So now you got yourself a channel....should we subscribe? I could fit you in between Vsauce and minutephysics
. Bit scrappy that, I bet you could do it faster if you weren't so heavy in the corners. Think I'll take you on too 
You should consider adding kph to the tunings. I know it's easy to google (124 mph in kph (= 199.6)) but you seem so thorough....A bit later....Buggrit....I'd staged 3 the blighter. Used a Restoration ticket thinking it would return it to its original state. It just reset the odometer. Damn and damn. Anyone want to trade one with me? I got lots of tickets. I'll give you a 1000 ticket for it or an SLR McLaren '03 ticket? (for a Honda TAKATA DOME NSX ‘03)

Shoot me a friend request, I'll send the Takata over for a 1000 ticket.
Last night I actually spent about an hour tweaking the Takata Setup, as the tune was built before the 2.09 update and needs some caressing. I'm trying to come up with a new tune sheet, so I'll definitely take 'kph' into consideration. As for the Channel... I'd like to do more video's, I'm just not quite sure what people are interested in. Once I get the tune tweaked to my liking, I'll probably retry the event at 208pp. The 210 try above, was a first attempt success, so I assume I could go lower, and try to have a mistake free race, I just didn't see the need at the time.
Edit: Just realized I can't send the Takata until late tonight, but I can use one of the other PS3 and accounts to send the Mobil One now, and then I'll send the Takata tonight once the timer is up, so you can have both.

Thanks. Sent.
Had to restart the game to update the in-game friends list. Sending the ticket now. Thanks again

Got it, I'll shoot you another FR from my 2nd or 3rd PS3, and send the Mobil 1 right now.
Sent the Mobil 1 with my current setup as of last night.
For the Seasonal, the LSD will be too aggressive, because of the Racing Hard tires.
Try a 9/9/7 instead.

If you had the carbon one I would love to use it. But alas PD did not make that one DLC - so the one I have already will just have to do.

I don't think they are sharable. You can put them up for share, but nobody can use them. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I thought I tried this before. I put a fully tuned and broken in one on share so I could use it on my GTP account, but it wouldn't let me use it.

Talked to Praiano about an hour ago (requesting his '06 tune) and he said:
How much would you say that advantage was? (And do you agree?).

Oh right, I've seen one on share on a friends account the other day, but never thought to see if it would let me borrow it as I already have it anyway.
Strange that they let you put it online but not let anyone borrow it.

I'm about to get in on this cock fight. Lowered mine down to 510 PP but looking at Adrenaline's tune, he seems to have 5 more HP than I do at the same PP level. Any idea what I'm overlooking here. Mine is fully broken in btw.
How many miles does your car have on it Adrenaline?
EDIT: Ok, I just took off 5% Aero on both front and back which enabled me to reach his 510pp, 175 hp. Still doesn't match his tune tho as he has full aero so still kina baffled here. The gears arn't matching either. What kind of voodoo magic tuning are you doing Adrenaline? lol.

You're right. I tried it from my daughter's account. Well now I have 3 HSV's...hmmm. Well it was the thought that counted :-)

I agree to a point. It mainly has to do with a conflict between how the real world JGTC works, and how the game calculates PP.
In the JGTC series, the faster a car is, the more weight they add. (I don't know the exact rules, but you get the point.) As you can see the Takata is 1170kg, meaning they added weight to the car a few times, to level the playing field. Thus, the Takata at 1170kg in real life(7 wins???), was still competitive with the cars at 1100kg.
So, a heavier car, was just as fast as the lighter cars, right?
Now, transfer these specs into the game, and clearly the heavier car, will have a lower PP, due to the calculation. Thus, you can add more power and gain an advantage.
This is why the competitive GT500 rooms, use power/weight limitations and not PP.
The issue, is that the Weider has removed any advantage the Takata had, and for most people, the Weider is faster, regardless of PP or Weight/Power restriction.
I can't seem to find the data for the 03 Takata specs, wins etc, so if someone wants to enlighten me?

Ah, ok, thats the difference then. I'm going to try it anyway with the 10% aero difference. Whats the top speed before redline on this track with this car.
Also, did you do the 3rd stage engine upgrade or are you running any turbos.
- 3,359

- PumpinNumbies
3rd Engine Stage, no turbo.
Although I just noticed if I hop in my other Takata, that has no Engine Tuning, I can more easily reach the numbers. Honestly, anyone who uses Manual should easily be able to beat me. The Takata's power band is not very AT friendly.

Yea, I just put the 3rd stage engine mod and now it won't let me go below 514 PP @ 282 HP. I'm going to have to put more miles on mine to dirty up the oil in order to match your PP and HP figures.

