LFS, Lion-Face Speed: Tuner Garage. GTLM Setup Update!

[Lion-Face]

Lion-Face Speed​

Welcome!
Hello and welcome to Lion-Face Speed. An idea thats been rolling around in my mind for a while now and thought it wouldnt hurt to give this tuner thing a go.

What LFS offers
What Lion-Face Speed offers is not a heck of a lot at the moment...will work on this all in good time.

My quirks
I'm very picky about what I take out of the garage and I spend a good amount of time with each car getting to know the ins and outs tweaking the tune one setting at a time over the course of weeks. So, by default, this will be a smaller in number and slower to produce garage compared with the others out there, but the cars I do pick to race and tune will be itirated on many times providing a more precise tune for specific PP/Track combinations.

Setups Overview
All of my car setups are based on Professional Physics and are raced online in the Pro categories. All of my setups are setup with No Driving aids, and No ABS (ABS = 0). One of the reasons my setups take longer as it takes a good while to get accustomed to each car with no aids and no abs. A different driving style is required for racing without ABS and therefore my setups will be more fine tuned towards drivers who drive without aids. For users who drive with ABS, you may find my setups are a little slow as you are able to ride the car faster and can sacrifice stability for speed as the ABS will make up for that upon braking for corners. Although, then again, you may find the added stability of my setups to your liking.

Criticism
Please all who test or run my setups, any feedback is good feedback. If it slides a little on entry to corner, tell me, if its too slow out of the blocks, tell me, anything you may think needs improvement in an area, tell me. I cant make it better if i dont know whats wrong. I want to know how you feel about the setup, what you think it should be doing in a certain corner or anything. All feedback is welcome as long as its constructive.

The Setups
For starters, just the one setup of a nice easy car to get things started.

Ford GT LM Spec II Test Car: Suzuka 750pp

Great to see another tuner open up shop. 👍 Tuning without ABS definitely requires a different approach and solution. Can't wait to give your GTLM a go.

Small changes to original setup. Provides a better ride through corners, more consistant speeds. Gears have been adjusted to provide better accel and make more use of 6th gear for the longer straights/drafting

I have been working with this car for just over a week now, so the setup is still fairly early on but I'm picking up decent lap times, so as a first setup for my new garage, its a good place to start.. I think there is a solid foundation here and I've been able to really throw this car through corners around Suzuka. Although a safer option is to take it easy, as it will provide a good, fast, consistent lap time over a race. Although don't be afraid to push it if you need to, it does drift a bit but is gentle when it does and easy to guide.


My current Lap record 1:58.842

EDIT: Out of date and very wrong....May revisit in future.
