who has the lowest target time for the mustangs so far?Only have about 45 minutes in on the Mustangs, and that is a quick tune on each. Have a base lap to start from with each but I am 90% sure I have picked the one I will use, it ran a 1:18.181 and I believe there is a little more for me after watching Legits crash.
I do need to paint it though, currently has white stripes.
Have you tried yet what I described for the last turn? I believe the most time is gained or lost in the first and final turns. You can make up a little in the esses but easier to lose it over shooting the final. Try it and see if it works for you, or if it's just me.If your goal is to use about half the parts than 625 is a good target range, if a super charger is used than it's about half the parts at race/stage 3, if no super charger is used than it's all the parts at race/stage 3, 615 would force use of about half the parts at level 1 or 2 or just a super charger and one or two others, 600 would force use of only a couple of upgrades or just the super charger with about 5% PL use.
In terms of top speed on Daytona RC, Definitions Back; Exit of infield to chicane. Front; chicane exit to T1. Infield; Hairpin 1 to Left hander.
625 Back 330 km/h / 205 mph Front 341 km/h / 211 mph Infield 234 km/h 142 mpn
650 Back 350 km/h / 217 mph Front 359 km/h / 223 mph Infield 239 km/h / 148 mph
Just helped the testers driver your car faster too ya know, and if your tuned to handle the curb hits than you will be faster....as you pointed out that's the fastest around the track so any tuner that posting low times has probability figured that out too........maybe
, I did, I noticed I could exit at 88-95 km/h vrs 70-75 km/h from turn three making about a 2 tenths difference in sector one. 👍
I'm actually high 16's now but according to the motegi times, I think I'm just a little bit better driver (not gloating). So I wouldn't try to aim for my times. My base lap that cemented my car choice was a high 17. So if you've taken a second from your base lap then you are on the right track 👍
Yep been doing that too, my time loses are coming in the sweeping left hander and wall taps.
good to know 👍
As a tester for the GT class, but not a tuner. I will build a quick one at 650pp and report back............👍
Looking at the testers who are currently signed up for the GT40, I think those boys share the same philosophy as me...we'll drive the wheels off of anything we get the keys too!
If the Miatas in the mountains didn't scare us away, nothing will. Due to me not even getting in a GT40 yet, I couldn't say if it's too much, but I agree with the installing half of the available parts. That gives all sorts of variations with parts that alter torque and RPM's, that's a great way to set a challenge. Since @brian wolf is doing a quick test, put me down to go along with his vote.
👍
@Motor City Hami 650PP is pretty much maxed out and great fun!! But doesn`t leave a lot of scope for differing power tuning. Any drivability problems I had came from unfamiliar racing tyres and rusty track knowledge!
If you want the PP to be using half the tuning parts then its 625PP.
My 2p is that 625PP will give more scope for tuners to "work their magic" and will be only bit less bonkers!
My 2 cents if I may, tentative tester for this class, because I feel my weakness is MR cars. If I can test, and I am hoping too, will test whatever you throw out there. May not be the fastest, but will always do my best to give each tune the best shot possible.FITT players are absolutely awesome! Look at the feedback. "I think this --------, but whatever we do is fine. There is not a better community anywhere in the video game world.
Congratulations on the upcoming wedding. I hope it all goes well for you. Enjoy every part of your wedding day because it seems to fly by.
Don't sell yourself short bro.
Has anyone tuned the Mustang V8 GT Coupe '07 yet...if so what sort of times are you getting on Big Willow...
Ford Mustang Challenge
I wanted limited car choices across the classes. The Focus Challenge puts two fantastic and affordable cars against each other, head-to-head. The Ford GT Challenge holds everyone to one choice. For this Mustang Challenge, I wanted to open up the field just a little bit. There are three choices. The difficult part about this challenge will be deciding which to choose. Do you choose the high HP rating of the Shelby and carry all of that extra weight? Or do you pick the handling capability of the Boss 302? Or do you try the 2007 Coupe, which is a bit of a wild card; pretty good across the board, but not really great at any one thing? It will be interesting to see the choices.
Eligible Cars:
2013 Mustang Shelby GT500
2013 Mustang Boss 302
2007 Mustang V8 GT Coupe
Track: Willow Springs Big Willow 2.46 miles
The rationale for this track selection was to take American Muscle to an American track that would allow for some medium speed and high speed sections with a only handful of tight, twisty bits. If you would like to grind for cash while you tune for this event, try the International B event Tour of America: Race 1
Allowed Parts:
550 PP
Sport Soft Tires
All tuning parts not on the banned are list allowed
Banned Parts:
No Oil Changes
No Body Rigidity
No Engine Overhaul
No Flat Floors
No Nitrous Oxide
Scoring:
Lap time and driver’s choice as separate podiums. See scoring points method in post #7.
Deadlines:
Tunes are due Tuesday, October 7th at midnight, wherever midnight is in your part of the planet. I tend to wake up around 6:30 am Eastern Standard Time so pretty much have your tune posted before I get to the computer on Wednesday morning.
Test driver results are due Sunday, October 19th at midnight, wherever midnight is in your part of the planet. Testing is to be done in time trial mode using ABS 1 and grip reduction set to real. Please post your results and feedback within this forum.
have fun with the car but don't stay up too late don't want to look like a zombie at your wedding
Congratulations, enjoy it, live it love her, and don't go to bed angry.
