Speaking of the urus: the car only makes 2 laps at the nordschleife (24h layout)with a fuelrate of x1?!

Assuming a 75L fuel tank, that's approaching 150L/100km, or 1.56 miles per US gallon :lol:. I'll have to check that out later, that's nuts.
 
I tried the Audi R8 V10 plus and it seems pretty unstable for an all-wheel drive car, like as if it tries to violently twist its body as it shifts its weight from corner to corner. The end result was 6:44.431 stock around the Nordschleife with Racing: Soft tires.

This thing seems harder to drive than even the Lamborghini Murcielago LP 640.

Still yet to try out the Toyota GT-One though, although I'm not optimistic about its lap time. Don't get me wrong though, it's an amazing car, but you know my opinions already.

Ever heard of Ferrari 2+2 cars? Practical, beautiful and high-performing vehicles that worked fine sticking to ground level. Lamborghini Espada comes to mind as well. No, SUVs like the Urus exist because people’s appreciation for aesthetics are in a decline. The fact that the absolutely hideous Tesla Cybertruck has acquired mainstream “appeal” says everything really.

Oh, how I'd like the Espada to be in the game. My Lord, I'd explode.

You can't put racing slicks on a stock roadcar without it becoming very leery.

I have met A LOT of people online believing that Racing Soft tires SOLVES all of the inherent handling problems of road cars, and ending up spinning out or crashing then whine.

And I have done that in SPORTS SOFT tires in 700 pp. The car needs some attention in tuning to get the best out of it.

And that maxed out, turbocharged tune lap was also done in Sports Soft tires.

I am not saying that one shouldn't use Racing Softs on road cars. But there are other factors to consider when learning and/or tuning the dynamics of a car. Tires are half of the battle.

If you put slicks under a road car you have to significantly tune its suspension too, starting with an increase in spring frequency from 2 or below to 3 or more.

Yes that is true.

Hence, one can't just slap on racing slicks on stock suspension and call it a day. The suspension has to cope up with the capabilities of the tire.

Typically on racing tires, my spring frequency is in 3 or little less than 4 in the road cars.
 
Never had any idea how to tune a limited-slip differential or dampers. Can anyone please help me figure this out a bit? :cheers:

Initial Torque
The initial torque determines how much power is needed to activate the differential.
A higher number produces more understeer at low G corners while high G corners show more oversteer.
A lower number produces more oversteer at low G corners while high G corners show more understeer.

Acceleration Sensitivity
The Acceleration Sensitivity level adjusts the engagement during full throttle. The higher the value the higher the engagement resulting in less wheel spin(limiting slip); however, the car may become unstable on full throttle when at full steering lock.

Braking Sensitivity
The Braking Sensitivity level adjusts the engagement during deceleration (braking, turning-in, and coasting). The higher the value, the higher the engagement; however, the car may understeer heavily when turning-in at high values.

This is a great read for tuning and the dampers

Digit website also has a guide for various tunning options. It's worth the read.

Yeah, in 2019:

This Lamborghini Espada is Coming to Gran Turismo Sport (Eventually)

It's the season of plenty in the world of Gran Turismo Sport. We've seen not one but two car-carrying updates in March, and yesterday the official site leaked yet more like the Toyota AE86 Trueno and Porsche 962. Now comes word of another classic Italian, though it's an unlikely one: the Lamborghini

That and the C12 Zonda they Dyno'd would be welcome additions :cool:
 
A few things.How does the event directory work? For example on the Historic sports car races ive completed 3 of them,came third in the 3 but it still puts me at 0% completion for this event.Is this a bug or do I need to do something else?
Also,I didnt know that adding an engine swap altered your gear ratios! Stock R33 with custom transmission,I set the ratios then did the engine swap and the ratio changed for each gear.Not a big issue just something ive never noticed before,only played the game since launch so maybe I need my eyes looking at. :lol:

Yeah, you need to win the races.
 
I think GT7 is a really big sucesso. It has probably sold a lot.

We can kinda deduce this from the games subreddit. Posts refresh every single day since the games launch, and last year, It was at 134k subs, it is currently at 202k, and just last week it was at 201k, at least some hundreds subscribed these last few days.

You know Reddit is not that popular... So for a niche forum to grow so fast means the game is flying...
