New seasonal events: Time Trial No. 31 & Drift Trial No. 31

[billers]

I'm at 99 at the mo on the spa tht, my first ever top 100! Loving the f2007, if anyone wants a tune/share let me know

 

[WJHMH]

Try adding weight....

👍
Thanks for the tip, I always seem to overlook that option. I got 2:10.xxx on my second lap a Ferrari F2010. With a bit a tweaking I could get some faster lap times.

 

[roamer2629]

Managed 2'00.736. More downforce, more weight, better corner speed as a result.

yeah,post your tune up bruv.
i prefer using the f1 ferrari cars rather than the fgt.
i used the f1 '10 but struggled and broke into the .57s just,
probably havent spent enough time on the spa tt though.

 

[bushmaster]

Billers I just sent you a Fr request

 

[Raggadish]

I'm not up to date on what we can expect from the upcoming seasonal. Am I right in guessing it will be B-spec races?

 

[billers]

I'll post the tune some point tomorrow, it's not amazing but may help a few.

And I haven't received a fr :/

 

[Spinodontosaur4]

I cant for the life of me get the F2007 to turn into the corners with any degree of speed. Cant break 2:00. Though last I checked, I was in the top 1000, highest I've been since the 750pp Cape Ring TT a few months back, so I must be doing something right.

I have a vague idea where I am loosing the time, I still cant hook up La Source or the Bus Stop right, and my terrible understeer makes the Les Combes chicane awkward at times. I probably loose half of my time defecit in those corners alone.

 

[ing2ning]

I'm pretty pissed everyone is using ABS in these events. Not a lot of people are keepin it real.

It will be great to try your tune. I am kind of stuck with mine and cant get the topspeed I want. If you have a good transmission it will be really good.

I have moved the ballast from middle to 3 after a tip from "Going in Hot" and that small adjustment make big difference in the corners. I moved it back to 1 since that was better for my driving.
Its amazing what a so small tune can do but when i thought about it it makes sence. Moving 200 kg in a car that normally weighs 550 kg or so should make some big changes in the handling.

My tune by the way is pretty much stock since I am a no good tuner i have played with camber a bit after what Uga written earlier but 2,4/2,4 was a bit to much for me. I set it on 2,0/1,5 or 2,0/1,6. Downforce I tried with 90-94/100 but when the front is 94 it loosen grip in the rear in the fast corners.
With the settings on toe in or out I just get confused. Cant for my life remember wich one gives good corners and less topspeed and vice versa and when I try different settings I just get upset destroying my car

I do have noticed that the tune is very personal to your driving. Some of the tunes others have shared here is for me impossible to handle and they do fantastic times. When I looked on the fastest driver in a Ferrari my mouth got wide open though he droved the car like a mix between a F1 and a tarmac rallyecar. Amazing to watch and impossible to do I am impressed of the topdrivers, thats for sure.

Lent Saidur my car yesterday and he did a 1:22.158
Incredible speed for first day, I know he's just as fast as me.
Hopefully he'll put in a few more laps and make the top even more competitive.

Post your tune broseph

Yeah, the F1 cars look amazing, the FGT is ugly as sheeet

I cant for the life of me get the F2007 to turn into the corners with any degree of speed.

The LSD setting can help alot.
Read this: GT5 LSD Tuning.
Skip to the piece about LSD tuning, if you get it in the right region it can make cornering fantastic.
Getting it totally wrong can destroy cornering. It's kind of personal setting, so it should be easy to find something you like.

I'm pretty pissed everyone is using ABS in these events. Not a lot of people are keepin it real.

Phenicks083 is driving no ABS, no AS, no Aids whatsoever!! He's very fast (1:21.913 atm), and has incredible race pace:tup:

I only did two laps with active steering and I think it is definately faster for me without active steering especially the part leading up to the tunnel. I didn't manage to do many laps in the end probably just under 30 laps so my PS3 and GT5 was on pause for hours on end, otherwise I think I would have been able to get there amongst you as after a few laps I was ahead of your ghost going into the tunnel so there is definately potential for me and that is after being a tenth or two being behind in the first sector. I find the first corner the hardest for me, anyone else?

Thanks, will hopefully put in some more laps. I wonder if eclipsee or Turismo-lester will put in some laps as I know they consistently finish ahead of us so they might be able to push the boundaries for number one spot. I think Phenicks083 if he used ABS could get the number 1 spot time but he seems to like playing no ABS in the game no matter what.

@kb18fan, I noticed you creeping up on a 22.x, keep at it, and good job 👍

Problem?

Surely the point with TTs is to achieve the fastest time possible, by whatever means necessary.

[Flagmo-T]

I'm actually slipping by the No:1 FormulaGT Car with about 0.250 until after the uphill straight ( Kemmel straight ) and the next corner (Les Combes) but then I'm to scared around the next couple of corners and loose it all..

But my point is, that if the Driver change His setup a little bit, He would get a even better time, then it is..

An Oil Change gives about 20km pr-hour on this TT.

