Minolta Toyota 88C-V Race Car 89

[holliday50]

these settings are superb! thanx for posting em

x2....ran sub 40 second laps @ Indy...used ride height of -20/-16 with this tune.

Thanks man! Fumes is the man, can't wait until he starts doing GT5 tunes. I think he's still active on GTVault.

I really hope GTVault opens up for GT5 soon!

Great set-up! I just had to thank you !
Came 4th max with my own set-up and with this one im first after 3 corners (b-spec)
Thanx

these settings are superb! thanx for posting em

Anyime

Many Thanks, just used this spec to win Like The Wind Indy by 13 secs. One tip I picked up from elsewhere, use a low Bob driver as they braked less.

My level 23 Bob with Inters and slightly different (but still modded) set up went from 1st to 4th in the last corner previously

Enemy916 that setup is perfect for the minolta!!!! I only bought the middle rpm turbo for easier corner exit but other than that, it's flawless! Thanks!

Thanks for the tune, I used this for my B-Spec driver on the extreme events. With the car stock the driver(s) were only able to achieve 2nd place with a little help from me. After using this tune I was able to get back to work and just let them race. They took gold in all 3 races.

The adjustments that I made to the tune are in bold above. The B-Spec drivers have to used RH tires so I am sure that this car will handle even better on soft of medium tires.

I know this topic is already a bit old, but:
Thanks for the tune, also for the original poster.
This really makes the car great to drive, just be careful with the throttle :-)

 

[Chuck Finley]

The best tune for it is this.

Its a ****ing pile of crap. Not sure what car that is in the image, close enough i guess.

The Minolta is great!

Ride height: X / X + 4 X = depends on track
Spring rate: 14.8 / 15.8

wtf no SR recalculation ?

 

[JayHiram]

This is what I used for GT4 (thanks Fumes!), same principles should apply.

Down force = 63 / 88

Ride height: X / X + 4 X = depends on track
Spring rate: 14.8 / 15.8
Decompression = 7 / 7
Compression = 6 / 7
Stabilizers = 4 / 4

Camber = 2.5 / 1.0
Toe = 0 / 0

Brake balance = 6 / 5

Initial torque = 10
Acceleration = 40
Deceleration = 9

TCS = as low as you feel comfortable with

This looks good!

Did you use chassis reinforcement? And what did you use for downforce? Max is 60 & 85, is it not?

The Minolta is great!

I'm just learning to drive it and finding it a handful.

The main problem is the throttle curve - it seems to be a very peaky engine and/or lots of turbo lag. It's like you flick a switch half-way through the throttle travel, and it throws the car off-line.

it seems to be a very peaky engine and/or lots of turbo lag.

Fit the mid range turbo kit not the high end. Yes you drop a few bhp but try it. Net results count.

 

[uMadson?]

For me though, it's a killer at high speeds, when tuned with enough downforce. What kills me though is the sudden wheelspin at gears 3-4. It just helps me spin out, which is usually fatal.

Haven't tried your setup yet, but will defently try,

Just took i a spin around Circuit Le Sarthe (Le Mans), and I beat my own trackrecord, first try, with just a rough tune. Previous track record was with the Peugot 908 HDi FAP - Team Playstation. My now "used to be" favorite car.

Now I for sure know, what to drive my 24h Le mans and Nürburg Nordschleife in.

Can't belive I haven't used it more...

This can be countered by widening out the gear ratios by a couple of clicks. With a car that powerful it doesn't make too much difference to the overall acceleration but you will find you have a bit more speed to play with on the long straights.

It's really simple, actually.
The reason why is just camber. More specifically, front camber.
Think of it this way.....

Negative camber makes your front tires look something like this / \. That makes the car not want to transfer weight onto the lean in tire, and it transfers the weight, and throws the car into a powerslide. It's somewhat like pushing a shopping cart sideways through an aisle. It isn't anywhere remotely as efficient as tilting the tires in their desired position.

Positive camber makes the tires like this \ /. This makes the car want to shift the weight onto the tire, and gently glide through the corner.


THE ONE THING YOU DO NOT WANT TO DO: Is add too much camber to the front tires, which makes the car enter the corner and then push when the second wheel cannot grip in unison with the other tire. Personally, I would only add .25-.5 Degrees of camber at a time until you start to feel the car push, then take out the increment you just added.

And that is what you learn from LMP endurance tuning
