The Ferrari f1 @ eiffel? Just tried that.. Never again..Got my rear end handed to me! I'm using the 07' any suggestions for setup etc??
Thanks.

I don't recall the tune? And I can't get to my PS3 right now.

But as stated(it's pretty good stock) The biggest gains, time wise, can often come from learning the track 👍. A stock F2007 can out brake the A.I's pretty easy.👍 Try braking late and carry as much speed through the corners as possible.

I found Eifel easier than Indy to win at a lower pp level.(my opinion)

I have a F2007 shared on PSN playnthru2 with a tune. You can FR me if you want to try it???👍

:

Set your brake bias to 10/10 and it is ridiculously easy to out-brake them!

Edit-if you don't use ABS on at least 1, ignore that, it's a terrible idea

 

[daddybats]

Thanks for all the help guys, did eventually beat it last night after some mental calibration, I had a stint on the no6 A seasonal at the nurb with a 2J, GTR tc and various race cars, kinda threw driving off for f1 cars!.
After a few laps of the eiffel I restarted, adjusted my transmission and aeros to suit and got gold easy enough, running @ 860ish pp.
I done the indy course a while ago it is pretty easy as the AI are terrible on corners and even with the pp of my 07' lowered it is still an easy win.
Once again thanks for the input guys

If you don't have any fast cars, or if you have trouble winning with low enough pp to get a huge bonus from it, then here is a tip for you:

1. Get the Citroën 2CV, add 200 kg of ballast. This should get it down to 170-175pp. If you can get it even lower, then go for it.

2. Enter the FF seasonal on Eifel Cart and start the race.

3. You won't stand a chance against the other cars. I can't even keep up with their cruising speed after they have finished the race. But about 3 minutes after the winner, you'll finally finish and here is the sweet thing: Finishing last with 170pp (and I had +150% login bonus when I tried) gets a reward by 800 000 Cr! With 200% login bonus you'll easily earn more than 1 000 000 Cr per race.

The best of it all? It's so easy that anyone can do it! It's a bit boring I suppose, but I'm sure you can trick ask some friend, kid, partner or pet into doing some grinding driving for you.

7 Laps of the Eifel in a 2CV? Sounds like an exercise in patience!

Well, each lap is 1:30 - 1:40. Takes 11 minutes, roughly. Not very exciting. I can recommend this site: http://www.family-travel-made-easy.com/car-travel-games.html

@erran004
just trying your 2cv method. got 743k of performance diff. lot of creds for doing almost nothing. dunno about redoing it. thx anyway

 

[slavssn]

The perfect setup for intermediate players is, I believe, the Ferrari F1 seasonal on Eifel with F10 (or F2007, prolly wouldn't make much difference) detuned to 755-760PP. With added approximately 160 kg of extra weight (353 lbs), slightly improved downforce, closer gear ratios (actual top speed while drafting: 320 kph/199 mph), brake balance changed to 10/10 and reduced horsepower I was able to beat it in 11:20.xxx trashing the 2nd bloke by 9.5 seconds. With this setup you can floor it on almost every bend but to do so, I strongly recommend turning the SRF on and TCS to 1. It's just makes things easier. The prize would be a bit more than 4 million Cr and almost 600,000 experience (200% bonus, obviously). The track is easy to learn and actually reminds me of some parts of Interlagos and Spa so, it's fun to drive there as well.

I know you can get up to 4.8 million Cr in one race but it would still need to be repeated 5 times in order to reach maximum account balance. With earning "just" 4 million it's still 5 tries, only you have much more room for error and overall, it's just less stressing.

I just tried some of your settings and I just can't seem to catch up to the guy to the guy in front of me. Although when I set the PP to 840PP I fare a whole lot better, netting me around 1.6 million. I'm going to try decreasing the PP as I go along and get more used to the track.

Just one more thing. What are the more specific values that you have on the downforce and the gear ratios?

 

[Fondo458]

I'm sure someone has said it but the Ferrari Formula 1 Challenge can net you some serious points real quick. I went from 6,000,000 to 20 last night in about an hour running a 840PP car:

I will write them down when I'm on my PS3. If I get my rubbish capture card to work, I will record a video. The key to an easy win is smooth, consistent laps and - I forgot to mention - increased steering sensitivity whilst using DS3; I had it set to 5.

And of course, you need to be able to drive there without a map and suggested downshifts. It might sound a bit scary but once you learn the venue layout, it's really a trifle.

 

[Fondo458]

Having never driven a Ferrari F1 car... I tried it this morning. It kicked my butt, even at 90% engine power. My son has one, I don't - although I have a 24 ticket just sitting there and 19,000,000 in the account. Can't say that I'll be opening the ticket or buying the car anytime soon!

Dude... take the plunge. I felt the same way driving it the first time but you get used to it. It's a total rush, and it changes how you feel about so-called "high end" sports cars (i.e. they feel like pack mules compared to the F1 car). And, ironically, once you get a handle on it, it's easier to drive than just about any other car. It takes the game to a whole other level.

Heh, I just bought by first F1 car today to start grinding credits (grew bored of doing the Le Sarthe track over & over) and my first time around the Eifel track was abysmal. But after a lot of restarts I'm now zipping around the track and the cash is rolling in.

Thanks slavssn. I've ran the track a couple of times now and am used to it. My times are starting to improve and I'm starting to catch up to the leader by the time the 5th lap comes around. After every win, I lower the PP by 5 and earn an extra 200,000 credits (this is with the 200% login bonus). But still got hit the big 4 mil though!

Cools thanks slassvn. Although I will say that even with these settings it still going to take quite some time before I can even reproduce the exact same times as you. Even at the PP you have I'm still way behind.

What I did do though was lower my PP in around the 800 mark (maybe lower?) and get rid of some of the weight. Right now I'm able to win the race and get 3 million credits for my troubles. So it's not that bad and far better than doing the Le Sarthe track over and over.

Anyways thanks for taking the time to do the video and all. Very helpful.

Sure thing, practice makes perfect. To be honest, sometimes I get lost in thoughts and have to restart the race, but my last win was 9th in a row. I can suggest you to mute the music in race so that you don't get distracted.

Nice to hear that you're making progress. The funny thing is though, the less PP the car has (within reason), the easier it is to drive. As you can see in the video, I'm lifting the throttle off in only three corners.

Anyways thanks for taking the time to do the video and all. Very helpful.

You're welcome, I'm glad I could be of help.

 

[Drevenger]

Just tried Indy.

Lol at those comments suggesting 720pp.
AI is at least 80 km/h faster on the straight.
Unless you got a magic tune for the track or won gt academy, dont go under 800pp and even there, you gonna need a flawless race.

I think you better off doing the old seasonals 400 pp with a gt86 if you are new to the game or upgrade with R35 TC or BMW F1 or chappy 2j on the 650pp seasonal at nurburgring or madrid.

Gonna have to disagree sir. I roll with 765pp and win by 1-3 seconds every time, with a stock F2007 (just downforce & transmission adjustments, no suspension or LSD). What lap times do you do with a maxed out car?

If you run 1:12xxx+ with full power/ no ballast, you may not be quick enough to win with less then 800-820pp. As a comparison, my best Indy lap is 1:07.654 in the F10 (with suspension tune) and 1:08.022 in the F2007 (no suspension, LSD, or Transmission tune).

Edit: Just tried 800pp, won by 11 seconds after going off track twice.

I thought the exact same thing when I first tried the settings some of the guys had here. But a couple of hours later I had got the hang of it. Now I still have trouble even attempting to race with the lower PP that slavssn uses for example.

But I can race with 790PP and reach pole position by the 7th or 8th lap on the Eifel track. The car is only a tiny bit slower on the straights than the other cars but flying through the corners is the key. Gives me 3 million credits. Suddenly getting 20 million credits doesn't take forever. And I didn't even race a single F1 car until a couple of days ago!

 

[roamer2629]

Hi mate, I've been running Ferrari F1 Indy road course at 770pp, pretty easy win and gives 3.2million credits for around 12mins work:tup:

That's very nice!! I was using the same car at Rome, but needed more pp to win with little effort
Something like 840 pp, ten minute race for 1 million and a half credits, but now I already bought the Gt-40 from the online dealership

Tried out your suggestion and boy, it works wonderfully. Thanks, man.

I feel that the F2007 is a much better choice compared to the F10, as I find that the F10 isn't as sharp as compared to the F2007. It is much stable though, but I prefer the F2007's edginess. Probably it's just me.

What I did was bumped up the ballast to 200kg, set the Front aero to 115, rear to 145, so that it will steer in harder. I also set both front and rear camber to 4.0. Taking advantage of GT5's PP algorithm, because of the extra weight, I was also able to get a higher power output than usual at 755pp, so I had no difficulties keeping up on the straight. I was able to get mid 1:06s with clean driving lines and win the race easily.

 

[Dlyte]

This sounds amazing! I'm gonna have to try it! Is there a specific tune I should use? I like the last couple posts about 4 mil, weight addition and stuff.

Also with the controller do I need to reduce the steering or is it fine as is?

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

I golded the a spec formula gt.

Haven't driven my 2010 really. I tried with the super low pp. don't know how it's possible unless the f1 is tuned. I did the camber which helped.

 

[DTM]

3.7 mil for a little over 11 minutes of racing with F1 Seasonal at eifel if it's still avalible

The secret to winning the race at below 800pp at Eifel is to not brake at certain corners. For example, the first set of chicanes just after the straight, you can practically go through it at 260km/h without any troubles.

The right-left bend before the sharp, blind uphill 4th gear right-hander? You can just release the accelerator and clear it at 240km/h, easily. The car has plenty of grip.

One thing I find is that the F2007 should be more suited to beginner F1 drivers as compared to the F10. As for the F10, it's really sensitive when you make a mistake and go off-road into the grass. You get barely any control whatsoever and would be bound to spin once you get off the grass. For the F2007, it's actually quite controllable even on the grass. So even if you make a mistake, you can easily get out of it and make up time.

You're absolutely right, sir. Alternatively, you can watch the video of me trying it here. My best time there was 11:12.xxx but I decided that a video with more sloppy driving would be more helpful, as you can see that there's still a lot of room for error.

Good to know that. I've got all Ferraris in my collection but never really tried the F2007. I will surely experiment with it... as soon as I finish 24h N-ring enduro (saved at 5 hrs).

Thank you for the reply beny
Is there a specific tune for the 2007 or 2010 I should use? I think my best lap was Like. 1:15 and I thought it was decent. I ended still being 24 sec behind. I thought I read that you need a 1:06 lap time. I'll buy the 2007, I'll run the 1 mil nür 650pp race. I've done that in 6:15

You don't really need 1:06 laps to win the race. As long as it's in the region of less than 1:10s, you should be able to do fine. I managed to take first place close to the middle of the 8th lap and win the race with a 12 seconds margin with quite sloppy driving.

The main thing here is to know which corners you should go full speed, and which corner not to. You can check out slavssn's video. It does a really thorough job of showing which corners you should go flat out, and which corner not to. As long as you hold on to these key points, you can just take on the rest of the course like it is, and still win. The F10 will do fine as well, so long as you don't spin out or anything.. It's just down to my personal preference for the F2007.

Unfortunately, I am right now outside so I can't really give you a tune to try out, but I will do so once i reached home. My tune was basically from the F1 seasonal thread in July, but I can't find it anymore. I just made some tuning to the aerodynamics and the PP. Other than that, it's totally the same.
