Lotus Elise 111R '04 RM Tune by TeamLotusGT5

[Ride]

Did you buy the right Elise? The '96 RM tops out at around ~265.

 

[RODDUZ]

Forgot to buy the turbo! All done now.

Cheers

I feel like it understeers a little to much as i doesn't seem to make the corners as i try to

Ever heard of the saying Slow in Fast out? Just change your driving style to fit the car mate.

Hello Team Lotus! looks like were from the same neck of the woods, I'm from thetford myself....

Tried your tune and its very good! It felt balanced and tight, yet loose when I wanted it to be.
As im sure your aware I am a new Tuner on this site, so I often compare tunes to see how mine compete...
I found that my tune (Naturally seeing as its my tune) fits my driving style better, but then that conclusion was always going to happen.

All in all a solid tune, I liked it and judging by the feedback on this thread so do alot of people.

Keep up the good work, look forward to trying out any other Lotus tunes you will be doing.

 

[Sephy]

This tune works great! Thanks guys and keep up the good work!

THANKYOU FOR THIS TUNE!
I love it =]
Been winning every race under 500Bhp with this car... I just hope I don't come up against another Team Lotus 111R lol.

 

[DaxCobra]

Changed the tune a bit, try it now... It is better for online, less understeer when tyres are cold.

Nice tune. I've only driven it for about half an hour so I don't have any detailed comments but I haven't found anything to complain about so far.

 

[Hawkey_Dawg]

This may be the best tune I've found for ANY car in GT5. With my driving style it handles like it's on rails.

Awesome job!

👍

Thanks to your set up (less race mod) I just made it around nurbergring in 7:18.341 with 300bhp. Beating my 711bhp Commodore.

 

[piscesking]

Best Setting

 

[Trevherrer]

I can only imagine that its because its exactly te same as the elise if you stick a spoiler on the elise.... then again, it didnt stop them adding 500 skylines...

HAHAH yeah thats probably how they got the 1000 cars in.. damn some of those crappy cars actually anger me as they couldve gone for some more premium cars like the Veyron

 

[Trevherrer]

I have to say it was good on its own till i discovered i hadnt even baught new tires yet haha, when i baught the racing tires it pwnd the hell out of the british lightweight cup

 

[machwebb]

What tracks did you test on?? I test on Deep Forest, because of the good mixture of corners and elevation changes.

I have a good tune but, I will try this one out for sure, it has good reviews. I have entered an elise league and will try some more good set up ideas! Thanks.

I see this is quite an old thread but I'll post mine if anyone is interested.

I bought this car thinking it was like GT4's, but braking while doing anything but having the wheel straight, the car seems to buck out and spin around. Unfortunately the only thing to keep this from happening is the driving aids. I'm using Racing Hards and haven't done all the downforce mods, and I still don't have all the engine upgrades, but I can't imagine more power would help the issue. Is it the difference of Racing Soft's vs Racing Hards that's making the car so squirly when braking while turning?

@ Ozone

I take it you've race modified it?? Definitely get ya softs on, front and rear. try the set up at the top of this thread. And use full aero! I can usually sacrifice rear aero if I need some straight-line performance and then with longer gear ratios (I wouldn't go much over 180 max speed) less likely to over accelerate thru corners And you may want to read up on LSD! I found this really useful from this thread about LSD..

https://www.gtplanet.net/forum/showthread.php?t=150653

LSD job is to limit the difference in wheel speed from the inside wheel versus the outside wheel. You see when turning around a corner the outside wheel has to travel a further distance, thus it has to turn MORE times around then the inside wheel. The results is two wheels (right and left) have different spinning speeds is they have different grip levels, this causing loss of traction so the wheels slip and you lose control. The LSD can lock the inside wheel and the outside wheel together via the driveshaft, this forces each wheel to rotate at the same speed. So the 3 basic settings work like this:

Inital - this effects how quickly the LSD reacts to the tires spinning, it also an overall power setting for the whole LSD system, turning it all the way down means the Accel and Decel settings don't really effect anything.
Accel - this effects how "locked" the wheels are when accelerating. On an FR (front engine / rear drive) configuration turning this up creates a "posi" style rear end, making it harder for the wheels to spin at different speeds. Think of it as a percentage, the higher number the more the wheels will be held together at the same speed.
Decel (braking) - opposite of the Accel setting, it keeps the wheels locked to each other as the car is slowing down.

If you turn up the LSD too much the car will understeer as the wheels attempt to run at the same speed which forces the car to only going straight ahead. However if the car is spinning out due to oversteer (too much wheel slip) turning up the LSD should fix it. Even FF (front drive / front engine) car can benefit from LSD as they spin their tires and lose grip when accelerating out of a turn.

Hope this helps, I'm a big fan of the Elise 111r RM, I'm finding that with all aides off, I'm quicker than with them on, If I keep my right index finger under control.

hey machwebb,

I appreciate the response. I have NOT done the race mods. I'll do that (just started playing gt5 a few days ago) once I get the dough, along with racing softs. Looks like I should upgrade the whole thing before I start bitching

Also did a quick readthrough but will read again on the LSD link!

Make sure you buy a new car to do the race modifications on as you will lose any previous modifications done to a car when you race modify it.

 

[ozone]

Sorry to be offtopic, but seriously? "Racing Modding" replaces all existing mods? Good to know, and damnit. Money sink already.

 

[machwebb]

ozone - i have a 111r that hasn't been race mod'ed, when I get chance I'll post up the settings!

 

[ozone]

Just Race Modded last night, and I take back any cruel word I said in my earlier post. Holy mother of god. This thing is amazing. THIS is the car I remember from GT4 (and then some). You're right machwebb, the aero really helps on this. I switched aero back to normal and went Racing Hards, and it was like night and day.

 

[Trevherrer]

I love it on smooth tracks but on the Nurnburgring it hopps around a little too much for my taste, loses control over bumps and as you have a lot of corners you have to brake into, it loses its tail kind of often on that.. any slight changes that might prevent this from happening?

 

[machwebb]

Raising the ride height will help it over bumps in theory. But I'm sure there's more you can do with the suspension to help. Probably allowing more extension but Honestly I don't change my set up for the nurb that much, just gear ratios, my set up seems pretty good around there. I'm no expert tho.

 

[drjordesh]

ive done everything but mine stuck on 309 bhp..

this car is one of my favourite coz it lets me to beat the stock mclaren f1 94 )

 

[Lagitech]

This is perfect! You can take those corners so aggressive and fast.
Really nice job.

 

[generalshaft]

What about downforce?
