600PP Rear Wheel Drive Non-Race Car & Tuned Car Super Lap: Apricot Hill Raceway

LM7325 · Feb 9, 2016

@Ed_Night Just amazing. I hope one day I can at least get close to your skills

The California is as easy as the 458, but the 458 is faster.

I tried the BMW M3 GTR and the Alpine VGT. Achieved gold with both cars. On the Alpine i recognized the brakes are very good and the car is very stable.

No love for GSXr/4 in this seasonal? gold time was quite easy with power upgrades.

LM7325 · Feb 10, 2016

Yea the GSXR4 was easier to gold than the Rocket. The Viper GTS concept is another car that will gold almost effortlessly tuned.

Try the X-Bow'R with this tune:Its the Ed_Night tune and its great. After 1K km you have a good chance for a 1.21/High 1.20 lap:tup:

90 65
3,80 7,30

racing brake: 5 / 5

LSD: 8 / 9 / 26

power: install all parts (no oil) @ 94,5% limiter

weight: WR stage 3 + 150kg @ 0% = 900kg

gearbox:
FG: 5,000
Topspeed: 180km/h

Shelby Series 1 and 2010 Camaro both just made easy golds. The Camaro has great weight balance. The Maserati was a good drive also. I added flat floor to push it to 600pp but it doesn't need it.

I saw it and I will try (although I have different style).
If I understand correctly? At first I should set FG=5000, top speed=180, gears (1..) and at the end one more time FG=2600?

Yes.

That's the way I set most cars. I learned it reading many peoples advice on the tuning forums. Easiest way to set a 6 speed. Torque infested cars like a wider spread since they don't need as many gears due to more power under the curve.

You and I are close!

👍

I know... Looks like you improved again, feel I have maybe another .200-.400 in it if I can cleanup my exit onto the main straight. Like this TT for sure.

coryclifford · Feb 10, 2016

I went Ed Night X Bro and got comfy. One click less diff.

I can't seem to get much faster. Don't know how they do it.

lelek_3 · Feb 11, 2016

Kossie
Yes.

after 350km my PB is still 1:22,7xx (yesterday 1:22,781).
I don't know how You do it, to drive faster.
If I use breaks during the curve my car slips... I changed balast (-25%) and then a car is much stable but then I think I can't drive so much fast at the end of the curve.

I guess I will give your diff settings a shot...

This is how I feel chasing you... :boggled:

I'm not a top player / racer. But try to brake later and do not accelerate when you're in a turn. It help me a lot. especially the first two turns are important.

...try to brake later and do not accelerate when you're in a turn.

I realized about first two turns yestarday and once every ten times I drive very quickly. I have many problems with the turn before chicane and with the chicane at the end of the racetrack. Generally I lost 1,5s in the first section and 2s in the third section.
But mate... I will fight with the Apricot

coryclifford · Feb 11, 2016

Believe me, it's no fun to win first try at everything. The struggle is the fun part. Keep at it. 👍

TheInfamousJEW6 · Feb 11, 2016

For anyone wanting to try a different X-bow R tune, I finally finished mine up. It's gotten me into the low 1:22's and another brave soul who tried it made it into the 1:21's. Mind you I'm no alien so this tune is not a "razor's edge" type tune, but a little easier to handle, IMO. :cheers:

Great settings for me. Yesterday I was 1,2s faster than before and now I have 1:21,5...

8l23ub · Feb 13, 2016

Way back in April we had this track for a 550pp F40 super lap.
Using auto transmission and tc the F40 was torturous for me.
Decided that changing the gears myself couldn't be more painfull than the experience I was already having, so had a look around on GTPlanet and found a tune https://www.gtplanet.net/forum/thre...w-seasonal-setups.300860/page-19#post-9742211
from @shaunm80 Exeter Tuning Garage and got me a 1m27.7 at 550pp.
Going to whack this on the F40 and see if I can break the 87 seconds later today

Do You know what time I can achieve (more or less) with these settings ?

Got me another .113 improvement from a 1:20.664 to a now 1:20.551. Getting closer!

Not sure what else I can do to improve other than my exit onto the main straight. Keep loosing .200 or so there. May try playing with ride height (lower in back) and taking the diff settings down a bit.

I think a 1.20 lap is possible(But it also needs a bit of luck), the best players can have a 1.19 lap for sure with the BOW.

That's a great time already! Your a full second ahead of my best time so far... :lol:

But it looks like a 1:20 is well within your grasp! Good Luck!! :cheers:
