Notes

Still a work in progress, a replica of Ferrari 599XX Evoluzione 2012 with 750PS and 1310kg. I tried to get as close as possible for the torque figure 516ft-lb, the GT6 version replica has close to 519 ft-lb.

The real car - 2010 version with lower power and more weight managed to lap Nordschleife in 6:58.16.

I used stock gearbox in this one for now, suspension and LSD are still being tested. The wing is not accurate, but at least it has a wing. There has been reports of shorter final gear ratio for the 599XX Evo, it was used on Fiorano Test Track lap record of 1:15s.

I have added optional transmission ratio with higher final to replicate real life 599XX top speed 198mph limited by gearing when tested at Fiorano and posted 1:15s lap using higher final.

I tuned and tested this early build at Spa, Brands Hatch GP and Silverstone GP on comfort soft, sports soft and racing hard tires.

ENJOY

UPDATE : Added optional custom transmission to replicate real life top speed with higher final, 198mph/318kmh - gear limited.

Recently driven this car at Red Bull Ring on comfort soft to racing hard, much better than in pre 1.09 Please try it and let me know if the 599XX needs improvement

Notes :


The Ultimate Mercedes : SLR Mclaren tuned by RENNTech. Their motto : Performance Without Compromise. Each RENNTech SLR are special car tuned with extreme build quality and durability. The limited edition number of cars made sure the status of these cars are among the top echelon of exotics, commanding prices beyond mere mortal can afford. They are built not only for show, but they goes like racing car, street legal racing car to be precise.

Their early release is this SLR 722 GT, packing 670HP and 610ft torque, the SLR received decent power and torque bump, while weight has also been shaved for track purpose. The chassis received transformation in rigidity, with extensive enhancement by replacing many parts with carbon. Weight comes in at 1387kg and distribution at 49/51 based on review.

Suspension fitted by RENNTech is based on KW Suspension, featuring 3 way Racing Damper with matching springs. For spring rate, I decided to use stiff racing spec rate, at 1200 lb/in front and 1500lb/in rear, this is a club racer setup, with damper, ARB and camber tuned for best performance while maintaining good balance and feeling. I have provided 3 camber level setup, my personal choice is high camber

The 722 GT uses RENNTech built differential, a mechanical clutch type 2 way LSD with 70% lock on acceleration and 80% lock on coast/overrun. The transition is smooth, possible with optimized initial torque.

Gearing remains stock, but RENNTech has rebuilt the internals with RENNTech 722.6 5 Speed Transmission Upgrade KIT. Stronger clutch has been replicated with twin plate clutch, while the upgrades is reflected with the added carbon drive shaft, giving quicker shift times with better feel like in real life.

For appearance, the optional Aero Kit Type B is the closest to the real car, but the wheel offset is not possible, thus may give unfavorable look to some.

I tuned and tested at Tsukuba, Red Bull Ring, and Silverstone GP, from comfort soft to racing hard, the SLR 722 GT drives exceptionally well, Enjoy This one for you @ColinH96, sorry it has been long overdue

Awesome car! And I no idea that there were other variations as well. From my few minutes with the 'standard' 670 Hp car, I can tell that it handles pretty well, it does have some turn-in understeer, but I get that with almost every car in your garage, so it is just our conflicting driving styles. But it more than makes up for it in corner exit traction and really rockets out of the corners. I only made one little change and that was switching the Sports computor and Sports exhaust for a racing exhaust, it gives the exact same HP and Torque, but a much more 'racey' exhaust note. I don't have much time today, so ill try the others tomorrow. Overall 9/10, Great car.

 

[sayba2th]

Personally speaking, I love the detailed notes & pics in the one original post. The way the alerts work, it's a lot easier to keep track of & saves having to backtrack through pages.
My advice is don't rush perfection

I am with Pete on this Ridox, you are the most in depth tuner on GTP with the detailed notes. I love reading these and it adds a connection between the car, the tuner, the game and us the drivers. I am more than happy to wait (after all I am a GT kinda bloke and heaven knows we know all about that hahahaha) and prefer to get the proper goods Ridox. Make like INXS and don't change a thing Pleeeeeease! :-)

Will do one, this is of my favorite tunes of yours R, will add to my b tune as all my tunes are c tune so the original is there. Will test both and report back however it may be a few days now 1.12 has arrived and as my ps3 is on life support it only sees night duty when temps are down and humidity has subsided a bit

