supra f1 settings

[hks2835_supra]

this may be a silly question, but would setting up a supra like an F1 car make it handle any better? the only thing i would change is to soften up the rear to compensate for the front-engine's weight. any suggestions? ps the car has 1052 hp, i was thinking of installing a stage 3. would this improve acceleration for shorter tracks since the lag would be lower? also it would keep the rear end where i want it when acceerating. any other suggestions would be great. thanks

The best answer is "maybe".

Set-ups have a funny way of not being the same, person-to-person, track-to-track and car-to-car. I would be almost certain that setting a 1500kg FR car to the same settings as a 500kg MR car would not be beneficial to me. But that's not totally certain - and may apply ONLY to me.

Lag is a non-starter in GT3. Put as much power on as you can. But beware the corners... Too much power and you'll be approaching a hell of a lot quicker than you think (which is why most people hate the RGT - they just can't drive it).

im wondering what would be the absolute best setup for a track such as laguna seca. and also, some tips for tuning it for tracks like midfield, apricot hill, and grand valley. also where can you get that hybrid builder program and how much does it cost?

Again - what's the absolute best set-up for one person's car may not be the same for anyone else's car, even if it's exactly the same car...

If you go to my site - http://fly.to/fmax, there's a "beginner's" settings guide, the "hybrid-building programme" to which you refer (and it's free) and a guide on how to use that - you'll need to buy an Xport/Sharkport in order to use the programme though. They're about £18 online.

i tried settings similar to F1 on the Supra and found the car turns much better with a slight oversteer that suits my style more. This was used on Laguna Seca.

i dont pump my supra up to that much horses and keep it relative to 500-600 hp. yes, you can try to soften up the rear (or go stiffer in the front) for more weight transfer to the rear. but the most important adjustment i made was to the front and rear toes. i generally like a bit of toe out in the front to give me more aggressive turn-in for the beginning of a turn. I also use the car defying toe out in the rear so that the rear of the car is unstable and swings around corners more.
