I mentioned in a previous post that tuning the L750R was an inherently glitchy process, with numerous combinations granting extra pp to work with for reduced “Rotational G’s”. I created a variety of different tunes which testing revealed all performed quite well; so much in fact, I’m confident
it’s currently the fastest car at Sardegna, behind only the Escudo & Group C options.
It’s important to note that even the most successful combinations
are not remotely close to “full on” glitches we’ve seen in past updates, like the ridiculous Apline A220; they’re not even in the same league. For those not familiar, these past glitches were very specific in nature and allowed a ~740pp car to race at 600pp events Every aspect of the tunes (including anything attached to the car) had one “solution” that had to be exact. Even
downgrading tires would deactivate the glitch, causing the pp level to skyrocket back up ~150 points! When all was said and done, the “Rotational G” would dip astonishing amounts, from ~1.35 to <.80 to provide the otherwise impossibly low pp level
At best, changes to the L750R are only enough to place it somewhere between other contemporary Gr.1’s and the Classics, leaving 6 cars at the same pp level much faster. While it may aid over original performance (whatever that is), it does
not provide an advantage above/beyond the competition that would make it feel like a true glitch that doesn’t belong in the race.
I made several different tunes and included the two I tried in the event below to share, one with RH’s and one with RM’s. They were all capable of laps in the low-mid 1:30’s in TT with event settings on so race times should be able to get to the 23 teens. I only brought out each tune once, and even with mistakes, they were fast races. Both tunes come with options for short and longer 1st gears and were done with Controller, not a wheel. I 100% sure the suspension/LCD can be improved upon by others, possibly lowering the time to break 1:30, I just found a starting point to work with.
Again, these were my first races out with both of them, not my best work. I had traffic in some unfortunate places as well causing a couple pretty rough laps. Shouldn’t be difficult to get 23:20’s and I’m sure will end up in the teens if no mistakes are made.
Hope this helps someone, if anyone has questions just ask.
Enjoy!
- RM Tune: I used the Longer 1st gear option. Amazingly short breaking, grip and very responsive. Requires changeout after 7 or 8 laps
- RH Tune: I used the Longer 1st gear option. Good braking, grip and acceleration. The ballast is in rear for grip and to help the rear tires slide for turns. I did the 15 laps on the same tires, which saves 5 seconds or so. They could be changed out depending on preference.
Both Tunes: I reserve 6th gear and sometimes 5th as an “overdrive” to save on fuel, using it after reaching desired speeds in each section. Sometimes I’ll rev 1st and 2nd gear near the top but not the others, there’s gobs of torque and usually not necessary. Should be able to get a handle on gear changes and fuel consumption pretty easily. FM1 for the whole race.
RH Tune was the 23:37 & RM was the 23:39
