i was trying 'american championship' (lvl 23) with the corvette zr1 but it cant make any turns on the indy track unless i come almost to a full stop, which makes it impossible to keep up with the other cars, it has about 900hp but the handling is BAD, i performed chasis maintinence but it still doesnt help, any tips on tuning or different cars to use would be appreciated

Make sure you have Racing Soft tires equipped, they'll help immensely.

Also, for future posts, please start using proper grammar (ie. capitalization). It makes posts easier to read.
 
Also, up your down force and raise your speed with the gearing.

But on the downside that car is a pig being front engined. It's a good car just pushy because of the placement.
 
If you've got it fully modded you should be able to run flat out at indy. Default damper settings, -3.5 camber front and rear, geared to run 255 I think.

You should be pulling about 222-224 on the straight, you just need a small 1 second lift entering turn one, and the rest is flat out. Racing soft tires are a must.

If you can't read a post because it has no capital letters or punctuation marks it's time for you to go back to school sir.

Forum Rules, consider that a warning to him. He could have used his mod status and said it in a most unwelcoming way, but he didn't.

OP, try what Slp said, most of the time if you do not use Race tires on a RM car you will get that on ice handling not reflective of their race looks and prowess. If you still have problems turning, then once you add the tires, reset each aid to default, then try driving the car. Then start to tune it how you like it.
 
Authentic, as said, use Race Soft tires.

O/T: Why is it that there are quite a few guys who spend 600K on modifying a car, and are unable to spend 36K on some super-important part as tires are?

Heh no idea. The Racing soft tires are the first thing I buy for any race on dry tarmac. It has more effect than the best tuning / upgrades.
 
You have too much power. It's easier to push a car that has significantly less to more consistent laps, as you're able to brake later and accelerate out of corners earlier and harder with more confidence.

As mentioned, purchase softer tires, increase your downforce, and brake sooner. Accelerate out of the corners with more care to reduce wheelspin. You may have to enable some assists if problems persist.

That car is more than capable of destroying the field with Race - Hard tires and significantly less power with just a little effort.
 
Yea, when I bought it, it came with Sports hard tires. Didn't make sense to me. Also, make sure that the ASM is off.
 
2 things:
1- Install Race Soft tires
2- Maxout the downforce

You should be able to take turns w/o braking that way.

That's what I did for Like The Wind and I had little problems winning against LMPs.

Because most people who play this game don't actually know much about cars. They know what horsepower is, and thats it. They do the modifications that they can visually see their HP increasing. Tires are the most important part of the car, they can instantly increase acceleration, braking, and cornering.
 
Fully modded with Racing Softs you can complete the race in under 4 minutes on a good run. Not bad for 98K and 4.4K Exp. With the Softs and not touching anything other than downforce it will do 217 mph on the straights. I did eventually adjust the speed as hitting the limiter is not good.
 
Tone down the power a bit and use race soft. Unless you are on a [redneck]left turn[/redneck] track, you will not use all of that 1000hp anyways
 
All you really need to do to the fully modded vette is.
1: Soft Race tires
2: Set top speed to 242 or a little higher
3: Set rear toe to 0
4: full Downforce on front 50-75 % of max downforce on rear.

The car will go flat out. If your line is bad you will bump off the wall in the first corner after each straight but not hard enough to cause a problem and if you have the right line you can go around the track clean wide open hitting 224-225 on the straights and turning very low 42 second laps. If you are good and get the right line you can get into the mid-high 41 second range with this setup.

If you are having a problem with the Vette still then I would suggest the Ford GT Spec II LM Race car. It is very easy to get around the track. Not as fast as the vette but more than fast enough.

Could add some negative camber too, ya? But that's my preference. But the person I'm quoting has it right. Just tweak things little by little to find your fit or should I say grip.

Cheers
 
Thanks for all of the tips, but I think there is a problem with GT. When I try to put on the soft racing tires it says that they're already equipped, but then when I go to tune my car it says the the 'comfort hard' tires are equipped, must be a bug or something.

Before you start the race go over to "driving options" and pick Racing Softs from there.
 
My ZR1 RM runs in the 41s consistantly. The main thing is to use full wing on the front and the absolute minimum on the back(crucial). This is to keep the front pinned, any amount of rear wing will increase understeer on this car.

I love the car. One of the nicest to drive on the game, it really feels planted!
 
I bought the ZR1 following advice on how to win Like the Wind at Indy, and agree it's a good car. but i used HARD racing tires: not to save money but because using real-life logic i thought they'd give a slight top-end advantage. Following the same logic i washed the car... jury's still out on whether this has any effect at all. All aids off (natch), downforce maxed F and R, tranny clicked up 2 notches (sorry, don't remember what mph): my standard bonehead first approach to high-speed courses.

I needed to lift just a tad on turns 1 and 3 but still won LTW first time, and if I recall correctly (never a good bet) turned at least one sub 42 sec. lap.

Running clean laps was fairly easy and i'm (very) far from being the best driver in the universe.

After LTW, he Am championship in comparison was a breeze.
