Hi all,
Before I embark on tuning myself, I'm interested to know how accurate a guide the increase/decrease of PP is for cars in this game.
I imagine the beauty/goal of tuning yourself is to taylor cars to your driving style and each track, rather than adapt to style, handing, output of cars, but how much of an insight do we get that my ammending settings and increasing PP is generally optimizing a car, assuming you're using same parts? It seems obvious that sticking a turbo upgrade in any vehicle (ignoring probably fuel economy reduction) is going to enhance due HP increase and significant PP increase.
But, if getting more granular with individual LSD, suspension settings, can we generally assume the car is going to be 'better' before tracking it if we change toe angles and see PP increase, (or vice versa if it decreases).
This is ignoring the fly in the ointment around reported 'glitches' where PP can change suddenly in some (many?) instances after making minor amendments in some cars. Also, PP isn;t measured against tracks is it, so playing with downforce will effect PP, but lap times will be effected depending on downforce for example if running too much/less on more technical circuits v higher speed tracks - ie no point to my knowledge running high downforce on ovals compared to somewhere like Tsukba.
Like I mentioned in the first paragraph, understand that ultimately the benefit of tuning is customizing a car to suit you along with generally improving its output. Kind of like being a sportsman choosing his running shoes and some may go for slightly cheaper pair/brand as fit, design may suit the athletes style, requirements more than the top of the range Nikes, despite on paper the Nikes objectively being a better shoe - materials, sponginess, size of heal, gait, pronation may work better for athlete B v athelte a, despite all metrics indicating the expensive shoe is better in theory in most situations for all athletes...
Anyway, rambling on, but would be interested to know from people
