Hi, folks, I have massive love for the classic JGTC cars - one of them is the Castrol Tom's Supra '97
If I am not mistaken, that picture is from Goodwood, so you would be able to replicate that on GT6...
Edited to say, I made a mess trying to insert the picture again, Ipad isn't as user friendly as a computer

Only 1:50.8, I've often beaten my ghost by miles, then I get all excited and blow it towards the end of the lap......ha ha. I've tried various settings, but I never seem to be able to get the power down as easily as the top guys, it seems like an age before the car gets going after I start accelerating, I've tried umpteen LSD settings, but unfortunately, I get bored easily, so I give up after less than 10 tries.
It's amazing when you think you are a half decent racer, only to do a TT and find out it's a lot harder than you think. This is my first serious go at a time trial, and to be honest, I've really enjoyed it.

I'm just hoping that the first one is at Autumn Ring.
X2 or is that 3 or 4 at this point. Really enjoy the Autumn ring, Spa and Tsukuba are my other good/great tracks for my driving style.

I am hoping for Cizeta V16T or 25th Anniversary Countach stock no tuning comfort soft at Bathurst in the morning for GT6 1st TT 
Can't say how much I love Bathurst, spent countless laps in PS2 Toca Race Driver 3 driving V8 Supercars.

Bathurst, I'm not mad at that, come on GT6!!!
Improved a bit to 1:45.2xx the other day using -10/00 toe settings and the differential at a 5/35/5 setting. I will have 20 minutes or so on Wednesday night to try and break back into the top 250 I hope.

Just improved my Castrol Tom's Supra '97 time to 1:48.738 from low 1:49, minor changes to the tune, added front downforce to 41, shorter final at 2.435 and ballast to 40kg, posted tune has been revised :
Castrol Tom's Supra '97 500HP 1190kg Tune
The car now has better response on high speed curve.

Thank you very much to the person from here who gifted me an 03 Takata Dome. That was very generous of you, I'll have to send a message on Playstation to thank you personally, as I'm not sure of your GTPlanet name. I understand why people enjoy this car.
Got my time down to a 1:46.190, which was 660th place last night. I feel about another second if I had a few more days, but I see this competition ends tonight/tomorrow. I will put in a few more laps to see if I can hopefully break into the 1:45's. I'd like to make Top 500.

Seems I opened my little window of opportunity earlier. Started today around 1:46.7 and am now on 1:46.139.
Just 6/100 behind my old sparring partner Cargo, and I was regularly a few lengths in front of my ghost.
But that's enough for now, kids are home from school and the girlfriend is waking up from her camp.

No improvement for me this morning but it was oh so close, still got a whole day yet so who knows what might happen.
👍
👍Yeah, it's funny that. I haven't been able to improve much at all in the last week and then today it was all falling into place. For a while.No improvement for me this morning but it was oh so close, still got a whole day yet so who knows what might happen.
I found the 1st r/hander worked better the harder I attacked it, very hard braking and allowing the turn itself to slow the car down enough to get into position to floor it. Similar for the 2nd r/hander, swung a bit wide (L/hand side) then a quick turn right to slow it a bit before heading up to the L/hander which should be cut as much as allowed.

That would be me, and you are most welcome my friend. I like to see that everybody gets a fair chance with the car of choice. 👍
Good stuff Dalone, Did you try with any of the adjustments which I suggested in post #382? Expand the quote and you will see them in bold and underlined.
As for me, I am now at 1:45.776 and can still see another tenth or two to gain, We shall see.

My own tune for this TT has been somewhat of an evolution and this is why I haven't posted it sooner because I could not stop myself from making constant changes, I did, however, keep my shared NSX updated with it for those that have borrowed.....
so this is the final tune that I THINK I have settled with....
Please try it, and give me your opinions if you'd like.
I'll try this later... 👍

You're welcome. I was not so much simplifying the discussion as defending your right to be simply humourous about it.
That was the gist of the post. From ambitious tuners and photographers, to car-detailers and drivers, this is where it starts before they climb the ladder.
(Bolded mine) And that was the crux of the discussion: is it secret? Is it proprietary? Was hacking used, etc, etc....
While not exactly a fanboy, I'm not a hater either - but yes, I take GT5 as very serious therapy. After a long day fighting traffic it's nice to take the Bentley Speed 8 for a run round the Ring. No ambitions there but pure relaxation.
I hope you understand I was not putting you down in any way, more just trying to explain your position.

Thanks for sharing your tune, I will try this PM, stuck on 1:45.2xx for some time now.

Nice improvement there Dalone. I've kinda lost interest in this TT so I doubt that I'll give it another try. If you manage to beat my half-hearted attempt here, then congrats. Sorta losing interest in GT5 altogether, even the TT events. I guess it could be because I'm looking forward to GT6 so much and ready to get started on a new journey. I think its safe to say that I have squeezed every last bit of enjoyment out of GT5 that I could. Its been a great ride, just ready for a new journey.
