yes people struggle with this. not everyone is a pro video game driver like you. to you i say **** you. try telling that to my 10 year old when i have to explain the reason why he cant win the race. i have to stop him from crying because of cocky little ****s like you who think it's a "doddle". maybe stop and think every once in a while. not everyone is the same age you are.

To the people who are saying if you can't gold nurb, "you lack fundamental driving skills" that is not the case for everyone so don't act so high and mighty. I had no problem with any other tracks, it's just the combination of not knowing the nurb track that well and driving too conservativly because I don't know the track well enough and when I do push too hard and go in the grass the race is over. After about an hour of trying I was so p!$sed off I couldn't even make it a few turns without crashing. I just don't have the time or the patience to gold nurb, best I did was 3rd and haven't tried it again since saturday night. I golded my B, A, and Super licences, so I'm pretty sure I know proper driving technique.

i did all of this except the gearing. some of the ratios i cant get to. but we will see what happens without it.

I think it would be very simple to make a challenging grid start, just give the opponents a higher pp limit, or use the boost system so the other cars will speed up or slow down based on how you are doing. The boost system works great online for making races close so why can't they use the same system for a spec and seasonal.

Gearing is VERY important to any setup. Close-ratio gears, setup properly for the track, can mean the difference between gold and bronze. Although I use Praiano's tune and haven't tried Fruitycakes' tune, I assume the transmission setting will be equally important.
There's a "trick" to setting the transmission in this way. It's called, coincidentally enough, the "Tranny Trick".
1. You begin by resetting the transmission. (Do it even if you believe it doesn't need to be done.)
2. Set the Final Gear to whatever is indicated. In this case, 3.140.
3. Adjust the Max Speed (option 2nd from bottom, above "Reset to Default") in km/h or mph. In this case, it's 124 mph or 200 km/h.
4. Change each of the gear ratios to those listed. (Eg. 1st must be 3.975.)
5. You're done, but if you want to increase or decrease the Max Speed (listed top right), change Final Gear and nothing else or you will have to perform the whole lot again from the start. Adjusting Final Gear doesn't just affect top speed though, it changes all of the gears. Reducing the Max Speed by changing Final Gear will result in 1st, 2nd, 3rd, etc. producing a lower top speed but accelerating more quickly.
You should be able to get the correct gears this way. Praiano also provides a tutorial on how to set your own close-ratio gears.
i did all that and the lowest i can set first is 4.987. its the same with all the other gears. i can only go so low. and i am resetting to default. it just isnt working.

A while back, PD changed the gear settings for many, if not all, cars. The result is that if the tune was made before the changes, and you are trying to setup a car after these changes, they won't match up.
As you've no-doubt done, the best you can do is as close as possible.
I'd assumed Fruitycakes' tune was a new tune. Perhaps it is not. I'll have a go at setting my transmission to the Fruitcakes one and let you know how it goes when I am home.
Edit: This was posted on page 17 of this thread:
"Transmission: from Fruity/luv2drive
Reset to default
Set Top Speed to 168
Set FG all the way right
Then set gears:
1st: 3.074 (I moved it up to 3.125)
2nd: 2.298 (2.325)
3rd: 1.758 (1.800)
4th: 1.417 (1.475)
5th: 1.177 (1.250)
6th: 1.008 (1.025)
Final Gear: 3.260"
It has a slightly different method and alternate gear ratios.
2nd Edit:
The Fruitcakes transmission came NOWHERE near what my transmission could reach. I have no idea what the deal was there.
The 2nd method I've listed under "Edit" works ... mostly. With this method, I could set all of the Fruitycakes ratios, but I could not set 5th or 6th of the alternate ratios (in brackets).

I'm not some teenage kid who spends 12 hours a day playing GT5 in a dark room... I'm a 45 y/o sales manager who spends no more than an hour a week on GT5.
If some can gold it and some can't then those that can't are either 1) not as quick or 2) don't know the track as well.
Not sure how I was being 'cocky'... I gave advice on how either of those 2 issues could be adressed. People need to face reality... there's no miracle tune that will suddenly make this easy, so focus on improving your skills 👍

Then follow the 2nd piece of advice - go run the Mercedes Challenges and learn the track.

