Formual GT World Championship Seasonal

Lambob
another tip, if your high HP cars such as the FGT are oversteering on twisty tracks such as the Nür , try Lowering the Front downforce , don't max it!!

Maxing this is like stepping on a fly's wing, and watch him buzz around in one spot.

a Safe lap, with minimal aggression, easing into troublesome curves, throttle modulation, will yield lap times of
6:45-6:55 very easily. You can catch 1st early in the 2nd lap

Respect you opinion Lambob but the FGT is short on downforce for something with its phenomenal power-weight ratio. I would personally recommend adjusting the LSD first and then suspension. Just my humble opinion.

is it just me or does this seasonal event seem ridiculously easy?

the A-spec FGT Championship seemed so much harder. Seems like the AI are only really going at about 75% through the bends in these races.

Thank god!!

The only event I haven't done in A-spec, pain in the back side :grumpy:
 
i have been using these settings forever. got them from ReikoNagase 👍 and they work like a treat

Downforce: Front 70 Rear 90

Transmission: Top Speed: 390KM/H - 242 Miles pr hour

LSD: 15/45/55

Suspension
Height: 5/5 (10/10 for Bumpy)
Spring Rate 17.4/17.5
Dampers E 8/8
Dampers C 6/6
Roll Bars 7/7
Camber Angle F 2.0 R 1.0
Toe Angle F 0.00 R -0.20

Brakes: Brake balance 4/1

no aids except abs 1

my only advice for nurb
- make sure to put 10/10 suspension height
- if you spin out = giving too much throttle in or coming out of corner
- brake in a straight line before entering corner or you will lose car balance
- the track is narrow, so try to find good/safe places to pass, better to follow a car for a couple of corners than to try to pass immedialtely and lose it touching the edge, as this won't be pretty. the car has plenty of pace to win even without doing close to a perfect lap

i am average so if i can, you probably can do even better.

good luck and hope these help as they did for me

How in the world can these cars be tuned up to 950PP?! I've got mine up to 904 and that's as high as I could get it....

I've golded HSR, got 9th on GVS, and 4th on the Ring. Tried Tokyo last night but I had a few beers before hand and it was just not happening. :p
 
Maybe you should turn a few aids on. Try ABS+TCS on 1 and maybe add your drivers line or skid recovery just to get the races done. You have all gold on license? Wow fair play man, I am nowhere near that.
 
Really one of the most fun seasonal events so far. The Ring and Tokyo races were reeeeaaally tight! Almost no room for error! It was really exciting! :-)
 
I managed to take the lead at Galgenkopf and then I realized we are supposed to run 2 laps. I damn well lost my composure twice during the race and took the weirdest racing lines.

Since I bought the car long time ago I forgot to give it an oil change since I never properly driven it anywhere. I think tuning it would have definitely dampened the stress on me for sure but I couldn't be bothered. The car is pretty much as it came from the dealership.
 
Managed GV last night after quite a few attempts. It is keeping the damn thing on the track is the key (duh) but was having most trouble with downshifts at slow corners (I am an AT muppet). I tweaked 2nd and 3rd gears so there wasn't such a big gap between the two, and that seemed to work a treat.

Or it could just be that I had finally completed enough laps that I managed enough clean laps...

On to the 'ring. Eek!!!

The engine detuner goes all the way down to 50%, doesn't it? So boo hoo if it's not challenging enough for you yet.

And you can still buy comfort tires in spec II. :sly:
 
Did hsr, gv and r246. Tight race on r246 and simply wow.
Was doing flight simulation on eifel with all those up n down. Would be fun if we have mt aso with controlled air time.
Still not making it for the ring. The grass around the ring dun need mowing for the week.

That's odd because I found Grand Valley to be nearly as easy as HSR. I did a lot of coasting around corners in the gear the game I suggested I use and easily won it with about 20 seconds to spare over 2nd place. Just goes to show you that what works for one may not always work for another. With my road course setup I can gently brake and turn at the same time. I actually have more issues with wheel spin on takeoff rather than braking. I'm constantly on/off the gas to get her back up to speed coming off corners so I don't spin out. Seems to work though since I did it on first try.
 
I find this event incredibly difficult on Nurburgring and Tokyo R246. I'll keep trying though. :)
 
IMO Tokyo was the toughest, it might as well have been a completely new course as I never race on it with the reverse layout.
 
Only done GV so far, won by 20+ seconds. Tip is not to push too hard, you are faster than the AI anyway so if you try about 75% you will still win and won't go off track.

IMO I have found that too me the car is near on impossible with a DS3 and you really need a wheel to go fast with it.

Excactly right.

On your 2nd point though, our fastest driver over a lap in the FGTC uses a controller. 6.07 around nurburg 24hr. :) none of us knows how he does it either.

Bloomin hell, I tried earlier this week with a controller and I couldn't keep the car in a straight line if there was any throttle, I got my wheel out this morning and found it is so much easier to modulate steering and throttle. That guy must be superhuman to beat everyone else with a controller.
 
We have no idea either, I was second and with a wheel managed a 6.20. All we know is the stewards watched his every move and no cutting! Oh and his left nipple is exactly the same shape as the Nurburgring ???

:)
 
I used a slightly downtuned Formula GT for HSR with 800 PP on RH´s.

The race was nice but didn´t throw me out of the Seat. :lol:

Next time I may try with less bhp / PP.

Finally finished the lot of them today :) Nurburgring was THE most frustrating thing since the Fiat 500 Expert seasonal...
 
Did Grand Valley and High Speed Ring without much trouble.
On Tokyo I had to race 8 laps before getting to 1st place, this one was harder.
Hate that track in reverse!
I just have to race the Nurburgring, but it says 10 laps... is this correct?
 
It was 2 laps for me :)
 
Thanx :D
That sounds much better ;)
 
10 laps would have been better for 5x the prize! 3 million?
:D
 
For 3 million credits I would race 10 laps, no prob :D
Now I will race the 2 laps for a lot less hehe ;)
 
Just did Tokyo R246, got 1st in lap 6 and won by 3 and so seconds... because of a crappy gear box setting. Trying that time trial in Cape Ring with the FGT realy got me confy with the car :) It's important to go easy on the throttle while you are turning and, while straightening the steering as you come out of the corner, genlty press the throttle. The key is controling the throttle

Throttle control is key 👍 this has been negated a little by the spec 2.0 physics change but its still good practice :)

With a good tune & manual shifting you really haven't to worry much about throttle control. :D

I've got a 1:13,302 (currently #398) with my own tune in the time trail. DS3 here.

Then I went into the Championship & finished all except Nürburgring (messed it 2 times up while trying to overhaul an opponent) in the first try. And with RSoft tires, ABS 1, skid recovery off (and everything else) it was quite challenging & fun. :dopey:👍
 
I am using a DS3 and I suck.

Was having huge problems controlling this car, until I bumped TCS and ABS up to 2, and put sensitivity to 5. I think with 2/2 my best lap is not as good as 1/1, but I can do much more consistent times and rarely go off the track.
 
Coming first at Grand Valley and R246 gave me the confidence to take on the FGT Championship in A-Spec. Said confidence was decimated instantly as I discovered the AI is nowhere near as competitive in the seasonal as it is A-Spec.

Seasonal's good training for the car and the A-Spec event though!
 
Don't like this event very hard for me with ds3 (1 mistake and you're last, if less than 3 laps remaining might as well hit restart), I can't be bothered pulling out the dfgt for 1 seasonal. Please have a roadcar seasonal next time PD. Nearly threw the controller at the nurburgring, hit the ripple strips and your gone.
