I haven't touched the NSX as I'm doing the Nurburgring 24Hr this week, I should get a chance for a quick setup before the race, as you can tell I'm not exactly giving it my all this season but I will definitely be back in it for Season 3
I should probably give up my spot for someone else but then I might not get it back for next season!!

Don't give up Soopa, you're always one of the most consistent drivers also if you don't do so much practice or if you play with the DS3.

I am not having any luck,ABS on or off my car still does a high 45 at best with 46 race pace.
I get lots of random-ness and the car feels awkward.
On entry and mid corner I get either understeer or oversteer and I don't know what or when it's going to come.
It also sucks REALLY bad at carrying the brake.
I just wish I knew what is going wrong with either me or the car,there is no way I can be so far off...

I'm exactly the same. Don't know what's wrong. Really getting on my nerves.

I thought times would have been closer on grand valley , seems most people are struggling in sector 2.
The nsx cars should do well here with the really long straight , overtaking should be relatively easy here as well.
Ill have a practice lounge open later this evening .

try going round it in an NSX, even no throttle will try and spin you out, as I've said before I think the NSX is the hardest car to drive... It may just be me but I enjoy the challenge anyway which is why I chose it 
If I'd known I'd be using DS3 I may not have!!

Yes Soopa,that's an issue I have too,part of the "unpredictable" segment.
Especially at the hairpin as soon as you trail off the brake and before you even get on the gas it wants to spin.
The sharp characteristics would be ok if it was quick but it isn't.
I've never worked so hard for so little behind the wheel.

For that hairpin what I do is brake real early and use the natural drift or oversteer of the car to make the hairpin and then only get on the throttle when I'm dead straight , it does spin me out sometimes thought. But normally when I'm going thru that corner I'm not on the throttle or the brake .

I just remembered SkengD you drove the EPSON NSX last season, DNF both times so I guess you already know how hard the NSX is to drive!! 
I would sugest something in the LSD could fix the issue, it will slow the car down no doubt but if it means you can get round that corner more comfortably I'd say over all you'd be quicker, I'm no tuner so I don't know exactly what needs to be done to it but from my limited understanding it would be the place to try...

Oh yes Soopa the nsx was quite a handful , I would like to drive one next season though , either it or the supra.
But if we do stick to the teams idea , I might want to drive a gtr again
I think with the right tuning though you can make it driveable.
My tuning was way off in the first season , I wasn't even running full downforce.
My current lsd settings are torque 6 accel 21 decel 12

Thanks for the tip SkengD, I'll be looking for a quick tune on race day and will give that LSD a try
I too will probably go for a GT-R next season, my brief tests with the Calsonic were very favourable Would love to see Garagefather in an NSX, I bet he would show us how its done in one of those...

Not as much success as me Although how he did so well with a DS3 I have no idea, I believe he used TCS but not sure

Well I ran last season without TCS and ran the LSD at default, I think there were a couple of times where I ran the acceleration and braking about 10 lower than default, to be honest I really don't know what I'm doing when it comes to tuning so it was all trial and error. I had a friend give me some setups to try and sometimes they worked well, other times not so much, but I think that was because he uses DS3 and I was on my wheel. Unfortunately I didn't write my setups down but most of the time I was running camber at about 2.0 front and 1.5 rear, springs were between 12-14, dampers at 6 and anti roll at 4.
As far as driving style goes (with the wheel) I tend to keep the braking in a straight line as much as possible, sometimes leaving it on half as I turn in, I was often setting the rear brake bias higher say 4/7 as front tyre wear was really bad. Gently feeding in the power just after the apex and using that oversteer tendancy to my advantage if I need it to turn a bit more on the exit. Other than that just trying to stay smooth through the turns, which with the DS3 is easier said than done, I'm tempted to go with the wheel this week as my knee is feeling a bit better, but I also don't want to risk using it too early and prolonging the healing process... I was told to stay of it for at least 2 weeks
