New TT34 & DT34

[Mr P]

Nice lap Mr P!
And you say I'm lightning fast?

Cheers 👍

Yep you are Lightning fast mate... just need to dig a wee bit deeper on this combo and throw caution to the wind! It will come when you start throwing it into the turns instead of driving them imagine the car has elastic bands and it always pulls you back from the track edge 👍

GL to you too, aim for the top.

I'll be spendng some time with this again, but I'm happy where I am... don't see myself doing much better, but again I also didn't expect to end up in D1G so... I don't know, we'll see.
Cheers and thanks. 👍

 

[CorvetteConquer]

6.12.257 with DS3 thanks to Fobia's tune. Thanks for sharing.

 

[pentaxfun]

edit: screw it actually, I'll just give the TT a go in a full 600pp vehicle actually. Disregard my previous thing that I wrote up

 

[majyk]

Decided to try something that isn't a 2J on the Ring, did a 6:35.xxx in a Takata NSX

I also used a different car. I got a 6:35.568 in a Ford GT LM Spec II Test Car (I love that black beast). I will try for better now that I have something to shoot for. I have the 2J, but really? Why doesn't PD just set that as the default car for these types of TT's so that the people who don't want to spend 12 mil. on a bob special will have a chance. This is why I resisted doing these events at first...the same people in the same cars always dominate. How boring.

 

[Mr P]

Back in 4th with 6'05.643 👍 Pretty happy with that lap for now

I'm running out of steam tbh and can only take a fail at 5 mins into a lap so many times per day haha Will come back in a day or so when i'm in 20th and rethink my strategy

GL to all running this one
Cheers
Ron.

I'm miles behind most of you.I've never had much time to practice the Ring.However,this morning I had a spare 3 hours and managed to gold the Ring TT,and I'm feeling quite happy about it ! I used the R35 TC .
Maybe when the wife's HoneyDo list gets down to 2 pages,I'll have another go at improving my ring TT time....

 

[GTP_CargoRatt]

If someone could help me out with a killer tune for the 905, it would be greatly appreciated. Maybe yinato could share his? Mine is crap. I have tuned 4 cars for this so far and oddly enough, the fastest one on the leaderboards (the 905) is my slowest car, lol. By almost 2 seconds!! Can't seem to get it right for whatever reason. I really would like to give this car a shot with a good tune on it. Thanks for any help. Peace.

I was running the Integra and didn't see this, oh well. I may not necessarily be a "Ring" master, but I did take up your challenge. For a baseline I first ran on SS tires for an 8:14.307. Then with warmed up RS tires (2nd lap) I ran a 7:51.717. BTW, FF cars aren't really my strong suit. I've been tuning on the Ford GT's lately.

 

[majyk]

I'm with you there- the top 4 or 5 on the last deep forest tt all had active steering strong

Yeah, that seems like a new thing. I guess the end justifies the means (I've never believed in this.) This is what happens when there hasn't been a new "Need For Speed" in a while.

Good job! your well placed so far!

Same for you Ron. 👍


I hope to get my hand on this in the weekend, been a crazy week at the job, worked 14hour today and have to work tomorow...

Good luck all!

Tried the Nurb TT with a Super GT car, Calsonic Impul GTR '08, straight from new car dealership,racing hard tires, no settings changes or mods nor oil change, just a brake balance at 5/3 as I drove with all assists off, no ABS. Got a time of 6:57:xxx in 1st try, with a DS3, slow in several places, as I tried to have a clean lap, not pushing hard enough I guess. It was fun braking hard without ABS, puts me on edge in almost every corner entry.

For the Spa TT, I tried with Mazda 787B, racing hard tires, no oil change, no mods, no settings changes, just brake balance 5/3 , DS3 , all assists off and no ABS. Time is on the slow side at 2:09.xxx, barely got a gold Took a couple of tries, the last chicane and the end of 2nd main straight up hill before the s bend was hard, braking a bit late there without ABS, needs a perfect threshold braking, then some left foot braking on some long curves, with DS3 .. precision was hard.


I wish next time PD will make an option customize online ranking that list drivers who do not use any assists at all including no ABS, so we can compare times with drivers who don't use any assists. An option to group rankings based on tires would be great, as I would be very happy to compare times with those who do not use Racing Soft or "the super grip - out of this world tires" for TT with no tires restrictions.

