Apologies for the double post. I posted this on the other 111R thread but then I saw this one specific to the 700PP races.
Here is my
Concept by GT 111R Tuned setup that I use for easy gold in both S7 and S10. If I make few mistakes and no penalties I'm in the lead by lap 4. Assuming I pick the right starting lineup...
These settings are
pre-update 700PP.
This setup suits my driving style well. I drive this car with standard physics because I drive GT5P to have fun and this car is not fun (to me) in professional mode. My best laps so far are 1.40 at Fuji and 2.01 at Suzuka.
I use the same setup for the 680PP races with adjustments to power.
Power +35
Weight 85%
Aero 15 35
Height -10 -10
Springs 7 5
Dampers 6 4
Toe +0.02 +0.05 (this sacrifices a bit of turn-in for better mid-corner grip)
Camber 2.3 1.8
Brakes 9 3 (if I use more rear brake the rear gets too loose on braking)
Max Turning 40
Traction 1
ABS 2
Gears
1 2.689 52mph (unimportant since the car never sees first gear)
2 1.822 77mph
3 1.406 100mph
4 1.013 127mph
5 0.903 155mph
6 0.754 198mph
Final 4.486
I do sometimes hit the rev limiter at the end of the straight when drafting, so if that bothers you then bump up 6th gear a couple of mph.
A couple of points of advice...
The 111R has to be steered with the throttle as much as the wheel. I drive with no shoes on so I have better throttle feel. I have no advice for those who drive with the paddle since I never have.
Give the Morrison Vettes plenty of room. They will slide off the road and then smash into you when they come back on. You will get the penalty(s). In fact any car that slides off may do that so you may have to slow down slightly so they shoot across the track in front of you instead of knocking you into the wall.
Don't be in front of the GT LM cars at the end of the straights. They will punt you off. You will get the penalty(s). If a GT LM is behind you pull off line to the inside so it will go by you when it overshoots the corner. Just rember to brake a few feet earlier since you won't be on line going into the corner.
Outbraking going into the chicane is a great way to pass but be careful. The chicane is a penalty trap.
If you're not drafting another car on the straight and there is a car close behind you pull off line so they can't draft you. The other cars are faster on the straights as it is. Don't give them any help.
Bumping the AI cars off line to get by them is OK as long as you don't hit them hard or bump them off the track. I don't advocate doing this to human drivers.
