This garage can now be found here:
Clueless, over The Hill Outlaws - GT6 Tunes

High above GT Land, there is a Hill. All the great tracks and the great garages can be seen from here. The air is crisp and fresh, the sun bright and warm. A gentle breeze carries the sound of internal combustion engines being wrung within an inch of their lives.

Grab a glass of iced OJ, pull up a chair and enjoy the view...

Tuner Comments:

Original car at http://www.revmods.com/hks-suzuki-swift-sport/

This car is built as close to the HKS Kansai Suzuki Swift Sport as I could get it. Carbon, wheels, paint even the suspension. I also took the liberty of doing all the pipework underneath, chipped it and threw in a low RPM turbo.

I could have stripped more weight out, I could have added more power, but I resisted. The original hasn't had anything done under the hood, and boosting power to only 180bhp seemed reasonable.

Obviously I don't have any PSN at the moment, so I've only been able to test this offline. I ran a one make, two lap race around the 'Ring in it, tyre wear on, grip reduction set to real. I posted a mid 08:2x on the out lap and a low 08:2x on the fast lap, in better hands than mine, I'm sure it can go quicker.

Tuner Comments:

This car was built to grind the K-Series Seasonal Events. It's capable of putting in consistent sub 0.59sec laps around Eifel 104A and is a great chuckle. A mate of mine is running this with racing slicks and he's apparently put in some 0.55s with it. I think it drives just fine on Sport tyres, it may even drive ok on Comforts. You'll make your money back very quickly with this car, assuming they fix the PSN in the meantime...

I'll also start adding some power and testing on different tracks.

Revised Edition of the HKS Kansai Suzuki Swift Sport, designed for enjoyably close racing around the Tokyo R246 and Tokyo Bay 107A tracks in the World Compact Car Seasonals. If you have a sloppy lap around either of these tracks, don't expect to come 1st. Around the Bay track, the margin is only 2-3secs, which at these speeds you can easily loose in traffic. Enjoy...

A little bit of Seasonal fun. This car is completely stock, other than a set of Sport Hard tyres and some custom springs. You should be able to pull off the win on most of the events, but you'll be tested on the Clubman SSR5.

A quick build for RVR's 1st Annual 525PP European Car Shootout!!! Lots of weight added, but this actually brings the car in line with the real thing. I'm not sure about gears on the best of days, this one is a mess. I can't get anything like the real world settings for it, which is a shame, because a lot of this car is based off of a friend's car.

The actual car I used will be kindly shared by OnBoy123...

Hello my friend.
I needed 25 minutes to learn the secrets of this car.
First it was a big oversteer, allways trying to stay on the driving line, wrong way if you want to fight against the car. Te solution is stay on the perfect line, with very smooth mvt on the wheel, brake and acell. The most important is to limit the weight tranfer.
At the end i was able to run 1'32"832. Possible for me a low 1'32"xxx ,but just in case of perfect lap and trajectory.
Fun to drive ,very good pilot car, to learn precision driving..

Congrats, have a good week-end.

Hi Praiano,

Thank you for the above, I appreciate the feedback. Sorry for the slow reply, I’ve had some internet issues. Boy do they make them quick in your neighbourhood..!! There’s no slowing you Brazilians down is there..?? A 1:32 is a brilliant time with this wee little motor.

I’m glad you took the time to get to know the car, I hope you enjoyed driving it. Your description of how to handle it is exactly right, minimal inputs and carry as much speed as you can.

I believe had this car been implemented correctly by Polyphony, it would be the Supercar killer it is in real life. The model chosen by PD is rare and obscure, and I believe they got the weight and the gearbox wrong. They’d have been better off replicating the normal Caterham Superlight or even the CSR.

You can find some information on these cars here; http://www.caterham.co.uk/assets/html/showroom/superlightr500.html
You’ll notice that not one of them is even close to the 396kg of the Caterham in GT5. And you’ve no chance of replicating the gear ratios listed. Shame.

