Times got much better again and the best car car is the Mazda 787B like before 1.49. I just did one run. A 22:33 is for sure possible and 1:26 laptimes aswell. Before 1.55 I did 22:52 with the R92C

Wow i cant believe the 787b is still that fast ill have to give it a try. What do you do with the gearing?

 

[ZZ-II]

I barely reach 1:36 lap times with my 787B 🤣. But i use a controller to be true.

 

[Grubem]

I dont change anything at the gearing, that was always the best for me.

I drive with a controller aswell ZZ-ll

 

[ZZ-II]

That‘s amazing! I also use Raching Hard and just recuced the power. No settings changed except the Transmission a bit.

I had a quick go at the 787b and yes it is faster then the other group c cars. This is my best time so far in time trial mode. Didn’t get time to use it in the race yet, thanks for the setup @Grubem

I did a 1:26.812 in time trial. Looking forward to your race time.

Well there you go 787b is much faster.
Don't think i can go much faster it was a pretty clean run stoping on lap 8 for tyres and fuel. Thanks for the tune @Grubem

Might just be me but it seems like the physics have changed slightly but also i think the ai are faster then before since the new patch

Turbo, any chance you can drop a video of your fastest 787B lap? I've been trying to cut my times down but I'm struggling to go faster than 1.28.5 with a real good lap. Thanks.

Yeah i should be able to, although i cant match @Grubem times he is godly fast in it and he also uses a controller which is super impressive. 🤯🏎️

Would be much appreciated. I'm also sure we can guilt grubem into posting his too .

 

[Grubem]

I posted my replay on my GT7 profile. Would like to improve before posting to YT tho

New pb, thrown away a 1:26.5. Figured out a new best wind direction that makes a big difference. 22:29 should be possible with a perfect run.

 

[Wilsonson]

What direction is it? And how do you change it? Do you just reload until you have the direction you want?

Arrow pointing down. I reload till its the right direction

 

[etched Chaos]

Man, seeing you in the 1.26's for laps still befuddles me. I managed to get my pb down to a 1.28.2 and that's my limit.

Try the setup i posted here but with race medium little less power and transmission on 370. 1:26.7 is the best i‘ve done but in that race i messed up a 1:26.5

I'm using the same tune (with mediums and less power), only with the tweaked gearing that Turbo ran with the Nissan way back when. I'll try it with the transmission settings 'reset' and set to 370 to see what I can do. Though my BC is set to 3, is that slowing me down?

You mean tc? Tc1 is ok but 3 is too much

Brake Controller. I usually have my TC at 2 for what me and my buddy call the snake (the left, right before the run-up to the castle) to keep my rear planted.

 

[Grubem]

Idk what brake controller is.

Another improvement, not too fast bit very consistent. Very close to the sub 22:30

Brake Controller is brake balance, so I have it set 3 to the rear.

Brake balance helps with tyre wear and trail braking. I have it on 0 but everything you prefer is good