Notes :
The famous powerful MR2 GTS in the 90's, ZEEK tuned MR2 GTS packs a lot of punch, with 400PS/325 ft lb torque and lean body. The car was raced in Best Motoring Super Battle against Ferrari F40, Lamborghini Diablo, Venturi Challenge 400, RUF BR2, Porsche 964 RSR, Honda NA1 NSX R, and Nissan Skyline BNR32 GTR. I tried my best to replicate power and torque, suspension are the result of over 400km of test and tuning at various tracks ( Tsukuba, Bathurst, Brands Hatch GP, Big Willow ) Tune drives well on comfort soft, higher grip tires should work great.

IMPORTANT :

Never do sudden lift off the throttle in mid corner or entry Trail brake on entry with some throttle if the rear unsettled, precision and smooth steering is mandatory with this car. Get the steering, throttle and brake spot on, enjoy great entry, mid corner and exit speed. The car is tuned to glide out slow corner with almost neutral rear, throttle steer smoothly With that said, this car requires dedication and practice

UPDATE 1.04 : Fixed damper, toe and camber

 

[Otaliema]

Hey just wanted to say that your tunes are great, always fun, maybe not always my cup of tea for driving but they all force me to learn something while driving them that helps make me a better driver, and tuner. keep up the great work!

Notes :

The Audi R8 GT is the sportier version of the vanilla R8, with lighter weight and more power, it can be said that the R8 GT is like Superleggera version of the Lamborghini

The 1st release model year 2010 Audi R8 GT has 1525kg weight and weight distribution of 43/57, which is quite similar to it's close relative, Lamborghini Gallardo. Install window weight reduction for 2010 weight figure. The 2012 model year grows fatter with 1600kg, this setup do not use the window weight reduction.

The Audi R8 GT uses Eibach Springs, the front spring rate is known at 110N/mm or 628lb/in, ID 70mm and 200mm length based on a report from an owner who took a look at the spring markings, unfortunately no such information available for rear springs. I have to make an estimation on the rear springs by cross referencing Eibach ERS catalogue and decided on 120N/mm or 658lb/in spring. I taken into account the Gallardo stock spring rate ratio The chosen spring rate works very well for the car, and I tuned the damper to be firm, precise, yet easy to ride on the edge. The Audi R8 GT features sports manual adjustable coilover system with 10mm lower ride height than stock vanilla R8 as standard from factory. The R8 GT factory alignment also has higher base camber front and back at 1.5, with similar toe alignment as stock R8. I have also provided an optional suspension setup that uses stock R8 alignment values, feel free to try it.

The LSD is 2 way at the rear, similar in arrangement as Lamborghini Gallardo with mechanical locking differential at the rear axle that provides up to 25 percent lockup when accelerating and up to 40 percent on the overrun/coast. I have setup the LSD similarly to the Gallardo SL replica, and it works just as good.
I have no confirmation on the front LSD, the GT6 stock LSD has the front with some locking, so I decided to include an OPTIONAL LSD setup with 25% lock at the front axle ( 1 way ), this ensure good stability from mid corner to exit, good entry and overall tighter feeling.

The rear wing of the real R8 GT can't be replicated as there's no rear wing available in GT6 , but the fixed aero values makes that moot, the R8 GT replica has more than enough downforce to make it stays planted at high speed, one of the key differences the Gallardo SL replica

I tuned and tested the Audi R8 GT at Tsukuba, Red Bull Ring and Silverstone GP. It's a bit slower than the Gallardo SL at Red Bull Ring, lapping in 1:42s range.

Nice car,but more oversteer - only 0,3 s faster than stock R8 @ Madrid Full

It showed me that GT6 psychics are not perfect - How this 4WD is harder to drive without burning rear tires than some FR ?

It's a replica, most of the time will be harder to drive than stock GT6 setup that often wrong / unlike real life counterpart. Most of the time power + torque, spring rate, camber and toe, LSD, weight figure and distribution are wrong in GT6, some even include the gearing. The oversteer is correct for R8 GT, I've read articles about the car, even Audi states themselves, the added camber alignment, upgraded suspension was to allow controlled oversteer when all electronic aids disabled. Stock R8 in GT6 do not drive like an R8 at all IMO , too many things are wrong, from LSD, weight distribution ( affect handling ), camber and toe alignment ( 0.60 toe stock is not always correct, rarely road cars have 0.60 rear toe in , some Ferraris like F430 have 0.50 rear toe in from factory, but it was necessity to combat snap oversteer as the rear wheel gain toe out when loaded )

Try the R8 GT replica with 0.60 rear toe in, and you will have more stable rear / less oversteer.


