help my diablo gt2 spins every corner

[godlameroso]

You're all wrong, the problem is the tires you're using!!!!! I had the same problem with the Evora, using the same type of tires front and back would result in uncontrollable oversteer, so I did what tuners and car manufacturers have been doing to mitigate this, STAGGER THE TIRES!!!!!!!!. So if your oversteery death trap is constantly plowing you @$$ end into the wall try using less grippy rubber up front. For example if you're running sports softs in the back use sport mediums up front.

If you're using sport hards in the rear use comfort softs up front, this will allow you to actually drive the friggin car. You're welcome.

I'm gutted with the Cizeta, its almost impossible to keep on the track unless you drive it like a pensioner, tyres make no difference, same goes for the Countach Anniversay, thought I would rag my premium Countach around the Nurb and sit back and drool over the replay, must have spun off six times before flugplatz and that's the car in stock form with racing medium tyres, not good...

Stagger the tires, stagger the tires, stagger the tires, repeat after me, stagger the tires!

Not really required if you set it up properly. I'd certainly not recommend doing this with tyre wear either, as you'll end up with a massive imbalance in tyre wear over a run and it'll handle like crap pretty quickly.

Edit: Here's what I'm running

RH 60/70
SR 19.14/21.09
COMP 4/4
EXT 4/4
ARB 4/3
CAMBER 2.8/1.8
TOE 0.00/0.05
BB 6/4

No upgrades, so the gearing, LSD, aero etc are all stock settings. Only run on Racing Hard front and rear.

Put some weight over the front wheels, seems to work a charm. I did 100kg all the way to the front on ballast settings. Probably a little extreme, but you can tweak it.

Thanks mate, worked like a dream, Catapulted the Countach around the Nurb, fantastic, worked on the Cizeta too not so good though, Countach had racing hard front and medium rear, may try soft rear on Cizeta : )

With a combination of your suggestions this car is drivabele now. To all of you: Thank you very much

My favorite ways to stabilize a car's balance:

1. Increase LSD Initial Torque
2. Increase rear Toe-in
3. Add weight to the front axle
4. Increase rear downforce
5. Decrease rear spring rate and shocks / Increase front spring rate and shocks

Stabilize during braking:

1. Increase LSD Deceleration
2. Decrease rear braking strength / Increase front braking strength
3. Increase spring rates and shocks front and rear

Great tune. Got it working just to my liking with just a little tweak. I found changing front camber to 2.5 and front toe to -0.05 reduces understeer a tad and enables you to take corners much faster.

I was fine with this car until I tuned it up to 590PP - after that it was a nightmare. Having had a bit of a fiddle, its definitely better.

This made the biggest difference (cheers, trustjab!). This is the rest of the suspension:

RH 61/59
SR 12.61/19.46
DC 4/4
DE 5/5
ARB 4/3
CA 1.0/0.8
TA 0.15/0.35

BB 7/5

I'm a rubbish tuner, so its still a handful through the fast corners, but much more predictable. Racing hards is fine - no need for softs. Hope this helps!

You sure you're talking about the Diablo GT2? I was going to try your tune but my rear suspension spring rates won't go as low as 19.46. Lowest it will go is 20.41.

Racing tyres.... When will people learn that road cars are horrible with them? Put realistic tyres (for a '88 car perhaps comfort softs, maybe sh) on the countach and it drives much, much better.

 

[kollosson]

Countach is fixed, racing hard front, medium rear...sorted

You're right - I got the Diablos mixed up. Sorry!

All true and good answers that will solve the problem.

You CAN mix front and back tires in a pinch BUT as stated it's going to do some bad things in the long run.

Seeing as how I drive em and over six generations of GT I never figured out how to tune em, I'll have to wait for the good people of the tuning community to roll out their usual level of excelent tunes

Well the game was just patched recently Greggypoos your settings are realy something. My SR rear wont even go that soft 20.41 is max soft must be the new patch ya think? What did they do to MR cars or all ef em for that matter? Anyone notice a difference in any of your cars?

Look at post #42.

My Diablo GT2 handling is just fine. I managed to Gold the Grand Valley Super Gold Seasonal by driving the car just as I won it, no mods, no tunes, nothing. SH tyres, TCS and all other childish assists off, except ABS on +1, and oil change. I managed to get 1:07.9xx - GOLD! I actually quite enjoy driving it... very rewarding.

 

[shaunm80]

This link is my tune that I created for the seasonal race. tuned with TCS 1 and ABS 1 only. Handles really well!