A new TT with a certain cars restrictions would also be great, not just PP or tires. Imagine a TT event at Nurb 24H at 20:00, with only GT300/500 cars allowed, racing hard, no assists, no ABS, just like in real life cars. That plus tire wear and fuel consumption ... it would be awesome

Oh **** I was hoping I edited it away quick enough that nobody would get screwed over by doing it and then seeing I decided not to.

However, since you did oblige, I will oblige in return and go back to practicing on the spoon integra and see if I can go sub 8:00 on it once I finish learning the second half of the track.

Btw, were you using it in pure stock form (other than the tires I mean), so like 220whatever hp and 420whatever pp, or were you on the detuned 399pp that mine turned out to be on when I went and looked at it to make sure?

(The funny thing is, I actually tried a stock-form one with the slightly higher hp and pp than my detuned version once I noticed that I had forgotten that I had detuned it, and I actually ended up losing to my ghost lol, cuz I guess there were a few non-lifters on me detuned one that became slight lifters or even brake-tappers, and so by not being used to that I ended up flying off the track a couple times and managed to be like 3 or 4 seconds slower than my 399pp detuned 8:10 run lol.

Then went back to the detuned 399 pp version with the racing softs and ran an 8:08.

Still have no clue/memory of any of the turns after about the halfway mark down the track, so, I think I'm gonna have to just use my memorize-by-sector technique to learn the entire second half of the course and then give it a real attempt and hopefully go 7:50-low, once I've managed to learn the entireity of the course lol.

Anyways, thanks for taking the time man, def didn't want to screw anyone over, so, I'll definitely update you with my new times and everything once I finish learning the rest of the course!

Thanks man!

 

[pentaxfun]

Or actually, I just realized your time in it was actually only a few seconds off from the Gold Medal time for the actual TT lol. Not sure if it allows the spoon integra into the event tho, but that would be sick if one of us managed to get a 400pp integra into gold territory for this tt lol. Talk about a slap in the face to the 2J that would be! Well, not really tho lol, since that thing goes like 6 minutes flat, but still, it would be kinda cool in a nerdy sort of way, lol.

Btw, I have no clue how to tune suspensions whatsoever (which is kind of the reason why I picked the spoon integra, since it already had an extremely neutral/balanced handling feel to it right out of the box without me making any adjustments whatsoever. I liked how unlike basically all of the other FF "race cars" like the motul or that blue rsx race car one that I forget the name of, it doesn't have that "mashed potatoes" type of feel when exiting turns. The spoon has more of a perfectly balanced non-FF car type of feel during the turns, at least, to me it feels that way. Then again those other ones could probly be "cured" if I knew how to adjust the suspension properly, but I don't know how.

Actually, prior to seeing your response to my post just now, I had spent the previous hour or so attempting to tune the suspension on my mazda Furai concept car which I was attempting to use as my car for the nurburgring tt, but I just couldn't get it to be anything other than beyond-disastrously terrible no matter what I tried.

It kept doing this thing where it didn't really oversteer at all when I BEGAN a turn, like, it would just turn relatively normally, maybe even understeer slightly actually, BUT THENNNNN as I was EXITING the a turn, particularly if it was a low speed corner that I was accelerating out of in a lower gear, it would just go totally haywire when I brought the joystick back up to vertical. As in like, it would continue to keep turning sharply even after I was no longer turning the steering wheel. Even though it wasn't oversteering at all during the beginning and middle part of the turn. And so, I couldn't figure out how to make it stop doing that, cuz even when I read all the little question-mark blurbs on the suspension advice thing in the suspension tuning thing in the gt5 garage, I maxed out all the settings to try to give it as much understeer as possible, and all that really happened was it would just understeer during the beginning/middle of all the turns, but it STILL kept on doing that thing where it would continue to turn even though I was no longer turning with the joystick on the exit of all the turns. Not really sure how to cure that handling tendency. Maybe it's just a natural characteristics that some cars have that can't be cured or something. And I know it's not just the fact that it is rear wheel drive, and thus it just has to behave that way or anything, cuz I've had rwd cars whith even considerably more horsepower that never did that when exiting turns. In particular one example of a rear wheel drive car that didn't even exhibit the tiniest smidge of that symptom whilst exiting turns was that F86 Concept car or whatever it was called, the toyota concept that you won on like one of the very first races in the game, that one never had that type of steering tendency at all and it was rwd, so I know it's not just some sort of thing that just has to be like that by default for all rwd cars or anything.

