R.S.01 GT3 handling issue

[stevewf1]

Noticing an issue with the Renault RS01 GT3 where it constantly spins in hairpin bends. Is fine in every other corner, but always spins in hairpins, mid corner, when off throttle and not on the brakes, and not carrying any real speed either. Have tried changing everything on setup including anti-roll bars, suspension, diff, ride height and makes no difference. Even with stability control etc turned on, still the same issue. Anybody else experiencing same thing?

I experienced this on Suzuka at the hairpin.

I stupidly picked Renault for the manufacturers cup thinking the R.S 01 can't be all bad, Boy was I wrong, 10 laps of agony with the Suzuka hairpin and Spoon curve wasn't much better, Yay for not being allowed to tune any settings, The car is crap with its standard setup.

 

[stevewf1]

Suzuka hairpin was where I have had the issue too!

 

[MaddinICE]

I had that annoying thing too when i raced with Renault last season, especially in the Suzuka hairpin. At least i got my first win in a FIA championship with the Megane.

So I haven't been playing much since I got Shadow of War last week, but the RS01 was always one of my go-to cars. I always found it extremely stable. Different strokes I guess.

I've had zero issues with this car, are you using TCS?

You are aware most modern GT3 cars were designed around using electronic aids, right?

It's not sacrilege to use a little TCS.

I typically would use TCS pre-1.06 but after that I've gotten by on most cars without it, including on the RS01. In fact, the RS01 was one of the few cars I hadn't used TCS on even before 1.06. I found it to be the most stable of any MR Gr.3 I've driven so far.

I have zero problems driving the RS01 and I drive without assists, it's one of my favorite Gr3 cars to drive, the Huracan is more of a problem cars going around corners for me (and for most people).

With locked settings, this was a problem at the Suzuka hairpin taken in first gear so best to take it in second and try to increase the lock on entry gently to create some understeer so you can get on the throttle early which also prevents the car from getting bogged down on exit.

 

[Nando deBem]

Maybe, as a workaround, get the TCS up a notch for hairpins, then bring it down again for the rest of the lap.

 

[phil_75]

Unless its been fixed in 1.08 i can't replicate the problem.
Renault RS01 GT3 16 on Suzuka, default settings, all assists off except ABS, using DS4 drove 6 laps without issue.
Lap times averaging high 2.00

Edit, seems it is the fully customised transmission that changes the cars behavior, it wants to step out under power.
It sort of feels like the LSD settings are all wrong but it was still easily drivable.

The Citroën Gr3 at Interlagos is a problem for me.

The thing with the RS01 is to drive with a gear higher than most other cars, go through the hairpin in 2nd gear, not 1st gear (which could be why you spin out easily), go through the turn 1 from start/finish with 5th gear and gear down to 3rd and weave through the esses in 4th. The gearing on the RS01 is a lot shorter than most cars.

First of all hi!

@BSDShoes is right, most of the 7 Gear Cars have problems through that hairpin.

I can explain how i handle it, that the car is not spinning anymore there, afterall there are some options which helps very well for that hairpin.

Most Important for those 7 Gear cars are the first gear, make this one longer to take away possible tirelock while turning.

Also the LSD can help wonder there - as example the brakingsensivity... try put this value a bit higher and more rear camber can help aswell, but this one should only be finetuning after all other.

So: 1. Try to drive with a higher 1. Gear (Helps 90%)
2. Higher Brakingsensivity in LSD Settings (Should handle the 10% which are left)
3. more rear toe
4. more rear camber.
(5. Softer Stabilisator can help aswell but iam not a friend using the Stabilisator to handle Tirelocking-Spin- Problems)

PS: You can also go to my Setup Page: MINKIHL Setups , because there i have a Setup for this Track for this car with Transmission and LSD.

Here also the Video to this Setup i have Spoken. I hope I could help.

Whats that blinking light next to abs? Some driving assist? Because that changes things to of course.....

i think you mean countersteering.
I turned it off and the hairpin is the same result. I dont know why its still on.

 

[D-Max]

old but gold... set your speed up and use a higher gear

The one on the right side? that's countersteering assist.

Well that explains the better handling then right?

Except the ingame TCS works like crap compared to real TCS. Real TCS is barely noticeable. The game TCS is also stability control and it slows the car down.

As for this topic, you just need to be less aggressive on the throttle. I found the RS01 is better than the Ferrari. The Ferrari eats its rears.

I've just stumbled upon this issue, specific to the hairpin at Suzuka.

With fixed settings this corner is impossible. I've tried different lines, gears, throttle and brake applications - the car just spins.

 

[ChevapBH]

I thought this is a new thread because today I tried this car on Suzuka and couldn't go trough hairpin smoothly, it always spins a bit.

I had started another after this one didn't appear in my first search. Then I found it!

Lol... The RS 01 with No TCS is one of the best handling cars in the game. I drive it and have no issue.

Do you have to be light on initial throttle? Yes, just like the Ferrari. Are any corners "impossibile"? That's a massive exaggeration. You need to work on your throttle control.

 

[IngRobNy]

Hm, i used this car on Interlagos 5 laps, not tempered with, just right out of the box and since i play with a controller, i'm using vanilla settings in aid etc and i didn't have a problem with this car, handling was great in my opinion. I will test this car a bit more on Suzuka .

After 5 laps on Suzuka, racing soft tires, the car behave a bit weird in the sharp corner after under the bridge, slow speed, not trottle and the car starts to loose the rear end and the nose of the car is turning to the left and it is just that corner, weird...

Edit.

Tried the RC F GT3 with racing hard tires now, but this car is behaving "normal" in that corner, no loose rear end or anything.

Putting to one side your obvious heroism.

Erm, as I said. One specific corner - the hairpin at Suzuka. And looking at ingame efforts and posts on here I am not alone.

Throttle has nothing to do with it as it feels like the LSD locks the rear axle and the car just spins. It's not spinning accelerating away from the apex, or braking into it. It is a weird characteristic of an otherwise quite enjoyable car.

It can also be a challenge coming out of the hairpin on Yamagiwa if you stab the throttle. Pick the throttle up slower.

And it's not heroism to able to simply play the game without the player aids. Turn them all off, because they slow you down. The TCS in particular will kick in and out unpredictably, and THAT will cause a spin in slow corners.

Imho, the most difficult car to drive out of the Suzuka hairpin in the M6. It will light up tires if you breath on it wrong.

Sorry. You've not read my post. With no aids, on a trailing throttle the RS01 spins at low speed in the hairpin at Suzuka. That's no brakes, 1st or 2nd gear, no throttle. Spins......seems to lock the rears, I assume due to default diff setting.

All of my RS01 driving friends had the same issue and the manufacturers races were littered with spinning Renaults.

I got the same issue two times yesterday with the 650S Mc Laren
Change the car with the GTR et no issue ....
(I run with a wheel (G29) with no aids)

 

[Voodoovaj]

no throttle.

Trackday 101. Never be off the throttle mid corner.

I do trackdays mostly on motorcycles, but the above statement is true for cars as well. If you are off throttle mid corner, you lose control.

Aka "trailing throttle over steer"

This is where a left foot braking technique comes in handy. Full brakes on the approach and, at most, to the apex. You should be picking up the throttle just before the apex and holding it steady through the corner, balancing the car on the throttle. Then, once the car is pointing down the straight, bleed in more throttle.
