I'll go beyond what I said, this man, not just won the last GT Acamemy online stage, this man has won ALL GT Academy online stages that have been celebrated so far, if he is only 3 tenths faster so far than the second in a 6 minutes track it's due because he didn't push very hard or he doesn't have a very good car setup.

I really don't care what you think about me but respect is expected for sure.
And the man who has a wall touch in this TT in the same place as amo (his newest replay - 6'01.4)....not so hard as him but still obvious wall ride which gave him a good direction through the corner. I don't know what to say anymore....I expected some glitch or wallbanging from unknown drivers but this I didn't expect. 👎

I've spent around 4 hours on this and only finished 2 laps coz I wanted my lap 100% clean but there's no point for me to waste anymore time on this.
Awaiting GTA, perhaps there will be a fair game....
 
Some people think they aren't as fast as others due to its poor car setup, if you're skilled enough and honest with yourself you'll know that's a lame excuse.

+10 seconds over a 6 minute run is nothing especially given the variable tuning circumstances, i'm perfectly fine with my lap considering i wasn't wallbanging or grasscutting at every opportunity which is what it takes for those top times, try that in real life and the car is totalled.

I'm not taking anything from him at all. I'm just saying setuo has alot to do with it also.
And to your last elitist comment, I was giving you a compliment by respecting your driving skill but if you are going to come back at me with the comment that I had better respect you, well, I take it back there buddy. If you are going to have an elitist attitude like that, you don't deserve respect. You deserve pity. I'm sorry you are so stuck on yourself.
 
I'm going to echo KB18FAN's remarks - whether you're a good driver, bad driver, great driver or crap driver, the car setup can and does play a large role in getting a faster lap.

In the final analysis, it's a combination between a skilled driver and a well-tuned car. I think this should be pretty self-evident to just about everyone.

Thanks tezster, thats all I was trying to say. I'm not taking anything away from the skill of the elite drivers. They are very skilled at what they do and deserve credit for their skill. Just say that a good setup helps, more than some may want to admit. (eclipsee)
 
Anything goes .... that's what separate the real drivers and the virtual drivers. Real drivers aim a lap time that reflect his own ability, regardless of the state of tune of his car, and he is keeping it real by not resorting to exploits or driving aids. He will be proud of his not so quick time compared to those virtual drivers who uses any means necessary to gain better lap times.

Which one deserve respect ? We all know which one ... be true to yourselves, do you all gain that quick times because your own skills, or because exploits, aids and a so called " great car tune". A great driver could extract the most of any car, and he won't bother with others remarks saying the car tune bogged him down or he DID NOT USE any AIDS like others did. Surprising really if some of the GTP drivers have come to this state of mind, using aids, exploits and others tune just to level the playing field and getting a spot on the leaderboard...when will the driver skill gets the credit ???
 
Did you not understand what I said or are you just trying to start a war here. I give them all the credit in the world for their skill but I guarantee you everyone of them has a setup on their car. They would still be at the top regardless yes, but they are sqeezing that last little bit out because of the setup. If you don't agree, lets see them run the same exact times with a default set. They will be at the top yes, but their times won't be as quick. End of convo for me. Flame me if you want but I'm going to take my tuned car with ABS on 1 and steering assist on strong and go put some laps in. I have nothing to prove to anyone by running with no assists. If you feel better running with no assists, more power to you. Peace.
 
Depending on the track, a good setup can be worth several seconds a lap. That said, the driver has to be able to extract that extra potential from the setup. A poor driver may see an improvement from a setup but his improvement may be minor compared to a better driver.

My issue in this game is that I do not spend ANY time setting the cars up. I just drive. I'm currently sitting at 271 at Spa with a Speed 8 with no tuning (barring power limiter to get down to PP). I'll have a go tonight with KB18FAN's 905 and see what a good car with a good setup does for me.

It will be a good yard stick for me, driving a good car with a proven setup......hope to make the top 100. But if I can't, I know what the problem is........the nut behind the wheel
 
You just said it yourself KB18FAN, you have nothing to prove to anyone by running with no assists, why don't you run without any assists to prove to yourself how good you really are? Try to run the 2J on nurb without any assists, no ABS and see how difficult it is, and driver skills will be more pronounced - driving smooth will be harder, don't you really want to know ? I know I did, I never bother with the leaderboards filled with drivers who uses aids, I only want to know how far I could go without resorting to any help by the game and ABS is braking assist, PD should have change the name. Do we run TT to challenge ourselves or challenge others time? I do not dislike others who choose to run TT with aids, it's their choice, as much as my choice to run TT without any aids and my own car of choice.

