Jaguar F-Type Gr.3 - Setup Help

[Guffaluff]

Hey guys!

I made a post in the Tuning sub-forum, but as it seems to be rather non-active, I figured I'd try posting here in the main forum. If tuning queries are not allowed in here, please lock/delete this thread.

So, I have a 2hr Gr.3 endurance race coming up on Saturday night at the Nürburgring 24H layout. Cars were randomized and my weapon will be the Jaguar F-Type Gr.3.

We're racing with standard BoP but tuning allowed. Unfortunately, I am a total ape when it comes to tuning. I've been looking online for some setups, but with little luck, so I'm seeking help .

We're using Racing Hard tires, 5x tire wear and 2x fuel deplation.

Any help greatly appreciated!

Ooh.
I quite enjoy doing stuff like this, and even though that's not my track of choice I might give it a go.

So ... Track time of day?
And wheel or controller?
(please say wheel, please say wheel)

Haha, awesome!

I'm using wheel (T300) and prefer to use no TCS and ABS on default. No other assists.

Thanks mate, really appreciate it. No pressure if you can't get to it

Oh, and track time of day is 12:00, forgot to answer that one.

Here's a tune from Praiano, who makes some of the best tunes you'll find. Him and MINKIHL are the only tunes I trusted way back when I was doing tuning races. It's not track specific, but should still be an improvement on the stock tune. Maybe just adjust the gearbox for the optimal top speed.

edit: that link is to his tuning thread, not the Jag tune itself, but the link on that page will take you there.

Well, I gave it a go. 👍

I don't mind what I came up with, but you may very well think otherwise.

I figured there's ever chance you'll probably do 15 laps over the 2 hours (maybe 14 depending on factors), So I aimed for 5 laps per stint.
Your mileage may vary, depending on tyre wear, etc., and you may wish to do 4 lap stints, but at least there's fuel for 5 if you shift a little early.
It does mean quite a long gearbox, so it may take some adjustment for braking without engine compression help.

Anyway, the numbers:
Brake balance: -1

Ride height: 65 / 70mm
Frequency: 2.85 / 2.85
Anti-roll: 4 / 2
Dampers Comp: 56 / 54
Dampers Rebound: 84 / 82
Camber: 2.4 / 1.4
Toe: Out 0.15 / In 0.30

Aero: 380 / 760

Diff: 8 / 16 / 20

Transmission:
1st: 2.450
2nd: 1.900
3rd: 1.550
4th: 1.310
5th: 1.140
6th: 1.029
Final: 2.850

Gearbox is 'flipped', so set it up this way:
Reset box to default, then fit fully customised.
Set Final Gear to 4.500
(then) Set Max Speed to minimum (200kph)
(then) Set gear ratios as above for gears 1 through 6.
(then) Move Final Gear to 2.850
Done.

And just for fun I recorded a video.
A couple of laps to show my rev. shift points, the fuel I was using, and the tyre deg. I was getting. 👍

Thank you! Gonna try this out next time I'm on GTS. Really appreciate your effort
