Well, I was going to try Amo's tune for the Nascar later today but I guess there isn't much point now

Not unless there's a car where the power points have decreased significantly in 2.11... if no car's power points have increased they won't stand a chance of beating the Eunos.
My understanding is that power points have only decreased.

I always postpone things...
thought i would try the eunos with stotty's tune today...
I should have heard my grandpa's advice...
now playing around with a 205 turbo 16 '85, think i can do a 1:08 with it...
actually were back to 2.09 pp algo according to https://www.gtplanet.net/gran-turismo-5-update-2-11-now-available-restores-performance-point-values/ , so I guess you're right

O well. It was pretty fun in the Mazda.

I really enjoyed both these TT's and I managed to finish a respectable 14th in the NASCAR and 18th in the Eunos (assuming everything ends as is)... happy with both results, but I really would like a top 10 at some stage!
Looking forward to seeing what Thursday brings as new ones.

Although this is a pretty dumb move by PD I'm not too disappointed because I wasn't going to get another opportunity to have a go at these and I've pretty much reached my skill limit anyway, so it's stopped my relentless slide down the leaderboards. Thanks to Stotty for the tunes and ripping_silk for the superbly maintained OP. It's been fun.

thanks for nascar tune Stotty, is fantastic and last night i managed a 2.11.801 for 7th place...
thanks again m8
Nice results you 2 👍
And thanks for the tunes again Chris 👍
I finally got the Spa feeling and was up for a low 12 twice last night. Wanted to try it again tonight. Till PD screwed things up. They are so smart with producing this game and the Academy and stuff. But where is logic sense with panning a up date that consider the PP system while we are running a TT
Well ended up (if nothing change)
P40 at Tusukba
P52 at Spa
See you guys at #56

I bought my ps3 less than a month ago and I really regret not buying one in the first place instead of buying xboxs

thank you very much m8...
Well driven guys. I ended 858th at SPA, pretty sure 1st or 2nd in country, so pretty proud of that as this was only my 2nd TT and a massive improvement over my 3000th plus place on the Vette TT. Looking forward to the next one, hoping for a top 100. Thanks all for the tuning tips, ended up with a mixture of settings that worked pretty well.

You're all welcome on the tune front... hoping I can pull another good one out of the bag next TT
And good shout on Ripping_Silk... great work on the 1st page 👍
Cheers Stotty, and thanks to others that have extended their appreciation and advice on OP.
Also Stotty, your tunes have been proven to be first class, if not absolutely perfect for me, they are a great baseline to make some small tweaks to suit. Kudos.
Looks like I've ended with a 48th on NASCAR and 89th at Tsukuba. Can't be too disappointed with those results, although concentrating on NASCAR the last few days has seen my Tsubuka time slip a little too much. No matter, been a fun couple of events.

Glad i caught up on the thread before giving another try.
Wish I was able to put more time in earlier, just getting into the Spa event, nevermind.
Cheers guys, see what the next one brings.

Big time thanks to everyone who posts in theses threads , huge help . Ended with 107.7xx in the Mazda, by far my best TT .. I just can not get off the corners with the fast guys , I can keep up getting in but off I just can't get on the gas when they do .
Again Thanks ! looking forward to the next TT and great thread.

Well the update really destroyed these seasonals.
Unreal of PD to not make the adjustments. I'm running almost 50% power and can't catch the gold in five laps.
I see before folks was running 700hp now under 500hp.
I was like how the heck do these people run 2:11's. chased this thread and realized the update jacked up the PP.
Slick move PD. real slick.

Thanks PD for screwing up the PP system just when I was gaining some time with all the help from the gentlemen on this forum. I turned on my PS3 yesterday night and found an update 2.11. So I upgraded, logged in and went straight to the TT and found out that my NASCAR was 624 PP now. I wish I had waited.
Anyways, thanks Stotty, ripping_Silk and Argon56 for all your advise and Stotty for the tune. The ballast was certainly helping but I could not improve upon 1.18 because I was restarting every time I got Eau Rouge wrong. And that was a lot of times.

for anyone struggling since the patch to simply 'complete' the event, nevermind leaderboards, dont give up! i just got gold
i probably wasted 30min tuning when i made mistakes during the first half of the lap, eventually i noticed that i wasnt doing as well on the last few turns, did under 2:23 without too big of a hassle even though first half of the lap i was behind my old ghost that was ~2:24.85
just brake late, get a feel for the nuances on some of the turns, & dont spin your wheels while accelerating
i used stotty's settings https://www.gtplanet.net/forum/showthread.php?p=8107866#post8107866 but then tweaked a bit... probably not necessary
obviously you have to tweak the engine, aero, & weight
here is what i was using after messing around with stotty's:
here is default everything, adjusted aero, this is what used to be 570pp before the patch:
so you can do it, you have less than 24h but it's doable without being an extreme pro (& without using a wheel or pedals)
