Need Help with GT500 Monaco Tune

[jucksmanBR]

Hello Guys.

I'm taking part in a online league racing the GT500 cars with 493hp and 1100kg. My car of choice is the Xanavi Nismo GT-R, and after 3 races I've scored one win and I'm currently sitting 2nd in the championship, only 5 poins behind the series leader, who won the first 2 rounds.

I'm not a slow driver and I've learned a little about car tuning recently, but I'm having serious difficulties setting my car for next race, at Cote D'Azur (Monaco).

While my teammate is lapping in 1:29.xxx, my best time so far has been only 1:30.6.

We only practice in our private lobby, with the room set with real grip/tyre wear/all aids disabled/abs 1

My biggest problems are:
- Lack of grip while cornering
- Oversteer during acceleration

I've tried pretty much everything, but nothing seems to improve the car's behaviour.

If anyone could help me improve this tune, it would be much appeciated.

Here is my tune:

Engine 3
Turbo 2

Height: -2/0
Springs: 14.5/14.5
Front suspension: 7/7/5
Rear suspension: 7/7/5
Camber: 1.4/0.7
Toe: 0.0/0.10

Brakes: 4/6
LSD: 15/25/15

Any thoughts?

Hello. Need to low your ARB like 3/2 or 3/1 , low rear extension too. Low LSD decel to mini. Low camber both . , only slow speed curve and need full grip for retake.

Thanks, Praiano! (Obrigado, Fera!)

I'll try this tune as soon as I can!! :-)

How did you set your gear ratios?

The car feels much better now...I'm able to carry much more speed into the corners.

My pace is great up until after the fast swimming pool chicane, but the last 3 corners are killing my lap time...I go from a possible 1:29 low to 1:31 in this last sector...what could I be doing wrong to lose so much time in this sector??

Try a + front TOE like Toe: 0.02/0.18
Your initial turn will be more responsive.
To help the car to reach quicker the right direction you can also increase LSD accel, to give more pivot at low speed corner, helping with throttle control.
I'll check later when i'll have time.
Have a good day.

The car feels much better now.