Out of curiosity I just ran my other car without the Engine Stages, at 507pp.
I'm not sure if it's because I was against the Xanavi GT-R this time, but I won with a total time of 9.25.282 and +1.407 gap.
Seems that max downforce is not needed at this lower HP, and you can gain some HP, by cutting downforce. I used 30/50, 275hp (56.6%).
Gunna try at 505pp next in preparation for your oncoming challenge. 👍

Well, like I said, right now the lowest I can go is 514pp @ 282hp until I put more miles on the car to get the pp to drop unless I can get another car and try something different.

Was successful at 505pp, with 25/48, but it's a battle for the lead.
Take the lead on the turn before the straight, GTR passes you down the straight, and you have to overtake them on the final turn and race to the line.
Gunna try a few more with less Aero and see how low I can go.
But I definitely recommend using a Non-Engine Upgraded version. (It seems?)

Using these numbers and the same lineup, first try I got beat by 3 seconds. I believe this is due to my lack of racing experience and lack of skill at passing other cars. ( I run TT events and very, very rarely do I do any actual racing) This id definately doable tho for me with a couple more runs getting more practice at making clean passes. There was a couple spots where I know I lost more than the 3 seconds trying to make clean passes so I know I can do this. You know me Adrenaline, I don't quit until the goal is accomplished....and beyond.
I'll report back when I've been successful. And thanks Adrenaline, you've made these fun for me again having someone clean and fair to compete with with no training wheels involved.

Just a heads up... I'm in the 49x
As I've said since my initial post, as long as you average low 56's(after lap 1), you should make it.

Whats 49x ?
EDIT: No friggin wonder, I just realized Traction Control was set to 5, lol. Alright, watch this, i'm done f'ing around.

Sub-500 PP levels.
498 was my last victory. I'm pretty sure I can do 495 if I run a perfect race. 0/3 so far. When(if) I win at 495, that'll be my final attempt, as it appears to be my personal limit.

Ah, ok. Now that I got traction control turned of, I came within .963 of beating him. Running easy 56s.when I don't have to contend with traffic.
Seems the Takato Dome is the car for this track and that Adrenaline's tune is the one to use.
Would appreciate it if you would post it so I can give it a try.
And CargoRat said;
"And thanks Adrenaline, you've made these fun for me again having someone clean and fair to compete with with no training wheels involved."
Is there someone here who does not race, 'clean and fair'? Using SRF incidentally is a legal option for those who want to, like yourself, have some fun here.
But you have directed that backhand slur at myself and I note it.
I would add though that without my direct input here regarding winning with the lowest PP, you and some others (who had issues about using SRF) would not now be enjoying yourselves attempting to get as low as possible.
Seems I can't buy a Takata Dome NSX '03 anywhere, only the '06. Would you consider lending me yours Adrenaline?

Sorry my man, but these sort of competitions (seeing how low you could go) were going on long before you came along, so don't break your arm patting yourself on the back. Furthermore, my "clean and fair" and "training wheels" comments were not aimed at you personally, but to the general population that chooses to run that way. As I said before, I don't usually partake in these types of competitions as I stick to time trial events, but beings I have found somebody that runs the way I do, it is fun. So, you really need to get over yourself, I think you're giving yourself way to much credit. Now, if you wanna join in and run under the same conditions the majority of us do, then so be it. I've already gave my opinion about SRF, so I'm not going to go down that road again but I will say this. I will never acknowledge any accomplishments with SRF on for the reasons I've stated before. Thats just how I feel about the matter and I can almost guarrantee that if you ask any veterans of the game, they will all feel the same way. The only ones that really favor SRF are new people to the game or people with a lesser skill set who have trouble negotiating their way through the game. And if the shoe fits... There is nothing wrong with that and I don't look down on those people. Its when you use it and then brag about your accomplishments while using it. That is my personal feelings on the matter and if that hurts your pride or ego, then I'm sorry. I hope I've made myself clear on the matter.

I always enjoy practicing this. In an online room, if I am pulling away from the rest of the field, I will purposely park off track and let the other racers through, so that I can give chase and practice my overtaking/alternate race line maneuvers all over again, plus I find it a lot more fun than the 'running a time trial' feel if way up in 1st place.
I know you said you don't race very often CargoRat, but if you'd like to, we could practice together in one of our lounges. In things like Motorsports, you never stop learning.

Never claimed I invented trying to get the lowest PP in the Seasonals, I made the correct statement that without my direct input into this one, via the SRF/advantage discussion, we likely would not be here today putting up our lowest times.
Remember I challenged Adrenaline to beat my 510PP (with SRF) and after some prodding he accepted.
After that I also dropped SRF and achieved 530PP quite easily, albeit not 510PP, yet.
However your "clean and fair" and "training wheels" comments were directed at me and no back peddling now will change that.
And finally, why is it acceptable to brag about not using SRF amongst those who do not use it, yet it is not acceptable for those who do use it to do so amongst themselves?