I will also be releasing H&R R8 GT, the H&R suspension kit allows more neutral handling IRL.

Hey Ridox, if you wanted one car to be tested 1000 miles by someone else, which car would that be?
I might just do that.

Hey Ridox, if you wanted one car to be tested 1000 miles by someone else, which car would that be?
I might just do that.

Street or race car ? Maybe the Nissan GTR or Ferrari F40 or Honda NSX Type R '92

Hmm I'll take the F40 and drive it for 250 miles at Monza, Sierra and two tracks of your choice.
This will take some time though.

There are 3 version of Ferrari F40 replica, I choose this version

- The Auto Motorsport Mag 1989 version, please use the recently updated suspension setup ( Best Motoring ride height + stock spring ratio and no fuel weight figure + replica LSD 30/36/36 ) Mmmm. the 2 other tracks would be best at Red Bull Ring ( very enjoyable there ) and Suzuka.

Notes :
Ferrari F40, the last great Ferrari IMO, no electronics aids, just pure man and machine

This car is one of my most favorite ride in GT5 and GT6, and it's well known for it's inaccuracy in terms of stats and stock setup.

I made this special replica build with the main goal of correcting the mistakes and make it handle more like a Ferrari, whatever that means

First of all, there are 2 region market for Ferrari F40, Europe and US. Both has distinctive setup from power, weight to gearing.

The EU market has much lighter dry weight and comes with lift kit/variable ride height suspension system from factory, with lower final gear and slightly different 2nd and 5th gear

This replica is a representation of EU F40 with lift kit, EIBACH ERS springs installed and further based on specification from Auto Motorsport Magazine review back in February 1989. There are some differences to the earlier version replica I have built, mainly the weight, gearing and LSD. I have used LSD profile from F355, this time I have the correct data with 60% lock LSD. For gearing, the Auto Motorsport Mag version although uses different values, also achieved the exact speed/accceleration/top speed and rpm /speed figure on each gear as the other 2 version have posted. The other 2 replica earlier gearing was based on Ferrari owner's club and manual reports, while this one is based on magazine review.

The power of EU F40 from dyno reports with cat installed of 471HP / 478PS / 478CV with curb weight as measured and reported by Auto Motorsport Magazine = 1254kg / 2763.81 lbs and 39.2/60.8 weight distribution. This is curb weight with full fluids and full tank of fuel ( 120L ) - without driver. With a driver, the weight distribution will shift closer to 38/62.
Gross Vehicle Weight ( GVW ) as reported is 1430kg ( max operating weight with driver + passenger + cargo).

Some EU F40 do not have cats installed, usually the early years model, these non Cats F40 has been reported to have in excess of 500HP, some even dynoed with close to 520PS or 513HP.

To achieve the power figure of non cats EU F40, I decided to include 2 optional upgrades path, one uses high rpm range turbo kit and exhaust manifold, the other intake tuning and exhaust manifold. The specs are listed above.

For suspension, I have used EIBACH ERS springs at 8.25kg/mm front and 12.0kg/mm rear, maintaining spring ratio for the stock F40 spring rate, as the stock value can't be achieved. Damper setup for street and track, with ARB set for balance. Toe and camber has been setup with real world alignment values, based on F355 alignment which from report share similar alignment with F40 - closest information I can get

An alternate spring rate at 12kg/mm front and rear also provided, this is more oriented for high speed cornering and sweepers.

The real Ferrari F40 has ZF Self Locking LSD, based from Auto Motorsport review specs, the rear LSD has 60% lock, I have tuned likewise, with medium preload. The previous replica LSD which uses specs from Ferrari F355 with 45% lock and high preload also listed as optional.

The corrected EU F40 ratios and final based from the Auto Motorsport mag also able to replicate top speed of real F40 at 324kmh/201mph, furthermore, the rolling acceleration time and vehicle speed at 5th gear 1000rpm has been closely replicated - similar to the tested reports from the magazine.

