Thanks Cargo!,
after 30 min, I was able to beat the Annivarsary TT event with 9:08s
.
..and...
after another 4-hrs of chasing the lead Miura at Nurb, I finally passed him on the long straight and bagged the Nomad Diablo...

Thanks.
It really is a good feeling when one gets to complete such event.
Last night, I was able to confirm that there where several things that made it hard for me for the last 2 months.
1. The gas pedal and the brake pedal of my driving wheel is offsetted and worn out already. (its over 8 yrs old). I noticed that while driving, display intermittently brakes a little on its own, and flooring the gas pedal does'nt get to the cars max rev. the display shows it reaches only ~85% of the max rev. So I opened up the pedal assemble and found out that the potentiometers used by each pedal is loose causing the intermittent actions. To fix.. i just inserted 2 folded cardboard papers underneath the potentiometer and it worked like magic. my gallardo's 235kph straight solo then becomes ~280kph and it doesnt brake on its own.
2. I also realize that I use downshifting too much when using paddle shifter, so I disabled the paddles and use only the stick and It improve my overall speed on tracks like Nurb. I am mot saying im letting go of my paddles but I will be using the stick more often on several tracks.
3. I need to perform some more on drifting and handling. sometimes one needs to slide through some corners.
btw, I already tried to run the Diablo in the super GT seasonal and non of my setup worked. I cant drive that darn thing. looks very cool though.. :0

Congrats on your persistence and success. I know all too well how annoying it can be trying to drive with wheels and pedals that are acting up, too. Hope your fix holds. There are some discussions about how to deal with issues like you describe in the Sim Racing Hardware section of the forums. Maybe you can get some help there if the problem returns.
When downshifting it is often a good idea to not downshift the last time you think you need to, at least not when entering the corner. It tends to unsettle the car. High RPM combined with rapid changes in RPM in low gears can easily overload your grip. So if you for example take a corner at a speed that you would expect to be in second when accelerating in a straight line, stay in third. It might be better at times to drop to second but knowing when it is a good idea takes time and experimentation. If you aren't sure it's often helpful to stay in a higher gear until you are back on the gas(if you find yourself bogging down by staying in the higher gear).
Also, try to take note of your timing when downshifting. As you drop down to the lower gears you'll want to wait a little bit longer before each downshift - particularly into third and second. Downshifting too fast will sometimes actually slow your deceleration because of the way GT5 deals with over-revving, as well as causing the car to become unstable - particularly if you drive without ABS.
That Diablo is not a terribly easy car to drive but it is very fast when you can tame it. It's a monster in the GT500 races because it has much more power than the other GT500 cars. As I understand it, as it comes in its default form it isn't actually GT500 spec but it qualifies for the races because it has run at that spec at times. In the description I think it mentions 3 or 4 quite different forms it has raced in.

Thanks Morgoth... I will take note of these great infos for learning how things are done with wheels, pedals and sticks. And I am going to run the Diablo again, for me it is one of the hard to get prize in gt5.

Congrats on your success. I admire people like yourself that share the same persistance as I do. I'm always pushing members in the WRS to Never Give Up (NGU) when they get fustrated and want to throw in the towel. I always like to see people do the very best that they can. You are a great example of what can be accomplished if you just stick with it. Keep a positive mindset and with persistance, you can do anything. Keep that attitude my friend and you will go far.

eahh the feeling was so .........i have no words to describe that...when i won the the miuras in ring with my gallardo (DS3)......maybe the best challenge of all..
the first thing that i did after that was to try to win the miuras in ring with mine miura and i did it
I hate that car but i love that....lol
congratulations to all of you

That will not be all,
you can also refer to what Morgoth_666 has told me. that helped me a lot..

Good Luck!!
The trans setup doesnt make any sence at all. Whatever i do i cant get it to match that.
I have done all above it.
This is what i get:
TRANS RESET DEFAULT (Done)
FINAL 3.140 (Done)
MAX 124 (I take this as Max Speed? If so, Done).
1 3.975 (Here i get, 4.987 - 6.667. I cant get 3.975?)
2 2.530 (Same here, doesnt work)
3 1.992 (..)
4 1.633 (..)
5 1.373 (..)
6 1.165 (..)
TOP MAX SHOULD BE 190MPH (Havnt got here yet)
As you can see, i cant get it to match at all. So what am i doing wrong?
I do follow step by step, Buying the car, Buying all the things in the list (I dont do oil change as it doesnt say to do it).
I have used a lot of setups from the forums here. This is the first one i got problems with.
Have tried Shoe67's setup until now. Gonna try this and see if its better for me.
Shoe67's works great, but i cant seem to get close enough. 3rd place is my best (only 2 Miura in the race)
Yesterday i had 3 Miura's and got 7sec behind the winner. Did everything i could at that race (i think)
He got a 7.04 lap tho, thats rather fast.
Help would be awesome
Thanks guys // Mjolkspam

I manage to win the nurb race. 7.04 something.
But i "cheated" a little in the beginning by going straight over the grass, earned a 1 or 2.
Second time was in the end, after the long straight i just went over the grass again, and manage to turn and make the last turn pretty good
If i wouldnt have done that, i would be second with 1-2 sec if not more.

