Do you think that you could do a realistic NASCAR tune for Indy. I know it's the opposite of what you do but can you get it to be loose like they are IRL, or is it not possible with what gt5 gives you. I've tried and the car is just too neutral.

Runs any line on track, prefers inside line.

892hp 1565kg
Aero: 50/70
Ballast: none
Trans: 230mph to 236mph

Dampers Ext.: 9/9

Camber: 1.1/0.9
Toe Angle: -0.45/ -0.40

This is the hot lap setup I posted. This tuning is real loose. And when I say hot laps, I mean it!! Like I was using this in online lobbies in this one series that was 10 lap shoot-outs for a prize car. And we were running 41's pushing. In an endurance race with taking a wide line this setup still gives you 30 laps at 43-44s/lap. The other tune listed is defintiely a lot stiffer but does give great advantage to its ever lasting tires, but is meant for a slower paced race where 44s/ avg. lap as everyone is trying to conserve tires to lap 40. But please try this and give me more feedback. Another way to make more realistic is to put on hard tires and drop the engine limiter to 505-605hp. You will be doing 48-49s/laps and the tires will feel just right around the turns. But thats more of a type of regulations used for online series, not general online lobbies.
 
Z06 Race Car Road Tune

Here's a great Z06 Race Car Road Tune!!!
I used it for 31 laps at Mazda Laguna Seca.
Only had to pit once and my lap times were headed towards 1:23.
Was nailing 1:24's consistantly.
JLawrence nails 1:22.3 with it!!!

I'll try it but I think I'll minimize the aero for more fun and closer to real life times thanks
 
^ No problem. Minimizing aero will definitely let this car feel a little rough in the corners. May I ask what is the goal for your setup? General Online Lobbies or just A-Spec with your own preference? Do you apply aids? I only use ABS on 1 & controller sensitivity on 2
 
i plan just to run A-spec with it and try to get realistic times out of it because most tunes are way too fast compared to real stock cars.
I don't use any aids, even abs, and for indy I have controller sensitivity at 0
 
kenkwilinski
Ok then, yes I would just limit the aero n limit the power. That should definitly give u more competition against the Ai

Good tune I used it as a baseline it handled too good for me though:lol: I had to tweak it to get it super loose. I maxed out the toe fr:1 r:-1 which really freed it up. it runs low 48's with hard tires min aero and only 4th gear. Most of all is a blast to drive. I can give you the rest of the tweaks if you want to try it out.

Sure please PM me the tune and I can post it all nice in here as a A-Spec tune after I test it tonite. And btw NASCAR's only have 4 gears:boggled: And thanks for the positive feedback!

Here is a great tune for this car at Daytona Superspeedway!
This tune holds the car on the track at full throttle without ever spinning out.
My only suggestion is to bump up the transmission top speed to hit 200mph (I will include my gear ratios shortly).
Props to 200MphFord & JLawrence @ The Vintage Tuning Garage for this one!!

I just hit a 41.494 solo At daytona with my NASCAR tune, averaged mid 41.550's to low 41.6s. After months of tuning.

I believe it man, my trans is set for racing. If I bump my trans down you can easily knock off tenths of a second. My intent of that tune was to say this is still fast n gets excellent tire wear. If I set my trans to 242 my lap times r definitly faster but doesn't carry enough top speed in a strong / racing draft of 249mph.

And good job at getting your lap times down that low. Not too many guys are pulling off mid 41's. You could shoot the tune over to me via PM if you want to. I wouldn't mind trying it out. No one has offered me a fast NASCAR tune. I have tried many of NASCAR tunes from other guys that claim to get 40 plus laps and I believe they do. But their settings never seemed to have worked for me. And now it's like I found these numbers for my tune and I can just apply them to about any FR car I try. But I wouldn't mind trying a fast setup if you would like to share.

Thanks to savage388 for this one. He had taken my tune as a baseline and loosened the car up a lot. This makes the car a bit slower but handles more realistic.
And makes for great competition in this A-Spec race!! 48 second laps seem to be the average with this NASCAR.
This car runs any line on track but prefers inside line. Enjoy the grinding for credits with this one!

Just looking at your latest tune the A-Spec@Indy and I'm wondering at the reason for the extreme toe angles? Not saying your doing it wrong because this is your specialty but can't you get the same results with much lower toe settings?

Edit: Never mind I can't read:D

There are a lot of tuning garages that tune this car. And lots of them are great. I am not saying mine are the best but somethings I have for this car are great. I have used my tunes in online lobbies. I have not tried my tunes for any A-Spec. For the Vintage Racing Cup or whatever that is called. The one with the races at Deep Forest and Cote d' Azur I used Kalmiya's Challenger Tuning Thread which is posted here:

For sure you can turn that down to achieve similiar results. This is an extremly loose tune that is fun to drive against the Ai. I wouldn't recommend it for online use.
 
