Thx buddy, lots of grip, just a little unstable in consecutive corners but ok. Really appreciate that!
Yes it's true. Also it was the only way to add front grip on this car.
More i check the way very fast drivers are braking , i'm 100% convicted that late braking in GT7 is totally unefficient. This driving style bring a lot of unstability when you enter in turny sections particularly. Those very fast people are soft like silk , easy on brakes and cirurgical on their driving line.
 
I have ADHD. I will lose focus at some point in anything longer than 5 laps and spin out if I'm on TCS 0. Practice won't help lol. :banghead:
I tend to put a podcast on in the background when doing the longer races, gives my subconscious brain something to focus on and stops me daydreaming and spinning out.
 
Ferrari GTO '84 - 700PP - Racing Hard Tires - All tracks
Wide Car (Option up to you , i know some people will say " blasphemy" , No difference if you don't apply it)
Rims 16"
Rims With Wide - Offset Wide
Front A - Side A - Wing custom

All the 600 / 650 / 700PP are the same suspension settings , they work very well , the compound according to the power , it's ok.
Very fast , superior top speed for the Le Mans race. Easy for the rain.

Enjoy your drive.

Thank you Praiano for this excelent setup.
At the 30 min event at Le Mans my fastet Lap was 3:58,414 with racing Hard fm 1/2
Love it :)

Howdy from Texas again Praiano63! At your convenience, I would like to humbly submit another candidate for a tune. This particular car is slow, and I've also spent quite a few hours tuning the rear slide out of it only to end up with it all loose and floppy. And the car ain't great eit....NO. I won't do it, I gotte be serious here as this is important!

...

(I'm sorry)

Anywho, should you choose to do me the honor I'm be interested in a 650pp but wouldn't mind less PP, unlike my wife who wants...NO! I WON'T DO IT!

(Really I am sorry)

Now I know it won't be competitive, but this car is quite special to me for personal reasons. If you find yourself bored and otherwise unoccupied, I would greatly appreciate a drivable version of my beloved Fifi to lose some races in. There she is parked next to the wife's turd of a car (shhh, I need this). Also for your amusement is the best that I could slap together.

Finally I'm sorry for the bad jokes, please consider not reporting me. Thanks!

Best regards,
Ronnie from Texas

It’s back in the legends car dealership today. I bought it and tried it at Le Mans. With just a medium RPM turbo and zero suspension tune, I won easily. It’s a good car out of the box. I just now realized there was a Praiano tune for it. I was running 4.10 dry laps, I’ll check it again with his tune. It does well in the rain and you can push it hard in the corners on RH tires on a dry track. I’ll see how close I can get to the 4 min mark. The Veneno is the only car I can get under 4 min laps at 700pp there.
Curious! Did you get down to 4 min with the Alfa 155?

I did a couple of 4.05 laps during race.
 
Can i Pm you my tune for this car? I don’t use turbo but I have 480hp. On a FM1 lap I can get around 3:55 times for sure.
Ferrari 330 P4 '67 - 700PP - Racing Hard Tires - All Tracks (Le Mans)

Hi! Did you share your tune on this one?

Proof is in the pudding. I did need about 20 practice laps in the ‘59 Concept to get comfortable with the car, but this was an easy drive after that sloppy mess.

To build the racing fully custom gearbox do like this.
1st : Bring the top speed to minimum full left 250 kmh
2d: set every individual gears from 6th to 1st at the ratios writen on the sheet
3rd: Set the final gear ratio to 2.810

This is my new favorite car for the 700PP races. It is thirsty if you're not on full Lean though.

Hey Praiano,

thank you for your awesome work buddy.
The setup is sport soft or racing tires. When i'm choosing racing hard my lp is way over 700 with your config. What i have to change for the 700 lp with racing hard?
Right now i have lowered ecu to 75, downforce front 141 and rear 380 to get ~700 lp
Is there a better way?
Thank you :)

This is an option but this car is an early tune (3 may) , now i set the cars in a different way . Lower front end and less front downforce. The car still work very well also with racing tires.

Another fantastic and performant 4WD . Easy to place and obidient , huge grip and eagerness. From Tsukuba with a shorter gearbox to Nordschleife... I love this car.

1- set auto speed at the minimum 240kmh
2-set the final gear to 4.285 .
3- set each gear ratio beginning from the last gear to first gear in this order.
Done.

Hey Praiano,
I just grabbed the Celica GT-Four from the UCD and it's great fun, but testing out this tune and it seems it is now at 610PP. I could just lower the ECU to get it back to 600, but was wondering if you had any input on what changes would be best to get the PP back in range?

My best GR3 top 1 at SPA , 1 second faster than the 2 position in my GR3 garage.

To build the manual fully custom gearbox do like this.
1st : Bring the top speed to minimum full left 280 kmh
2d: set every individual gears from 6th to 1st at the ratios writen on the sheet
3rd: Set the final gear ratio to 2.560 for SPA or similar
For any other faster or slower track , set the final gear the way you want.

