I'm 100 million percent against changing the car because it's challenging to drive or the track is challenging. There's no reward if you don't have to earn it and you will never be a better driver if you don't challenge yourself.

The Aston GT4 is all about patience, you simply can not drive it like a GT3 car. It doesn't have the mechanical grip or aerodynamics. To be fast you need to focus on corner exits and throttle control. Short shift to second and brake early. The earlier you brake the more momentum you can carry through the corner and the less you are relying on horsepower alone to get you out of the corner. The car is also very floaty, so smooth inputs at high speed are crucial.

Silverstone is also all about corner exits and late apex's. In general high speed turns that lead onto long straights are the most crucial in relation to a good lap time. I can also just about guarantee most people are losing seconds in the S turns in the second sector as well. Try watching a ghost replay of someone faster than you to learn the correct line.

I spent the last 25 mins of today's practice eating pizza and watching rexuz and doomstorm pounding out 2:11s

I was driving that car last night. That Aston is a handful. I'll post a poll. See if you all want to change the car.

Change the car are you for real 👎


Don't give up its early days, work on it! Its a good car

 

[BlownsmokOs]

I just did my first practice session got at 2:12.7 best lap. I'm only able to adjust tire pressure and break balance. Can't change nothing on suspension or downforce, not even ride height. Almost like if it was locked I must be doing something wrong.


also can I be added to psn chat please thanks. Anyone want to add me on psn is welcome to do so.

That makes me so paranoid...

If I lower the air pressure in my tyres will that stop them overheating? Also as the front left is much more prone to overheating than the front right around Silverstone, should I lower the pressure in just the left tyre or should I lower it for both my front tyres?

Also I've seen a few people saying to increase the front aero on the gt4 to reduce understeer in the high speed corners. Only problem is that you can't :/. I'll have a look at the lsd tonight, I'd already lowered it a bit and saw some improvement, but I'm still getting plenty of understeer though the high speed corners.

If you can´t increase the front decrease the rear...💡

That had me me for a little while as well. L2 and R2 to navigate the sub menus (rather that the gear shifters L1 and R1).

I've done this already, but there is a limit to how much benefit this actually gives you. It's not reducing understeer, it's increasing oversteer.

To an extent it achieves the same result, but it's not exactly a perfect solution.

Aiight philpot your bans lifted fella, where you at lol

If I don't see Silverstone again it will be too soon. Practice to death this week on that track and only can managed 2.12.2xx. I just don't like the nervousness of the car. I'm going to leave it at that with the GT4 Austin Martin until Championship qualifying at the end of May.

Same here was lost were to find these options. I wish they would make the UI a lot user friendly. Its my only real disappointment with the game.

 

[BlownsmokOs]

thanks skaankypuppy I didn't see I was pressing wrong button. Sorry for the retarded post yall. I've noticed I'm really bad on cold tires. This is definitely going to affect racing dramatically. Looking forward to trying another practice session later, hopefully I'll get in the 10s.

Work has been crazy this week. I'm going to get on tonight and tomorrow night. Start practicing Silverstone. Does anyone have a tune for the Aston Martin? I haven't had any time this week.

Can we tune for qualify ? I thought the GT4 had to be stock

 

[STALLIONO]

You can tune the car

 

[ozwheels]

It was an idea to leave it stock but we found out you can't disable tuning.

 

[diesel97]

Thanks i thought something was said about it

 

[Pichon617]

@STALLIONO count me out bro I'm not into Tuners I'm more of a spec racer tuning is unfamiliar to me bro sorry.

You should have a hole team to help and share tunes

Okay

Hey buddy, I cant tune either. Im sure anyone on the team will help us understand how to do it. Im looking at this as a learning experience and most importantly, HAVE a good time!!!! I had my first online race today with a few of the guys and even though i didnt do nearly my best, it was fun as 🤬. Thats whats this is all about. So dont leave. This weekend, is it save to say most of us can get together and race. I think doing siverstone and the first two or three tracks on the schedule would be a good idea. Saturday and sunday im wide open to play. The wife has to work and its just the kids and I. Also a reminder Zakspeed has a race set up for sunday at 2pm est at Road America GT3 Class. I hope to see everyone there. Of coarse It will be multiple rooms but it will give us a chance to get to know each other. Hope to see you there.

 

[Zakspeed_TV]

Things may have gone up a few gears, my friend kie25 could be racing soon

Come on man, don't quit. I can't tune either and I'm sure (as Simfan Dave said) there will be opportunities to learn how to do it from the Pro member of your team. That's what I'm hoping for anyway.

 

[Kkj10]

@Pichon617 i won't be tuning either if that makes you fell better?

If there was an option to restrict tuning I'm sure it would be on.

 

[ElBasque]

I've only ever known how to do a rudimentary gear setup and mess with the aero. I'll probably find settings on the 'net that'll take the car out of controller-safe mode, but I doubt I'll do much else.

As for the LSD, it reminds me of a horrific night I once had at uni, so I'm hesitant to mess.

I can't tune either, I'm getting there with some of the options but when it comes to suspension and all of that stuff I'm hopeless.

The good thing about the GT3 cars is that the majority of them are fairly decent in their standard tune. If you fiddle about with aero for the respective track it'll help massively. For example I was running around road America with Oz, Zey and Mcgerty yesterday and found just adjusting my aero knocked a second off my time. If you ask for help people are more than willing to lend a hand

 

[priesty_lfc]

I run stock too as I can't tune either, haven't got the patience

Stock tune, stock ffb

 

[Simfan David]

Are you guys with a wheel having a hard time getting a oversteer feeling when the fronts loose grip. Like when your pushing through. It should go somewhat loose right? I'm not getting that and I'm trying to figure out which slider would fix this. Or combination of sliders. Oversteer I feel but not much. I believe if I can fix the understeer, the oversteer feeling will also become more intense as well.

 

[STALLIONO]

Sorry that spot has been taken