Used your Indy Hot Lap Setup last night in the restrictor series - and obviously I liked it as I won the race :sly:

For feedback however (under 502 bhp conditions).

Driving at the back of the pack, it was soooo loose and 'drifty', and I barely managed to get 27 laps out of it as a result. But after the pitstop it became a different animal for me. Got together and was pushed pretty much for the rest of the 80 lap race, and this car moves, sticks and more importantly, wears very very evenly. I lapped after another 27 laps, but had at least 7-8 more before I neeeded to. So, with this setup, taking a racing line, this car loves to be pushed around all night long. Trick is, get to the front as it doesn't like drafting.

I did try the Endo setup in practice as well, and maybe it's just due to the hp limit, but span on lap 34 (where I got 40 out of the above setup), and with the rights completely worn.

Hope the feedback helps you dude :) 👍

Now I need one for Suzuka East next week :sly:
 
Try the road tune that Ken had linked earlier with a 3.850 final gear. It handles brilliantly, almost no wheel spin unless you hammer it in 1st gear.

EDIT: After some more testing on it I just ran a 47.220, with another half second easy to pick up. I don't know what a good time for you guys is on here, but I am usually about a second or two off the pace of someone else on Suzuka with my own setups, so maybe that'll be good for you?

Hey, just making sure you're talking about Suzuka East NASCAR 502bhp here, will test it tonight. Thanks guys 👍
 
Didn't limit the horsepower, but as long as you don't change the weight of the car that suspension set up should be perfect, and since you're knocking down the horsepower so much you could presumably set the initial torque 5-10 clicks lower, and the transmission to somewhere in the neighborhood of 175-180Mph

I don't use that exact tune at 502hp. I still get the great tire wear you are talking about with my variation of that tune for this power level. I use that tune as a base line and soften it up just a little and also go with almost no toe angles. End result is still the same but with a car that doesn't get too loose in draft. I will post those settings tomorrow for you to try out.

FORMULA GRAN TURISMO
a.k.a. - IndyCar

@ Indy Oval (Indy 500)

picture.php

38.7xx's laps with Racing Hards @ 239mph!!!
38.8xx's laps with Racing Softs @ 239mph!!!

Trans: Use default gears and set to 249mph with Top Speed reading 254mph top right. This is the solo run transmission setup.
Don't use for racing, just to put down a fast solo lap!

For Racing: You will loose a few seconds (2sec avg. with a racing tuned trans for drafting) if driving solo so I have found the optimal gearing that allows for major drafting in-race and only 1 second slower solo. So the goal to driving this car in-race is to drive with 1 or 2 people and keep slingshooting the straights and the corners (if you dare). This gearing will allow the car to max at 280mph in a very very strong draft. The key to making the most out of this car was loosening it up but not too much to loose handling and second important was just the right gearing.
Note that these transmission settings will work as well at Daytona Oval too.

Adjust gear ratios as follows (racing):
reset to Default
Then Top Speed: 280mph
Final Gear: 4.340
1st: 6.534
2nd: 4.169
3rd: 2.952
4th: 2.182
5th: 1.695
6th: 1.372
7th: 1.164

This tune is fast & will give you 40+ laps in-race. Fuel burns out before tires!!
And Racing Hard & Soft Compounds both work very well.
The softs feel stickier and prefer an inside line.
And the hards just feel more smooth and rolls the car into the turns great.
I would say if you were racing in a random chaotic online lobby then use the softs.
But if you were in a lounge with buddies who can drive throw on the hards.

Aero: 40/55
Ballast: none
LSD: 60/60/05
Ride Height: 10/10 (MAX)
Springs: 20/20
Dampers Ext.: 8/8
Dampers Comp.: 8/8
Anti-Roll Bars: 4/4
Camber: 0.0/0.0
Toe Angle: 0.0/0.0
Brakes: 5/3



@ Daytona Oval

First read all the Indy Oval tuning dialogue above!!

38.1xx's laps with Softs & Hards (No difference other than handling.)

Aero: 40/55
Ballast: none
LSD: 60/60/05
Ride Height: 10/10 (MAX)
Springs: 20/20
Dampers Ext.: 10/10
Dampers Comp.: 10/10
Anti-Roll Bars: 1/1
Camber: 4.0/4.0
Toe Angle: 0.0/0.0
Brakes: 5/3

Be sure to scroll down to see the starting grid posted with qualifying lap times. This will verify these lap times are stupid fast!!​
