A-spec Expert Level British Lightweight: Special Stage Route 5

Fuzzi0n · Mar 11, 2016

Ran it twice with the Elise '96 at the PP limit, full power but with no weight reduction and some ballast. First one I had the Rocket which I won by about 5 seconds, second try with no Rocket was really easy. If you get a field without the Rocket then you'll not have much trouble, even in quite a slow car, the Seven Fireblade has really tall gearing which slows it down a lot. Last try was 8:06, could drop that a bit if I didn't get held up in traffic at the start and while lapping a few cars at the end.

Any premium Elise should do the job, loads of turn in on SH which is really helpful on this track. Fun event.

Tuscan speed 6 1st Place against the Rocket

total 8:13.687 0.457 gap
best lap 1.30 high

this was hard for me ... maybe setup was too stiff but i dont like it too much moving

Elise 96 vs. Rocket
won with 8:11.999 and a gap of 1.283

This one suites me more ... I have to reduce a bit oversteering her and understeering there and this will be good for a 1.29 i guess

UPDATE 8:09.645 best Lap 1.29.1xx and ther is still i bit more for me. I like the Elise

You must be an alien. Please post that MP4-12C tune in which you got an 8:02.xxx (the best that I have done is 8:11.xxx).

Yeah sure once I get it to handle a bit better. It's extremely stable but understeers quite a lot. Definitely capable of times like Cory's but the damn AI like to park the bus :/

Wow. Finally got Gold.
Wasn't as easy as some of the steroid guys said though. They lied. Ran a couple races well.
Tried the Rocket a number of times last night. Most I could make was about 3rd I think.
Then today tried the Seven Fireblade '02 tuned. Was impressed with how zippy it was but still only could manage average 4th.
So then I went back to the Lotus Elise 111R '04 just now with Brewguy44's 500PP tune and added extra power to 520PP and finally got Gold. This time there was no Rocket in the race though. Mainly some Elises and other cars but I'm settling for the win. Go me. Now on to some other Seasonals.

Clenched this running a Rocket at 202hp at the PP limit on the last straight, my tune was literally comprised of Hard suspension, Transmission that ran out of puff at 135 and a reliance mainly on a diff taken well down in sensitivity. Pretty much just ran all 1:31's, could be better but it got the job done.

Very stock like? :scared:

For a person who has no idea what they're tuning maybe I'm just making it worse? :lol:

@Frenzyhero Europa Ey? Sounds difficult as the Triumph. I must try

Stock FC suspension, but zero camber and toe. Fully lightened. Power is at 53.1% and transmission is (reset, then) full left max speed and 2.850 final. Rest is untouched.

Car is awesome once you get in the groove.

I've tried to balance the weight and power a bit so theres still some go maybe your way plus supension is the advantage. Either I love how simple that is! 👍

Try the Suspension from this McLaren MP4-12C '10 (550PP SH) tune it is good 👍.

8.07.9 with Elis 111R very constant laps 1.30.3 - 1.29.8 but not as fast as '96 with similar setup

Svetimas · Mar 12, 2016

Won easily with McLaren F1, 20 sec to 2nd place. 1:31 as 2nd to 5th laps was more that enouth. I believe I was lucky, because I tried rocket - and 1:30.500 finish second at best.

coryclifford · Mar 12, 2016

44 second gap. 31, 28s then a 27 lap.

So close to the 57s I can taste it.

Edit: Guess I decided to skip the 57s altogether.

Freaking fantastic car.

Stock Rocket with 198 kg ballast at position 0 and Stage 3 engine. Runs out of gear on the long straight but otherwise a pretty sweet ride.

Great tip. I was struggling with a stock engine tune, but this makes it easy.

Draggon · Mar 12, 2016

@coryclifford and I can attest to the fact that its not much of a race if the Rocket doesn't show up. I got two 1:27 laps with a best of 1:27.004. The fastest lap for the losing Elise was 1:43 something. Yikes, what a lousy photo :indiff:

My time was 7:58.634 and the Elise was 42.951 seconds behind.

coryclifford · Mar 12, 2016

That's true but now the Rocket rabbit is no sweat either.

I took the exact same McLaren I've been using and did the two S Class enduros, Willow and Apricott and killed em no problem. Pretty sure the computer fears the McLaren.

LM7325 · Mar 13, 2016

I have more fun with the TVRs and the Esprit 350 here, but I am faster with the Rocket and Mclaren. I have tuned the Rocket's engine up and down, I like it best with all the parts and power limiter. Seems to go almost as fast on the straight and pulls better when rpms drop.

CBH · Mar 13, 2016

This race I had the Seven Fireblade and no Rocket, I am trying to get the Seven Fireblade and the Rocket together to see how I go using the Mclaren MP4-12C '10

Me thinks D. Papp and his Rocket are beginning to get weary. Didn't even tune the suspension, just put on racing hard and set the FC gearbox to 155mph. Got a couple laps at 1:29.782 and 1:29.761.

Nice one 👍

I used this Praiano tune for the MP4.

https://www.gtplanet.net/forum/thre...anniv-ed-11-650pp.291084/page-34#post-9202543

Used the suspension only. For me I like the way it corners. Will give this other tune a try also. But hey, any excuse to drive the MP4 again and I'm in.

Draggon · Mar 13, 2016

Passed the Rocket for P-1 just before the start/finish on lap 4. My tune on the MP4 with @coryclifford transmission. I've gotten obsessed and have to call it a night.

Finally got the Rocket '07 and the Seven Fireblade '02 together and won by 20 second. Very strange the other AI times did not show on the board for some reason :odd:
