Nascar Tuning

[visualface]

Hello all, need some help with increasing the maneuverability of these Nascars. I'm working on the Nascar event on the Extreme Series and easily win Indy, High Speed Ring, and Daytona. The other 2 is different story, due to my cornering. Any help is appreciated.

I have a similar problem

I win every race instead of Daytona!

My problem is I get a speed of 300 kmh in the corners, I checked the replays and the AI has a speed of 330

What's was your Daytona setup?

My setup for every race was everything standard, traction control at 5.

 

[kejbee]

I need helt with this one too.
The AI can corner way faster at Daytona than me. Gonna put on soft slicks and see if it makes a difference.

 

[AcceptYourDeath]

Sure it will make a difference, there is a reason why soft slicks are that expensive. All of my cars i am expecting to become awesome are getting soft slicks as first upgrade.

Thought that it might not make such a big difference on an oval.

Since the ASM is locked on in the Daytona event (why PD?), you do need soft tires, adjusting the downforce to give you more oversteer, and some gear ratio changes (make them a bit longer) and you should be fine.

Turn all aids off, ASM can't be disabled, even with the RA menu.

As for the other events, edit the ratios per track, use downforce and suspension adjustments to make the car looser (oversteer)

Turning ABS to OFF removes the ASM at Daytona. It works in the NASCAR championship as well as Jeff Gordon's school.

Nice to know, I just realized I said understeer, I meant oversteer, sorry!

The key is to lower your topspeed drastically at Laguna Seca and ehhh the other one.
I `ve won both with a big lead and had downforce adjusted to its maximum, with soft slicks.

I was stunned about the handling of my Impala on regular tracks, i never thought this would be possible with a NASCAR. Older games teached me NASCAR can`t drive corners, lol!

i was curios and tried the corvette zr1 rm tune on my #88 Chevy.. boy what a night and day difference it was.

this should help:tup: (this is not my tune therefore i am not taking credit)

Fully upgraded the ZR-1 RM gives 905hp at 1100Kg weight. My tune

Downforce: 35/53
Transm.: 360 km/h (380 at Nordschliefe)
Initial torque: 10
Acc sens: 20
Brake sens: 10
Ride h: 5/5 (35/35 at Nordschleife)
Spring: 16.6/14.4
Damp ext 9/7
Damp comp: 9/7
Anti RB: 3/5
Camber: 2/1.5
Toe: 0/-0.30
Brakes: 5/7

I play around with the rear breaks depending on track. Its good at 7 but if I want better turn in use 8, better stability a 6.

I also play around with rear springs. Its pretty balanced but if I want a bit more oversteer lowering the number seems to create overstear (opposite to what I expected)

Its by no means a perfect tune but its good enought to win Gold at All-Star. If someone has an idea to further improve it would be great.

Cheers

Why no "s"? He's clearly referring to many NASCARs not just one.

 

[kejbee]

With soft slicks it was pretty easy to win

He is referring to the fact that Nascar is the series. If I was to write the same sentence then it would look like this.

Not a big deal I know that there is a difference in speech and word usage in our international community.



Also the chances that someone will give you a complete tune are really slim. I am not saying that it wont happen but, I know that once people get there cars dialed in for different tracks that sharing the setup doesn't happen. The Nascar online races are pretty serious and important to big Nascar fans.

 

[querschnitt]

I won the daytona race and all othes easily

I've changed nothing on the setup, I've just deactivate all Driving aids on the Oval Courses and Activated some on the regular courses

 

[gamez4life]

i cant seem to do this, the nascars are pretty bad on low speed tracks, spin out alot, abs off is a nightmare on proper tracks so any tips for tuning?

 

[gamez4life]

Just did them all apart from daytona, All i can say is Wow those AI drivers are dirty i get in front they catch me up easily somehow and spin everytime, any tips?

First off, use the edit button when you want to add something to your post, please don't double post as it clutters the forum.

Second, the catching up at Daytona is probably one of the more realistic parts of NASCAR in this game, a car out front alone can't stay up there without making his car "really wide" (that is to say, blocking like a madman).

If you haven't already, turn off the driving aids, turning off ABS apparently turns off ASM aswell, this will give you speed in the corners. You might also want to make the top speed adjustment a little higher if you find you're hitting the rev limiter in the draft.

It takes a few tries and lots of blocking but with a good setup you'll pull away in the corners enough to gain a sizable lead towards the end (and even at that sometimes it goes away on the last lap, I won going half sideways with a car on either side, ). Remember it's a 10 lap race, so losing the lead for a moment isn't too bad, just block heavily coming to the checkered flag.

Chris.

I have ABS off, problem is i get out in front quite quick, then they all catch up so i try and block or stay out of the way and let them pass and il use their draft however they always end up spinning me theres about 5 of them there, thats the problem

Yeah the intensity takes getting used to, especially without a spotter, part of making your car "extra wide", you'll have to get familiar enough with the track to drive it while looking in the mirror

Just keep at it, you'll get better, it took me a while to get it too.

Anyone try this series on bspec? a lot harder than aspec.

 

[Sheik]

the only thing i set up was the transmission at grand valley the end speed i changed to 340 km/h and laguna seca i did the lowest. it worked pretty good for me

 

[babybirdsfunk]

Yeah, I'm trying it right now. I only got gold on the 1st event and lost many others due to lack of pit strategy. The first race you don't need to pit, but on Grand Valley you should probably pit at least 3 laps before the end.

I also lowered my car 15mm and tightened the susp., but i don't have a knowledgeable tune set up. If anyone knows a good set up please post, I saw something earlier in the thread, but I think it was for a different car.

My driver was at lev 19 and I was driving the Jeff Gordon car.

High Speed Ring, I pitted the lap after the half way point and wished that I pitted at the half way point instead(or not at all). Laguna Seca, I did pit at the half way point in the race, and it did not seem to work the way that I hoped.

Last race, I forgot to set the tranny back up to a higher top speed and just quit the race when my guy started hitting the rev limiter.

Hope this helps, I need to just try it again.

That other setup is for the Corvette ZR-1 RM, and I used that setup on my NASCAR and it works very well, might need to tighten the rear for twisties.


I just started driving those cars, wow if you touch the wall just a little, the walls are like vaccum suction to your car and i can't even get it away! gotta tap on the ebrake helps a little to get away from the darned wall! lol

Wow you need to get out more.

Yes i was going to make a thread complaining about the sticky walls but didnt.


On the note of setups i just run full DF, camber front 2.4, rear 2 and -.10 toe front. Then soften the rear and adjust gears to the speed of the track. The faster the track the stiffer the rear can go. Tracks with many sharp 1st gear turns will need the softest rear possible and maybe some LSD.
With this i was runing laps about 1 second off a moded escudo around trial mountain.

 

[blue devil]

Gear ratios are everything since they are all equally powered for the most part. I had the trans. Set for 298mph for Indy but I forgot to change it for Grand Valley. HUGE MISTAKE. I was geared for nearly 300 on a hardly 200 track. I managed 3rd but it was brutal. I tuned the suspension for the ZR1 RM settings previously stated. Took 2nd overall.

 

[tomslf]

I Just Have To Say Wow Setting LSD To 60/60/60 on non nascar tracks makes this nascar actually easy to drive, i am also using the zr1 rm tune settings.
also always remember to do an oil change worth the extra power for 250 bucks

thanks everyone love the site

edit try to stay in 2nd gear around sharp turns that are ment for 1st gear this way you wont spin upon exit
i have now won the nascar champ. and beat ai with about 6 to 7 second lead in each race

 

[harold1234sr]

trun it all of stay with the pack until the lap 10 star moving up to 1st by trun 3 and play drity they will lol
