They are the large white markers when adjusting all the individual gears...
A 4speed Tranny would be:...
...1st-0%,2nd-35%,3rd-70%,4th-100%...NASCARS...
...A 5speed Tranny would be:...
...1st-0%,2nd-25%,3rd-50%,4th-75%,5th-100%...Sauber-Mercedes C9 LM Race Car...

...I hope I got this right, l tried the 5speed Tranny Trick on a Sauber-Mercedes C9 LM Race Car
...and got it up to 255mph at Circuit de La Sarthe but it gets squirrelly...lol

This is exactly this. You can make some variations to spread the gears, like longer 2 or 3 first gears on a very powerfull car to avoid wheel spin, or very close 3 or 4 frist gears when you need good retake on a slow track with very low speed turns (like eiger)....

The most important is to let the final gear as low as you can to reach the desired speed.

Sometime ,for cars with a very large powerband and a huge torque, you can do the "oposit tranny trick".
FG full left
top speed max
spread gears
Set top speed with FG again.

It's not common but i used it on a few cars like the Plymouth Cuda 440 six pack 657 HP at 5100 rpm and 834 ft/lb at 3000 rpm.

The problem of the tranny trick is on some low power /torque cars ,even more with grippy tires + 4WD, is that you will not have a good standing grid start because of the very long first gear.
In this case, raise the ratio of the first gear till ok for the start and spread the rest on space you still have on the setting panel.
For example:
1st = 50%
2d = 60%
3d = 70%
4th = 80%
5th = 90%
6th = 100%

The best thing is always to check with your ghost on the test track to see what is the best option for your car.

Hey,

Just wondering also, will your tunes change much for full power cars? I pretty much just race Qualifying laps on different circuits @ full power in standard trim (no big GT wings etc) only use downforce on cars with STD wings or ones that look STD on the car (refer Ferrari enzo) As you have so many is there any you would recommend for really fast lap times?

thanks again,

 

[Br1mann]

Thanks for all your tunes. I've notice you use sport soft on a lot of your tunes. Do you get more speed out of these tires. What is your thought process when it comes to chosing tires for you tunes? I race online a lot with your tunes and I usually take off the SS and put racing soft on. Is doing this slowing my cars down?

Hi man! I think that, just pushing the throttle down, with racing soft tires, is not actually, racing. Anyway you won't be able to race this way a 60 laps race because of tire wear. 👍

The excess of power can generate some wheel spin, then you can low the LSD accel till you feel OK.
I can't recommend one or 2, there are so much.... Lately i've tuned a
MERCEDES-BENZ SL65 AMG (R230) '04 // 550PP // RACING SOFT TIRES

It's very fast , i think it's my faster road car 550PP at suzuka for example.

I just try to have the same amount of grip X power to have a pleasant drive.
Too much grip like racing soft on a 400PP car is not fun. The car don't even need a tune to go fast.
Also a 600PP car with comfort tires is very difficult to maintain on the road.
So i try to increase the tires grip and power of the car together.
350=CM
400=CS
450=SH
500=SM
550=SS
600=RH
650=RM
700UP=RS tires.
Like this you have a good amount of everything , it's fast, technical to drive but fun, and tuning make a real difference at the end of the lap.

[praiano63]

New tune update 2.10.

The car can be tuned at 600PP using power limiter too. I race it against my Honda NSX loctite '01 superGT on Suzuka in this configuration 600PP /racing hard.
Both at the same path, this is a very good reference.

Praiano my friend ... I need your help ... these days I'm messing in a Honda NSX Mobil 1 "standard." I trying to beat the time of 1:39 Nationale Monza Circuit. To reach 1:40.5 put in the "aero" at least possible to get 299 km / h down the straight ... further yes this very difficult to meet the goal ... I'm using soft racing tire. Any suggestions to help?!
Configuring the race: 600PP
Thanks for now ....

I never knew axactly where stand the green and red lap limit on this track, that's why i almost never drive there. So this is difficult for me to say how you can do.
Talking about chassis tuning, if you have the lowest rear aero downforce possible and the max front grip without loosing the rear end, must be the faster way for this car.
If you can't play with performance points adding power and weight ,then no way for ballast solutions too.
It rest you the gears. Try to do a tranny trick with a lower Final gear value as possible when reach the max speed you want.

I don't see anything else to do.

If you tell me the max speed (UP RIGHT) you have on your tune, i can try to make a gearbox for you. And also need to know if your car Honda Mobil 1 NSX (JGTC) &#8217;01 is totally stock, no engine....

Huge fan of your tunes Praiano, enough said period. While the update basically killed my favorite online cars 190 2.5-16, R8, CSL, your new 2.10 tunes are helping me get back into the online racing thing, which is the best part of GT5 at this point in my opinion.

Thanks again for keeping the outstanding tunes coming.

Just looking for that magic car that has great front end grip and balance/fun to drive factor of my favorites like the CSL and 190 2.5-16 and even the R8 on certain tracks.

Your GTO updated tune is pretty good overall and has been my favorite as of late.

Generally ,lighter is better till a certain point. But ,when i'm not satisfied with the balance of a car, i add ballast and i try to find the faster configuration with this.
Try after try , my ghost tell me what is the best choice.
I only tune on tracks i know perfectly, there i can repeat the same situation lap after lap and during the test ,ghost is the perfect tool for me.

Hello Praiano. Today I tested the adjustment gearbox that you step ... recognize an improvement ... I managed to do in Monza 1:40.100, ie very close to my goal ...
Thank you so much for your help.👍👍👍

Hi friend!!
After de 2.10 I've done the event GT500 600PP, and initially with 2.09 the NSX are the best, but now the players have taken better times with Toyotas Supras, premium and standar, because these models have lost more PP.

As not have an updated tune any model, can you check any? Maybe we get a surprise...

Have a nice day!

 

[Br1mann]

I just wanted you to know, I love the format you post your tunes. On my IPad, I tap on your tune chart, save as a image, and I have in my Camera roll for quick finding. Any chance you'll do an iPad app? Could you give me a link of a good tuning guide. I want a better understanding on tuning.

NISSAN GT-R BLACK EDITION `12 // 600PP // SPORT SOFT - ONLINE OK

DLC CAR

This is the kind of car i really love to drive. No doubt a pilot car, not extremely sharp but you have to do the right input on the direction , brake and acceleration. Playing with everything to stay on the fast line is not difficult but it ask some concentration. The result is very very fun and very very fast. I race it on deep forest , trial , laguna , ring..... allways with a great pleasure anywhere. It´s still perfect detuned to 580PP with Sport medium.

One of my best tune. At least one i enjoy the most. 👍​

Thanks a lot for yours kinds words.
Take care with this handicap, even with 80 years old..... it's not a bicycle race !! and the Cien is a great car.
Try the MERCEDES-BENZ SL65 AMG (R230) '04 // 550PP // RACING SOFT TIRES
It have a great top speed , lot of power and a huge torque. This is my fastest 550PP road on Suzuka for example.
Check the Supra also. Those cars fully doped with steroids after 2.10...

Good luck......... to your father !!! and for you too, you'll need a big amount for sure !!!
