McLaren F1 GTR Race Car '97 tune

[Psycho Turtle]

I found a couple of tunes but they do not say if they are for online or not. I also don't know if they are using the new spec II physics. Does anyone have a good online tune for this car. I can't keep the back end from coming around whether I am accelerating or de-accelerating. Thanks!

Just use less gas. I wish I could do a tune for you so bad. This car has alluded me and I just can't find it.

How about the Mazda6 Touring Car? I can't find any tunes for that car. Thanks!

Yes! That car I have been planning on doing for months now since I saw know one did it. Have you driven it stock maybe it's super good already and that's why know one has done a tune for it?

No, I'll try that. I lowered it, stiffened the springs, softened the ASB, and added some camber. But, it is in no way "tuned". Another car I only found a couple of tunes for was the Subaru Dunlop Cusco Impreza '08. Now that car is great stock. Does lowering a car give it more top speed? I can only get 154 mph out of that car at 305hp. Thanks!

Lowering a car will make it faster but it mainly comes down to LSD and transmission for top speed

Lowering the car will slow you down. Not much though, on nurburg I used 3 cars. The first I maxed all out, then lowered as low as possible. The results were 2 to 5mph gains with max ride height. But the lower the car usually results in better cornering speed. All in all I try to keep my cars around 2 to 4 points ABOVE the lowest ride height on tracks with very slow corners. High speed corners and straights raise the car.

Your crazy man. You must not be adjusting the springs and everything else too

It just doesn't have enough HP to pull it through the air. I lowered the down force all the way but I still need more speed on the long straight at Nurburgring. The car handles so well I didn't want to mess with the suspension. But I figured if I could get 2-3 mph by lowering it I would try that also. Thanks!

I have this car and I couldn't drive it without getting the back end out. Then I did loads of drift practice, using the handbrake to flick the back end out then controlling the skid using careful application of acceleration. After a few nights doing this the F1 became much more controllable Now I can drift with slight amounts of power through corners without losing too much traction (I don't even use the handbrake any more). The F1 is a handful, so practice will pay dividends over fiddly tuning of suspension settings - in my opinion anyway.

If im crazy explain how cars are faster around daytona with max ride height. And suspension really doesnt matter, I usually run very stiff springs at nurburg and daytona. Soft springs or hard springs didnt matter, Tried it. IRL you are correct about lowering a car makes it faster, but not in the case of this game. The higher ride height will handle alot different then a lowered car but top speed wise keep raising the car till its comfortable. Example, 41.5s NASCAR Daytona with max ride height, lowest possible ride height, 41.650 to 41.7s, not much on daytona but differences add up on other tracks. Speed difference, max ride height, 223MPH. Lowest ride height, 218-219MPH.

Daytona and nurburgring are very special courses. Daytona is basically an oval and nurburgring is super bumpy. The suspension is totally different than anywhere else. In 98% of the other courses lowering the car is better.

All in all I try to keep my cars around 2 to 4 points ABOVE the lowest ride height on tracks with very slow corners. High speed corners and straights raise the car. Its better for conering or tracks with many slow speed corners, High speed corners its better to have a higher car. Nurburg is better to have a car lowered, but im talking about the effect of topspeed and ride height. for Nurburg you can raise the car to get a higher speed into corners but the contact patch will have the car start to slide due to a higher COG. The lower car wouldn't travel as fast in a straight but can corner at a higher speed. I try to find the best ride height for consistent lap times. Takes a long time but is worth it.

Sorry for double posting but here are 3 unusual 550PP Nurburg setups. To give you a idea of suprisingly very stiff springs. https://www.gtplanet.net/forum/showthread.php?t=224513

Just got this car finally I will make a perfect tune for it soon
