Oh... offline. Ignore all that D1G talk, sorry to burst your bubble, but you're back here with us regular humans.

lol yeah. I wish i could do that. and be considered D1G. Would be a honer but to think that you thought it for a second i think is kinda kewl.

Im only using a controller so if i had a wheel im sure it would be more consistant and what not. That and the car still needs more tuning.

And even if i was D1G speeds i don't think i would be old enough to do something like GT Academy

Grand Valley Super speedway

I managed to score a 1:38... while it was a slow 1:38.965 it was still a 1:38 and according to some peoples lap times around this course FAST.

I had no troubles with tire spin although i almost went off the track on the last turn and almost caused myself to ruin the whole lap by spinning out, and honestly im surprised i didn't.

I only feathered the gas on 1 part of the course and that was through the tunnel after the bride but that was to keep speed not control.

Also the tune i used is not the one i posted, it has changed a little bit but im not posting it again until i feel its worth of posting again.

Offline with TCS I'm in the 37.4s, I'm testing a theory about loosening up the car, to prevent the snap.that the car seems to to have.

holy crap the the 1:37. hopefully whatever tune you can come up with can the same driving style as i drive so i can use it effectively.

Usually i drive my cars to drive tigher and not spin out but feel lose if possible on the car im driving.

my 787b tune feels like this. it feels lose but never spins.

hopefully your tune is possible for me to even control.

What tires and aids are you using?
-and did u upgrade the car at all with turbo, spoiler or chasis re-enforcement becaue i dont use these.
 
Offline, TCS @1, and I use the driving line.
The tweaks I've require throttlw modulation, I doubt you'd enjoy it much. I'm just trying to hit a 36 and I'll call it a day.

depending on how your tune works i may beable to just adjust the LSD to work for me. Id have to try it first :)
 
1:37.331 is the best I could come up with before it started losing HP.

60 / 80

-2 -20
14.3 15.5
1 1
9 10
4 3

2.8 1.5
0.15 -0.05

6/9/11

Brakes 8 10

Default tranny with 123 all the way left, 6th all the way right, 4&5 spaced evenly between. Final 2.700.
I don't recommend this tune to anyone, but be my guest.

1:37 is still pretty good in my book. Idk what GTPlanets high for timetrials are on this course but 1:37 seems good as i can barely get 1:38 sometimes.

ill try it next time im on

lol stop saying D1G driver. I took that as such a compliment until you said nevermind becaue i was offline

Honestly, being in Division 1 Gold just means that you are very talented at GT5.

You could still win a race, because many D1G drivers, as so many Time Trial drivers do, spend hours prepping and tuning for a Time Trial, and then run a literally PERFECT lap, which no normal human could beat.

Yeah but i was hoping to beable to hold on and tell friends that im a D1G speed driver XD
-Something i could brag about :) lol

I don't expect to get some of the times as people are getting though as im only 16 going on 17 in like a week and i have no steering wheel and just learning tuning basics. My brother and me feel if we had online for our ps3 that we could do really good online, but with no online ill never know. (don't feel like explaining why i have online for everything but my ps3)

I may beable to keep a car from spinning but that means nothing if it aint fast.

It is, after all, how you say "Uebung macht den Meister."


If you want to brag, it's up to you to be able to brag. For those who are learning to tune, and "just" know the basics, I recommend all of the tuning forums. Just look through, find a car with:

  • Similar weight
  • Similar weight balance
  • similar aerodynamics
  • similar tyres
  • similar purpose (not drifting, etc)
  • similar horsepower

Once you've found a car, with a similar tuning setup, see how it handles, first, as the tuner tells you to drive it (which assists to use, etc.) Then, try to make your car handle like their car does. Most tuners try to tune for "neutral" steer, meaning that the car won't under- or over-steer.


Once you feel how tuners make their cars, you can start to see how the changes they make affect the car.


Once you get a nice tune, PM me, about what your lap time is, in practice, and I'll see how I fair, and we'll compare.


I mean, I trust that you'll be fast, but there are plenty of people, whom you'll be faster than.

(Ich meine, ich vertraue Dir, an dass du bist schnell, und es sind natürlich viele Menschen, wider denen du bist schneller...)

You just have to practice, and tune a car for your driving style, or find a car, which also matches your driving style.
 
I assume a D1G driver would hit high 35 or very low 36's.

I cant even comprehend. As i was sure 1:38 was the fastest possible on this course and mabey if lucky a 1:37. Because on all cars ive tuned that were group c / le mans i take all turns as fast as car and i can handle and only manage 1:38's

i don't think im at complete basic level but i think im more of half way. Ive only been tuning my own cars for mabey half a year to 3/4 a year. But i think im slowly getting the hang of it.

Im trying to get a lot better though. Adrenaline said he got a 1:37 on grand valley and my mind cant even begin to comprihend this if hes using racing hards. Fastest time i ever got there was like 1:38.3 or 5 i think.

Honestly you don;t have to type som sentences in german either. My english is good and i actually live in america. Im just German. :) Should probably change my flag to USA now.
