WGTC, season 1, please use new thread, link in post 1.Finished

These are some base tunes people can work from. They are not my final tunes and are not guaranteed to suit everyone's liking.

The GTR tune is the most accurate to my own tune, with that tune its possible to do mid 2'14's at Spa, reaching 163mph top speed and going flat through Eau Rouge (once tyres are warmed up).

The Z4 and SLS tune are pretty handy too around Spa. The R8 tune is a little further off, basically because I know my tune already, and Rev will obviously be told my tune, so sorry Stig, you'll have to work it out yourself! But you don't need much more anyway.

The specs are still being tested, but the setups shouldn't change dramatically. I hope this helps some people.

Man, there is no logical connection in the damper or spring rate settings in my opinion But they work! You are the magician of suspensions in here
Mate, did you run the times online or offline?

 

[gtpcaine]

I wouldn't go that far, I just have a lot of free time, and someone's gotta try and balance these cars! I just learnt on the job!

All times were set online.

 

[RS__96__oO]

Online! Oh well, that is pretty fast then. Anyway I gotta thank you so much for the setup/s , without them I probably would have gone wild

 

[Mini Stiggy]

My tests at Monza(Normal tire wear, online, all tuned, all min DF)

R8: 43.8
Z4: 45.2
SLS: 45.0
GTR: 45.4

Since I haven't driven anything in the game except for the R8 in a while, I'm pretty sure I wasn't driving the others as quick as they could be driven.

 

[P1K3Y_M1k3Y]

It looks as though your ability to drive the R8 is about 1.5 quicker than the others then

 

[RS__96__oO]

Seems that this is the only reason that I thought the R8 was too fast. Every driver is simply used to his car and knows how to drive it. I´m really looking forward to the season, it´s gonna be a hard competition 👍

 

[P1K3Y_M1k3Y]

Preview of new car specs.

After more testing we decided that the SLS was looking to be just too fast and not by a small margin but the GT-R was struggling a bit, mostly down to driveability but we still felt it needed a small boost to try to help.

SLS: 549BHP, 605PP
GT-R: 596BHP, 618PP
Z4 & R8 are unchanged.

@gtpcaine is going to post full confirmation along with his testing times for each car and track once he is happy he has enough data and is comfortable with the cars 👍

a tad premature i think m8y.

 

[P1K3Y_M1k3Y]

Just keeping everyone informed as to what is going on behind the scenes

[RS__96__oO]

Guys, away from testing and organising the championship I hope you are celebrating the new year well and you will have fun in the next one! I´m looking forward to racing you guys again

 

[Mini Stiggy]

@P1K3Y_M1k3Y, Milan got the Z4 down to 13.1 at Spa, and I got the Audi down to a 12.9.

Where is the dislike button when you need it good laps 👍

 

[Mini Stiggy]

It is possible to get into the 11s with an absolutely prefect lap, the best I can get to is a 12.298

 

[Glenalz81]

Happy new year to all! ..Hmmmm all of a sudden the merc doesn't seem that fast eh?

 

[P1K3Y_M1k3Y]

Happy new year to all! ..Hmmmm all of a sudden the merc doesn't seem that fast eh?

Dunno, Milan getting low 13's @ Spa in Merc and BMW and god only knows how stiggy getting 12's.

Maybe the Audi needs pegging now

 

[Glenalz81]

yeah 13.7 been my best at spa with the usual few tenths left...but 12's, for me, no chance..11's, pfft different league..just about to do my last two tracks shortly.. but like i said last night if the merc cant match or beat the audi for straight line speed there no match.......Let us not forget there is a success ballast system in place to prevent complete domination by any 1 car or driver.

 

[RS__96__oO]

I´m also getting 13´s offline, but online it´s a bit more difficult

 

[Glenalz81]

R8 was at 350-725 GTR was 255-640 SLS was 275-550 these were the settings used on all tracks...for me these cars with that aero is where i like them...the gearboxes never changed either all cars could hit 200+

 

[Glenalz81]

DOH!

 

[Mini Stiggy]

Sheesh, I can't tell you how many times I've read the OP's because I'm bored

 

[P1K3Y_M1k3Y]

Sheesh, I can't tell you how many times I've read the OP's because I'm bored

Well at least you know the rules how many times you read the OLR?

 

[Mini Stiggy]

Well at least you know the rules how many times you read the OLR?

A few, maybe 3 times?
Now you are making me want to go read it again

I do tend to read a lot of pointless things that will most likely do me no good(I'm not talking about the ORL or the rules and regs)
Ex. I recently read all 84 pages of the 2014 LMP 1 requirements
http://www.fia.com/sites/default/fi...ULATIONS LMP1 (2014)-V08-27.09.2013-FINAL.pdf

Here they are if anyone's intersted

 

[P1K3Y_M1k3Y]

Interested, yes, going to read all 84 pages, oh hell no


Need the GT3 set now

 

[AonsoFan46]

I can't race here anymore guys. Somethings come up and I've realised I don't have time to race in 3 leagues anyway. Really sorry to waste your time guys.

 

[P1K3Y_M1k3Y]

Ok no problem.

 

[HMilan21]

I made further testing this morning with the sls at Le Mans, i tried to find a better gear ratio, my ratios wasnt that good, 1-2 was too short, i couldnt use them, i was always accelerating out of corners in 3rd, and my 6th gear was also too long, i had no power to accelerate, and for a good slipstream, and then engine was hitting rev limit also. (so it was too long and too short at once lol )

💡 So, i tested another settings, longer 1-2, now i can use 2nd while accelerating out of the slowest corners, a bit shorter 4-5, and a good balanced 6th, the car has power to accelerate, but still doesnt hit the limiter even under drafting. Max speed i reached was 303 km/h, of course alone on the track.

Best time was 3.48.915, but not perfect, i lost more than 2 tenth once...

So with a total flawless lap i think its 3.48.500 possible.

One thing i'd like to solve is my car is sometimes weaving under braking, making harder to brake more aggressive, i'm trying to fix this problem, maybe it brings 1-2 more tenth.

I also had the same issue on the brakes Milan..if you raise your car 5-10mm front and back..brake balance up 1 and the braking on the diff down slightly...coupled with maybe 25-50 up on the downforce great braking can be achieved..Also was your 3.48.9 set online with tyre wear??

yes it was online with tyre wear My ride height is 70-75, i think its high enough, and i'm already running with 220 front aero, the car has good balance, we'll see how it changes if i raise a little bit more, and yea the brake balance needs a little bit tweaking too. We'll see how it works out maybe tonight 👍
