[CBH]

Put me down as a tuner please 👍.

 

[Ridox2JZGTE]

ANYONE WHO CANNOT ABIDE BY THIS RULE WILL BE GIVEN A FREE INVITATION TO LEAVE THE THREAD.



Interesting gear ratio control, what about the rear diff, spool on V8 Supercars ? Maybe I will be a tuner, let's see if my old replica with spool and heaps of camber can do decent lap at Bathurst

Usual suspect post to let everyone know of the launch of a new challenge.
Good luck gentlemen, play nice and have fun.
I am co-Hosting with @Pete05 due to time zone differences, so please feel free to contact me if you have questions about the challenge, or concerns.

 

[CBH]

Are we going to use Racing Hard tyres for this ?.

 

[Otaliema]

Are we going to use Racing Hard tyres for this ?.

Yep.

In regards to power parts. Only an oil change. No turbos., No PL use.
Gearbox is required.

what about the rear diff, spool on V8 Supercars ?

Leaving that open to tuning, as a fully locked diff may be a bit hard on the testers using []/X on a DS3

 

[CBH]

Yep.

Thank you 👍.

 

[OdeFinn]

@Pete05 sign me up as tuner at least, will check testing part later, probably for that too.
Good choice for transmission, my tune didn't have that, it had other replica, just because of small tweaks to do on that real V8 tranny, this toke my car on quick three lap test to 2:04.912

Already have you in loaded sir. I assumed you wanted in as you posted a vid of your car

 

[NoirAntares]

The Speed Factory is up for tuning in this one, this is gonna be good. Very nice idea right here!

The spool diff is something I really had to think about.
Yes, in V8 Supercar land they run a spool arrangement meaning they then have to tune the suspension and braking bias to make the car like the bendy bits.
The technique required in order to make one of these cars lap quickly is to brake right down to the apex using the bias to help rotate the car. This is followed by delicate part throttle until virtually pointing where you want to go when you can go 100% throttle. Take care of the tyres though, these cars are heavy beasts.
It's these things combined that have puzzled the very best International drivers with only a few being able to adapt to a Supercar with competitive speed.

If anyone can make a competive tune with 60/60/60 diff settings, they'll earn bonus points from me that's for sure.

Ok, I'll do alternative tune for that, but just for fun, not for compo.. Maybe, if it's faster than current then maybe entering with that..

Spoiler: sneak peak into my GT6 garage tools

Proving real-life physics theory to GT6, one early part of it.. From these simple formulas are breed of several other and followed lot of more..

That's exactly what I have on my build. like my RAM 1500 with rear spool 60/60/60

It also have more than 1400kg weight for AU V8 SC, 60/40 weight distribution ( not changeable in real ) ( this was on GT5 build )

From what I know, even with front full bias on real V8 SC, the rear can still lock ( with no servo on AU ) and as it ran on spool, it won't lock on one rear wheel only.

I missed those V8 SC weekends live on local Sydney TV

 

[coryclifford]

Tuner please.

 

[Bowtie-muscle]

I will see if I can put a competitive tune together, life will leave me short on time this month. And I never seem to be fast enough at Bathurst. Testing will not be possible.

 

[Otaliema]

Tuner please.

Already one step ahead of you sir 👍

Here is to hoping you can put one together for this one.
Added to the list.

 

[Bass Addict]

I am down for a tester but I am leaving for three weeks on vacation starting June 2nd so I will need to test these tunes as they are posted...

 

[shaunm80]

Put me down as tuner only for this one. I look forward to getting to grips with this track once again.

 

[MrGrado]

Tuner and tester please.

Noted. Tunes posted will be final, so once it's up it's clear to run.

Sounds like a plan to me.

Tuner and tester please.

Aswome sir. Thank you.

 

[Ridox2JZGTE]

Just remembered the last time I drove at Bathurst was with Mclaren F1 GTR Team Goh/Lark JGTC build, it was so much fun, clocking 2:08s on super stiff springs and SH tire

 

[Dashyankuro]

Tuner please, thanks.

 

[coryclifford]

I meant to hit you up @Dashyankuro, glad you found it and signed up.

 

[Dashyankuro]

Got hit.. Ouch! How hard can it be; will just google up in 5mins for good tune
