Hello, heres my times
1'03.085/Mercedes SLR Mclaren '03/703BHP/1467kg/N3/GT MO

1'05.110/Ford GT '05/679BHP/1320kg/N3/GT MO

1'05.594/Aston Martin DB9 Coupe '03/638bhp/1419kg/N3/GT MO

1'06.306/RUF RGT '00/534BHP/1130kg/N3/GT MO

1'13.792/Ford FOCUS RS '02/314BHP/1024kg/N3/GT MO

The SLR is pretty quick. I managed a 1'02.9xx but I clipped a wall I could probably get a 1'02.8xx. If you wish I could upload the replay to video google or use my max drive (PAL).:)
 
Well, i gave it another try. this time with my 330i, and it had major oversteer going up that uphill corner. got it sorted out after minor changes to the braking system and aerodynamics. very stable on the uphill corner, which is really tricky when it comes to judging the braking point, same with the last double apex corner. i realized you can loose a lot of time with those last 3 corners before the pit straight. coming out of the hairpin before the tunnel was a great challenge too. anyways, here is my time and spec.

1'05.240/2005 BMW 330i/436bhp/1265kg/N3 Tires
 
got sneaky and found a very quick car. Here's my time 0'58.954/Nissan R390 GT1 Road Car/826bhp/1046Kg/N2/200+
 
niiiice work everyone! haha. what scared me was that jgda9rs's time with the 330i beat the M3 CSL! and the DB9! O_O haha, i might go back to the track with a fresh new CSL this time, because the one i used has like 2,000 miles on it or something like that. once a again, grreat work everyone :sly:

Not anymore ;) I was'nt happy with my db9 time so i did another run. I also ran the csl and I am trying to improve my RUF RGT time.

1'05.040/Aston Martin DB9 Coupe '03/638bhp/1419kg/N3/GT MO

1'04.472/BMW M3 CSL '03/492BHP/1177kg/N3/GT MO

will post replay later.
 
Maybe I will try the R390;).
 
i still think my time's pretty good considering my 330i's got a 200bhp handicap
compared to the db9 :D i find that thing's gutless on the bottom end (the 330i).
or is it just me ? anyways i'll try and improve my time again today.


Update: After 64 laps of testing, i finally improved the times. if anyone wants my settings, just let me know. i tweaked the suspension again, this time a lot stiffer, this time i set up the spring rate to 12K at the front and 10K at the rear, dropped the front height all the way and the rear to about 97 mm. all with a short stroke shocks. i set up the bound and rebound to 7 on all 4. then i also found out you need strong brakes in able to be able to brake on the absolute limit, but with control. but once you miss the braking point, specially the first corner, you'd be left behind. i even ran the set up in racing conditions, and it went really well, except for the increased tire wear. i cranked up the aerodynamics to the rear too to reduce oversteer, and the LSD i biased to control the braking and initial grip to the acceleration, which is pretty bad with the N3 tires. anyways, here's my time and the specs again.

1'04.905/2005 BMW 330i/436bhp/1265kg/N3 Tires.

There's still room for improvement on this car. so i'll keep you guys posted. and i'll also enter my Honda Civic Type R that's in the works right now.
 
Cool, as a suggestion i think you should divide the leaderboard into car classes
 
Good job on the leaderboard:tup:.

i dont know why, but mine has a lot of understeer for a FR car. can anyone explain this ? i hate that thing. to think that BMW homologated it to be able to make the GTR race car. need to borrow some settings.
