Man, I stucked at Nurbu. I tried everything. the best went with Lambo Oldtimer, but still - like 7 second ahead. I am about to goin nuts...
Is there some good setup for such a frustrated drivers like me?

I think there's a good Gallardo tune in this thread somewhere. It's a good test, this one!!👍

If anyone wants a replay of a winning run using my tune Ven posted a page or 2 back and a free run lap to use as a practice ghost then PM me you e-mail and I'll send it through.
The Gallardo is comfortably capable of sub 7 minute laps 👍

I went first for Fruity's tune, and was good enough with it to get third...used Stotty's tune and finally cracked the gold. Nothing wrong or right with either tune, for me it simply came down to driving style.
Thanks to you blokes who put the time into putting together and posting these tunes for the benefit of others. 👍

I think I'm going to have to give 'The Ring' up as a bad job.
I've got down to a 7.16 but I just don't know how I can go any quicker. I just can't go a full lap without having a couple of moments where I go on the grass or go wide. If I could hold it together for the whole lap then I think I might be able to get close but I just don't think I'm quite good enough to win this race.
If I stuck at it all day and kept doing the race again and again then I might get there but I've been at it for about 45 minutes so far and I'm bored already, and also getting annoyed with myself that I can't do a clean lap.

wow, tried 1st time with ASM off. much faster, handling much more erratic, but if u can get used to it, it makes a big difference.
for me about 5-10 sec per nordschleife lap
another thing , if there are 3 miuras, and u can do a really fast 1st 3/4 of track they almost always crash with eachother.

Really? I wonder why no one else has noticed this and mentioned it. That would be an awesome replay to have...

I must thank you for your tune. I used it for all the races because I haven't done them again on this account since I got my DFGT. Was much easier than it ever was before, because A) I could hold a slide thanks to the Active Steering (I think) and this made it faster and B) because you mentioned to not floor the accelerator until you're at the apex, now this was obviously something I wasn't doing before so this as well made me faster. I think I had more trouble on Toscana than on the Ring because by that point I was pretty exhausted, I did all the others some needed a few attempts, the two Rings Nurb and Autumn required a few attempts, but I found on Rome once I'd gotten the hang of the sliding I was able to cut my times down a lot. Previously I was doing 1:14's, with your tune and a bit of practice I was getting 1:12's and a couple 1:11's. On the Nurburgring I had 2 Miuras and managed a 7:06.
So thank you again, it made this seasonal a whole lot more bearable than the last time I tried it with a controller.

I thought that Stotty's tune wouldn't suit my driving style as I've never been able to power slide effectively, but after trying multiple times it finally clicked, and Golded every race with his tune.
Try Stotty's tune and practice until you're comfortable with the tune so that you can slide round some of the corners and floor it out when you're at the apex. This will make you faster and knock off 10 seconds. I found (reading someone elses post in this thread) that with 2 Miura's in the Nordschleife race you don't need to get a ridiculous time, they finish about 7:06 so with a bit of practice it shouldn't be too difficult.
It also helps to learn the ring in other cars when you're not under pressure. The AI can get in the way too many times and cause you to go off track when overtaking, but if you learn the course more without AI, in practice mode you'll soon find good overtaking spots and bad ones. And keep a tally every time you redo the race of where you've overtaken certain AI. If you're ahead of a certain point and in front of say the Murcielago's or Countachs by that point, then you know you're improving - I used these rather than the splits as markers to know how I'm doing.
Also try doing it without finishing the race, but restarting from the pause menu if you know you've not done it by about the last corner. Doing it this way until you win means that your HP slowly rises above the 550 PP limit and means you can get slowly faster and kind of cheats the restrictions a bit.
But do try Stotty's tune if you're struggling, it helped me no end!

Thanks for the advice, I'll give that a go. TBH though I think I'm a bit too agressive with my driving style, which can't help me at all!

I drive very aggressively as well. I noticed that when I did the British Lightweights Seasonal... I would go full throttle and full brake all the time, because you can get away with that most of the time, if you're not trying to be too competitive, other than with aggressive steering, which will just make you lose it.
I found out that if I drive the same car on the same course and brake a quarter second earlier but only half as hard, I get two results: first, I slow down to a better (faster) corner entry speed and second, I don't heat my tires so bad that they lose grip when accelerating out of the corner, which gives me better exit speeds...
I also found that for most of the technical sections of any given track, going full throttle is not only not necessary, but actually not helpful at all either. Firstly, the torque you transfer to the tires may exceed cornering grip making you lose the car, secondly, putting that much stress on the tires makes them wear out faster (or reduce their grip) or heats them up so that when you need to brake or corner, you need to hammer on the brakes (making them hotter yet), reducing both entry and exit speeds.
Same with the Ring in the Gallardo...
Half throttle through the first curvy section and very light or no braking gets me to the first fast section 2 second earlier... and on the apex left turn before the first hairpin, if you go 180mph but no throttle, you can do the turn going 154mph rather than 132mph if I had hammered it and then hit the brakes. I also brake earlier now so my tires are still cool when I give gas out of the hairpin there...
Here I've been driving GT for 15 years and I still learn new stuff every week...💡
edit: I have been on real tarmac circuits, but I never drove on the Nurburgring, I only visited and watched. I have driven fewer cars IRL than I like to admit, however they include a custom 1974 L82 Stingray, built from scratch that my friend let me drive and a white Lamborghini Countach LP 500S (12 cylinders of music behind the seat, wow), both on the same day, both on the AVUS racetrack in Berlin, Germany. Others include a 1986 Ford Escort XR3i (Euro version), which went 220km/h in the rain on the Autobahn to Frankfurt with it's 1500cc motor... and a 70's Ford Granada Ghia (it had a massive engine, but I was rather small when my dad owned it) that toasted road like a blow torch toasts bread...
Even my Honda Accord 1.6L went better than 100 mph when I drove it to Hamburg...
stupid rev limiters here in America....

I finally passed this with a dirty 7:04 lap with Skid Recovery Force on using a DS3 controller. I had a 7:06-7:07 lap going with SRF off and tried punting the first place Miura in the last turn unsuccessfully. With SRF on, it seemed I was able to catch the frontrunners more quickly. Weird.

Not weird - SRF makes you faster. It has been equated to a grader softer tires. So effectively you were running on Racing Hards.

This:tup:
It also makes the Miura very tame - takes the venom out of the sting of the tail.
I might even argue that possibly it felt more like racing mediums......well, wheels made of pritt stick at least

HOPE THIS HELPS ALL!!!
Trying to figure out these transmission settings, bought a new Gallardo and all the specs but can't obtain the gear ratios for some reason. Any help???
Have you by any chance completed the Nurb using his settings?

I did, mostly. My gear ratios were not quite the same as I wasn't able to match exactly, I think I pushed my top speed a little higher, I think I ran with 5/5 brakes, I had at least a little additional tuning on the car giving me higher max power, and I ran with less aero in order to be able to keep some of the extra power---my own trials showed that I was quicker with more power and less downforce.

So, does anyone have a 7:06 ghost replay using a 550pp Gallardo they can email me? The version of the game you're running has to be North American NTSC, I just found out. I got one from Stotty, but since he's in the UK, his replays can't be used in America (or Asia).
My best is still only 7:12 and 4th place, I simply can't get any more seconds shaved off without crashing somewhere, which costs me even more time on the lap, obviously. My last hope is to practice with a ghost.

Cool setup, I've kind of combined yours and Fruity's and has boosted me up 2 places to second, out by 4 secs but made a slight blunder towards Karussell. Just need to fix up a bit a hopefully will have it done later
