Great times posted guys 👍

@blitz911 ,
@Seve212 provided a great resource with that video. If you haven’t already done so, using one of Turbodatsun’s R92CP tunes should be really helpful, they have evolved over time. In addition to the one (I believe is displayed) in that race there are other iterations that can be found on the first page of this thread. My 2nd post (below the leaderboards) has a list of tunes I’ve been compiling from various posts throughout this thread. I listed Turbo’s tunes from the first he posted to the most current ie v4, v5 & v6.
The newer ones sacrifice power to use RS tires making higher fuel maps unnecessary.
There are a couple members here (I believe
@tmtk ) that have been quite successful with Auto Trans but switching to manual will definitely lower your times, some cars more than others.
There have been a number of discussions about it in this and other threads. I brought it up a short while back here to make just a few points of the benefits

@sartori and other members. Here are some more of the tunes Larzi shared awhile back that I have not finished consolidating yet. It’s a project I started that still has a lot of work left. Page 12 of this thread has a number of car tunes, including the GR010 and Larzi’s strategy. As mentioned above, they can also be accessed from a list on the 2nd post of page 1
He has info for the following Cars that can be found at the link below (not the page 12):
919 Hybrid ‘19 (Gr.1)
Toyota Gr010 ‘21 (Gr.1)
Lexus RC-F GT500 ‘16 (Gr.2)

EDIT: I wrote this before noticing Larzi already replied. Follow wherever he directed. Just note above for future reference 👍

@Larzi-
Nice times and tunes with both the LM55 and L750R. Similar to your experience, the more cars I’ve examined the more rampant glitchy-ness is apparent.
I tried a modified version of your tune for the LM55 and right out the gate got a 23:47. Obviously there was a lot of room for improvement as I made a number of errors. However it shows thats it easily a sub 24, even with plenty of mistakes.
Regarding the L750R… few things.
So, you fulfilled my prediction from back in June about it’s performance, lol, actually even faster by a few seconds, I was thinking low teens.
…. I’m confident
it’s currently the fastest car at Sardegna, behind only the Escudo & Group C options.
I made several different tunes …
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…. 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 I will end up in the teens if no mistakes are made.

Regarding fuel, I had a couple thoughts. Have you tried making 6th gear a LONG overdrive? I know this may sound a little crazy but sometimes after reaching target speed on the 2 straights I’ll throw into a LOW RPM 6th gear (may be ~425kph depending on setup), and on the straight after T15 turn sometimes I’ll turn the fuel map down to 6 until brake time for T1 (again after reaching target speed for finish line).
Also, I’m not sure if you tried any tunes with slightly lower power but you may be able to save another 5 seconds from not changing tires if the fronts are burned less… Could also try a rear ballast tune, however, not sure if you’re not already holding on to them for the last stretch.
