8.13.7 with SLS GT3

Right, so, I've been hotlapping the Nürburgring 24H track for about an hour now. My best time so far is an 8.29.6.

I'm wondering if it's possible to get an 8.13.7 (Pole lap for VLN 2011) with this car.

I can definitely find maybe 3 or 4 seconds, but I'm not sure if I can find 16 seconds. Anyone? Lap video would be nice. I don't really tune either. Just adjust brake balance and diff settings.
 
Yes, well, I honestly feel the tuning in this game is wildly unrealistic :grumpy:
Have you looked at tuning guides? They can help. Also I usually just use others tunes and modify them for cars like this because that much downforce is confusing to tune for.
 
I'll try to get a video of my lap + my tuning settings and post it here. Maybe someone can help.

I definitely know where I'm losing time, so, that's a good start. Problem is, I don't know where I'm supposed to gain 12 seconds.

I'll record it with phone. Hopefully doesn't turn out too bad.
 
This time I did was with a tune, I had a couple of mistakes during the race one mistakes where I had to avoid a rabbit on the track and I spun out which cost me a few seconds, I did not do an oil change for this and it was done using my wheel, I could make some changes to the tune to suit my driving style but I don't like the green hell much.

I had my car over 650PP and I had a couple of hundred less rear downforce than what you had on your tune.

Try the car at 685PP and if you change the oil, you will get a 8 minute lap time or better, so why don't you try it with a better tune.

An 8:05-8:08 or even better is definitely possible with racing soft tyres and stock settings...I guess an 8:13 is easily possible with some basic tune with RH tyres but it's pretty tough with stock settings though.

A couple of thoughts on things that look "wrong" on your tune; just gut feel as I'm not near my PS3:
- Set your camber to zero. It doesn't seem to work properly, and is definitely costing you time under braking and acceleration.
- Once you've set your camber to zero, the toe settings need adjusting too. Your rear toe is too high, I suspect you want it around 0.4. Your front toe probably needs to be nearer -0.2. (I would use a high rear toe to reduce power-oversteer, but I never use that much. Your front toe is likely making the car very 'pointy')

At that point, I'd assess whether the car feels unstable at turn-in and under braking. If it does, consider increasing the front spring rate. Most of the really fast guys on here use soft front/hard rear, but with a DS3 I find it makes the car too nervous and I can't react quickly enough to the car's direction changes, so I tend to run a stiffer front.

Next, how does the car feel through the longer, steady-speed corners - does it feel reluctant to turn? Your diff's initial torque looks a bit high, if you're finding it hard to turn then reduce it a couple of steps.

Lastly, it looks you're using maximum downforce all round. I usually find I need to reduce the rear downforce when running maximum front downforce. After you've dropped the rear downforce, check your straight line speed as you may now be bouncing off the rev limiter.

Obviously you could just slap on a big turbo, but I guess you want to keep things at least a little realistic :cheers:
 
Well I managed to get a 8:24 with the stock tune on RH tires, 610pp etc etc, so it's definitely possible with the right tune.

I'm a DS3 driver so i don't know how well this tune would work if you use a wheel.

Suspension:
93 / 95
min / 20.8
1 / 1
1 / 1
7 / 7
0.0 / 0.0
0.0 / 0.0

Brakes:
4 / 7 or 8

Transmission:

I sold my game so i can't help you here. But hopefully this trick will help you


LSD:

X / 8
X / 18
X / 10

Downforce:
max / min

@TNR_KING_FILO

Its a challenge for me i guess! xD

i'll be waiting for your sub 8 minute lap :bowdown: :lol:

But what the deal? Rh or Rs? Stock engine or not?
 
Made a quick tune and got my time up to 8:14.7, no oil change, stock engine and no turbo on RH tires. and then i pushed my steering wheel an inch forward and accidentally hit my ps3's power button and now that tune and the replay is lost forever :banghead:
 
After a bit of suspension fiddling, I'm well on my way to an 8.19 lap. 8.13 might be out of reach without soft tyres. Atleast for me, anyway :grumpy:

E: 8.17.116! And an 8.15.x is definitely in sight! Woo, haven't had this much fun in ages. The SLS GT3 is an absolute joy to drive, thanks to @Litchi's tune. I modified it a little bit and kept the transmission stock-ish.
