GT Auto Lexus IS-F Cup by Yokohama; On Hold?

[Jav]

1:40 high, low 41, still cant find the ideal apex on turns 3, 4 n last turn.

The best lap I did is 1'39.315 but usually its high 1'39 to low 1'40.

Well looks like I still have some work to do... Just getting bored and fed up with trying to tune this thing...

Well this isn't NASCAR! 👍


Also, after cramming the 24hr at Daytona in the last few days.. I think the next series should use their cars .. obviously no DP's. What ya think?

 

[CodeRedR51]

I think after this I'm taking a break and running someone else's series.

 

[dethc0re6]

HAHA.. i was also thinking of a GT style.. 8 spec miatas on track with 8 is-f's!

Dude! Cool idea.

 

[GrahamTurismo]

Anybody with a tune that doesn't suck?

I may bow out before the season even starts.

This car handles so poorly, it's not fun to drive at all.

 

[KamyKaze1098]

When i sign in to this series, the start hours of the races hadn't been decided.
Now that i saw the schedule in post 1 i know i can't make it.
You can scrap my name from the list turbo.

For some reason it just doesn't work at Fuji, at all. I've found with my tune it still under-steers a bit no matter what, especially on old tires. But take the same tune straight to Grand Valley and it's over-steer galore.

I would like to join.

Can i install a carbon fiber hood?

Since it's an RM package, I think that is already done for you...

 

[GrahamTurismo]

Eh, not really. Only in the two third-gear hairpins. This car seems to oversteer at low speeds, which is understandable due to it's relatively low weight and high power. But cornering at mid/high speeds still produces a slight bit of understeer, there just isn't enough front grip or something. Whatever it is, it's pretty lousy for a "Race Modified" car. I'm pretty sure the RM Camaro could take corners better, even coming from a country notorious for making poor handling cars (when compared to the country the IS-F comes from that generally makes great handling cars).

 

[Wardez]

IS-F doesn't feel right 'cause the base tune's really too basic. It's a great platform though. You just need to find the right spring rates and its racing spirit really comes out.

 

[Müle]

Changed colours.

They're now Reflex Purple/Indigo

 

[lapierre4]

Hi guys, I created a lobby open to all. It's GTP Lexus Challenge and the number of the room is 1472 - 6118 - 3787 - 3246 - 6453 and I will run Fuji F but if the people that join want to change the track I will be pleased to do so.

EDIT: The lobby is now closed.

 

[Müle]

Damn, I missed it.

 

[Anorexicroadstr]

If everyone is not liking the understeer why not try to downgrade to sport soft? Harded tires should allow the back end to be a bit more loose.

 

[Müle]

and make cornering even worse? no thanks.

 

[CodeRedR51]

and make cornering even worse? no thanks.

LOL yeah. It'll turn with a good tune. 👍

 

[Jav]

Ok! Late night session open!

1472-6118-3916-1736-4525

Session closed!

 

[CodeRedR51]

Be there in a second. I can only stay for about 30-45 minutes though.

Understeer problem fixed:

Just need to "shave" the rear tires a bit

Thank's for joining man!
The new tune made the car feel much better and with a few tweaks took my times down to 1:43.005. Still off the pace and a bit slower than before, but it feels so much better now! Now is just a matter of getting used to the car and relearning the best line arround the track. I really hate the new Fuji!!! Herman Tilke is a murderer!!!!!

I have actually considered running sports on the rear only and maintaining the RH tires up front for grip. I don't know how wear would come into play though and I don't even know if that would be against the rules.

I'm pretty sure the RM Camaro...

This just crossed my mind; why not a dual make championship? Allow the IS-F and the Camaro for a series and allow people to choose? I don't have an RM Camaro yet but I'm sure there is a tune that would allow it to perform on par with the IS. Of course it would have different handling characteristics, but that's why there is a choice... some people may prefer the Lexus over the Chevy. I know this series has pretty much already started, but a dual make RM series would be fun.

Has crossed my mind several times with you, but have already gotten penalized on a series for doing this(eventhough I'm going with a lower spec)...
