Is anyone else gearing the 2J so that it stays in 1st gear for the duration of the lap?
I've done this but I'm not sure if this is the right way to go
Not to be cheeky but as you're a TT regular-could I send out an FR-my PSN ID is numbnuts70 👍
sure, send away.

I haven't tried the TT but because the 2J's acceleration at low speed is terrible, I would try and gear it quite low.

Ok,thanks for the input
but-granted that would be the logical way to look at it but,with the 2J limited to comfort soft and the gradual acceleration that comes with just 1 gear, combined with the 3 tight turns it might suit this track/car combo and maybe a low geared 'box would cause too much acceleration/lack of traction.
I use auto so I think it works better for me but I'll gear it as low as possible and try it in manual and try to short shift out of the tight turns and see if it makes much of a difference.

I just maxed out the Mclaren F1, no tune, and found that I can drift the hell out of that car. 
I set gold, but she needs a tune tonight before I try again. Fun TTs. 👍

Click on the rankings tab on the seasonal event, click the name at top of the leader board, click watch replay or save replay. There you go
Yeah did that easily straight after, not sure what happened before
And I take back what I said about the car looking glitchy being evidence of a dev or similar as 1. Car looks fine to me and 2. Replays aren't a "recording" anyway, the lap is reconstructed using the track and car on your own PS3/GT5 disc. So if your Calsonic GT-R looks weird, that's your disc or install.

I have an old Eunos J that I have maxed out at 399pp that I have used for some 400pp seasonals. I knew I could run low 1:10's with it so I gave it a shot this morning. Just missed gold with a 1:10.146. Not bad considering I am giving up 151pp to what is allowed. Tsukuba circuit and the Mazda roadsters seem like they were made for each other.

I like the Cusco too, one of my favorite cars, but I couldn't even come close to a sub minute run with it, as soon as I tried the 2J I was in the 57.xxx, it's almost like cheating, that thing is so fast, and grips so well, I don't think anything else can even come within 2 seconds, 3 maybe.
Edit: I did try a lot of other cars first though and found the best for me was the Audi R8 4.2, I think I did a 1:01xxx with it.

Camber: 1.5/2.7
Toe Angle: -0.10/0.0
Brake Balance: 6/5

Is that not the strength of the 2J? Low speed is where it is king compared to most other cars.
Ran this TT earlier, ended up with a reasonable lap but had a mediocre first sector on it.

Apologies if this has been brought up before. If you're going to read on, watch the #1 replay from the 650pp tt. I don't know if it's just me, but I don't see how laps that involve contact with walls withoutthe dreaded "Lap Invalidated" red text should be classified. I mean, Active steering doesn't exist in the real world (does it?). It cheeses me off how guys can use ABS and the other assists can get into the top 10. It effectively eliminates any chance purists like me have of cracking the top 50 at least. On the replays, and I felt this way with the GT academy final too, the top guys are sliding their cars into corners in a way that - for me at least - would be impossible in the real world. Rant over.
Anyone have a decent setup for the McLaren f1 ?

It is fast around low speed corners because of the fan obviously but have you ever tried starting from 0 mph alongside cars of a similar PP? It seems to be very slow off the line.

THe only advice I can give you is do NOT slam the suspension in combination with high downforce then try to go flat out around the curve before the hairpin on Grand Valley. The Mclaren F1 '94 will crest the hill and lose traction.

There is such a thing as active steering in real life, I don't tend to use it in the game as it is less fun but I can still be competitive and the fastest times can still be done without.
I haven't tried but I would expect the 2J to be one of the fastest as the key thing the fan thing improves is traction at low speeds. For these TTs the car is heavily power limited but still goes quite quickly even with standard gearing. If you don't limit the power, it accelerates rapidly and I think it will be competitive at all PPs, hence why it dominates so often. It doesn't have much downforce in high speed corners though which is where other race cars have it beat but it helps keep PP down.

You would think that but It has barely any power at low revs so low gearing will help you maintain a higher level of power, if you look at the power curve can see that it rises very sharply. On the previous TT I went for a lower top speed than REsuperG and it seemed to help a lot coming out of slow corners.

It does still accelerate rapidly launching from a stand still. I think the gearing as it is helps traction out of corners. Will be interesting to see how it compares to other cars at different PP levels regarding acceleration. I haven't bought any DLC yet, so can't do it with precision, anyone else up for some testing? Low gearing probably will help on this a bit, due to how much power is limited by.

2871st in the world in a bone stock, untuned F1 is probably my best seasonal result yet, and that was only after about 8 laps, i'm sure if I had the time or inclination I could improve on that
For any other folks like me who prefer to use the seasonals as a testing ground for cars in stock spec, I found the Esprit 350 Sport a lot of fun, and also the second quickest car of any, beating the MP4-12C by over a second. The younger McLaren I actually found to be a bit of a pig on that track, just would not do what I wanted it to do at all and understeered like crazy.
Might dust off my F1 Stealth now and see how that fares
EDIT: Rats, it's not considered a "Normal" car so I can't use it
Noob question, how does one get rankings per region? It's crossed out if I click the dropdown within GT5, just defaults to "all regions". Also is there a way of listing more than the top 256?

I think I just did a tune from the forum, but I adjusted it slightly, I'm new, only been playing for four months, and I don't even really understand cars too much, I just like games, but I noticed a couple of time trials ago it was the Ferrari f1 at Monaco, that the toe was at something like minus 55 on the front, and plus 55 on the rear, and that thing could turn great, so now once I get what I think is my best time, I adjust the toe of whatever car I use to that same placement, and I have always got a better time, probably took off a second each time, I'm not really sure why, or what it does specifically, but it works for me, try it.
Im using this setup with a few tweaks to the LSD. Changed Acceleration to 45, it doesnt seem to have much of an effect though as the cars rear is very sensitive and you have to have some throttle control to keep it in check

On Tsukaba, got a 1:06 with RS200 at 500PP on first lap. Might try to see how low I can go with PP before can't make the Gold.
On Grand Valley, golded on first try with McLaren, PP607, stock except upgraded the non-PP raisers (suspension, transmission, drive train - with no custom settings just default). On second lap dropped another 3 seconds.

Hello my friends,
Here's my setup used on the 2J Race Car '70, I ​​think it is possile to go with 0'54'6xx a ''perfect'' lap, I would like to thank ''cargorat323'' for the loan of his car, its configuration m 'has served basis, thank you to him.
