The car on share now isusing same tune as Bandit without chasis rigidity i think {silver?}
I had some problem as hall90, with your Honda, in fact I was faster in Ford GT '6 but with more time I think I could get used to the Honda setup, do you use wheel or ds3 ?
 
BanditKarter22 great time :bowdown:, hope PD will remove these #%$@& cheaters.
Thanks for sharing your tune.


I'm now at 2:34.912. Only adjusted RH to +10 / -5, for me a bit easier to come out of corners (DS3 user).

Still see 0.5 to gain, but as always has to happen in one lap.
 
I am using stick -DS2 with USB adapter, it's pretty old and the steering is loose, so it's hard to be precise when entering corners :(. The R33 LM is not going to beat the NSX, but feels good and stable.
loose steering that's hard to drive, than you know what to get for Christmas ! I use wheel I somehow find that I'm more consistent with lap times, but in beginning I was slower than on ds3, however when I would go back to ds3 now I would probably be very slow. I tried the Nissan fun car, really thanks for share I did change the gear ratio because acceleration was quite slow but perhaps that tune makes it less edgy when you accelerating. Honda very nice tune, its Banditkarter tune isn't it? Done only 3 laps in it. I do have to get used to both of them at moment Im doing better in Ford GT 6 than in Honda lol but with an hour of practice Im sure I be faster. Im trying to get the
Ford GT '6 to about 2:40 at the moment 2:41:2xx I got almost a second of of my time of yesterday.

Does any one have Ford GT No stripes '5 to borrow? In beginning I saw some guys use this car.
 
Wow, this is a tricky one and places a massive emphasis on part throttle control and smooth steering inputs.

Just had an hour with the wheel using GTP_Orido's tune on my 0/0/0 car (I didn't realise you were already on my friends list, borrowed your car and copied your settings - I'm using 0 ballast, full aero and 30 LSD accel 👍)

Managed a 2'32'273

John, I've seen you run some amazing laps in the past, but the one you have run in this car is right up there at the top... a great lap mate :bowdown:

Played an hour or so last night, didn't improve with Bandits setup which was bizarre, then had a look at the tune and I only had 414bhp :rolleyes: Don't know what's up with that. :boggled:
 
Improved my time by 0.2 for a respectable 2:33.494 after 11 consecutive high 33s but threw a lot of time away with huge slide at crest of eu rouge and staying in 2nd for exit of bus stop cost me a bit too .
Have to also mention how close the battle is on my friends list not only are 11 of them in top 250 5 of us are withing 0.2 of each other over a 2:30 lap that is extremely close
Down to 2:33.434 now edging closer to shoenboggie
Scratch that had did a 2:33.307 with a okay 1st sector a decent 2nd but my last sector absolutely nailed it with best I've taken the bus stop chicane

There's TC guy with GSXR, no replay :( Many more are starting to use SH tire loophole :banghead:
How does this loophole work? I tried entering with SH tires and it allows but it automatically changes them back to CS tires on entry...
 
GTD have form... Viper/Banami and some of that group were using hybrids in a previous TT, though their tagged times look legit on this one.

Doodle's a member of TC, so he should be able to have a word... I don't remember any TC guys cheating in the past.
 
It's been a good day for me today, have improved by over .5 from the time I set last night.

Went from 2:35.542 to a 2:35.253 a few hours ago and just now have done a 2:35.016. :D

I can see that getting down into the 2:34's is not far off now, have already red lapped a few 34.9's by going slightly wide on the approach to the chicane or turning in too early at the chicane. :mad:
 
Actually,

He's on our list of fake members. He's not on our team.
 
Just had 3 laps with Ford GT premium :) The car is very stable on corner exit, it's a shame it has so much torque, with good amount of downforce and less torque, it would have been a real monster.

managed to run 2.27.573 2.37.573 with fordlaser777 NSX with some adjustement for the LSD (playing with DS3, no racing wheel, put it 5/7/5). was trying to apply some gear setup to my NSX, but i am noobishly failing...cant get the same ratio, whats the order?
Reset, then move speed to 200, then adjusting final gear? or other order? cuz when i flip the final gear or the speed, the whole ratios goes crazy.
cheers from italy

2.27 would place you up the front....

With better setup and in better hands I think 1:35 could be done or even less. Enjoy! ;)
 
Maybe some people are talking about you running with dirty oil etc..

But the lap is Very good.
Was watching it inside from cockpit view, and I realized something unusual. To me it looks like you are braking and doing some ''jerk'' inputs on your steering wheel on corner entrys. I have never done this on purpose, but looks like it is fast

Funnily enough, I'm actually watching the replay now, and I noticed the same thing,
 
now at 2:34.3 and it's by far the most different TT I run. This track it's so crazy I can understand now why so many pilots say this is madness :) and all those downhill corner exits make this a bone crushing trap for motorcycles :)

Corners 2, 3 and 4 are were I think we all need some good advice, so if the guys in the top places could do here a short explanation of what the technique should be that would be great :))
And why not a longer 5th so we can have more stability from higher RPM in 3rd corner (the very fast uphill right hand corner that runs in the left hand blind corner 4)?