Do you want to win in Rome in a clean way?. I'm sorry, but I can't help you. Do you want to win in Rome anyway, even if it is in a dirty way.? If you accept I can help. Please tell me if you are agree.

For people having trouble matching gear ratios. Alot of other things will affect the gear ratios of the transmission such as engine parts installed, oil change, and if new wheels are installed or not. All of these must be done exactly as the tuner has done in order for gear ratios to be matched.

And if memory serves, Fruity's setup did include oil change and new wheels, as well as lots of new parts.
I duplicated his setup with no problems, so it can definitely be done.
If anyone can't get those numbers, they've missed something in their setup, I think.

Nope. The question was first asked on page 5, but your possible solution was on page 8 (which others writing on the same page then overlooked). I guess we all overlook things from time to time.

The Miura with praiano's tune is just magnificent at Toscana. Won by 30s at 550pp, kept dropping the pp and still kept winning. My best so far is 465pp for just over 2M credits at 150% bonus. If I can do that with my sloppy driving I'm sure some of you could go a lot lower. 14M seems like a lot but at that rate it will pay for itself in no time and it is huge fun to drive.
It's going to need a different set-up for the nurb though. It's far too low and stiff for that bumpy old farm track.

Page 5 for me so I guess it all depends on how you look at it. (I have it set so I view 25 posts per page, lol)

Ah man! Last night I trailed the last Miura 1 second through the finish line. Murcie SV fully stock ABS 1. Ran all clean and even had a couple loose moments. After that with the same lineup I couldn't get to within 5 seconds-weird as I kept improving my overall time.

I had to take a break from this one for a while. I won SSR5 easily with the Super Veloce. I bought a Gallardo and tried Fruity's tune on it. I could not get the gear ratios even though I tried all the mentioned suggestions to set the ratios. I won Toscanna last night on the first try with part of Fruity's tune and part of my own.
Rome is a real struggle for me. I have come in 2nd like 8 times. I am loosing it in the first turn. I am either to fast or too slow. What speeds are those who have run Rome running into the first turn? The best I can do is about 65-68 mph without hitting the wall. I am sure this is where I am loosing the race because I can get to 2nd.
Would some of you please post your speeds entering the first turn. I am using the '08 Gallardo. Thank you in advance.

one other thing i've noticed and this might just be me. it takes forever to get first place but if you manage to do it on the last lap the lead lambo suddenly lets up. i did this on route 5 and made up close to 7 seconds in the last half lap. it took me the whole two laps before that just gain the same amount of time. why is this?

I think it's to mitigate the fact that sometimes your opponents can outclass you esp. in the PP restricted races.
FINALLY beat the Lamborghini 550PP challenge after a week of trying. Did all races with the stock Aventador with the exception of the Nurburgring. For that I used the Gallardo with SRF on, plus all the mods and setup that's been suggested, although I added the ECU upgrade and gave the front end more camber. I also increased throttle sensitivity for greater exit speeds. All in all this has been great fun but super aggravating. And I'm now sick of Lamborghini and their ridiculous amounts of understeer and utter lack of poise through any corner. I would have killed at any point for my 458, MP4-12C, or even my modded out M3 CSL. The Aventador is a great drive though, albeit virtual, but does anyone else think that PD just used the same engine sound from the Murcielago?

Gallardo will do about 65 in that first corner with little camber and Soft sport tyres. Try braking a little later (and by little I mean 2-3 feet) turning in sooner, and holding the rear end from sliding with the throttle. It's a tough first corner. Remember it's important to get back on that gas quick because it's flat out until turn six, and then another long straight to turn seven. You should be in 8th by the end of the first lap.

You'll have to do the Ring in 7 minutes flat or less. I suggest using the Gallardo without the wing. The wing takes top speed off, the sport softs are enough to keep you on track. That high speed is needed, and the first 5 turns are crucial. You'll have to pass the Countach before the bridge. If by the 2nd split time you aren't 22 seconds behind, you probably won't win.
agreed. and also if you are not within drafting distance of the first place car coming into the long straight you probably wont win.
