It was very enjoyable that NO-TUNE challenge, due to the car and track combination but also that no hiding was involved, but back to my old ways now :mischievous:.

I did a couple of laps for the new invitational for the sample picture and I wasn't game to turn TC off.
RUF + CS tyres + TC 0 = :banghead:.
should be fun though.
 
No tune TT.

Catch 22

Here is my run and i take it on the safe side , take it " slow" and pass them all.


Don't remember what tyres was on , perhaps intermediate rain cause every time i play it for the first time PD was changing my tyres to rain ones .
Hugh was like a typhoon at this one.
Grate job you guys ,ill tell my mam when i grow up ,i wanna be like you .
Except the beers that Paddy drink :lol: and also i won't scare people as Hugh does .

The rain tire was never developed to do it's job and why I never use them. Year's ago a guy who worked on the GT 6 told me so when we meet in Las Vegas, Nevada. He said to always use a soft tire in the rain. He was there for a NASCAR race and honeymoon from Japan.

I knew it since we did talk about it some months ago but didn't bother to change them that time .
It was the first run and didn't change them , and as i wrote at previous post i was significant faster on RS tyres.
The " job" is done anyway and that pleases me 100%.
Also i have the pleasure for the first entry at this swimming lesson :lol:


Looking forward for the next step .

You would have done great if it was not for the 4 wheels off and I "blame the rain tires" not you good buddy for that!!
 
48./NO TUNE
I wanted a lap below 67.7 s and for a while I was a bit over 2 tenths over that (as seen in the second image). Maybe my subconscious is making me learn stuff first. Not sure if a little bit of extreme handbrake is useful in the last downhill right, I mean just before the left. Even then possibly only with a wheel, as the steering has at least 900 degrees of l2l. :/
But the final "S" was at least a few hundredths slower than the ghost, as the last sector was even worse.

I did some test today both challenges , 1.09 and 1.37 but at the second one takes a lot of improve since i had to learn the track.
By the way when you talking about differential gearing at RUF you mean the LCD ?
I thought it would be way worst on CS tyres ,but wasn't so bad .
Its fun and at both challenges need to take advantage of the slide to put the car quick in the right direction.

LSD
 
I wanted to try nascars but throttle and now brake got applied all the time without my input so it's impossible to drive like that unfortunately.. I'll open up padles on weekend to try to fix it, if I can't Im pretty much done here.. I can do some races with controller but you need to create div3 for my controller skills haha
However I did one lap without brake input, it wasn't a great lap but what can I do..

I think you can find something on YouTube that will help you with the throttle and the pedal. I saw it a couple years ago and used it to fix my brake and pedal and it worked but I’m not in a position to pick it up for you because I do not remember how I found it.