Various test results from Auto Motorsport mag :

60kmh-100kmh in 4th gear rolling acceleration : 6.3s
80kmh-120kmh in 5th gear rolling acceleration : 8.5s
5th Gear speed at 1000 RPM : 43.5kmh

F40 speed on each gear at about 7400-7700rpm optimal shift point :
1st 90kmh
2nd 144kmh
3rd 201kmh
4th 255kmh
5th 321+kmh

Feel free to try it at SSR7

The F40 was extensively tuned/tested at Ascari, Tsukuba, Spa, Bathurst, Nordschleife, SSR7, Apricot Hill, Brands Hatch GP and Willow Springs.

I also managed to replicate the real life lap time of F40 at Tsukuba, done on Best Motoring at 1:03.73. The car easily do 1:02s comfort soft - slightly quicker than the US F40, as it should

Another real life at Suzuka record 2:25.27 in real life can easily be replicated. I managed 2:21.175s on 1st lap.


ENJOY

UPDATE : Added weight figure without fuel, calculated from 120L full tank with 0.711kg = 1 litre of fuel. Weight without fuel is at 1169kg, very close to 1170kg Weight distribution at 42/58 without fuel. I have also added new suspension setup based on stock factory Ferrari F40 spring rate ratio, this is the lowest / closest to stock value possible, this setup has ride height based on Best Motoring F40 Tsukuba Battle as driven by Gan-San aka Motoharu Kurosawa, the F40 won the race . Ride height at 81mm / 81mm, visually matched The F40 with no fuel and Best Motoring ride height + stock spring rate ratio, managed flat 1:42s at Red Bull Ring on Comfort Soft in 1st lap ( cold tires )

I have updated the replica

Sierra fuel economy:

Realistic driving style (100km/h speed limit): ~5 liter per lap (~18.5 liter/ 100 km)

Racing driving style: ~15 liter per lap (~55.5 liter/ 100 km)


The F40 is really fun at Sierra on Comfort Softs. The track is very fast and the car is somewhat predictable. It takes slow corners nicely and fast corners can be taken in a sort of power slide in a low angle. Countersteer and you are dead!

Braking is look-free until about 150km/h but there are many sharp corners that you approach at 250+km/h. It is however very stable while braking.


That's my summary of my first 170km at Sierra.

I'm using no aids at all and driving in an online lobby with real grip and tyre wear.


Next goal at Sierra is a sub 10-minute lap. That is an average speed of 162km/h! Rain will be used too in my next session. If you got any specific questions, feel free to ask me.

👍 That's dedicated driving, close to 10 laps ? Do you use wheel ? I read that the new FFB makes driving a bit dull Are these true for Logitech wheel ?

 

[ABP]

Nah, I am on a DS3 and had some time to kill.
Did about 7 laps, that is how long the track is (27km).

 

[danbojte]

...I read that the new FFB makes driving a bit dull Are these true for Logitech wheel ?

Not true, Orido.

 

[Ridox2JZGTE]

Not true, Orido.

That's a relieve, so wheel user now enjoys better FFB

This might be useful :

My experience of what each button does:
- FF Max Torque
this seems to linearly increase the gain on the actual force effects (steering weight while cornering, bumps, rumble strips)
- FF Sensitivity
This seems to add what PC sims call "damping" and "centering spring" combined. Using more than 2-3 of this setting causes oscillation on straights. So it smooths out the effects felt off bumps, gives the wheel some general "weight" to turning the wheel. Note: PC sims would have 3 separate sliders for this (filter, damping, center spring).

For the T500RS I ended up with:
- Max Torque of between 3-5 depending on the car and how much of a work out I wanted. A setting of 4 in a GT3 car was already pretty ferocious. 5 felt like plenty for drifting.
- Sensitivity of between 1-2 depending on whether I wanted a bit of damping. For FF cars the damping just feels odd so 1 was good. For something like a GT3 car it helps to smooth out the bumps so I was using 2.

One tip: don't immediately add FFS if you want heavier wheel weight, first try some fast tight corners, and see how the FFMT setting already generates heavy forces trying to return the wheel to center when such real forces exist. Effectively FFS is how much simulated power-assisted steering you want (1 being most assisted, 10 being least assisted).

