WORLD WAGON CHAMPIONSHIP Fridays 17:30 EDT/22:30 BST: CONGRATS TO CHAMPION JOE__KERR/REEFER

[Jeje6410]

Hi Jeje,
I´m looking for a tuning to the Lexus IS300 Sportcross ´01 and Mitsubishi Legnum VR-4 Type V ´98
Would be nice if you could look at those if you have the time.
I suck at tuning cars

PureGT_GOOFY

Hi Team_SWE_1

Hi Jeje6410

Very kind of you to provide your tunes and even do a couple for goofy. However, it might be helpful for goofy if you specify what kind of track(s) your tunes are designed for, ie., for bumpy tracks, flat tracks etc. Or are they general purpose tunes, or for a specific track? This info, along with where the car was tuned, is always useful to have:tup:

 

[Jeje6410]

In the list of tunes cars for the race you can add my tune : Audi RS 6 Avant '08
and Subaru Impreza Sport Wagon STI (Type-l) '00

Good luck and enjoy to drive

Hi @reefer

I try my cars in 3 or 4 tracks that have a lot of maize bumps, turns into pins as Deep Forest, Trial Mountain or Nurburgring Nordschleife . The tracks dishes are not property because you can not see how your car reacts to bumps. From there , your car can go on all circuits . You just have to adjust the final gear on the track.
After that you can not please everyone . This is according to driving but I try to do the best.
Thanks reefer
Good luck

Jeje, as you were kind enough to offer your setups, I thought I'd give one a go and reciprocate with some feedback. Hope that's okay.. think you said feedback was fine?

I tried your Lexus IS 300 Sport Cross '01 tune at Brands Hatch with your suspension and dif settings and my own gearbox, no oil change and standard wheels.

It felt very predictable, well balanced and good under braking if you hit your mark. A nice easy-to-handle solid tune and perfect for running consistent laps. But when going after it I would have liked a little more grip and rotation on and off the power. Some understeer was present which hurt through the faster corners which meant I couldn't push it as much as I would have liked. No late braking or turning in when still on the brakes. I had to brake early to get my line right but could trust the grip when powering out (unlike my Lexus tune which can be a bit twitchy on exit). I think a more aggressive tune is just personal taste really. I prefer my cars set up for TT style racing as it suits my style better.

So, to the lap time: she came home in 1:33.1 (after 10 laps or so of trying with tyre wear off).

I then messed around with my Lexus tune specifically for Brands Hatch and managed a 1:31.3. So there is more grip out there with a track specific tune.

A safe and solid tune Jeje

Hi reefer

Thank you very much for trying to have the Lexus and explain its attitude on Brands Hatch .👍


As I have told you just now it's hard to make cars that satisfy everyone. I make cars especially for my pleasure. And after so drivers like this style better. In any case I do not blame you for having me explain this. I myself am not a very good driver . You see you turn in 1'33'1 and I 'm only 1'34 ". You are better
I do not know if I understood ( because I use a translator. My English is poor) but I still thank you once again

Best regards @reefer

 

[Team_SWE_1]

Much appreciated that you delivered the tunings so fast 👍
I will try them out later in the week.

Thank you again

Hi Team_SWE_1
Please. It was a pleasure to do so. I hope it will go. Especially you do not hesitate to tell me if something is wrong.
Thanks

 

[IfAndOr]

All this tuning! I usually just pick a car on the day then jump in it and drive. Which is probably why I'm at the back.

I will also give your setups a try out Jeje. 👍
They can't make me slower.



Note Joe that Jeje uses a controller, so maybe that is why wheel users may feel different grip levels.

Hi IfAndOr
Thanks if you will try its. Yes I use a DS3 and it's right that it's sometimes maybe different than a wheel. But sometimes no.
Thanks again IfAndOr

Thing is Paul, everyone here knows that you're a top 2 runner and, when you want, you can really turn on the style. One can only guess what lap times you'd do if you had more practice time and worked on your tunes a bit.

 

[IfAndOr]

Top 2 runner hmm, maybe if there's a low turnout.

Turning on the style, well I always race in a top hat and tails*.


*Flame retardant of course.

Round 22/23 (May 27) - Daytona Road (Night/Day)

Looks like you can't change the time/weather settings at Daytona Road

 

[IfAndOr]

Are there not two versions of the track, both a fixed and variable? I've definitely raced at night there. I remember it has a nice sunset & sunrise.

 

[reefer]

Goodman Paul, where would we be without you! Just checked and yes it's possible (to run at night unfortunately).

 

[bloodyboyblue]

Yes there's been too many 24 hour races there to not have it available. It's well-lit at least

 

[IfAndOr]

It's not going to slow you down.

As Blue says it's quite nicely lit. The infield is a little darker in places however. Me and Jocke will drive around at the back looking at the stars.


Note to all - practice your starts. The banking can cause start line chaos at Daytona. 2nd gear is a good plan.

Good preparation Paul, but Daytona is still 3 weeks away. Also I approve of your use of one of Canada's national treasures as your avatar

I know! And it looks like Joe is already planning/practising for it.

Ah, Caillou.

 

[reefer]

Only been on Daytona Road once or twice so thought I'd better give it a look see.

Just looking at the dark slows me down👍

 

[jammy21]

I'll be using Audi RS6 '02 and Mitsu Legnum '98 tonight.

 

[bloodyboyblue]

Room open

 

[IfAndOr]

Sorry, I wasn't able to make it tonight. Next time hopefully.

Hope you had a good one.

Hope you make the next one buddy.

 

[JockeP22]

It was good last night, I had enough credits to set the car up this time around,
unlike Willow Springs where I ran out of credits after buying the car.
I couldn't even afford the sport softs (I believe I was on hards the entire race)
or get all engine parts needed. The result ended up as being 7 laps down on Joe
after 50 minutes.

Brands yesterday was different. I could taste that final podium spot in the first
race and it was cool trailing blue & Goofy for most of the time.

I thought I was last in the second race Blue.

Wherever we finished it was a nice battle, Tom.

I guess you changed positions After I took a picture of the results. That did move Jocke up a position in the points since him, Suts and Paul are all so close.
