grip. Combine that withthe axis of rotation being right at the ccenter of the car in a MR, you have to strike a careful balance between the front and back so there isn't too much rear end grip when you hit the gas pedal. Because of all the weight in the back, they tend to nose up and get too light at the front. Raising the back ride height relative to the front seems to help. And for me personally, running 30, 60, 20 diff helps too. If it's spinning when u transition from brake to gas I'll go up on initial. 40 in the delta wing for ex.
Great job to you and your team for these.
Cool - many thanks for your feedback
👍
Try changing camber to 0.0 on the cars you're having trouble warming the tyres on..
I'm really lucky that we have a good bunch of guys who don't mind chipping in with testing setups, tuning theories etc etc.. They vary alot in terms of driving styles and speed, but most can run consistent lap after lap.
It helps me and in return they get their cars dialled in and a bespoke troubleshooting service, so it seems to work pretty well..
The MR cars are still a bit of an enigma, some are OK but others just don't respond to either normal smooth driving, or normal / quite extreme tuning methods.
Guys from different websites who actively seek out the wild MR cars and love to race them on stock (or lower grip) tyres feel that something is just not right. If these guys are starting to raise questions, these cars not being a problem through-out GT5, some other drivetrain cars emerging with the same problem and other MR cars being suitable for racing - to me that speaks volumes that something isn't just quite right...
We have some setup, with no ballast, same tyres etc etc but everyone who drives them feels they feel 'dead' and just wouldn't be suitable for close quarter racing..