Nah, I am on a DS3 and had some time to kill.
Did about 7 laps, that is how long the track is (27km).

I wish I have Sierra :/ Still stuck in 1.09

Notes :



This is one of rarest FF tuned in GT6

For this build, I used Silk Road RM/A8 coilover damper kit with 5kg/4kg spring package. Toyota VITZ factory alignment range has also been implemented. The coilover allows nice drop at 1 3/4" front and 2 3/4" rear, this gives nice stance and visually level appearance.

LSD uses TRD Helical Type 1 Way. I retained stock weight and distribution, but I fine tuned the balance via weight reduction and ballast to achieve closer to 62/38 of the real car. With only rear seats removal and spare tire in real life, weight shifted forward to 63/37.

As the real car and in GT6 is equipped with 175 wide tire and 14 inch diameter, comfort soft will struggle for traction with the amount of power and torque on 450PP, thus sports hard is highly recommended.

Gearing has been changed from CCVT to 5 Speed Manual, taken from Toyota VITZ RS Manual Ratio. The gearing is well balanced with enough top speed for medium speed track.

The VITZ F 450PP was tuned and tested at Red Bull Ring Short, Tsukuba, Nurburgring GP/D and Big Willlow. At Tsukuba, it can lap easy 1:06s on CS tire, not bad for a VITZ Not as quick as my J's Racing Honda FIT RS Turbo as the VITZ retains stock ratio 5 Speed




UPDATE : Added race alignment setup and some fixes to the toe values.

Notes :

This is one of the most challenging replica I ever made, even at the moment of posting, I'm still not satisfied with the handling

The car is based on Paul Cain built BMW 3002 TTii, a 2002 Turbo undergoing modern transformation.

First, the engine was swapped for bigger size with more power, more efficient, lighter and more advanced in technology. A Dual VANOS 6 Cylinder M54B30 engine from BMW 330i 2001 model. To make more power, yes, Mr Paul Cain craved for more power to humiliate the poor folks who look down on the old banger at the lights. He added 2 KKK turbocharger, a TT package that runs on mild boost of 6-8 Psi, but capable of producing 335HP at the wheel - that translate to 370+HP at the crank with 10% loss on the driveline He reckons that with lower compression, upgraded pistons, the M54 engine will spit out close to 485HP, possibly at the crank with 12 Psi boost

To accommodate that much power, the chassis, driveline and suspension needs some serious make over. The BMW received extensive weigh saving, chassis strengthening, custom wheel hubs, custom suspension linkages, custom sub frames, and special custom roll cage for safety and added rigidity. The real car wet weight ( no driver + full fluid ) at 2740lb / 1243kg. The BMW 3002 TTii has 8 US gallons fuel tank positioned at the rear axle ( half of original tank ), I have calculated weight at 1220kg without fuel and fluids. I also have included a variety of ballast + position. The car with driver and full fluids ( fuel and oil ) has 50.2% / 49.8% distribution, this is reflected in the ballast position of -4. Without driver, 1220kg, the distribution should shift rear ward at about 0.5%, reflected in ballast position of 2 ( 49/51 ).

The suspension is custom built by Jeff Ireland, employing Eibach Race Springs and custom valved Bilstein Damper all around. The spring rate is unknown, so I have to give my personal touch, with handling aimed at good balance, the real car is said to have almost no understeer / neutral turn in at low to medium speed. Ride height has also been visually replicated, with lower front to achieve level appearance like the real car.
I have tuned the damper and ARB to maintain balance on low speed, while medium speed needs good throttle control, while the real car has good handling even at higher speed. This is hard to achieve consistently, as the BMW 2002 Turbo in GT6 has stock skinny tires, while the real car has much wider 17" 7.5" wide front and 8.5" rear tires ( Michelin Pilot Sport ). Nevertheless, the replica should handle well on comfort soft with good throttle control

The transmission is another part that needs serious attention, a 5 speed Getrag 265 from E30 BMW M3 is used, with final drive at 3.710 taken from E34 BMW M5. The gearing is perfectly matched to the car engine, giving good acceleration and decent top speed. I have included 2 methods to achieve the ratio, both gives the same result, feel free to try them both and pick one that you prefer.

The LSD is torque sensing Quaife 1.5 way with 25% lock on preload taken from E34 BMW M5. The LSD is tuned to give stability on low to medium speed.