@praiano63 Since the most recent update, do these settings work for you on Nurburgring 24H track?

All of a sudden I am loosing control more often. I dont run that track much until recently.

If you can look at this Jag and the DBR9 both at 800pp tune. Thanks much

Hello. The only way is to low ECU and/or power restrictor to match the PP.

Recently , i remarked that a lot of cars with any drivetrain , tend do be unstable under braking due to weight transfer . I'm not a real life race car specialist but i like the fact that you can't smash the brakes giving full wheel angle input . It seems a good realism tendency to me. Just need to avoid late braking entering a turn and giving the right wheel angle to not losing control.
The Jag GR3 is still ok. If you tight the car just to reduce some move , you can easily kill the all around balance .
I think 800pp don't suit very well to GR3 cars. Normally i set my GR3 cars to 730PP.

Good man going for the manual option (and good to see you back posting regularly, like your curiosty for learning stuff!). Recall years ago 1st changing and it feeling awkward at first, but you quickly get used to to it mates, so please persist. It then carries over to all other racing games and you won't want to turn back to auto then...

Yes aids certainly can slow down. From what I can glean, the general recommendation is abs full, tcs 0 or 1. 0 generally considered quickest if you know the track and can handle the car, but running zero can be slower in that if you keep spinning out by pushing throttle too hard, you'll obviously lose time v being consistent but power/acceleration being cut slightly by tcs cutting in when accelerating out of turns.

Also worth bearing in mind tcs only kicks in if you do hammer it too much out of bends, so if you drive perfectly and running 1, in theory it may not even be activated. I sometimes ramp up tcs if it rains hard, particularly if I haven't had chance to enter tge pit row to change to inters/wets.

The other aids like asm, counter steer are too intrusive and effect how the car handles and slows it down too much. Although tge odd person mentions car sometimes benefits from them in license or missions, where cr4p handling can't be tuned out. Not only slows you down but becomes a crux potentially.

Basically my opinion formed from reading this forum is yiu want to aim for abs on, tcs 0 or perhaps 1 on some handful cars... rwd muscles, or say highly tuned 787b (I used tcs1 on a menu recently as was tedious having to run gauntlet of it not spinning out on tough daytona vgt series...). Some run abs weak, but that seems a very small % of players mentioning that... I would bit tge bullet, remove ALL aids apart from abs and tcs. Even if it means running 3 or 4 tcs and gradually whittling it down... which you most certainly will do. Pick more stable cars so experience less frustrating, and therefore less likely to get despondent and switch all on aids back on (so avoid tokyo gltch tomohawk, engine swapped m3, high powered rwds muscle cars, perhaps use 4wd or really stable praino tuned car or gr 3 or 4 sector cars with high grips... Alfa 155 is a good handling car.) You've got this 👍.
I did as you said. Took one of the most stable cars, the Lexus 500 on Sardegna, Pra's tune. Worked fine with TCS 3.

A question. Regarding TCS change to lower values. I run with controller. Is that more difficult?

Good choice of car. TBH I moved to a wheel around April, so no idea how the controller now fairs since all the updates. Someone in another thread recently said they felt its harder to correct oversteer since they moved to a wheel recently, but others claim people with wheels have an advantage. I have noticed some claim controllers have some kind of tcs/assist added into even if you set it as 0... Can recall months ago someone saying running tcs0 on controller is similar to running tcs1 on a wheel... not that i'd agree/disagree, just mentioning what I;ve read on here.

You can defo achieve 1 with a controller, thats for sure. So I'd certainly recommend aiming for that, then perhaps once used to it, try some stable cars on 0. TCS do help with wheelspin, but from my experience its too intrusive, at least at 2 or above. Some suggested tcs1 not as intrusive as it was pre 1.20/1.21 (whatever we're on on now).

@praiano63 Do you have any tunes for Peugeot 205 Turbo 16 Evoluition 2 '86 Group B car for race track racing. Or do you have any suggestions in general when converting Gr. B cars into all around track cars.

Thanks

3 is a high setting. Try lowering it to 1 and you’ll have faster lap times.
 
Yes like Badfish 2 said, it is the Mitsubishi Evo GR4, also very fast. The Mclaren I was talking about was the normal road car 650S, but as you already won with it, it must be fast for you if you had to pit and still won, remembering you won by 5 seconds when you did not pit with the Huracan GR4. However the Mclaren 650S GR4 is also fast if you use the same setup principle as the Huracan GR4, in fact, all FR, MR, and 4WD GR4 cars are quick at Tokyo with good fuel consumption, so the pit stop is quick as well if you have to pit. The Huracan GR4 I found was just so much faster than any of the others cars. But like I said most Lambos are quick in this game at this race and you only need an invitation for the Veneno if I'm not mistaken while the others are almost as fast at 600PP.
Yeah I specifically have found i love all the lambos. Im missing just one of the two you cant just buy at the market central. Even if you have no clue how to tune anything like me I can use any lambo and get 750k from the world championship a run. (1st in all 5 races)