Speaking of gearboxes and ratios, I used your method for this car. I didn’t have enough time to tailor it specifically to the track. Did you find the gears long enough for the start/finish straight?? As an auto shifter, I set the top end to arrive just as I braked for the hairpin. It did occur to me that faster drivers might hit the limit before this corner.

Once again, thank you kindly Sir,

You're welcome my friend, drive your car is a great pleasure. For the gears i don't rememer exactly but it was fine. For the cork screw ,don't need to hit the limit , no late braking too, just stay on the right till the last little panel and dive in the screw with soft and steady movements on the direction, don't loose the rear after the compression downhill.
There is some vid on the tube to check how the best racers do, very educative.
Have a good day. Let's race this carterham online this week end with some other people...👍👍:)
 
Tuner Comments:

Built for the "600 PP Road Car Shootout @ Indy". I will be hosting the car myself, so please send me a FR if you haven't already. PM me here if I haven't replied to a request.

This is a heavy, leery beast, much like the Caterham, it spends its life within milliseconds of pandemonium. I concentrated on the Road Course and tuned there almost exclusively. I figured if I could make the final corner of the Road Course at speed, then it would fair well enough at the Oval. Time will tell. I've personally put this around the Road Course in 1:29.6.

Don't turn your back on this car, it'll likely club you around the head if you do ... you have been warned ... :mischievous:

Inspired by THIS, have you got what it takes to lap the Nordschleife in 07:14?? With a remapped ECU, less weight, stickier tyres and a custom gearbox, this LFA has been built for the Nordschleife. Don't forget this car doesn't have the downforce that the real one does and it still weighs a slightly portly 1370kg, so exercise caution!!

FRONT-WHEEL DRIVE: I’ve left discussion of this until this point because you need to understand left-foot braking and handbrakes to understand an interesting aspect of FWD rally cars and why they can be very fast: with FWD, left-foot braking can work like a handbrake, without the disadvantage of not shifting weight forward. Confused? Think of it this way: using the throttle and brake at the same time on a FWD car is exactly the opposite of doing a brakestand with a RWD car: with FWD you can keep the front wheels spinning (with the engine overpowering the brakes) and slow down or lock up the rears. So as you enter a corner and want to initiate a slide, you can turn the direction you want to go and then apply the brakes while you hold the throttle – the weight will transfer forward (better than with the handbrake, as the front wheels will slow down a little) and your left foot now has control over the speed differential between the front and rear wheels. You can pretty much make a FWD car turn around its nose this way, and this is the reason that no FWD rally car should ever have to worry about understeer. With my ex-factory Lada, you would basically never lift the throttle and just use the brake according to how tight any corner was. It was fantastic. And it’s why many front-wheel drive cars from the Saab 96 to the Mini Cooper to the VW Golf have been great rally cars, and on slippery surfaces far superior to their RWD competition. Now you know.

Just used the above Pug 206 S16 for the Seasonal Tsukuba Time Trial, good for low 1:11 laps on Comfort Medium tyres. It's a bit of a handful and far from perfect, but hey, Cr1mil is Cr1mil.

As of writing I hit a 1:11.294 and was a massively impressive 11832nd in THE WURLDZ :sly:

For those of you on my FR list, I'll whack it back up on share in a sec, so you don't even have to build the car yourself. There's a 206 RC there that'll get round in a similar time. Enjoy...

Tuner Comments:
Built for the 1st Annual Fall Roadster Battle! - I am currrently sharing this car.

A car your Wife can drive to work during the week and you can thrash at the track on the weekend.

There's more motion in the suspension than most will be used to or expecting. This is a Sports build, not a Race build. Going into the hairpins, start your braking sooner rather than later, lift through the apex and get on it as soon as you dare. Through the chicanes, there should be plenty of grip, but push it too hard and it will start to wobble and the rear will break away from you.

I hope you'll find it a forgiving car, if not the fastest...

It's Seasonal time again..!! I've resisted posting here as I had to convince myself that I had put Sport Hard tyres on the damned thing and not Sport Softs..!! Turns out I had :sly: It can win at any track, although I've yet to encounter the '05 Mini at Fuji. Enjoy...