I have also provided a 450PP power figure spec, simply remove the high rpm turbo kit and adjust power limiter accordingly. I also highly recommend to fit sports hard or sports medium if you have hard time with throttle control.

The BMW 3002 TTii was tuned and tested at Tsukuba, Silverstone GP, Red Bull Ring, and SSR7 At Silverstone GP, with Comfort Soft tires, stock 4 speed, 370+HP, 1220kg, -4 ballast, it managed 2:30s A good time for such an old vintage car. I have included the replay for your enjoyment and reference, witness how smooth the BMW 3002 TTii carving the track something about old vintage look graciously eating up corners that never gets old.

Notes :

The Ford Focus ST 2013 is one of the car in GT6 that is a stat disaster , wrong weight distribution, torque figure, spring rate too high and broken gearing.

For this replica, I made a corrected version, not really perfect, but as close as possible replicating the real car.

The Ford Focus ST 2013 has 270lb-ft torque, while in GT6 stock value is too low, I have installed intake tuning to get closer at 267.8ft-lb. Power limiter used to get 252HP stock value. Now, onto the weight distribution, the real car has 60/40 distribution, GT6 once again wrong, so I installed weight reduction stage 2 and put some ballast at -50 to get the proper distribution. Curb weight officially at 3223lbs / 1462kg.

For suspension, the stock spring rate is too high in GT6, and the real life stock value can't be reached ( not low enough on GT6 ). I chose to use the spring ratio instead and set the lowest possible spring rate on GT6.
The real car has 30N/mm or 171lb/in spring rate at the front and 32N/mm or 183lb/in spring rate at the rear, based on Ford Official documentation, but when tested by well respected suspension company, the actual rates are =

Front : 29N/mm or 166lb/in
Rear : 31N/mm or 177lb/in

Slightly lower than official stats.

For GT6, I used 4.77kg/mm or 267lb/in spring rate at the front and 5.11kg/mm or 286lb/in spring rate at the rear. This retains stock spring rate ratio, and I have tuned the damper and ARB to maintain balance similar to real life review, nimble with surgical precision while still can bite back on the limit.

I have also used Ford factory alignment ( camber and toe ), the alignment value used is recommended value by ST experts, while for daily driving factory alignment range are as below ( OPTIONAL ) :

Front
Camber ( Driver Side ) : -0.83 +- 0.75
Camber ( Passenger Side ) : -0.93 +- 0.75
Total Toe In : 0.20 +- 0.20

Rear
Camber : -1.35 +- 0.75
Total Toe In : 0.38 +- 0.20

The overall range of values are similar, but the one used on this replica offers better performance at the track.

Gearbox is another one that needs fixing, the real car uses Getrag MMT6 with dual output shaft which result in 2 different final drive, 4.063 final drive for the 1st to 4th gear, while 5th and 6th uses 2.955.
GT6 incorrectly set the 5th and 6th, which result on overly long gearing and useless. I have set the 5th and 6th with calculated effective ratio when 4.063 is used instead, this will replicate real life vehicle speed at max engine speed on all gears from 1st to 6th.

For LSD, I have setup in conjunction with brake balance to achieve similar effect to real life electronic based LSD and torque vectoring as well as cornering understeer control. I have use low preload and medium lock rate to give some locking action which reduce inside wheel spin and give some stability on mid corner, while the rear bias brake balance will help to give illusion of brake based system at the rear axle.

The real Focus ST uses several electronic system in synergy to maintain handling balance under heavy cornering, there's no mechanical parts that acts like limited slip differential. First is the brake based LSD, which relies on traction control system to maintain traction by applying brake pressure on each front wheel to reduce understeer. The Enhanced Torque Vectoring Control and Cornering Understeer Control work hand in hand on both front and rear axle to maintain balance, encourage oversteer, apply inside and outside brake pressure according situation. With trail braking, the Focus ST can be easily shifted to oversteer on entry, up to certain degree. When the car is really pushed hard at track pace, the brake based system is proven not really reliable, often resulting in overheated brake after several hot laps. When this happens, heavy understeer will slowly creep in which will show the Focus ST true colors.

