Speaking of which....

Ford GT 05

I might have stumbled upon a technique that gt6 physics likes much the way we figured out what worked best with gt5 suspension physics. It's just a theory at the moment. Something no one else has mentioned. Discovered while tinkering around with my rx7. My theory needs more testing out with other rwd cars to know whether it holds water or not and needs testing on more than one car, typically rwd type drivetrains. We need to test it on other rwd cars. I wonder if anyone else possibly has a clue what I'm talking about here... :)

All my rwd suspensions are same, max ride height. Hard rear, soft front, all dampers and roll on 1. 4.0+ camber front, 0 rear. - 1.00 toe front and - 0.25 rear

What I discovered worked on an rx7. Typically it's the dampers, rear toe and certain amount of front camber, testing using auto gearbox proved to shave off more than a few .001's. I need to test the different parts of the suspension individually with auto gear to determine how much time is shaved off.

Basically as we all know GT5 physics worked in such a way that each drive train type had a specific configuration that worked for most cars with that drivetrain with small exceptions for certain cars.

Well GT6 seems to adopt some of the certain physics suspension setting principles from GT5 but it appears to bring differences unique to GT6. And @levitt1991. Your right with the camber but everything else is different to what you are using.

Shoot, sorry wraith, I just saw your messaget now. I'll test In a few minutes and answer your pm in a while. Sorry.

Meanwhile....somewhere in the 05 GT

Wing doesn't help I just happened to have it on when time was made. But other things helped.

This car needs some specific suspension settings, camber and toe setup to get the most out of its drivetrain.

Thanks to Mikey 👍 yesterday who in collaborative effort helped me validate my theory with various settings with successive results.

Man all these fast 05 GT's and I'm over here still with 8.086. Guess I'll have to mess with the suspension or something like you said. Good job on the new time.:bowdown:

I'll have to get back onto mine, not sure I'll match your time because tbh, I know it's fast and that's all I care about. I prefer to use these leader boards as guidelines rather than going for the best time. 8.084 is a very nice time though

Thanks. Working on the 06 now and don't worry... your time is safe for now :). I found that the 06 doesn't have any special rear springs configuration which it prefers which the 05 does, but toe, well that's a different story. The 06 has an imbalance on weight distribution and is too front heavy. It's why it's slower than the 05 model. My original tune with tweaks is already running 8:123

Nice, my 8.112 can still be improved with a little suspension tweaks. :lol:. The 06 is my baby and I will put as much time as needed to stay #1 or #2.:D:tup:

I have a few tunes where my leaderboard tune will be worse than my original Indy tune online and .002 will make absolutely no difference in a lobby...I like to think of leaderboard tuning like little puzzles...something different to enjoy.
