@praiano63 May I ask why my RCF F GT500 Rear downforce Lv. only set at max 1000? I didn't change anything, did I missed something? Thx

Well, I tried this new tune and it's perfection. I pulled a 4:06 at le Sarthe without a sweat tonight with the de Tomaso. Which is similar to the CLK times I was pulling last night in the WTC 800 For a street car to be so close to a serious race car is very amazing.
Thank you so much Maestro
Cheers, Pete

What exactly do you recommend for manual adjustment at a top speed of 180 km/h ??Ferrari Dino 246 GT '71 - 500PP - Sport hard tires x Comfort soft - All aroundI only could this car work with a mix compound due to lack of grip for rear end. Even extreme settings can't cure it at all. SO the only option were a softer compound at the rear. It works. The car is nice to drive . Not 100% but at least you can drive this wonderfull '71 bolid. Even the ugly wings and front aerodynamic part were helping . So better let the car natural this way. It's a beauty. You can use manual gear or not , up to you.
Only Rims Original size - Rim Width Wide - Offset ST
The default setting that can be seen in the picture does not look optimal

There is no specific gearbox for "all around" settings . It's just an example. You can try to match the speed of each gear playing with the ratios numbers. After last update no need to set the "top speed autoset" . It was a way to have a close gearbox ratio to be able to play with this config. No need of this trick anymore. It don't work this way now.What exactly do you recommend for manual adjustment at a top speed of 180 km/h ??

I missed that response too. I’ve asked him so many questions, because I’m trying to learn, that I didn’t want to ask him. I’m afraid I come across as questioning him vs trying to gain knowledge and understand, or see if what I think is m understanding is correct. I’ve often wondered about the restricter vs ecu and also why he seems to always use the high RPM turbo when the mid RPMs tend to perform better on a lot of tracks. I usually purchase both and try with both. On cars you really have to down tune a lot to fit under a certain PP, often the stock turbo works best. So then I try all three. Ha
I feel the same way. Also with gear boxes and gearing , once you use @prasettings you can tailor to your liking. Thats why he always says what track he uses it for.
Trust me all these races teams would have a different setup for most tracks.
Keep asking the questions, I am following and trying to become a better tuner as well.
But for sure @praiano63 is the master. He has opened up the tuning to a new level....

I can tell you that with turbo’s, they can have a drastic impact on economy with most, not all, cars. Turbos are also similar to the ECU/Restrictor question. Sometimes what you give up in HP yields a massive gain in torque and it can really depend on the specific car or track.
Yes for sure. Another this i forgot to mention, is lately I pay close attention on choosing the turbo to the 0-.25 times, the 0-.62 times and then the 62-93 times to see which will have the best acceleration. I am not that good of a driver so I generally choose acceleration and then adjust some of the upper gears if i need more top speep for a certain track.

Praiano gave an excellent response on how it translates to on track performance but basically the gist is that the ECU tries to restrict performance by lowering hp and torque equally thus not affecting the engines power band (this is the overlapping area in an engines power curve relating to hp, torque and fuel consumption). The Power Restrictor does what it's name implies it just restricts raw horsepower. It results in higher fuel consumption than tuning the ECU (due to higher engine torque) as well as changes the engines characteristics by affecting the engines natural hp:torque ratio.

Yeah, I have three of them now, original tune, amplified tune and swapped wide car tune.
Hey has anybody tried the 94 McLaren F1 for sale in the legends yet? I'm having a hard time parting with 19 million since the 95 race version seemed underwhelming, compared to what it used to be in GT's gone by.

Recently i've tried to level some cars with same weight x power x torque... but it don't work well with weird GT physics. Impossible to match performance.
So @m0b1us writen above seems to work . Normally , when i don't have problem with consumption involved , i check all the options with the help of a "faster lap ghost" and compare . Just to be sure.
After some updates , mainly the one that keep the gearbox out off the PP system , several of my older settings don't match anymore. Just need to reduce the PP with the help of ECU , power restrictor ... Tires... or else.
