How to Tune RUF's?

[A_Higher_Place]

Hey guys, can some one hook me up with a good tune for RUF's?

I've cut power, added ballast, stretched the tranny, and put racing softs on it.
It was to still kick in. Any hope?

Thanks!

It's err…what's the word…impossible for it to be completely tamed. But the most modern Ruf, the RGT, is actually the car with the closest to 'tame' as you could get with some tuning.

You could raise the rear ride height for more grip at the rear if you have one of the older, more extreme RUFs…but then that only has an effect online, and could have an adverse affect of creating understeer.

But you need to specify which RUF though. Or we can't be too helpful even if we tried.

Leave it to it's insanity. The Yellowbird is psychotic. Spend your money and time on a car that will actually function in a controllable way xD:tup:

Yes, everyone take the easy way out and leave these alone. You won't accomplish or learn anything! Go tune up a Civic with R3s and call it a day.

Or (god forbid), get the noob ricer35 for the ultimate in grip and boredom.

The yellowbird is one of my favourite cars I've driven in GT5.
Nurburgring, Sports Soft Tyres, Stock Power, Weight & Transmission, Tuned Suspension & Diff.

Easily one of the most fun, drives.

BTR
RGT
CTR2

The RGT doesn't really need anything special, actually, you just have to realize you can't slam the brakes while making hard turns without the rear end coming out some. The stock CTR2 is kind of an oddball mix of braking oversteer and acceleration understeer but otherwise isn't that bad either.

The BTR is trickier because it just has a fundamental lack of grip compared to even its stock power. It's basically a Yellowbird with a bit more rear grip.

The biggest problem is that you will not be able to make a RR RUF behave like an FR car. You need to drive a RUF differently... they seem to like a late-apex racing line better. So the problems you are having could be a combination of tuning with driving error.

On my Yellowbird I keep the rear end slightly higher and softer than the front. also set the rear toe to 0.10. That only seems to make it slightly more controllable though. RUF is just one of those cars you have to be easy with regardless of how its tuned.

I've had VERY good luck using some close to real life settings (via Rennlist), basically setting the front anti-roll VERY high, the rear anti-roll VERY low, and giving it a fair amount of camber (~1.5-2.5 front, 2-2.7 rear).

Other settings vary a bit, but that should get you started at least.

Ahhh, my favorite topic of all... How to tune RUFs!!

To tune a RUF, you must first know how to handle a RUF. And I don't just mean throttle control and steering input. But the most important aspect of RUF driving. Weight transfer. Remember, the engine's in the BACK!!! wayyyy out there behind the rear wheels. So you have to be conscious at ALL times of where the weight is and get a feel for how it will react to throttle and steering inputs. Which also means you must know the track and the line thoroughly. With the RGT at 550PP on Sports Soft tires, I've managed low 9-minute laps at Nurburgring 24h. Faster than an SLR McLaren on Race tires!!!

I have a delightful setup for my RGT which i wasn't gonna release yet, since i was working on other crap for my tuning thread, but i guess i'll let it go by the end of this week. Link to my tuning thread is in my signature

I also have a RUF CTR2 setup already posted but it's Pre-Spec II.

For the people having trouble with there brakes while turning, try to go to your brakr setting and lower it to about 4/3. I never use ABS so i lower the brake pressure even more than that to 1/1 and they never lock up for me on nurb but i drive kind if slow anyway haha.

Nice profile pic
The way I prevent braking oversteer is by shifting the weight properly. Carefully balancing throttle/brake and steering input.

The RUF's are so damn fast mostly because you can get around corners with barely any braking at all. Amazing cornering machines.

RUFs can be loads of fun to drive. One quick way to get the Yellowbird to handle more neutrally is to raise the front a bit, put soft tires in the rear and intermediate up front, then add chassis reinforcement (which adds some understeer, negating some oversteer). LSD settings also help. Just know that you can brake too hard unless you are straight as an arrow, and learn how to properly feather the throttle out of a curve.
