It's quite simple really.

Torque is a force. It is the rotational force applied to an object. Whether that be the wheels, gearbox input shaft or even just a bolt when you're tightening it up.

Power is a measure of work done and as such is a function of the force (torque) and the rotational speed:

Horsepower = Torque x Angular Speed

However when using RPM as a measure of speed it has to be converted, using RPM the equation is:

Hp = (T x RPM)/5252


The reason WRC cars have such high torque is because it allows them to have high power at low revs. This is due to the ~300hp restriction placed on them, so they produce around 3 bar of boost from ~2500rpm meaning that the 300hp is reached early in the rev range and maintained, giving them a very wide power band.

@JogoAsobi I didn't notice your post a while back asking for drifting tips! Here is what I threw together the other night. It''s not the end all be all of drifting tips, but hopefully it will help.

Drifting tips!

- Stay on the racing line. GT6 seems to calculate points based on the D1 style scoring system, so stay on the line as much as possible. Speed seems to not be a huge factor, but angle definitely is. Point that nose at the apex.

- Make sure you are as sideways as you can possibly be BEFORE the scoring zone.

- Use the suggested gear indicator, and try to use one or two gears above that.

- Always consider weight transfer!

- Let the wheel move in your hand. When you have your angle set, and if you can maintain steady throttle, you can then steer like normal, feeling where the front bites the road.

- Since the car will be in a slide, it will be difficult to just steer with the wheel. Lifting off suddenly will usually make you spin out, lifting off gently can potentially get you more grip in the back, but not necessarily.

- Depending on brake balance, you can turn in and left foot brake in order to decrease the radius of the turn. If you can manage to upshift, you can increase the radius, but with the GT6 clutch system that is nearly impossible without a paddle or sequential.

- Rhythmic throttle lifts can increase the radius of a drift, but you also need to work the wheel accordingly.

- The clutch and ebrake are great tools, but try not to overuse any of them. Some people even criticize too much ebrake usage. Back in the GTHD days I was accused of abusing the ebrake to get to the top of the leaderboards, so in response I set a score 1000 points higher than anyone else in the US without using it at all Either way, do whatever you can, but don't rely on any one technique. Being able to control weight transfer is going to be the most useful thing you can do.

I will also update this post in a little while with a tune for the race car event!

I will also try my best to do requests, but sometimes I have ZERO luck on tuning driftymobiles.

 

[SW__10]

@SileightyCyrus : Thanks for your drift tips & the tune 👍
Hopefully with your help I'll be able to gold all the drift challenges that come our way.

@fizzer : Great lap at Bathurst!

 

[JogoAsobi]

@JogoAsobi I didn't notice your post a while back asking for drifting tips!

I actually edited that post to get rid of previous "delete" so the onus is on me.
It wasn't a fresh post. But, thanks much for posting the drift info!

I had all but given up on trying to do them, after failing to gold in previous events.
I'll apply your advice and give the current ones another shot. 👍

@fizzer : Welcome!
Don't think I'm in your league though.

@JogoAsobi Yeah... @fizzer was with me in New York, crazy fast, and handsome too.

If you need any further help, we can jump into an online room together and I can observe/help.

 

[fizzer]

Was talking tunes with @SileightyCyrus on FB and realized I had tweaked the hoosiergirl set a little for my lap.

I think the slightly flatter powerband does the most good, it's pretty similar overall. 1 click more front rebound also seemed to let me be a little more aggressive on early throttle application and not lift the nose and hurt my rotation.

Here it be.

I think I could get a 2:11.5 outta it, but that would be a perfect lap for me based on my current lines/ref points/setup

 

[fizzer]

Did a 11.7 after a few more tweaks I like. Could see a low 11 high 10 now if I put a real clean one down.

Changes:
Camber: .1/.3
Toe: -0.02/0.17
Lsd:14/13/16

Camber definitely added a little bite on the high speed turns but moved my braking points back a foot or so, worth it.

Lsd accel to 13 reduced some inside rear spin up in the tight stuff and put more power to the ground. Tried 14 but it was too far, outside rear more likely to go under power. Happened a little at 13 too, but the little bit more rear toe in seemed to help that.

Edit: BTW, don't expect me to be so anal about every TT, but for whatever reason I love just turning laps with this combo. Something really rewarding about screaming around Bathurst in this twitchy little thing

 

[SileightyCyrus]

@fizzer thank you, sir! I can continue my battle with @SW__10 now, then start chasing you down...

 

[SW__10]

@JogoAsobi : I had all but given up on trying to do the drift events also.
Now we have Sileighty guiding us we should be ok 👍.

@SileightyCyrus , @fizzer : It's a US GT Academy '14 conspiracy to ruin the look of my FR LB!
You pair are working in tandem! It's an outrage.......a disgrace!

Seriously though, good work fella's!