My Murcielago is absolutely incapable of handling this event at all. If I drive it similar to the way I drive my Gallardo, I don't catch up to 11th place before Flugplatz, which is much too late to remain within contention.
If I drive a tiny bit faster, my SS tires lose grip before Hatzenbach (first right turn) and I hit the wall.
But... in the Gallardo (and trust me, this is still insanely difficult to drive) I slow down to within 10mph or so of the speed I know I can corner at. If I time it right, the tires don't heat up too much and the car can "coast" through the corner slightly faster than if I had braked later and harder. This in turn gives me better exit speed. This goes right along with not making the last downshift you normally would to maintain stability. However, it's not enough to allow me to place better than 3rd.
The Lambos are so wistful and twitchy, it's almost like you are only suggesting them where to go, and if they wish and feel like it, maybe they'll go there, and won't kill you in the process...

I cannot make this tune work at all. The car doesnt steer. Both pethros and stotty provide tunes that actually handle. One is front heavy the other rear heavy, but both setups are DRIVEABLE, unlike the fruitycakes tune, which is very unstable.
The first turn is a sharp left, then a wide right and a kink... with fruitycakes, I cannot turn right at the kink, the car just goes straight into the wall. No, I am not braking while turning, no I am not going too fast. Any of my cars can take the kink at 110-120mph, except the fruity lambo, which understeers at 90, so I won't be using that. Can't even catch up to 10th place by Adenauer... ridiculous...
But I can tune my tranny to those exact ratios given, not like it really matters much, most gear tunes work equally well.

First try i was 25 seconds too slow. After a bunch of practice I improved dramatically to just being 1.6 seconds too slow. I just ran it again, and I passed the lead car on the left kink on the last long straight ... then the bugger bumped me from behind sending me into a tailspin. Victory will be so sweet when I finally beat this. I love the challenge!
For those who are horrible at the Nurburgring like I was, I highly recommend the AMG Driving Academy Special Event. It worked wonders!
Edit: Got Gold last night! It's night and day how much I improved. Practice makes perfect...

That bothers me that I get an email notifying me of a new reply and instead it's THIS. An old post that has been discussed half to death in this very thread about the gear ratios. And TWICE too.
Please go and learn how to abbreviate quotes, read more thoroughly, and please please preview your posts before posting them twice.
You can get these gears. Just not by the method assumed from the post. It is assumed that you set the final gear to 3.140 and then the top speed to 124 and then try to adjust each gear ratio to the values stated. I am not going to give you exact step-by-step instructions, mainly because the minute details of the gear tune depend on your car, what ratios you have set at this time, etc.
I suggest resetting the gear box first. Then adjust the top speed (auto ratio) slider so the individual gears change to values that are reasonably close to the ones you want, then changing them to the exact values individually, then adjusting the final gear to 3.140. That's how I set mine to these ratios, once I gave up hoping for a correction by the member who posted this setup originally.
The final drive gear does not affect the gears' numbers, but the top speed slider does. Each time you adjust this slider, all the gears change, and with them change the range you can adjust them to. For example, if TS is set to 124 and your first gear can be set between 3.888 and 4.250 (pulled from my hat) and when you adjust to 145 you can set it between 3.250 and 3.879 (again I made these up). You need to find the top speed slider setting that allows you to set the gears to these values and when you adjust the final, the ranges don't change, but the actual top speed does.
Play with the gearbox until you get a feel for what the settings do, and eventually you will understand how to set your ratios to whatever you want.
I sure hope that PD will make this slightly less confusing on GT6, because I think just talking about top speed and top speed sliders confuses everyone. And the fact that you can't "freely" adjust the gear ratios unless you tweak the automatic settings is simply stupid. In a real garage, if I tell the mechanic to put a 0.7 gear on my 5th and a 1.0 on my 6th, he will do it, even if it doesn't make sense. You can set your suspension to numbers that are totally impractical, and there's no automatic adjust there. Why have that junk on the transmission?

That's exactly why I am here, some people need to chill out and realize not everyone is at the same level, I am having a hell of a time, I have only been playing for a couple of months and am not a good driver but I am trying and I need help...
this tune goes more with how I drive
