Are you talking about the school challenge?

Are you talking about the school challenge?

nope, in this case I refer to the NO TUNE, the race with the caterham, the school I do not run for two things, the first is that I have no patience and I touch me a lot with opponents, and the second is too cumbersome to record the entire race and then have to upload it to youtube

Patience is a virtue for race car driver's in auto racing. Clean racing could open up a whole new GT6 for you super good buddy if you just give it a try.

I only play it once with KTM inside and you can't win this, don't know with other cars .
Just spend some time in big car small track yesterday .
My time is 🤬

School has a generally speaking odd track, but I know it well. I am not hating the car so here's what - "additions" in italics:
Rear wing (20 force)
Sports soft tyres, opponents have hard instead.
Fully customisable suspension
90 88
3.55 1.70
1 1
1 1
3
3
0 0
0 0.25
Racing brake kit 3 3
Fully customisable transmission: I never got around to adjust this actually, after initially setting max speed 260 km/h.
LSD 9 16 16
Triple plate clutch kit
E. stage 3, sports computer, racing exh., isometric exh. manifold, catalytic converter sports, intake tuning, mid RPM turbo
Weight reduction stage 3, carbon bonnet, window weight reduction.

--

No tune/87.
4:52.46
This thing resembles what I imagine two wheel machines are like when you ask too much from the rear grip device. Also, the opponents ramming you is a major issue (as it should be on one hand, but on the other you might expect more from them)!

I found that despite it seems to be going nicely at first, I need to lift just a little in the last turn, reason already given. Winning car seemed to slow down only for the last two sectors, like that's a meaningful benefit.

Big Car, Small Track
25.772
For this, I lowered force feedback torque from 5 to 4 (future me, mark my words). Downforce 765 & 1000.

Fantastic read and great job in identifying all of the issues!!

Sorry guys but my time with Lotus is invalid ....... I use RS tyres instead of RH
I was remembering " tune any " but when i saw Saint's time caught by surprise so i check it and .

By the way the only power add on at school Fiat was semi racing exhaust plus change oil.
Didn't even try on more power cause at that power range was very enjoyable and strong enough to avoid rear bumper contacts .
Was on 441 pp 242 hp ,SS tyres and only ABS 1 .

Sorry I'm late guys, didn't have a phone for 4 days.

@smoothbore12 I think @FlowSadico should run this challenge using a DS3, racing brakes and the [] button are not compatible.

tell me about it .
I only run this once for the hell of it and from what i remember i run using MT gears using only 2on and 3rd which was at hell of a length also .
Ill try it again with proper tyres but is inevitable to be far from competition using ds3 pad and buttons for everything .
On the other hand at no tune was quite the opposite except that you have to use manual gears to achieve something fast .
Going uphill on 2nd gear is very obvious that you loose time waiting to load .
I race this once but i had some free run laps first to get the feeling and learn the behaviour of the moto- car.

 

[Thematic]

Rotating paddles at GT Arena is not an immediate, say, smash hit, either.

 

[RMan72]

Tip on that corner is slow enough so it drops to 1st gear, the time you lose doing that is more than made up for in the increased acceleration

💡 good idea Hugh.

Finally the next time for Lotus was .....today ( its short ,very quick and can't bust your 🤬 )
Anyway after adding some weight on rear and some gearing settings this what it is .

And how is done

 

[smoothbore12]

Not much action .....
As for me i just send my roadster time which am quite pleased since my lapping times except first are between half second the faster from slower .
Next couple of days no tune will follow .
I play it once last week but can't remember the time if was quicker or lower than Saint's .
Hayabusa ( i guess ) its desperate to win this thats why he didn't load a time ,
Don't know with other cars but with KTM inside its impossible for us ....... The poor relatives of div one .

Kisses ......ill be back

THE HUB 87 CATERHAM.
smoothbore, tried and failed in a resounding way, I tried to try with different grills of opponents and it was impossible to hunt the first place, so for the moment we will fight with our own time hehehe

INVITATIONAL #1 LOTUS 97T

Since there's not TC and ABS on this try manual gears .
I move the slider on gear box to be high enough and i use only one gear ( 3rd ) for all the track except final corner where i put 4 th .
Otherwise its spin city ,
Might look that you're going slow since the car move on very low rpm but timer will reward you.
My vid from outside is full of smoke even that way and i spin multiple times ,using AT gearing is impossible to do a lap no matter what .

 

[RMan72]

It can be done but it isn't easy

Might try manual if I get time

I will try in manual mode, the truth is I always use the automatic box, this car has a lot of turbo lag, and it enters suddenly

 

[bjl23]

Am I the only one that uses manual?

 

[skeagracing]

Am I the only one that uses manual?

I do not use manual as I have no clue what to do with it LOL. All my cars are either Manual or Paddle Shifter.

 

[Thematic]

Am I the only one that uses manual?

In case you are taking into account my recent comment about the shifters: no, I don't "auto" on anything that has gears in game. I have no idea whether I would have been able to do a similar lap with such a setting on.

ROUND 87 - RACE CAR ROUND

The little Caterham can win

The little Caterham can win

Yes he can ( my line up with rocket was at 4.32 )

I try it 3 times with the same field but wasn't the same opponents every time fast.
I almost loose it at my fastest run above ( others was at 43s ) and that cost me enough i guess but can win .
My first run - first field with rocket and Veyron i was 3rd on 43s also .

Played for a whole hour this morning just doing the no-tune challenge and trying to knock off the rust, and I gotta say