Here is a quote from Randy Pobst on his experience at hot lapping the Focus ST at Laguna Seca MotorTrend Best Driver's Car 2013 :

The hot-shoe's take: "It was enjoyable while it was drifting, but once something changed when everything got good and heated up, it became just an understeerer and it lost that terrific entry rotation that it had originally."

Several tests review also shown that after several laps, the Focus ST tend to lose it's charm and starts to understeer as the braking performance reduced due to heat build up in the system.

I mainly tested the car at Tsukuba, Big Willow and Laguna Seca. At Laguna Seca, it can easily lap in 1:48s on comfort medium. The Best Driver's Car lap record is 1:49.30, driven by Pro Driver Randy Pobst ( MotorTrend )



Below I also provided a picture with detailed gearing and speed stat for the Getrag MMT6 on the Focus ST 2013, and a replay of the run at Laguna Seca for comparison to Randy Pobst lap

Watch it, to find out the similarity and difference in cornering as well as speed at braking points. Drive the Focus ST replica at Big Willow and Laguna Seca and hopefully you'll find pleasure like I do.

UPDATE : Added optional LSD with low lock to better reflect non mechanical LSD of the real car.

Recommended setting for DS3 user :

Steering sensitivity at +1 or +2, all aids off, except ABS 1 ( if not comfortable with ABS 0 ) with 7/10 brake balance as starting point.

Notes :

The Yaris RS Turbo in this build is a mild modified setup at 400PP, utilizing TRD parts.
Weight distribution at 61/39 with some weight saving employed.

Suspension is based on TRD Street Pack Coilover with Fixed Rate Damper, the spring rate are quite soft but gives good natural balance, with stiffer roll bar to reduce body roll under extreme load.

LSD is based on TRD 1 Way Helical LSD, this ensure good stability and traction even at tight turns.

Gearing remains stock as I felt for the power and speed, the gear ratio spread is quite good with decent top speed. The Yaris RS Turbo TRD is best suited to low to medium speed track.

I tuned and tested at Tsukuba, Red Bull Ring Short, Nurburgring GP/D and Autumn Ring. At Tsukuba, with CM tire, the 400 PP Yaris RS Turbo can easily lap in 1:10s.

Had this bad boy built last month, GT500 and Super Snake, with various Shelby Options The GT500 is just as quick as Audi R8 GT if not quicker at Red Bull Ring on CS tire

Did you do the Shelby 1000?

Did you do the Shelby 1000?

Mmm, interesting, haven't tried to tune it to full power, long header + no cats = 1100HP IRL Let's see if I can find more info.

I tried that a couple of months ago, The GT500 in game goes to 1015 HP. Unfortunately Shelby keeps their cards close to their chest so there is no info on the suspension. So i just multiplied both spring rates by 1.5. It does handle pretty well, but is very 'lively' on SH, which i think are pretty close to the road tires.

The Shelby GT500 springs are very soft and not reachable in GT6 There's only one spring set that can be used, and it's an aftermarket springs by the same brand as Shelby used on their cars I'm guessing the Shelby 1000 will use similar springs, too stiff on live rear axle is bad IRL If the suspension on my replica can handle Super Snake on CS tire, it should handle 1000HP, besides the Super Snake has much higher torque spec if going by real life torque figure.

The real question is can the torque figure be replicated ? I doubt the GT500 can reach 1000HP with lower torque than 850HP Super Snake

At 1000HP, it has 922Lb-Ft, and i am using the normal Gt500's weight at 1747kg (@55/45) because I could not find any info on weight.

Edit: I also found a dark blue that gives black stripes, it is Interlagos Blau Metallic, from the BMW Z4 M Coupe '08. It is not an exact match but i think the black stripes make up for the difference.

Shelby documentation has 2014 GT500 and presumably Super Snake at 3845lbs - Super Snake has more lightweight parts to compensate for added weight from additional coolers, structural rigidity enhancement, power upgrade parts etc. Road test review by Road and Track says 3852lbs. Weight distribution is at 57/43 based on Shelby documentation, the Super Snake will be much closer to 58/42 with more parts added at the front ( coolers, bigger supercharger etc )

The Shelby 1000 only have 750lb-ft torque I also came across magazine article that states most Shelby Super Snake and 1000 weighs about 4000lbs - may include full tank of fuel Shelby 1000 uses specialized coilover kit with camber plates and adjustable dampers.

Found conflicting torque figure Some says 852lb-ft :/
