Mm..m..mm...more F40s?! 👍 I'm just about to hop on the PS3 once I finish up with these GTP notifications. I'll be heading straight to the dealership.

 

[ALB123]

I haven't gotten started on the F40 LM race car yet...I forgot that new Seasonal Events came out today, so I've decided to run those first. I already owned the Fiat & Audi gift cars, but surprisingly, I didn't own the 2002 SRT Viper GTS. So, that was a very welcome present. It's allowing me to build your SRT VIPER '02 Venom 600 GTS ('96 Hennessey Venom) replica... 👍

Notes :
This particular car was one of the often forgotten Hennessey work, produced back in the 90's, Venom 600 GTS is not a very powerful car in today's world of supercars and hypercars above 600HP. This built is as close as possible to the real car, similar power and torque, suspension and LSD The car has immense grip as well stability, beware though with the throttle on low speed corner exit.

Tuned and tested at Brands Hatch GP, Bathurst, and Apricot Hill. The Venom 600 GTS able to lap Bathurst in 2:22 region on comfort soft with plenty of room to improve.

What an amazing car!! I just finished running three laps around Nordschleife and if it weren't 3AM I think I would have wanted to run 30 more... This car has absolutely superb levels of grip - no doubt the flat floor kit is actually doing its job, for once! The amount of grip is equally matched by the power being pumped out of this V10.

It's quite interesting...I wasn't really a big fan of the Viper before I got GT6. Now, I have a few in my garage that I just can't get enough of. I can't wait to give this car a proper test when I'm not quite so tired and I can push a little harder and stay a little bit more focused.

I'm quite certain anyone who is a regular of Ridox Replica Garage will be running this week's Seasonal Events. Well, you will be receiving an '02 SRT Viper for winning the Expert Level race around Willow Springs (Big Willow). I suggest you build yourself this Hennessey Venom replica. You won't be disappointed. 👍

UPDATE 2016 December : Added alternative damper/ARB with focus on rotation on entry and exit, maybe too extreme when combined with AYC Tarmac setting. Added variety of AYC setting. The alternative damper/ARB+AYC Tarmac on CS can easily do low 1:40s at Apricot Hill.

[joaosoarescso]

I'm having so much fun in the new 450pp quick matches with the FIT RS Turbo, it can pull away from a detuned zonda from 140 kmh to 200 range, then the gearbox gets short, and it would be more enjoyable without drivers ramming and pit maneuver just to get in front, but overall ita awesome seeing just a little car kick ass and keep up with GSXR and 111R

Next I'll try the Courtney Sport VX200!!!

Well, hello, my sweet! I cant wait to get home and build this beauty! The Evo IV is nice too, but that S70/2! Heaven in mechanical form!

 

[danbojte]

I wonder what if I set the room's race quality to Low or Very Low or Very High?!

Does that affect all the players from my room, how I now it at the moment?!

What do we lose? What do we gain?
Has anybody tried the differences effectively?

Only competent answers are accepted.

I always use low or very low when hosting a room It uses less frequent send/receive data between users, although when we had the race last week, I monitored the data sent/received on my modem and they are not that high ( about 128-256kbps on average ). I think the lower the quality the lighter the load on long distance players as less data is being send or received. When I tried to set the max room size ( number of players allowed to connect ), the lower the number, the higher quality the game recommends and the more number ( 16 ), the game recommends very low.

All these are correct. 👍 What I'd really like to know is what are we losing if I'll go lower with the data exchange.
I used Standard for the latest races.

I understand that lower is less communication, but, we'll see less details? Uglier cars? Simplified tracks? Or what? I have the answers in my imagination only and I was hoping for an answer from reality, from experience. 👍

The driving is the same of course, but the main difference would be the smoothness of other cars movement, less data, means they won't move fluidly ( this can be easily seen when you watch online race replay ) high vs very low would have different fluidity in replay. For actual race itself, I don't any difference, I have hosted many track days lobby since GT5, and always on low/very low and I can bumper to bumper another car just fine.

At the replays I thought as well. 👍

OK then, depending of which continents will take part, we'll use an adequate setting. Thank you.

Would you like to reserve a racing number for yourself?

 

[ALB123]

Keep in mind, @danbojte, that the problems I had last week were due to MY modem/connection. Remember I was complaining about GTPlanet loading slowly long before the races began? After getting bounced from the room twice I ran a speed/ping test and I was only getting like 2-3 Mbps downstream with a relatively high ping. A simple reset of the modem had me back above 100 MBps downstream and a very low ping time. So, I think if everybody at least checks their connections via speedtest.net, or a similar site, and fixes any potential issues before trying to enter the race lobby we should be okay.

Just my two cents.

"Thus the heavens and the earth were completed, and all their hosts. By the seventh day God completed His work which He had done, and He rested on the seventh day from all His work which He had done. Then God took out his Ferrari F40 GT/LM and said 🤬!"
- Genesis (Ridox Replica Bible)

Okay...Now that I've just booked my first class ticket to hell, upon my death , let me tell you how much I love this F40. This car feels incredible going around Suzuka! I'll be honest...That track still terrifies me after ~18 months of driving there. I don't know why. Sure, there are some places where you need to be careful and make sure you don't push too hard, but it's not the Nordschleife after all. However, when I did my first lap in this F40 GT/LM car all fears were gone.

I still had a few spin outs. I ended up building sand castles on the beaches a couple of times. But 10 laps went by in what seemed like the blink of an eye. The suspension and Sport Medium tire compound provide an incredible amount of grip. She'll still break that rear end loose on you, so be careful...but, all you have to do when she starts sliding out on you at 80mph is just lightly pull your foot back ever so much. She'll sink her teeth back into the pavement and then you can stomp back on that accelerator.

I tried a couple different ways through the 'S' Curves section of Suzuka. I tried rolling through them with the RPMs screaming, leaving me just enough room to punch it occasionally and then back off the gas as I swung the wheel into the next turn. I also tried it in 3rd gear, keeping the car more settled and allowing that Ferrari torque to pull me along like a passenger on a sleigh ride. Both will work. I guess it's all about your particular driving style.

One thing I've always loved about the F40s in GT6...You'll hear the engine screaming and look down and notice that you're just hitting 7000 RPM. This is where any sane man would upshift. However, if you want to hang on for the next 700-800 RPM you'll be treated to edge of the cliff excitement as the engine is absolutely howling at you, but still pulling like crazy! I don't get that from any other car in GT6.

I meant to bring this online so I could test out tire wear versus fuel consumption. I forgot and went through "Test Drive" mode instead. Sorry...

Oh, another thing I love about this car... Don't worry about running Standard Brakes. She's so light you won't even need Racing Brakes. You'd just have to turn them down. It does stink that we can't paint Standard Brakes though. Do you hear me Polyphony Digital? Change that, please.

Now, where is that McLaren F1 hiding?

Thank you for the fun reading Did you managed to break into 2:10s lap at Suzuka ? A good lap would yield about 57s 1st sector ( s turn to just before the hairpin )

My last play was racing at expert level FR seasonal at Willow Springs, driving my BMW 1 Series M coupe replica ( new build ) on CS with mere 466PP ( worn oil 330HP, 1600+kg, yellow worn chassis ) managed to win by doing BTCC style battle against the leader ( C7 Stingray ), got the lead in lap 5 1st turn, but the crazy ass mofo C7 AI is within my tailpipe until the last turn to finish, he pulled several bumping move, tried to pit me from inside, and the last turn, he tried to ram from the side on exit. I failed several times battling in the last turn and came in 2nd, but the last one, I became aggressive and hold the inside, blocking his line, he got crazy swerving left and right like hyper dog, and I had to keep blocking till finish line

The BMW 1 Series M coupe replica did consistent low 1:30s lap, and will need to finish the race in less than 8:10s time It's a real driver test race, where smooth is quick and passing is tricky to pull, especially on the 5th to 2nd car ( in packs ) and the leader C7 which can only be passed by doing late braking pass on last lap 1st turn, Gan-san / Motoharu Kurosawa style from Best Motoring ( get into the inside of his door side and held it to pass as you exit, forcing him to go wide and back off ) If the driver missed this chance to pass, it will be near impossible to pass the leader as the rest of the lap, even if the BMW can get close on corner entry, on the high speed corners and exit, the C7 will simply pull away with sheer power even if the BMW can draft within a car length.

Notes coming soon

My last play was racing at expert level FR seasonal at Willow Springs, driving my BMW 1 Series M coupe replica ( new build ) on CS with mere 466PP ( worn oil 330HP, 1600+kg, yellow worn chassis ) managed to win by doing BTCC style battle against the leader ( C7 Stingray ), got the lead in lap 5 1st turn, but the crazy ass mofo C7 AI is within my tailpipe until the last turn to finish, he pulled several bumping move, tried to pit me from inside, and the last turn, he tried to ram from the side on exit. I failed several times battling in the last turn and came in 2nd, but the last one, I became aggressive and hold the inside, blocking his line, he got crazy swerving left and right like hyper dog, and I had to keep blocking till finish line

The BMW 1 Series M coupe replica did consistent low 1:30s lap, and will need to finish the race in less than 8:10s time It's a real driver test race, where smooth is quick and passing is tricky to pull, especially on the 5th to 2nd car ( in packs ) and the leader C7 which can only be passed by doing late braking pass on last lap 1st turn, Gan-san / Motoharu Kurosawa style from Best Motoring ( get into the inside of his door side and held it to pass as you exit, forcing him to go wide and back off ) If the driver missed this chance to pass, it will be near impossible to pass the leader as the rest of the lap, even if the BMW can get close on corner entry, on the high speed corners and exit, the C7 will simply pull away with sheer power even if the BMW can draft within a car length.