 

[Mr P]

Here's the set up I'm using on the 2J if anyone would like to try it... It's an old Ramon tune for Suzuka originally that I adapted for Indy a few weeks back and now just a tweak here and there for the nurb and it almost fits like a glove

Max Power - 498HP
Weight - 918kg
Power level - 72.9%
Ballast +97
Ballast Position +50
Assisted Steering (Strong)
Sensitivity +2
Simulation mode
FFB +2
..........................

Height... +4 / -10
Springs... 15.5 / 15.0
Dampers Ex... 8 / 5
Dampers Co... 8 / 5
Roll Bars... 6 / 3
Camber... 2.0 / 1.5
Toe... -0.15 / -0.30
LSD... 35 / 30 / 10
Brakes... 7 / 7
TCS 0
ABS 2

Gears
1.216
0.927
0.728
3.859
Max speed 211mph (Top of screen should say 222mph)

I know it can run 6'04 in the right hands and maybe even more

I searched the tuning forum, but of course nothing came up for the 905...

Does anyone have a good tune for the Peugeot 905 for the Spa TT? I'm just a hair over 7 seconds from the leader in my TS020, but it looks like the 905 is THE car to have for this track.

There are in fact like 5 or 6 tunes for this car on Adrenaline's website (tuning forum) plus Praiano just put one up in his garage.

[jaskingt5]

i decided not to use the 2j for the ring... Fast or not, i just don't like the combination. I ended up using the ford gt spec ii test car, and got gold with some non-competitive race time

+1

 

[Dazmeister22]

Did you use my tune or twitchy's for the 2J time?
I think mine is slow, others are running much less ballast.

I borrowed your car and I didn't change a thing. I only actually did two valid laps, I got about 3 or 4 red laps and restarted. I'll probably try Twitchy's tune next week, I'm busy with league races all weekend. Thanks again for the lend mate.

 

[Dazmeister22]

I may hop on the 905 wagon too, if I can find one

I have a 905. I'll set it to online for you to use. I've tried it myself but personally I prefer the Toyota GT One. I can't seem to get near the time I set in the Toyota with the 905, must be the setup. All I did with the Toyota was take off the turbo, adjust the aero to get under 700 pp, adjusted the transmission, and go. Everything else is default.

Hi KB,i used the praiano tune and dropped the rear downforce to around 70.
previously,like you said it,was slower than the other choice cars-but I managed to match my time in the toyota with these settings and I think they are good for another second or so.
Caution very twitchy -but then I use auto and the pad.

 

[billers]

I'll try the 905 tune soon, only thing is I hate that awful engine note from it I was in 70th last night before I went to bed (uk time) so I'm probably well down now. Hope praianos tune will be good as always.

Oh and if anyone wants another 'real car' to drive in the ring tt, use praianos tune for the nsx-r lm race car it's brilliant and a lot of fun too!

 

[mike_gt3]

FR sent and 2J is online, hope you can do well with this car! This one has rigidity improvement, I use the one without, if you want to use that one let me know - I'll put that online as well.

FR accepted, thank you! much appreciated, will try to run today after work.

 

[Endless-Wilso]

If no one is gonna use the thread that beat the other one by 5 minutes then just close it.

You can has the next one i had my glory :tup:

 

[Jakob79]

done both
Spa 700 PP: Audi R8 Playstation LMP ranked @ 333th with 1:56.583
Ring 600 PP: 905 Race Car ranked @ 1227 with 6:29.333

Yea, I'm gonna try Praiano's tune today. He had just put it up last night when I was getting ready for bed. I think I'm going to work some more on my Toyota GT-ONE tune today also. I really think that car has some good potential. If I can get it to handle like my Speed 8, I think I could crack the top 100. Thanks for the reply. Peace.

 

[JOEBEEZ]

Ah man i wish i had a 2J for the ring, then i could see how fast i really am!

Being using the takata dome NSX and its pretty good but yeah like 6.31 is the best i can manage in it. by the off chance does anyone have a decent tune for the NSX?

 

[majyk]

My best time at Spa (so far) is a relatively slow 1:58.784. I say relatively because it's still 1264 IN THE WORLD (far the time being)


oops. using 905

 

[jaskingt5]

its few lads with nsx there in first 100ts any decent set up for it? thx
