The engine swapped Focus handles pretty good with the non-swap tune by Praiano. Might need some downforce and power tweaking to make it work but I was able to do a no stop race with it. The fuel lasts exactly to the finish line on FM1
I tried the focus too today, tuned it down to 600 with SH, ECU and Power Restrictor. I also made a no stop Race but with a mix of FM2 and 3, wouldn't have been enough on FM1. And my Gearbox was not good. Could still win by 20s.
I got loads from the Bonanza, but haven't had any of the "new" ones since then. I think I still have 15 Coyote engines I've not even bothered with that swap!Where do you get all those engines?
I got a 6* Ticket from daily driving yesterday, which is really rare... and only got money.
Is this on hard difficulty, and do you wall ride? I'm not the fastest, but I'm consistantly 4-5sec slower per lap then you, with no wallriding. Maybe I just need to git gud@Zorz
Well it seems to me that the fastest result comes from combining our tune philosophies.
27:02 and Fastest Lap!!!

As per your tune, the Low rpm Turbo accelerates faster than my High rpm Turbo, but then it fails to deliver top end speed on the straight, and it consumes fuel trying. So the logical compromise is the Medium rpm Turbo.
Accordingly I extended the gear ratios (from my previous tune) to utilise the mid-rpm power, and adopted your idea of compromising on the breaks to achieve the PP requirement.
Strangely I found the handling worse, but possibly that's due to slightly higher corner speeds, or poor brakes. It essentially doesn't require any fuel saving strategy, but I did lean the mix and/or short shift, when in slipstream), just in case.
Again the limitation is the front tyre wear and the entire last lap was run with fully depleted tyres.
It turns out to be a fun grind, and I almost lapped Gentry in the Viper.

I might have just been really lucky, I only had one each of the Escudo and GT-R GT500 engines. I can't remember now what tickets they came from, there might have been an engine ticket for one of the "collect 3 cars" things?Where do you get all those engines?

The DB5 should NEVER wear a wing. That would just look plain wrong. Sacrilege! But if it can win the race wearing one, then I'll let it pass as long as I don't have to see it...Bond....... James Bond (I actually said that out loud a couple of times 👀 with a Sean Connery accent
I Tried a couple of times without the wing but that rear end is just too loose to keep under control with my current driving skills. I Fitted the wing and the added down force makes a huge difference. I Still didn't win it first time but barely made it on the second go. The car looks fugly with the wing so the pic is from one of the wing less attempts.
A Pretty big chunk of GT7 is a joke but it still keeps me entertained
No wall riding for me, the physics are unbearable and it seems pointless when a clean win takes only slightly longer. I think it's set to Easy, but doesn't make much difference. Hard is maybe 10-15 seconds faster but it's pretty random.Is this on hard difficulty, and do you wall ride? I'm not the fastest, but I'm consistantly 4-5sec slower per lap then you, with no wallriding. Maybe I just need to git gud
Was just messing about on the pad, need to try it on the wheel as I am considerably faster there. Using manual and only ABS, same as on the wheel.
I dont think the easy/normal/hard settings make a difference on this race. I tried normal and hard settings, ran a 24.2xx race times and lapped everyone at the same time and had the same MOV each time. I saw zero difference between the 2 settings.
What's "MOV"??
Some of them are on Softs, so they pit twice. If you're using a no-stop strategy you gain 50 seconds on them so if you can lap under 2:15 you should get the win... Note for regular cars your 1st lap is usually around 2:30, then improves as the track dries. Have a look at the lap times posted in the many screen shots in this thread
Thanks! I haven't yet gotten past lap 4-5 or so because I'm so far down but knowing they're likely to stop more than once gives me an idea. I've got a WRX GR.4 downtuned to 599.99PP running Inters. If I short shift and run fuel map 2 for a lap or two I gain enough fuel usage to not stop, and I can lap in the 2:18s or so with it. Might give that a whirl tomorrow and just play it out to see what happens. If I get the win great and if not I'll have a better idea moving forward what I can use.
Gr. 4 cars can run well even on Sports Hards. I use them with no stops on Fuel Map 1.
Tokyo is a marathon for most cars. You need to have a race time < 27:50 to win, thats 1670 seconds, if you do a 2:40 starting lap, you have 1510 seconds left for 11 laps, thats 2:17. So 2:18 might be really close, sometimes AI is slower though.
I ran the Bugatti Veyron Gr.4 last night for a test, stock power with SH tyres fitted to drop below 600PP. First lap was 2:34. Second lap was 2:20. Each lap thereafter dropped slightly for the next 5 laps or so until I was running steady 2:17 laps. Even with a no-stop, Kokubun managed to get past me and win by about 6s. So I went to GT Auto, slapped on a High RPM turbo and it came to 597PP with about 100hp more than previously. In the race my first lap was down to 2:32 (traffic induced, mostly), but already on the second lap I'd knocked over 3s off my previous attempt. My best lap was a 2:13ish and most laps were in the 14's. Again, no-stop race and managed to win by over 26s running a 27:20 race time.
Most Gr4 cars are great for this,i add manual custom trans not racing,SH`s not IM`s and add a turbo then mess with ballast and power to get 600pp.The reason i add manual and not racing trans is racing adds too much pp,manual tends to drop it but doesnt shift quite as quick,its horses for courses really.The NSX Gr4 was one of the first cars i tried on Tokyo,i can do non stop on FM1,just mess with the trans to get a good top speed,dont try and win the race on the first lap.Im nowhere as fast as some people on here but with a gr4 i can catch Gallo by lap 3 but not always able to pass him until he pits on lap 5 or 6,then just pace myself.
I have yet to buy and try the MP4-12C but I'm looking forward to using your tune for it!
I wouldnt call it a`tune`as such,i added a high rpm turbo,race silencer,race pads and custom manual transmission.i added a little ballast to make the 600pp.If i remember its around 630hp,i do FM1 on the straight then FM6 through the twistys,pit for fuel at the end of lap 7 or 8,your choice.Someone with a bit of tuning knowledge could make this a lot faster but its a win for me as it is,either with custom or stock suspension its good out of the box.I also think its better value than the F1,until pd nerf it.lol