Another run with 1M replica, this time with 135i version, at 335HP, 1611kg, 468PP, on CS tire, the 2nd car ( Alfa Romeo 8C this time ) was hot on my rear bumper to finish line, he tried to pit me several times on the last lap, talk about dirty Bob He couldn't get closer on the first half of the last lap. Managed several 1:29s lap at Big Willow
Last lap, last half, the dirty Bob attacks :

And I went offroad and tried my best to get back on the tarmac to keep leading :

Another attempt to get me off the race, right before entering the last turn to finish :

This time, I managed to stay on the inside line and maintain the best possible speed to finish line with the crazy Bob hot on my tail.

I'll use any number still available

Keep in mind, @danbojte, that the problems I had last week were due to MY modem/connection. Remember I was complaining about GTPlanet loading slowly long before the races began? After getting bounced from the room twice I ran a speed/ping test and I was only getting like 2-3 Mbps downstream with a relatively high ping. A simple reset of the modem had me back above 100 MBps downstream and a very low ping time. So, I think if everybody at least checks their connections via speedtest.net, or a similar site, and fixes any potential issues before trying to enter the race lobby we should be okay.

Just my two cents.

Yes @ALB123 I know, thank you. 👍

I expect everybody to do their best to check, adjust, maintain, before entering a racing room, the Internet connection they are using, to have a pleasant racing experience.

I'll re-link here the best advices I've found.

LSD - 2 Way OS Giken Custom Built 25% Preload & Lock
Initial Torque : 17
Acceleration Sensitivity: 17
Braking Sensitivity: 17 ( Increase to 24 for better braking stability )


Brake Balance:
5/5 ( personal BB) or for ABS 0 wheel : 5/5, for ABS 1 - feel free to use your preferred brake balance. I recommend to run 5/5.

Recommended setting for DS3 user :

Steering sensitivity at +1 or +2, all aids off, except ABS 1 ( if not comfortable with ABS 0 ) with 5/5 brake balance as starting point.

Notes :

This replica is based on a Courtenay Sport customer car, originally VX220 NA car modified with Z20LET engine transplant and Z20LEH K04 Turbo from Astra VXR offering better performance and reliability. The 450PP is limited in power to fit in the regulation FITT British Invasion Tuning Challenge.

The weight of the car is 875kg ( curb weight of NA VX220 ) with 45/55 weight distribution of NA car. Suspension has been upgraded with NITRON NTR Race Coilover 3 Way with ERS Springs at 500/550. The stiff springs and ratio are chosen based on well proven formula for track racer VX220 with sticky semi slick tires. The front springs are harder than usual this time, offering sharper steering with damper & ARB all around setup for balanced handling. Ride height has been lowered by about 2 inch from stock height, while the alignment is based on street / mild track duty range of values, and I used less rear toe in to give more play when at the track.

Transmission uses Turbo VX220 Getrag 5 Speed ratios and final. This offers much better spread for the added power and torque, giving nice pull without inherent wheelspin drama. Courtenay Sport also offer performance/track oriented Final Drive at 4.170, giving much quicker acceleration from 1st to 3rd gear at a cost of lower top speed.

LSD is based on OS Giken with custom job, torque preload set at 25% with 2 way setup, also 25% lock. This will give nice balance against suspension setup, while still giving good traction even on lower gear exit. Simply hammer the throttle when in doubt and let the rear kick a bit then the LSD will do it's job, just make sure to hold that steering wheel like a man.

The VX220 was tuned and tested at Brands Hatch Indy, Willow Springs, Tsukuba, Autumn Ring and Red Bull Ring. At Brands Hatch Indy, it managed 52.1s with ease on SH tire. Another run managed 51.8s on 2nd lap, with slower 20.1s 1st sector and slightly lower last turn at 58mph as I overloaded left front tires for a moment. I have provided both replay of the run for reference. A good run would yield 19s 1st sector - reaching 100mph at the top of the hill before braking for the right hairpin and maintain 60+mph on the last corner, this would translate at least mid 51s

​

UPDATE : Added another replay of the 51.8s run at Brands Hatch Indy, added optional ARB and optional LSD braking value.

I'm having lots of fun and lots of money with these at the 450pp event and already at 6 million credits, 20 million car here i come..

This car is simply fast for its size, with only the gsxr4 and a stratos can beat it at midfield.

In the suspension i used the optional 6/6 ARB and the car got more stable on the high speed turns, less throttle needed, the rear toe angle at 0.36 helps on planting the rear on the road especially on the 1st and 2nd turn, but I'm not sure if I should lower the rear camber to 0.2 instead of the 1.6...

The gearbox uses the optional final gear at 4.170, i thought it would be to short for this track but its more than enough to keep up with the civics on the straights

I used also the optional braking sensitivity LSD at 24 and it helps alot on the downhill section with the sharp left hairpin, alot can go wrong there with an MR car, especially without ABS

My question is, since camber is all about the tire wear, should I put the rear camber at 0.2, since for most grip available since there's no wear on this event?

Good to hear the car has found a good use for credits farming For camber, yes, you can use 0.2 to get more rear grip, beware though that this may cause the car slower to rotate.
