Urgent assistance needed on a volvo c30 r design!

[Furinkazen]

Hello. In TOCA Season 3 I am campaigning a Volvo C30R Design with a team mate of mine Akmuq. Since the 1.11 patch froze LSD settings, we are stuck with unacceptable tyre wear. The races are tomorrow at Cape Ring Inside tomorrow night british time, and we need some help urgently.

Could you be kind enough to give us some pointers? The races are 3x 13 lap events of Cape Ring Inside, and compared to the BMW's, Ford's and Mazda's we are losing a lot of time late on due to tyre wear.

This is the car spec (Which cannot be changed)

Weight Reduction S1
Weight Reduction S2
Engine Stage 1
Engine Stage 2
Engine Stage 3
Single Plate Clutch
Sports Flywheel
Fully Customisable LSD
Fully Customisable Suspension
Fully Customisable Transmission
Racing Hard Tyres
Sports Exhaust
High RPM Turbo Kit
Aero Part Front Type A
Aero Part Rear Type A
Aero Part Wing Type A
Power 305hp

I think your title fails then

Joke aside.
You can downgrade your game (like the spongers do) , set your LSD and upgrade it then.
The LSD settings should stay if you upgraded your game.

Bit too risky IMO. Need something a bit easier to implement.

Or try with a 2nd account.Buy the Volvo , set your LSD , upgrade the game and gift it to your main.

^ that's a good idea actually, if you have the time.
EDIT: It might take a while though since it'll have to all be done offline, so might actually be quite time-consuming.

Time for what?

I think getting 50k Cr. in A-Spec can be done in about 2hrs.

Earn money and level up to buy the car and parts, to be able tune the lsd properly. Seasonals wouldn't be an option, it'd all have to be done on the original GT5 layout.

you only need to buy the car and the lsd.The rest can be done with the main.

Is LSD all you can do to prevent tyre wear? What about camber and suspension? I am running with full negative toe on my car as it helps remove understeer.

All back.
Actually it doesn´t work with a 2nd account on the same PS3 since the 2nd account uses the same (upgraded) game files.

You need a 2nd PS3 to get it to work.

I PM'd you everything I know of, camber, toe, lsd, and the less under-steer achieved through rake, the less wear on front tires.

If you're working on it now, the obvious main trick is lower the rear all the way, and increase the front ride height until it's as loose as you can control, I'll see what I can scrap up later though.