If only the top 250 drivers on current TT have the same similar view, we would see their true potential as a driver who scored the TT without any help from the game, and the car wont but dominated with 2J, there would be variety of cars, we get to know more of the cars limit driven by a clean drivers who respect others time and skills, all without the game's help ( assists ) This would come true if only PD allows ranking view based on assists usage, car and tire types.
 
Alright, tried Praiano's tune for the 905 and all I can say is WOW, lol. How in the world he drives that car with that tune is beyond me, lol. No disrespect to him (I say this all in a joking and lighthearted manner) as he is a great tuner and also a friend of mine but that tune does not work at all for my driving style. He took away all the downforce (56/50) in order to meet the pp requirements which is what made it undriveable for me. I did however use his as a base and went another route. I added ballast which made it better for me along with some other changes. As of now, I'm in 198th with a time of 1:55.289. Here is the tune I came up with. (still tweeking)
700pp
916hp
900kg.
99.7% on the power limiter
AERO 60/85
BALLAST 150/50
LSD 10/8/8
RH 10/-15
SR 11.0/11.5
EXT 9/3
COMP 9/4
ARB 7/2
CAMBER 1.0/0.5
TOE -0.15/0.10
BRAKES 7/6
TRANS
1st 4.158
2nd 2.984
3rd 2.378
4th 1.968
5th 1.675
6th 1.456
FG 3.101
TS 149
Top speed at the top of 230mph.
Hope this is of help to anyone using this car.

Special seasonal. PEUGEOT 905 RACE CAR `92

Here is a quick tune for the SPA 700PP , i´m 1:57.016 with it for the moment, but SPA is not my track at all, need to spend more time on it another day when i will have time. This tune need more work but it´s already very good to make a good time. Enjoy your drive.


For the gears = tranny trick.

1- reset
2- final gear 5.000
3- top speed mini 240 kmh
4- set ratios
5- final gear again at 2.940

Hi, like i was saying in my post , it was just a quick tune. The reason why i use such a low rear downforce were because the ghost of 1st position is a lot faster than a 700PP 905 with normal downforce. With a good gearbox , i don´t see another way to reach this guy much more power. I drive when i can the 600PP ring , i love this circuit. SPA is not my track definitively.

Will try your tune my friend but i´m convicted the low downforce is a good way. (If you want to reach the top times)

><(((((°>°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°
 
I'm really having trouble with Spa! the last couple of TTs I really put the effort into I was 50something at the kart space and in the top 250 for deep forest with the help of Gerchu and Yinato's tunes, but I'm 4k+ here and almost 10 seconds off the pace. I can't get close to taking eau rouge flat- even have to drop a gear, just can't find the right line.

I'd be interested to know what tune Yinato is using on this one! or doodlemonoply?? hint ;)

Here is my final tune for the Peugeot 905 RC ''92 for Spa....

My time is 1:55.037.

set my fastest lap with your previous tune, but with this set up my braking distances are hugely increased! I've gone back to your old one for now

I'll vouch for KB18FANS latest tune, I'm a 1:55.3xx with it after 5 laps or so, with time left everywhere and I'm not the quickest of drivers by any measure, so it's pretty solid to use
 
Any one willing to share a 905 ,ive set a 1'58.8 with the v12 lmr without any setups, don't have a 905 so can anyone set as share now?
 
Worst feeling in the world when you're +.700 ahead of your ghost, and you screw up at 4 minutes and 50 seconds.

Trying to break into the 6.09's with a controller. So close, yet so far away! :(
 
Thanks everyone for the kind words, really appreciate it and its pretty cool to see my hard work is helping you guys.
@Praiano - I just found that with the lack of downforce, your setup was completely undrivable for me which is why I went the way of ballast. No way could I make it through eau rouge (or whatever that section is called) at full throttle or even close to it. I know you are a great tuner, I just thought maybe you had one too many rum & cokes or something, lol. Anyways, let me know what you think of mine. And if you pass me on the leadrboards, Imma gonna fly over there and take away your Playstation, lol. Just kidding my friend. Good luck with the TT's. Peace. \/

Hahaha nono, no rum & cokes.. Serious, load the ghost of the top times . The car have a very strong accel and top speed, means more power .... i think.:)
 
Yea, you are going to have a higher top speed, but you are sacrificing handling with the lack of downforce. For me, that sacrifice isn't worth it. As for acceleration, you need the rear aero, otherwise you are not getting enough downforce on the rear.
 
Hi guys...rnegarding 905 setup..i am currently 14th with a 1.52.7xx and you def need full down force and maybe 150k ballast at +40/50.also gearing plays a major part in this setup.

Cool, thanks. Will give it a try in a few and let you know. Appreciate the share.
 
:( I feel like a noob. I can gold the 'ring no problem, but I just can't pull off Spa. :(
(high 2:12's so far)
Oh well, off to practice I guess.
