Good one Cargo, My eyes are well over 40 years old and my time is 1:48.6 and perhaps I have to look into getting some glasses to so I can see them dam corners.Well, after a quick 15 minute run, improved to 1'46.523. (Sorry Dalone) Still a lot more time to be had as I'm not even a half hour invested in this yet. Should be able to put some serious time into this tomorrow after my eye exam. Yes, you heard right, eye exam. After I get my new glasses, you all better look out as I'll finally be able to see where the hell I'm going.

Musicracer . . . I'm in the same boat - since I've been online only a few weeks so far. My head's still spinning from all the new stuff in my game. Online is a complete mystery to me . . . and I'm still treading my way around. The good thing is I've hung out at GTPlanet ever since I began playing three years ago - so I'm not a total noob to the theory - it's the practical part that's got me quaking in my little space driver booties now.
So far, so good, though. It's great to be with friends.

I've never tried borrowing a car before... will be a new experience if I don't F#*k it up
Nothing to it ...and you can't really stuff it up.
I just sent you a friend request

Thought I'd share my tune with you guys since I'v taken such heavy inspiration from this forum.
My First time back on GT 5 since Febuary, so I'm feeling quite pleased with a 1.46.019 but i know i can at least shave of another 5-6 tenths if i can hook my best sectors together.

Done my stint for the morning, gone from 1.46.698 down to 1.46.112 so well pleased with that:tup:👍👍.
But there is more time to be had, not so much the tune, more the driver and correct lines already invalidated a 1.45.8.
will try again later, car is on share for anyone to try, or fr to stewyripper.
Good luck everyone stewy.

Did that myself last night too, but got down to a 1:46.147 for now and I know there is a clean 1:45 on the way.

I woke up really early this morning and couldn't get back to sleep. So, I decided to do the time trial for a little while.
On only my second lap I improved to a 1:44.571. On the next lap I had my ghost in the rear view mirror and messed up on the left entering the first tunnel.
That corner is my nemesis and gets me almost every time, I'll figure it out eventually..I hope.

What did you change it to and find 0.5s?
Hope you don't mind me commenting, but you have some contradictory settings in your posted set-up, and you might find you can improve if you change them...
You have a high rear brake balance and high LSD deceleration setting. If you reduce the amount of rear bias on the brakes you’ll be able to run less LSD decel and this will have the added benefit of making the car turn much better mid corner when you’re off the throttle and brakes.
You have a high LSD acceleration setting and a large amount of positive rear toe. If you reduce you’re LSD accel you’ll be able to get on the throttle harder with less risk of wheelspin/oversteer, and this will mean you can run less rear toe.
Overall, I think your LSD settings are too high. If you reduce them you’ll have a car that understeers less on corner entry and oversteers less on corner exits.
I also see you also have chassis rigidity installed… this will almost always add understeer to a car and I’d avoid it unless you have a car that oversteers horrendously on a trailing throttle or on the brakes.
Good luck improving 👍

After a bit more NSX tuning, I've been able to run a nice 1:45.446 lap, which puts me into 235th place!
My lap was very clean with only a slight mistake going into and thru the tight left-hander just before the first tunnel.
I don't think that I left much time on the track, but I'm still likely to try for more!
About every fourth or fifth lap, I will still make a big mistake, usually a spin-out from overly aggressive throttle application.
Its interesting how the game makes it difficult to drive when you get back on the track. Even after your tires have cooled down, its still difficult to drive fast (I guess the tires have picked up a ton of klag, which doesn't get scrubbed off for half a lap).
All you can do is limp along until the start of the next lap.
See you at the Valley!

Wow, ok Cool! thanks for the headsers =D I'll try playing with the settings a bit and run some laps tonight ^^
the Chassis Rigidity gave me a 3 tenths boost, and i generally like a more understeery car and my past experience is that I'm faster with rather than without. but then again I have basicly 0 tuning knowledge.
Edit: Ok so i gave up the pursuit of finding a tune on my own and ended up just ripping off yours and after about 10 laps managed my first improvement of the day (1.45.654 #298)
Loving how the car feels under breaking and how the front grips though I'm not getting along too well with the back. It slides a bit more than I'm used to making me miss the apex in the second of the double lefts (right after the first split time) and then again on the 90* left before the tunnel. any pointers?

Question: Is there a way to turn off the physical ghost car but obtain the times so you get your lap delta?

@Trusefusker With the DS3, the default button to turn the ghost off should be the Up (^) directional button.

Sure, send FR to GTPCARSHARE
Thanks, Ridox! That's an easy tag to remember. Thanks for that, too!
I've never done this 'share' thing before - so all very exciting to me - please bear with my 'noobiness'. (Don't worry - I'll be a vet, soon, and become all haughty and cynical and everything, promise.)
The only real tune I've used so far was Dr. Whacko's tune, and I have to say that I'm incredibly impressed by the difference in handling and the huge jump down in timing, while the car still seemed to retain it's 'character'. There is no doubt a good tune helps - and I'm very happy that I fell in with you lot on working at this. This software is worth every penny - and it's guys like you, (and many others in here,) that give it that value. 👍
Will be sending that FR sometime today.

I'd like the rear to slide more than it does on entry
If it slides too much increase rear wing to 60 and reduce the power limiter to compensate.
For double left at the start of T2 you should be concentrating on hitting the 2nd apex and taking a lot of kerb (ideally, you want the car straight as you go over the kerb so you can use full throttle)... you need to coast off the gas through the entry and middle of the turn feathering the brakes to get the car to turn in to the 2nd apex. If you're using a wheel, try and keep a fairly constant steering angle throughout the 2 parts of the turn.
The 90* left before the tunnel is a slower corner than it feels... you must hit the apex with no understeer to get a good exit. Enter from the middle and coast in to the apex.
Cool... will give it a go when I get back to my wheel 👍

I can come off the double left good but, I think I'm getting the right leading to the left turn before the tunnel all wrong.
I'm unsure of how far to go up on the concrete, if at all, and how much gas to use to accelerate through the right before braking to the left.
Pretty sure I'm over driving that section and costing myself a good lap, GRRRRR!!! LOL.

I don't brake much for the right... I use all of the kerbing on left hander to give a wide entry to the 1st right, coast a bit, then down-shift to 2nd to create the rotation in to the 2nd right.
I think I might use a touch of brakes, but no more.

Down shifting is not going to happen with me on this TT, lol. I'm ok shifting with the slower cars but these are way to fast for me to shift or left foot brake but, I'm learning. I'm already a half second better than my goal of a 1:44.xxx so any improvement is "happy, happy, joy, joy". I'll try to lift earlier so as to not push through the left and see if I can do better.
Thank you for the advice.
