I noticed a Ford GT
Had a go at this yesterday got to 2.37.809.
tried various setups and got a 2.36.832.
Quite pleased with that but more time out there yet.
2 cars on share if anybody wants to try.
fr to psn id stewyripper will be back on this afternoon.👍

I would like to try your car if I may :) btw did anyone try Ford GT I noticed in the beginning Ford GT I Think '05 was on the chart, now its gone. I have only Ford GT '06 not '05 but I could do the gold time without setup just in 3th lap standard car no changes made to engine or anything its I think faster than Ferrari 599 '06.
 
Second attempt at a tune I feel comfortable with as good as doodles tune is just didn't suit my style so with 4 hours of laps tweeks a gear box setting taken from my takata dome I've managed a 2:33.734 for 77th but with a really sloppy eu rouge and a horrific entry and exit on bus stop chicane starting to really enjoy this TT now

It's a quick lap but I can see at least a 1 second gain in sections I wasn't fully commited and the two big mistakes I made in the lap cost me 0.7 the leaders are doing 2:30.700 and that's only withing a few days of running I can see a sub 2:30 for front runners easy
 
Wow skyline, you've come flying into this one. Only had two sessions of one hour each -but even so, i think there's a long way up from my 2.35.4something.

Think it's not only about your style; that Doodle-setup is tough for a DS3 as is the car itself: i'm driving TC2 -at least- here from the start. Hope to be able to turn it off later on.

As i'm not trustworthy making my own setup, i have put perrolocomcq changes onto doodle's setup with LSDaccel. at a less extreme 40. It has max aero (according to himself even impossible front aero!;)) and is a Little easier to keep on the road. Only problem now is i'm stuck with a gearbox from the higher powered doodlesetup. I'm supposed to adjust by moving final gear to the right, right? -Thanks in advance -and thank you to doodle and perrolocomcq for posting!

Thanks mate spa is one of my best tracks I seem to have my best TT results on it.
Yes if you move it to the right it will adjust the gear box but I found with doodles if you do that the gear box has massive flat spots mid corner witch unsettles the car if put mine on share for the next hour while I pop to shops for supplies for tonight session so you can use my gearbox settings or anyone on my friends list for that matter you can't miss it looks like a john deer tractor with its paint scheme.
It was tuned for the ds3 thou I imagine if you use the wheel you will get the best from it

Just grabbed it -thanks a lot mate! (only realized afterwards that my post could be comprehended as if i was only asking you -sorry 'bout that, 'twas unintended) Mind if i just take the car for a spin -for starters?
Edit: BTW; I use DS3!

Go for it you'll find it very responsive but controllable I've no issue with sharing it out if it helps anyone on my list
 
Well I did little imrovement, 2.38.2xx to 2.35.9xx, messy lap, 2.34.9xx is possible but thats about it i think with my DS3, im having aLot of trouble exiting corners, that wheelspin, tail just keeps skating, ive tried accel.setting 10,15,20..etc no difference, maybe my X(accel) button is "dead"-cant control smooth accel. anymore...TC at 2 and used nowcontrol´s pretty blue nsx, but i changed the tune, didnt fit for me.
 
40 is a VERY high LSD accel setting... Try it around 20 and you should find you get much better exit traction 👍
...And i was having second thoughts about writing "less extreme" as it is a contradiction in terms -it would seem it's not!

My idea was that a high accel is faster if you can handle it -and if perrolocomcq recommends 60 for Wheel, i might just be able to handle 40 -though i know he is good! But i will certainly keep it in mind as a Tool for handlingadjustment -thank you!

Can i have a go on your Car too? I'll be honest with you, stotty's setups are just perfect for me! I'll try a lower LSD as he suggests and give it a go... :)
 
I just tried Doodle's tune with max downforce (power reduced to compensate) and LSD accel at 15 and got a 2.36 in 5 laps with the pad.

Felt nice, so I might give it a go with the wheel at some stage 👍

High LSD accel will increase acceleration but only if you can managed the throttle accurately enough. It means the diff locks faster and this spins up the outside wheel causing oversteer if you're not very accurate with the gas.

The more skilled you are the higher the LSD accel you can use.

60 is a drift setting!

Yeah no problem just send a FR thou it be a few hours before it's up on share in at start of another session
Just improved but 0.150 to a 2:33.584 lost 0.5 in last sector could have been a high 32

Cars back on share for friends list easy 31 in right hands

Good going 👍

I will try and get on in a bit and see if I can shave a few tenths too ;)
Just seen P1's lap without any ABS! :crazy: Super driving!

Lowered the LSD to 35 from 45 and put TC on 1 which I normally don't use at all and got a 2:33.352 another .500-.750 for me with a clean lap. That exit out of the last chicane is costing me a bit of time at this point.

Love Spa!!!
 
I'd love a NSX-LM if any1's got a spare one.. Trusefusker
Don't think many wants to give one away just now. Next best thing is to borrow. If there's none on your friends list, I can put mine up while i'm using skyline's JohnDeere. Just send FR.

That Tractor took me to 2.34.803 within half an hour and more to come. Thank you skyline.👍
 
I've managed to get down to a 2:31.2 for 5th place again! I would love to know the setup of the top guys though! There were a couple of mistakes on my lap but that doesn't account for half a second.

No problem mate told you it's quick i know I can do a 32 with it
 
Up to 63rd with a decent 2:33.332 using perrolocomcquee's setup 👍 There's plenty of time there for the taking if I can get on the power a little sooner. I get a little excited when I know I'm on a good lap and then end up binning it :banghead:
 
Here's my setup, has done 2:33.627 with room to improve

Ballast 50@50
Full downforce
Suspension
-5, -15
10, 17.5
3, 8
3, 8
3, 5
2.0, 1.5
0, 0.15

Diff 5, 55, 5
BB 4,6

Used Ridox's gears
 
Down to a 2'34.714 now. Been up on my ghost by as much as almost a full second so I know there is still loads of time for me to be had, just have to hold it all together. Its that damn S turn at the end that kills me everytime.

EDIT: Now at 2'34.379. Just figured out how to best take that last S section so I should be good now, just have to string it all together. Until tomorrow guys, peace.

The no ABS Japanese racers with sub 2:31 times have very high extreme BB ( similar to my style - but they are on a wheel :drool: ) - both most likely is the same guy :lol: what are the chances 2 very quick no ABS wheel racer with times so close ?

The no ABS racer used quite a lot of limiter, so the car must be running low HP. I can't say more, don't want to get into trouble.