I do want to Try out a great setup for the FGT, that is done for this particular event, because we do have to add 160kg of weight and also keep the downforce very low, to hit under 751pp..

So if anybody would like to share there Setup, I would gladly use it..

Another hater. Why is it that people think you Have to adhere to their rules? Elitism sucks. Not you rofl!

Getting fed up of peeps having a go for abiding by the rules.

Surely its each to their own? Why hate?

ive found that up to the corners at the end of the kemmel,im also ahead of the fast times.
this has more to do with their downforce/gearing slowing them down on the straights and suiting the latter parts of the lap-which is why they disappear through the tighter sections of the track and overall getting the fast times.
im not saying i can match them-im just explaining why they are comparatively slower up to that point.
i havent done many laps at the spa tt compared with the grand valley tt,so i think ill be swapping that about from now on.
i said i got bored after 10 laps on the g.v. tt,but now its turned to frustration

 

[Flagmo-T]

Thanks Man - That's a very understandable conclusion - I see the point of being a little slower on the straights, but much tighter on the corners, and it all adds up to being a faster time - Hehe
The Car is a killer, and is so sensitive to bumps and curves - it simply loves spinning to it's own Music DoH!!!..

Ya that G.V TT is close to being one annoying sleepy bitch - ZZZzzzzzz

Thanks my friend. Knowledge is power and you definitely gave me alot of it. Just trying to put it all to good use. I can keep even with the leaders ghost until that damn tunnel, then thats where I lose it all. Definately getting better tho. Thanks good friend. Peace.

No idea what you're going on about there... who's hating? I simply said that why is it a problem if people want to use ABS? There's no restriction for that on these TTs. I use whatever it takes to get a good time, regardless of whether its in fashion, cool, acceptable, or whatever.

It wasn't aimed at you dude. Sorry if it read like that! I agree with you. Run how you want to and enjoy the game. We all paid for it. We ought to be able to enjoy it without people telling you to play to their rules only.

Sorry, I wasn't digging at you rofl!

I say if you're not comfortable with your racing, you're not going to do very well. Allow me to provide an analogy for a moment. How can a female feel attractive in a short dress (not necessarily a mini) and high heels if she isn't comfortable or confident wearing either or both items? Don't push yourself too hard to where you don't have something you're comfortable with. I race with lots of things on- racing line, traction control at 5, ABS at 1, auto transmission. Why? It is what I am comfortable with when I race. And honestly, I don't care if this lessens my worth as a sim racer because each racing gamer plays to the extent of his/her abilities and limits. Do you want to just post a good lap time or want to push for a top lap time? All up to you. But whatever you do, you need to be both comfortable and confident to make the most of your efforts.

Tell you what... I felt pretty good nailing a 1:27 time at Grand Valley East with the DOME ZERO Concept. Since Concept cars are not really considered "Normal" or "Production" cars, that's why I initially avoided using the DOME ZERO Concept. My Toyota 2000GT was still pretty good even if I was giving up the handling and performance abilities of the DOME ZERO Concept. You almost feel like using what everyone else is using when you see the top players using more or less the same car. Besides what car you drive, it's also about how you actually drive with it. The best-tuned car doesn't mean s:censored: if you can't drive it worth a s:censored: (pardon me).


I MIGHT want to try Spa-Francorchamps Time Trial again to better my time, but I may just stand with my time there. I may also want to re-do either or both Drift Trials to try to get Gold.

Well I had the same problem with turn-in, couldn't break into the 1.55's for the life of me. What solved it for me was moving the weight backwards, I'm at 1.55.4 with that right now and with some work a 1.54 should be on the cards this weekend.

hallo J0KER! can you share you Dome?👍 Thanks a lot mate

Hey Lorenzo,
I think I have a DOME on share,
I did a 1:21.714 with it. So it's not bad.

I did my 1:21.645 with a borrowed car,

You need to fully break in the engine with BSpec, and don't perform any upgrades or weight reduction. Im doing this right now, so I have my own.

 

[yannagas]

hi Guys, this is my first post,
quite new to the gt5 thing and already addicted!
First of all, a big thanks for sharing valuable info ,your hard earned knowledge, tunes etc.
I have been lurking here quite some time now, and really like this community.
People here are polite, have a sense of humor and help each other.
Have been tt'ng for the past 3 or 4 races, stopping in the top 1000 but this time i got in the top 250! That's because I've been following your advice, tips and tricks!
Not to mention Yinato's and Jokers Ghosts!
Thanks again Guys! (everybody that is!)

Ps. I seem to have hit a wall at around 1.23.2xx and i believe there's something I need to do to the Dome to make it faster. Can somebody in the 1.21 league post their updated setup? That would help me find what i'm doing wrong!
Thanks again!
Take care,
Yannagas.

Do you find weight ballast and power limiter a "real thing" then?

 

[arora]

Yeah, I think we'd all like to see some more strict regulations on at least some of these tt's, meanwhile, anything pd allows has to be fair game. A proper filtering system could minimize these sorts of complaints as well 👍
