Time Trial #76: 550PP RWD Road Cars @ Spa Francorchamps

[jimipitbull]

Just ran 2:37.5 in the Shelby Series One Supercharged '03 (red lapped a 2:36.3), haven't even touched the suspension yet. Very fun car to slide around this track.

Also, noticed there are a couple of GSX-R and a Ford GT (no stripe) on the leaderboard.

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 ) - both most likely is the same guy 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.

We won't tell anyone Rido, ha ha.

Remember, others here have said they can see the front runners tunes too. We don't know who might be getting benefits from them. Just that we aren't.

Massive respect for the Wolf, he ran with such tune - low power, no ABS with high BB, and still very quick , although using multiple account is a bit too much IMO. Tunes won't really matter much ( suspension, LSD ), most already know, the fastest would be with minimum ballast, max downforce, the driving is the key here, look at Wolf's time

Sent, thank you!! 👍

Slippery sucker ain't it lol... Only 4 secs off the fastest NSX time

 

[Hospiton]

I have a few of the NSX LM's, one has engine s3 which I am currently using, and the rest have no engine tuning and one of them is currently on share with doodles tune on it [my own gear ratio tho] and is @ 448bhp.

Anyone has a stock nsx ml to send or share? ATM sitting at 2:39:2 damn and broke The ds3...

 

[Roweer1]

Not that i haven't had my fair share at Spa before, but i've just come to realize what is my best advice for this TT: Have a late first turn in at Eau rouge! I just did and came flying out almost half a sec in front of my ghost! Haven't cashed much in on it though -but i will as soon as i get time for a session, long enough to get in the zone...

LEONIS is at the top Again -and look at that 6'th place Suzuki with a previously unsurfaced driver -ARE YOU TWO KIDS HAVING FUN?....oh well....

Since you are probably talking about me here, let me just say that I have not had the time or inclination to dissect other people's replay data in this TT. The time I have achieved here is due to my pure driving ability and my own tuning. I am not benefitting from anything the top guys may have to offer, period.

 

[Ridox2JZGTE]

No replay from LEONIS ... mmmm, looks fishy.

 

[GTP_CargoRatt]

The guy using the Suzuki that's in 6th place is using automatic with Sports Hard tires. Oh boy, here we go again.

I got a 1:35.7, i'm guessing there is something up with those 1:30s...
If anyone wants to use my car, it will be on share tomorrow. Just send me an FR.

 

[Hyper-Dan]

2'34.356.. 161st place.. Miles of the fast guys still. Using Doodles tune, thanks for that 👍

Ha ha, different story this time Cargo, aye. But I am sure that your 'pure driving ability and tuning' is all that's required.

Mind you, the top drivers seldom post their tunes but those a bit further down the scale regularly do. But not you.

And sorry about your period, I'm sure you'll be back to your old self very soon.

 

[BanditKarter22]

Well that's great! 3 people in the top 10 definitely doing something dodgy with the GSX-R! They're so selfish, what even is the point in putting all this time into finding a good setup if these clowns are going to ruin it?

Trying to be a funny guy doesn't suit you as that was a pretty lame "period" reply. And yes, unlike you, my skill and tuning IS all that's needed....its always been that way. Again, unlike you, I don't have to search for that magic car/tune to compensate for my lack of skill.

Keep searching for your Chitty Chitty Bang Bang, you might find it someday. (Damn sticky smiley button, I thought I had it fixed. )


Here you go dalone, maybe this will help you.

 

[Gallagher]

Could someone please try out the GSX and post a tune here(for DS3), its more easy to drive but so much understeer...And why everybodys using NSX, im sure if the top guys are willing to push/try something else and post a top 10 time, everybody else are willing to givit a go. How can u be sure that the NSX is the fastest. I dont get it.

I've tried the GSX and it's nowhere near as good as the NSX.

You have a point! I've often wondered why the car, that the topguys immediately choose, seems to last throughout the TT's...
Funny how your avatar and post is in sync.

Danny 👍

You getting GT6 mate?

 

[skyline1683]

Well looks like the last TT before gt6 will turn in to a bit of a honest vs hacker
Tried the Suzuki and I'm pretty quick in that thing but I only just got it in to the 2:37s something is not right with the guys using it
My car will be back on share shortly no improvement so far today thou I have red lapped 5 mid 32.5s on the sweeping left hander before last bus stop chicane

The specs for Seasonals don't vary much, so the fastest car for 550ppts and comfort softs will have already been identified.

At this power level and tyres combo you want something with aero, and there aren't many 'road cars' available with aero.

That would explain some of it. Still; i've been around since about TT40 and neither the LM road nor the previous Integra has been up before...

 

[BanditKarter22]

No replay from LEONIS ... mmmm, looks fishy.

Just tried out the car you have on share! Straight away I was in the 2:32s but not fast enough in the middle sector with all that weight! So, I removed all ballast from the car and changed the power limiter to bring it back to 550pp, and after 3 laps I did 2:31.081 👍 Didn't even change any of the other settings!

For me the Shelby is about 2 seconds quicker than the GSX-R. It can keep up with my NSX ghost for most of the lap - it pulls ahead on the straights, NSX catches through the corners.

 

[Wolski_Martin]

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.👍

Thanks a lot for sharing the Honda! do you actually use that setup that is on the Honda. Its very tricky to drive ! I change the setup I tried for few laps the setup of JJG12345 and I got a high 1:42 but with just few laps.

Put this tune together to be stable/controllable with the ds3, using dalone's nsx (thanks). Pulled off a 2:36:958, feel like there still room to improve.

Ride height: -20/-20
Spring rt: 17.7/18.5
Ext/comp: 7/7
Roll bars: 4/4
Camb: 2.8/3
Toe -0.05/0.02

Lsd: 5/7/5
Dwn. Frc.: 35/60
Brakes: 8/8

Ballast: 120/-27
Pwr: 86.9%

Tran: (mostly just "flipped" it)
1st: 4.917
2nd: 3.606
3rd: 2.911
4th: 2.416
5th: 2.051
6th: 1.741
Final: 3.093

Its fairly well planted but still a little tail happy under power/exits. Thinking it could be faster with the power over steer tweaked out a bit more.

Thanks for the share of setup. I had trouble to get gears like you have, because If I wanted to get in first gear at 4.917 I couldn't get 6th at 1.741 maybe something with the program or a typo. So I tried slightly different and it worked fine.

The fast guys aren't stupid... it's very rare that the fastest car at the end of a TT changes from the fastest car on day 1.

if you think you can, go find a better car for this TT 👍
