I hate this car!

 

[lldantell]

I hate this car!

I am thinking of the same thing.

 

[croozer_63]

Yeah, not a big fan of it either, got a reasonable time and done with it. Off to play with my new Subaru, that's more like it!!!!

 

[dddsprayshop]

well, took me 30 minutes before i started to use my own settings.
After 8 minutes i got 1:32.750 and i'm very happy with that.
Car is indeed very slippery, the first corner after the start, you loose the most time when you make a mistake at that corner.

Spoiler: simple settings

\edit, updated setting.changed traction and abs settings

@nowcontrol thanks for setting up these topics.👍

 

[sheene76]

I know it's early days, but a 1:32.272 has put me 637th. I'm pretty sure that's the highest I've ever been....no doubt I'll be 5637th by the end of today

Well I wasn't far off, just checked and I'm now 6028th, lost five and a half thousand places in two days.

 

[Aleppo]

I think 560-570pp is good enough for this race. The car is not so slippery and you can make a 1.32 easy with other tunings like hard suspension and racing brakes!

 

[Lucas]

I'll go ahead and say I hate any event that requires you to tune the car.

 

[Polsixe]

I'll go ahead and say I hate any event that requires you to tune the car.

Those are the ones I find most rewarding.

This little bug is like herding cats. LFA time trail all over again.

Going from stock (Silver) to tuned (Gold) + what parts i used.

 

[GTP_CargoRatt]

Used the same car I used way back in a Seasonal at Suzuka I believe it was. Golded on the second lap. Fun little car to drive and I think I'll come back to this one later.

[Racin510s]

This one is giving me fits. I'm with the ones who don't like this car. I have a tune on my Rocket, not sure whose it is. It's either @praiano63 or @shaunm80.. Since those are the 2 I use the most. I had one silver lap going until the last turn before the finish and lost it. Now frustration has set in so I'm done with bronze. Now my DS3 is acting up to boot. Will look for a new one this weekend. I'm never home long enough to go through getting the wheel out. So my hat is off to all those who have gotten gold.👍👍

That was great haha Really made me smile watching the process of mucking around trying to get the gold.

 

[ALB123]

Well, I gave this one a try. A total of 2 laps. One where I realized that I had some strange transmission setup installed and I was bouncing off the rev limiter in 5th everywhere. So, I exited and fixed the transmission and ran one lap - Gold, but not a very impressive time by any stretch of the imagination. 1:32.805 was the lap time. I think I'll revisit this later. Not because I care for the car, so much, but because I really like this track.

Good luck everyone!

Oh, I almost forgot...I used @shaunm80 tune over in Exeter Garage. I don't know what I did to his transmission setup though. I don't even remember when I installed his tune, it's been that long since I've driven this car. I can only think maybe I made some tranny changes for Streets of Willow or something. I honestly don't remember.

Tune updated LIGHT CAR COMPANY ROCKET `07 // 620PP // SPORT HARD TIRES 1:27.460 still room, just a quick tune but i think it´s the way for this event.

I am your loyal fans.
your tune soooooooo GooooooooooooD

Hi guys, here's my tune for the Rocket 07:

620 pp
352 bhp
537 kg

90 90
2.23 3.26
3 3
3 3
3 3
0.0 0.0
0.00 0.50

5 4

final 6500
top speed 180 kmh
3375
2536
2037
1658
1359
3990

5 15 5

all power parts, power 100 %

ballast 147 kg, position 50

+ oil change and rigidity improvement


Currently on 1:25:1 but messed up last corner, 1:24:9 is possible for sure. I see how some better players could do mid 24s with some setup improvements.

Your tune got me the gold, thanks man. It wasn't even that smooth a lap either. Might try to improve later...

 

[DTM]

This is a good fun combo. Like the track and the car. Must agree that 620PP is a bit over done. But still good manageble. Just gave 10 laps with @matej2547 tunes, thanks. Feels pretty good 👍 Good for a 26.6xx for P13 but still plenty of time left. But a low 25 is like . Very nice laptime 👍

 

[gdmnd]

This time I definately thought mr. Praiano had lost more than one of his marbles. Adding weight? Bah, pish tosh! But wouldn't you know! In but a few laps his tune had shaved seconds off my lap time. For the first time in my, rather mediocre, career as a sim racer, my position was shown in three digits. Fantastic tune! Now, this calls for celebration

 

[Tyger]

I took a while to Gold this one, I'm not the greatest tuner in the world and this required a fair amount to meet the PP (though perhaps didn't need to go all the way). Did an oil change and added the usual "free" parts then (for the first time) messed with ballast but just added 10kg which I shoved up front. Did give more balance though, less tail-happy. Then topped the power up again with various bits to make 620PP (didn't use a turbo just engine tweaks and exhaust doodads). Firmed up the suspension a little, put the transmission max speed up a couple of clicks as it was bouncing off the limiter but then realised it was better left at the standard setting.

Anyways managed a 1:32.304, not great but surprisingly high up the leaderboard, shows how tricky this one is compared to the Apricot Hill challenge. Might come back to it as it reminds me of old race cars with skinny tyres, drifting around those corners

 

[Mr P]

Not sure why? but i had this as a 600pp event and that's what i run it at yesterday for 2 pointless hours anyway adjusted the pp to 620 tonight and I can now see why i was losing so much on the back end of the track 👍

Sweet combo! off for some more laps

Try Prianos tune. It got me the gold and last time i checked, was ahead of your time.

 

[ALB123]

Maybe I'll give his tune a shot. I'm positive I could do much better with the tune I currently have. I honestly only ran two laps. I saw that my time was worth a Gold so I pulled my car over and quit since it was like 3:30am and I was pretty tired. BTW, I love your avatar. Such a gorgeous car...

Thank you, Mr. Praiano! That tune is AWESOME! 👍 I spent two evenings trying to better a Silver with a different tune, but after switching to yours, made Gold in two laps!

Thank you for the amazing work you do!

your tune is DS3 or Steering Wheel?

 

[matej2547]

I drive with the DS3, everything OFF except ABS on 1.

Thanks. It's my favorite. I would drive it more often but the engine sound is terrible in this game! I would expect more out of the 20 million cars. :/
