Cheers for sharing the setup, I used my own which is completly different lol.

I tried all sorts of settings but I could not get any lower then 1.00.6 with no aids on. Wacked on recovery and 59 mids consistent without to much sweat...kinda ruined the challenge but glad I got it over with. Did 5 tries total.
 
Thanks so much jbrennen. :) 👍
I'll give this a go this afternoon...
My first attempt at a set-up (mine :) ) yielded a fun drift run....:lol:
The thing was sooo sideways all the way around, I had no chance of catching 1st. :lol:
 
Exactly the info i was looking for. I bought the used RX-7 Bath R but didn't have the heart to molest it with the other weight reduction stuff....went with the new Spirit R. Was running 1:02. Just got the new tranny. Let me get a couple of seconds off each lap and see how it goes. 👍
 
excuse me but what is this skid recovery/ skid control that everyone is talking about:drool:
where to switch it on??

I´m running 1:01:xxx, sometimes 1:00:xxx still about 7 sec behind that scrappy M.N.P skyline :yuck:

by the way:
Suspension settings:
Ride Height : -10 / -10
Spring Rate : 12.6 / 9.5
Dampers (E) : 5 / 6
Dampers (C) : 5 / 6
Anti-Roll Bars : 3 / 4
Camber : 2.5 / 1.5

wouldn't camber @ 3.0 / 2.0 give you more cornering speed?

The "skid recovery" is, I think..first option in the race settings. :) Where you can alter tyre choice, traction control and other options. ;)
Helps immensely. 👍

BTW, completed this morning, got passed 1st pace during the last lap under the Dunlop bridge. :) Was easy from there.

I won this first try. I did have Skid Recovery on, though. Was able to lap consistently around 60 seconds, best lap was about a 59.4.



I used the '02 RX-7 Spirit R Type A (FD) from the new car dealership.

Mods:
All weight reduction: Stage 3, window, hood
Chassis Reinforcement
ECU, Stage 3 engine tune
Sports Intake Manifold
Sports Exhaust Manifold
Sports Catalytic Converter
Sports Exhaust
Custom Transmission
Twin-plate clutch
Semi-racing flywheel
Adjustable LSD
Carbon driveshaft
Custom Suspension

Settings:
Aero : 0 (didn't realize the car came with aero kit, so didn't touch it)
Transmission: top speed 240 km/h (about 149 MPH?)
LSD : 40/60/5
Brakes : default (5/5)

Suspension settings:
Ride Height : -10 / -10
Spring Rate : 12.6 / 9.5
Dampers (E) : 5 / 6
Dampers (C) : 5 / 6
Anti-Roll Bars : 3 / 4
Camber : 2.5 / 1.5
Toe : 0.00 / 0.10


EDIT: Without Skid Recovery, and with these settings, I was able to get a 1:01.7 after a few laps of practice, and I think I could get into the low 1:01s with a little more practice. Which probably wouldn't be enough to win this race... If somebody can win it without Skid Recovery on, my hat is off to you... :) That matches up well with what JacobN posted a few posts ago, that Skid Recovery is probably worth about 2 sec per lap.

Set your top speed to 220 instead of 240. I have a similar set-up, except for the clutch, the flywheel and I don't have a LSD. I also have all assists off except for ABS to 1. I can do regular laps of about 0:59:500, making you overtake the leader at first corner of lap 10. The leader loses a lot of time in his final laps because of traffic, so you gain a lot of time on him there. I also noticed that fiddling around with the camber really helps setting quicker laps as you have more grip in the long corners.
 
I'm in the same boat as most here at the beginning of the threat, about 10-15 seconds off the lead. I'm using a controller so I can't see myself getting the gold, but when my second 24 hour race is over tonight I may try these settings.

Anyone got the Focus event golded? I take about 4-5 seconds a lap off the leader for the first 2 laps, then the 05 Focus takes the lead and I can only get 1 second a lap...
 
Ijust went to this race and it says there are no restrictons on HP or tires? did this come with the season 3 update?
