Supra is all about throttle control and patience round corners. Brake and drop down gears as needed then coast until the apex corner is in sight and floor it. Any throttle before and it will slide and lose you precious tenths from your time.
I tried the Mustang and improved my laptime by half a second immediately. Seemed to fit my driving style, really a fun car to drive. But then I felt like I was stuck again. Certain sectors, no matter how hard I tried, just couldn't go faster than my ghost. Like getting held back by an invisible force.
I’ve had nothing but good racing in C this week. Having something that encourages different strategies in a range of cars makes a huge difference. People are much less likely to fight tooth and nail from T1 if they know that the race will have different phases and lots of cars with different strengths.
You are right; that makes sense. But RBR two weeks ago (the last time I raced - 13 times) was equally clean.
I gave it a try in a souped up Samba bus but apparently my opponents didn't get the memo
He was in one of my races last night. I called him out in chat and he left before the race kicked off.
I don't race any of the OP cars, I just like tuning and testing to get everything I can out of the car. Tuning hasn't changed much from even GT5 really with the meta bring high front end, low rear end and manipulating the power curve so at this point I just look at it as don't hate the players, hate the game. Y'all can take it so you may if I hate the game.
I purposely did NOT mention the WORD hate because it's a hard word AND doesn't reflect what I think about it. Like I said... anyone who wants to drive a car like this in the game should do so. I don't want to and I don't do it, even at the risk of being slower.. for this reason I don't do any A races, because although it's about "nothing"... I just don't feel like just being in the middle field to drive when others are simply pulling away with an absolutely unstable vehicle. I much prefer the at least halfway functioning BoP. And no, it's not enough for me to be in midfield under these conditions.
The Plymouth Superbird has a setup bug as well. Its stock PP (on CS tyres) is 471,1.
Using the power restrictor you have to reduce its power from 425 to 314 BHP in order to get it down to 450 PP:
However if you install a racing gearbox the PP go down to 403,3 which means that you don't have to reduce its power at all. As a result it has 111 more BHP than it should and is absolutely flying on the straights.
Installing anything that increases power will correct the PP though, so you can't abuse this to the moon and back like with the Mazda. The Superbird also lacks the Mazda's four wheel drive, so traction becomes an issue.
It seems you missed the part where I said that the PP gets corrected if you install anything that increases power. Add a Sports Air Cleaner and the PP jumps from 403,7 all the way up to 491,99. That absolutely is a bug. You are not making a sacrifice by installing a racing gearbox. It is orders of magnitude better than the standard one.
Good that someone is putting the time into finding glitches I suppose!
Yes, are there any real-life racing series where you have to detune cars in order to race them?
