Anyone got a decent tuning set-up for the Nismo?

 

[Mr P]

Had a good long session in the Gordini.. This combo is super addictive!! Nice laptime sdi_03

So far I'm down to 1'36.890 for 3rd place.. I can take some more off 👍

Interesting to have the Gordini dirt trial and the GR Yaris will be having a dirt trial as well. I think we'll see a small spike with an interest in rallying, due to the Toyota. Might have to buy one of those Dirt games.

 

[Mr P]

Pushed back up to 6th in the Gordini.. lots of fast guys there 👍 Really hard to find those last few tenths now here's my best lap so far for perusal..



I reckon another .2 in the books for me at the most and then I will probably tap out 👍 Well Done to the top 5 guys

Very interesting combos this week. The Gordini is all about conservation of momentum, and the Nismo is all about controlling that front wheelspin I'm getting PTSD flashbacks from the 2015 GT Academy. Thankfully tuning is allowed but even that doesn't make this brick a lot better.

Thanks my friend

I took some photos as it's the first time

Congrats How much time do you think ASM is worth? I tried it on and the car just handles so weird, I'm actually faster without it

I wonder if ASM is also beneficial for the Nismo LM?

Thank you

Really I don't how How much time ASM worths on this TT ?

I start the TT without ASM as usual and I managed 38.23X

I saw comments from @sdi_03 and @numbnuts70 regarding ASM used by top drivers. thanks guys 👍

And indeed after a check of top drivers replays, all were using ASM.

So i enable it and immediately i improve my time for at least one thenth around 38.1XX. So i will say more or less one thenth perhaps 2 thenth

Don't really know , as I continue the TT with this configuration and never test it again without ASM.

R8 Gordini TT is fun 👍

i managed 1:36:834 P10

still possible gain 2 or 3 thenth , I 'm able to be faster than P1 on T1 but i still have to improve on the rest of the track.

i'm chasing @sdi_03 and @Mr_P, well done guys super time

Few tips for gordini.
Try to keep the streering as straight as possible. There is quite strong affect on acceleration versus steering angle.
Try to pulse the steering and let the car slide alittle. Most important, try to keep momentum.

Use leaders ghost. Set the ghost start about .5 - 1 sec in front of you. You can see the lines etc better.

If you use auto gears, you will be losing alot of time. So good time to learn manual. Only 2 gears needed

Thanks for driving TIPS and ghost tips:tup:

 

[sdi_03]

No asm for gordini or nismo.

heres my tune for the nismo

Thanks for the share
I will try it tomorrow.

With R8 Gordini
P5 : 1:36:478

with BB -4 don't know if it's important in this TT.

 

[CBH]

1:39.651 is the best I can do .

 

[Dalone]

Currently 1.38.230 in the Gordini, fun little race.

Wasn't so much fun when I did my first few laps the other day though. Couldn't get understand why my races all ended up with red times and all high 1.40's.

Yep, this idiot took the right hand track at the start of the race and went through the pits each lap. Was going to ask here how everyone else was actually putting down times. Ha ha ha.

Good time mate . I wish I could drive using Manual my friend, the fast guy's are using only 3rd & 4th gear I think Dalone.

 

[v8_pursuit]

Hi guys, had a vacation day off. All on my friends-list did a great job in the Gordini. I still try to catch up. It's a fun combo.

@Stewyripper: Well done, great time! 👍👍

@fordlaser: Fantastic lap with auto-gears, mate. I'm 3tenth behind you, although I switched for this TT to manual. 👍👍

Thanks my friend . I will have a few more goes this week at the Gordini TT, and I see a update for the game this week and we get the Toyota GR Yaris TT.

 

[CBH]

Hey @v8_pursuit I have skip away and I am now 1:39.074 and if you are going to use manual, you should beat my time because you only have to use two gears in this TT.

Great time @fordlaser will be coming after you later today. lol

 

[CBH]

Great time @fordlaser will be coming after you later today. lol

Thanks my friend and I will let you go pass my time, because that is my limit now and I can not get close to my ghost anymore.

 

[seadog777]

OMG, in the bottom half for the rally (not really a surprise) but what is a shock is I'm almost 12 seconds off the top time!
That is massive for such a short track on a car you can't tune.
I know rally driving isn't my strong point in this game but........ blimey, didn't realise I was that bad!

 

[fisheye]

I'm around 1600th place in the Gordini. It's seems just like High School again.
Edit: 996th place! Woo Hoo this is fun!

Ok my friend, done: 1:38,819. But not far away from you. With a wheel you should be able to catch me, even with auto-gears. I'm using a DS4 and you're a very fast driver.

 

[v8_pursuit]

@fordlaser: Did a few laps with auto-transmission. My best was 1:38,981. I think the most important is this:

Use the advantage of the wheel and you will be faster. 👍

@sdi_03 is a much better driver than me and he is right.

I will have another go later on and see what can I do my friend .

Done a couple of hours today and I am close to my best time of 1:39.074 but I have never pass my ghost today, so that is my limit to this TT my friend.

 

[v8_pursuit]

Found 2 tenth. Down to 1:38,637.
In the first half of the track I'm even with the big guns. Then I lose time in the second half. But I'm learning and getting better. Some time left to improve.

 

[Dalone]

Still improving a little, now #38 with 1:37.369.

 

[seadog777]

Well after watching some of the replays here (very handy, thank you!) I've managed to knock a few seconds off and am now around 8 seconds off in the Gordini . Position 2,5xx which with 10,934 players (as of just now: https://gtsport.r1s3.net/vault/7/1) isn't bad for me. Just got to find 8 seconds!!!

Keep trying, you will get there.

 

[sdi_03]

Tryed to catch xtras, well almost
Did improve my time a bit, P10 atm
BB -4
Heres a real game play vid, maybe some one will get some tips and tricks from it.



(ghost is current p1 +0.8s)

 

[Dalone]

I too improved a little again, following the new leader.

Now 1:37.075 for #29........... 1st in OZ.

The leader, TX3 Komradz (sub 1:36) looks to make a couple of mistakes on two corners which I find helps me to do them better.

 

[CBH]

Hi @v8_pursuit I was testing some racecars and I notice my steering settings was to heavy when steering, so I went back to the R8 Gordini TT with sensitive steering and I did a 1:38.706 using Auto . A few more plays with the wheel settings I might beat your time my friend, and a good lap @Dalone and I wish I could join you in the low 1:37s.
