I was able to do a 33.254 just now. One thing I noticed is, apart from the obvious “get the first turn super right”, this car loses a lot of momentum every time it swings back or drift for too long. It’s not super obvious to notice, but pay attention to the RPM when you’re turning, specially when in 5th gear. So the the thing is: try to be precise. If you turn in too much, you’re losing a lot of time. If your having to correct too much, your losing a lot of time. Super smooth is the key!

That's right my friend the car is too delicate to drive a wrong movement on the steering wheel and you lost all your work

In my experience, reverse rake gives less understeer, but normal rake can give either under or oversteer depending on the car and other settings. The only way to really figure it out is just trial and error. Like many other aspects of the physics, when you use extreme values things tend to get a bit wonky. We know for a long time weight transfer tends to get overexaggerated in GT (e.g. MR/RR cars harder to drive than in proper sims and real life), and the suspension is overdamped to compensate this and make the game easier for casuals. Unfortunately, 2 wrongs doesn't make a right but these issues have persisted for years and PD doesn't seem to notice/care.
I wouldn't put it down to aero. The Alpine shows 0/0 in settings and it doesn't have any underbody downforce either.

@COLOMBIAMIGUE7 Nice tune again mate, got me down to 33.279.
I'm now going over my tune and others, its quite nice doing 10 laps of each to compare.
@LeGeNd-1 I think you are correct on the aero. A few nights ago (admittedly after a few beers) I ran the Alpine on SSRX and tried ride heights at min/min, max/max, min/max, max/min. No discernable difference in top speed, so no change in drag and therefore I assume no change in downforce. I swear I remember GT5 or 6 had differences.

I think if the car doesn't show downforce numbers in settings screen, it's safe to assume it has no downforce/drag no matter the body rake. If the car has downforce numbers, then rake does affect drag. I did some tests with the F1500T-A when a FIA race allowed tuning last year. You get max speed with ride height min/min, followed by min/max, max/min and max/max slowest.
Back in old GT1-5, there is a wheelie trick where having negative rake can increase top speed disproportionately. This seems to have been patched in GT6/GTS however.

Thanks @COLOMBIAMIGUE7 for sharing your tune 
With some minor changes it helped me to a 32.704 and 5th place - first time in the Top 50 for me 😁

Nice! I feel like I can be reasonably fast when I get a setup, but I can’t setup past gear ratio and, maybe, aero. Thanks @praiano63 !

I did a 1:36.585, but I feel so unstable all around. I don’t know how people are flattening out the whole chicane section, and just after that section, my braking is a die roll. Sometimes, it just locks all the wheels, and I go slowly into the wall.
Update: I was able to go flat on the chicanes, but it seemed a bit random if I’d get out “alive”.
Update: I just managed a 1:36.284! That was a scary lap!
Update: how are you all doing? Any times and tips?

I liked it! Instantaneously more consistent. Fastest lap was a 1:36.4 against my 1:36.28 with the Aston Martin, but consistent around 1:36.6.
Update: I just did a 1:36.275, which is 0.009 faster than my Aston Martin time, but I feel a lot more in control now! Thanks @praiano63 !!! I’ll post the video here in a bit. Maybe it helps someone.

@praiano63 , gotta tell you, that’s a solid setup for the Vette! I’ll try to explain so others can understand how to use it.
I’m using BB 2 to the back, and Praiano’s setup for the Corvette.
Always up shift aroun 6k RPM, maybe a bit later. Right about the middle of the bar.
But the genius is on how the car handles. The thing is using trail braking when turning into a corner, and, here’s the secret, use the gas pedal to finish rotating, right after the apex, specially on that turn right after the chicanes, where you have that late double apex thing to the left that goes uphill. That’s how you make some important time. Use your gas to rotate you into the uphill section with momentum enough to push you up. Check my last update in my last post, so you can see the video. Good luck everyone.

Dont know if I count as a fast driver, but tested few laps with Trueno.
BB 3 suited my driving style, but BB did not make a big difference IMO. Just brake early and trailbrake in to the corners. And dont let the wheelspin slow you down.
P40 atm. But can go to 1:51.xxx for sure if put more time to this.

Hello guys, how are you doing, I hope everything goes very well A TIP for those who run With a steering wheel the test with the toyota 86, do it with a gear lever in H .. I do not have unemployment those who have it, try the leaders all with a lever in H.

? What do you mean? Manual shifter in some position? Or what? 😄
I dont have shifter, but asking out of curiosity. 👍
