L2: 1'51.390
L3: 1'51.878

Default tune except for

477HP / -13
1422 / 99%

Traction Control = 3
 
Default tune? Play around with Gears, I bet you can squeeze out better acceleration withing 40-100 MPH Could improve you're times ;)

Those are amazing times to post up with a mostly default tune. I'm curious, who is reviewing your replays to insure they are up to standards (I'll volunteer since it would greatly/clearly help me learn faster)? :sly:

My usual plan of attack in these challenges is to do what I can with minimum amount of changes, and once I have max'd out or near to it based on my ability, I then start to make adjustments. This method then shows me where the improvements are coming from. 👍

All required replays will be available to everyone for review.

Arrrgh this is a frustrating one... compared to all the buzzy tuned cars the low rumbling AM is inaudible so I'm finding it really hard to hear how much throttle I'm applying or whether the tyres are squealing!

Does that mean we'll be able to load them & use them as Ghosts?

I get that too, I can't hear a thing from my car when I'm amongst a bunch of rice rockets!
That's caused a few late & early shifts for me.

Sixaxis Pad

L2 = 1'55.171
L3 = 1'52.377

Caught in traffic on L2, could be much better.

Here is my tune, as I tried TLD's and it was not for me. The gears are more or less TLD's settings with slight adjustment to give second gear a bit more.
I have basically dropped it on the floor and stiffened it up, I feel the car is much more stable and the extra brake balance helps if you are a late breaker.


Let me know your thoughts.

Power, -25
Weight, 85%
Tyre, R1

SR, 9/9
D, 2/2

ABS, 1

Gears
1, 2.308
2, 1.664
3, 1,270

5, 0.818
6, 0.692
Final, 3.295

Enjoy :)

AMAZING!!!! My current tune is almost identical to this - I've been able to turn lap 2 and lap 3 times in the 1:53.xxx range with either slight wall bumps or inadvertent AI contact. I'm going to try some of the other tunes tonight and see if I can finally get a truly clean run with good times so I can post them up.
 
L2: 1:55.181
L3: 1:54.231

Mostly default settings, except I have the weight as low as it will go and the HP corresponding to that. But, halfway through lap 2, the AI clipped the back end of the car as I passed them on the first sweeper coming out of the midsection of the track. :( I have had a learning curve for this event because I never drove on Daytona Road before now.

Hi,

Just finished my second session try for this awaited first event. Sorry to say, but at this point there is still no valid submission regarding the 100% clean race rule.:guilty:

I think I can understand how this event is intended as a thoughtful appetiser for up coming online races and I believe I get the principles of “respecting others driver position”. It was however in my understanding that responsibility regarding security at any overtaking manoeuvre belongs to the overtaker. So far, it looks as if the AI is scripted for punting your car in the infield.:banghead:

Generaly speaking, I enjoy the “Try Harder” philosophy, and - whenever possible - use it as a rule of thumb. But I’m starting to believe the goal is out of reach here.:dunce:

Since I don't want to finish this screaming in front of a TV screen, is there any Div3 driver out there for a little advise? (Any other input appreciated, of course:tup:)
 
Just had my first few attempts at this. Really strange to be racing against the AI! :yuck:

Anyway - I used a more or less default set up (apart from gears) and no traction control.

L2: 1'51.699
L3: 1'52.415
G25
Div1

Third lap was a bit ropey running deep into a couple of corners so should be able to improve a bit. I'm rubbish at tuning cars - once I've exhausted any driving ability that might be it. :nervous:

Totally clean at last. :)

Div2 here, but here's my general suggestions for avoiding AI contact:

- Keep an eye on the mirror, adjust your line if you need to.
- Don't pass on the infield and expect a clean lap (it's possible, but very tricky, and chances are you'll just get bumped from behind for your trouble).
- Pass on the high side of the banked sections (low can work, but you're much more likely to have contact).

Hate AI more than ever:yuck:

Gonna try more later.. always more to improve:tup:

If your other race was clean too you might want to stick with it - your total L2/L3 was 3'07.548 for it and these new times equate to 3'07.753. All depends on that first lap I guess which we can't discuss here. :)
 
Thanks Vaxen,

The banking section is ok since the car gives you quite a decent speed advantage, and the outside is indeed definitely safer. The big problem is that I don't have the pace to get out of the pack. I’m stuck in it, and while not attempting overtakes in the infield, the second right-hander U-turn is where it happens, even with the door left open, the cars in a fight will hit me almost every time. I brake the Corvette as late as I can, but it looks as if it is not enough. (I use Holden’s tune)
 
So far tonight I have had so many restarts, I am lucky to make lap 1, let alone 3. :dunce: It seems the AI are on a Extra mission to take me out. :ouch:

How much time are people going to put into this? I would say I have put in a good 6 hours so far. I dont think I can better my times by a whole lot now TBH. At least not tonight. 👍
 
A couple of notes I'll share although my times are no where near what's being put up here:

- After exiting the infield and just as the banking sweeps into the straight headed toward the bus stop, be careful trying to pass on the high side. The AI cars tend to drift toward the transition from the turn to the straight and then they ease off more toward the middle/right side. I've been pinned between the AI and the outside wall here on a couple of attempts. Now, I only pass on the inside on that section of the track.

- Same as above except it happens at what would be turn 4 of the Daytona Oval. The AI drifts a bit wide just before they all begin to line up for the apex of the tri-oval portion running back toward the infield.

- Otherwise, I don't attempt to pass in the infield unless a car runs too deep. Even then I end up getting slapped in the side a lot as the AI attempts to correct its mistake.

- I view the infield as a place to setup for passing on the banked portions. That is, I try and stay close but not in the mix of cars and hope to get a good run out onto the banking and slingshot as much as possible. I pick up most of my spots between the bus stop and the start/finish line. The risk here of course is that if I pass at the start/finish line, the cars I overtake are normally punting me as I have to brake a little earlier than them for turns 1 and 2.

Adding wings to the AM Corvette shouldn't be allowed!!! Can you update the rules Sphinx to disallow structural modifications to the car please. :)

These times are not right. To get a 3.07 you got to do 1.33 each lap.
Don't forget to add up it's only upto 60 secs and not 100. Were counting time not money. His time is more closer to 3.44 or there about.

You might like to try re-starting, it gives a different line up.

This is all relevant only to your pace on the infield ,if you get to them when they're high you low if you get to them when they're low you go high.

The only annoyance I have is the tiniest of touches when AI is indecisive, dam you Clio -Elise -spun 350z

So true. It's like the AI is out for a Sunday drive with the in-laws and can't decide to go left or right at times.

If it will make your task easier, you can ask people to post again with this info;
Registry Name
Controller
Division
L2
L3
L2+L3

That way you won't have to go back and re-formulate existing info.

Good thinking but the leaderboard does the L2+L3 math itself so there's no need to post that.
JonnyDangerous
It doesn't really show where you are thats true but lap 3 is usually the one with no traffic or slipstream effect so it's a truer reflection of a drivers outright speed on the track.
Click to expand...
That's an interesting thought, but since the goal of this combo is to achieve a fastest total laptime, it's not very accurate.
matt1245
The result is based on the overall race time for all 3 laps, so if you do that your time will be a lot slower than everyone elses.

Exactly, good thinking 👍

New leaderboard

There's not too much laptime posting so I think for now I don't have to 'activate' the leaderboard updaterer team :)