I'll try your set up @fizzer for Bathurst. I'll try my best to catch you .


I'm going to enjoy the friendly competition with you and @SileightyCyrus, win or lose. 👍

Now if only I could even come close to you guys on the drift err I mean rally trial!

 

[SW__10]

Updated my Evo tune with tweaks that got me closer to @SileightyCyrus a few days ago 👍.

Improved slightly at Bathurst with @fizzer's tune .

Both TT's need a big session over the weekend .

 

[JujiroMatsuda]

Has anyone seen @JogoAsobi lately? I can't even see his profile any more so I wouldn't even know which one is the last one he made.

 

[Jaywalker]

He's MIA. He had a with someone here & said he was done with GTP. He also stopped posting his seasonal threads then as well.

 

[JujiroMatsuda]

He's MIA. He stopped posting his seasonal threads a while back now.

...and I assume noone knows the reason either eh? Thanks for your info. I tried to start a conversation with him but the system won't let me. I suppose his well being is ok, since someone took all the trouble to lock up his profile, I guess he did that, if you're in an accident and hospitalised you wouldn't bother to do that. If you're reading this Jogo hope everything is ok mate.

Read my edited reply above...

 

[JujiroMatsuda]

Read my edited reply above...

(-_-).....wow... Oh well I guess I'll PM him to his PSN then. Time to pull out my PS3 out of box and fire up.lol

 

[LJ12]

Sad to see JogoAsobi isn't on GTP anymore. He helped me A LOT on time trials, and driving setups. If he never returns, he will be missed from GTPlanet!

 

[GRANKUSTOM]

Unfortunately even on PSN he has not appeared much .....
when I had a conversation with him for the PSN, he told me he GTPlanet "never more", it made me a very sad .......
felt sadness in their words.
let time take care this it and the time will dilute what happened.

we lost an extraordinary member of the community.

But ...... he know that he let great friendships here 👍

Thank You, for all JOGO!

 

[wormy09]

Yeah, that what happens when people don't appreciate someones work...
Thank You, Jogo

 

[JujiroMatsuda]

It's such a shame isn't it, what a huge loss. I PSN'ed him a moment ago. Thing is, I loaded GT6 to see if there's a new patch. Ver 1.11 now??? Wow, it evolved quite a bit, the last I played was 1.06. It's been more than an hour it still hasn't updated yet... More than 2GB, it better be good. Do I get V12 engine sound now, for the first time?lol

edit: They've taken away my GT Academy. Damn, why would they have to do that? I had only completed first two rounds, was looking forward to have a go at it to see if I could crack top 7,000.lol

I'm afraid you won't) It will be nice to see your racing line again

 

[FordMKIVJ5]

I think he left as people kept making indirect, snide remarks about using no ABS, which he eventually had enough of.

It would be great if we could convince him to come back and just post in here- it seems the threads he made about seasonal events is where he met with these remarks.

Right, but why the hell they were trolling guy, who makes so much for this community? That's what I can't understand.
I red that topic a little, I felt like they were trolling him...

 

[SW__10]

I hope Jogo does come back. I'm not sure he will though.

It's not the same without him!

For a moment, when I saw this thread active, I thought he might of returned.

It is sad to have Jogo absent from GTPlanet. I quite miss him though, and as you said, it would be great to have him back.

Let's try and keep this thread running in honor for Jogo though. What do you guys think about that?

 

[Crozzlow]

I liked Jogo very much, I am sorry he decided to split. There are a couple of people on here who thrive on confrontation , which I find boring...I am only sorry he let those one or two effect him so much. Come back Jogo!!

 

[JujiroMatsuda]

I might get me a decent PC and join on Assetto Corsa or upcoming pCARS forums then interact with Jogo there, since he seemed so determined NOT to come back here when he kindly PMed me today.

 

[Sum1s2pid]

I, um... wait, what? Took a summer vacation from the game and forums, come back to post some TT results on the PS3 and check up on everyone here so I can make angry posts about how y'all are too fast, and everything goes straight to hell!

In case you're lurking or have a network of ninja spies: Peace out, Jogo. I thoroughly enjoyed your blue lines and contributions to the forums. Hope to see you in some PS4 racers. 👍

 

[SileightyCyrus]

Man, I miss that guy. The thing that pushed him over the edge was so unnecessary, and the perpetrator keeps the same attitude when talking to everyone else. I have a lot to say, but don't need to start a flame war. I will do my part to keep this going, despite the fact that the TT's seem to all be SRF free these days.

 

[Ryk]

A real shame as it does take a bit of "Mr Management" skills (Little Miss Management if you are a female reader) to set up and keep us drivers in line and still driving hard to the same goal. (Ever tried to herd kittens?)

JogoAsobi will be remembered as a stellar bloke who added to the enjoyment of GT. Put effort in to help everyone.

Shame we can't turn Trolls=0 at GTP.
