GTP_WRS Week 22 : New ride for Daenerys

[Espial]

Just tried @shoenboggie 's tune... Holy shmokes, this car came alive with it. On the second lap I've beaten my previous best and then went on to find another 0.6s. Fantastic tune!

32.886
34.766

Still at least 0.5s left in there for me.

I thought I was Daenerys' new ride!

Sweet combo, I don't know if I've done any reverse laps yet. I'm hoping to get some seat time today.

marginal gain but I know there's plenty more, I've been 2 tenths quicker in the first corner alone but let it slip away

Improved on S2 a lot and S1/S3 a little for a nice improvement at the line.

Now running @Argon tune with exception of LSD which is @shoenboggie as find better handling on deceleration especially.

Messy stop start session today with lots of restarts (looking at you bus stop !) so will be looking to get into rythm of running many more laps consistently over next few days.

Interesting combo after finally having a not so busy week. Now to decide what livery I want to use...

This would mean that most of the WRS participants watch that series. Am I the only old fart around here?

No dude I had no idea either

 

[shoenboggie]

I’ve been playing around with down force and BB a bit with my tune and improved .300 or so at the line.

32.908
34.563

Too many red laps this session trying to figure out sector one.

 

[Gravitron]

We all know PD likes to throw in some undocumented curveballs with each update, so let us know if physics or tuning changes on this combo seem to be present.

Relevant because Dragon Trail.

@Gravitron
Thanks Lucas, I was more or less done with this one but I'll re-visit for a few laps, then play with a tune see if I notice anything. As they didn't make reference to any power, weight, bop or the like I would say we're fine on this update.

 

[dranddad]

Sporting Daenerys baby dragons.

@Argon Mike I've found the tramp stand for Coffee and bugger. So I'm set for an endurance any time.

 

[GTP_randy]

A 125 mile session. Still using @Argon tune. 👍

32.396
34.389

Had a sloppy downhill on this lap. Need to clean it up and start throwing caution to the wind in the final sector. Staying in 5th on the downhill section was faster for me than staying in 6th. 5th did away with some of the understeer 6th seemed to cause.

I'd like to say I'm impressed 🤬 that means I've got to go faster, I was hoping I was done with dodging these Dragons. 👍

We're never done my friend you know that. There's always another tenth.

 

[Renrag39]

Yeah it can if you can put a peice of cotton through the eye of a needle at 100mph

Challenge accepted!

That’s a real good idea to try 5th gear...I maybe get 1 out of 3 laps right on this downhill section.

Nah second thoughts, I'm happy with my line time.

Still using my own crapy tune..

I think I am hitting my wall now, last night could not beat PB even though I was .3 or less about 4 times out of 25 laps, also ran another 6 within a second of my PB, so either I am ready for a break-thru or I have hit my wall. Currently running a combo of @shoenboggie and @Argon tune with stock gearing. I feel like I can go faster, but just need to change something on the tune, but I don't know what. Will see what weekend brings.

NOTE: understeering on corner entry seems to be my biggest issue, wether I am driving too fast (which according to my times I am not) or if it is tune adjustment I am not sure. Is small changes to LSD best way to start?

Now I'm really nervous

Play with the last diff setting and try a bit more rear brake bias too. This car and track seems to be entry speed sensitive as well.

I’m running the same as you but I have changed the gearing slightly using all seven. I have moved final gear to 3500 which to me seems to give be better exit speeds against stock gears. This setup also I feel allows me to upshift slightly early if I feel the back end starting to go which brings it back and the ratios are short enough not to be penalised shifting that little bit earlier

You'll notice on here there are a few adverse cambers, so work more on your line. And mind the raised bits on the curbs one they can un-settle the back end, worse can throw you off line altogether.

I can’t seem to improve my times much in the first two sectors I am constantly finding time in the final sector
