Any suggestions? Nearly every drag race I run online I get walked all over because I just sit and spin. Cant seem to hook at all until around mid 2nd gear into 3rd. Where do I start with adjustments? Do I go for tranny ratios? LSD? Suspension? Or a combo of the 3. I havent played much in the past 6 months or so, and rarely played online at all, due to my schedule. Though Im starting to get back into it again, and playing more and more online and Im really diggin how everyone has the drag races set up, but it just seems I dont ever stand a chance because of all the wheelspin.
 
I believe it is a combo of the three as they are all important parts of a good drag set-up. As for what adjustments to make, I'm afraid we're in the same boat. My cars have the same problem. I have been trying to dial this out and have had little success. But you've come to the right place for help as there are many good tuners here. Good luck.👍

What cars are you running?
 
My ACR was spinning too much, so after adjusting ballast and toe, I tried the traction control on 1, change to manual and I jump the tree on 2nd gear, and now it's a new tale.
 
Good drag rooms don't have traction control available so that's not the answer to your problems. I think you should just make your first gear much longer and then focus on suspension to minimize the wheelspin. :)

Sometimes, the gears don't go far enough. And where are you?!?! Y U QUIT?!??!

Good drag rooms? Maybe more challenging ones! I have 2 setups with and without traction control. I try to drag in same categories so everything is equal.
 
TCS actually slows you down. Lengthen first gears and soften springs a little.

That's true, but cut my 1st gear spinning on my acr and make a good run for it. Without TCS my setup is change and I launch in 2nd gear. Oh an ballast 0 all way back, like you though me once on my mclaren 19 inch option
 
i love gt5
Maybe is your traction control off set it on 5 for no wheelspin.

Indy, I guess? For Indy 2nd gear is fine, but for SSR7 you need all gears.
Like I said: Don't use TCS!
Wheelspin on an ACR is absolutely no problem.

I'll run you in your TCS and non-TCS acr so I can see the difference.
 
Tcs in drag is a no no in real life as well as in gt5..also you need 2 have that wheelspin in an acr it helps alot and dont launch in second gear wit an acr your asking for a worst launch

I said you allready he lost his internet connection like 100 times.
 
The gears will go as far as You need if You adjust the final gear. Move it to the left.
