I'm taking part in a GT500 online championship, with HP limited do 503 and 1100kg as the weight limit.
My car (Nissan Calsonic Impul GT-R '08) is fully tuned with all extra parts and 714hp. To enter the series, I've used the power limiter to keep it at the mandatory 503hp.
Next race is at Nurburgring GP/F and I'm having problems with my setup. My car is quick, but I'm suffering from excessive tire wear - racing softs last for only 5 laps.
I was searching online and read in another forum that, If you are limiting your GT500 car's HP, then you shouldn't use Turbo Stage 3 because it would increase tire wear due to excessive wheelspin.
The recommendation in the forum was that you should use turbo stage 2 for most tracks so you could change gears in lower revs, reducing tire wear and increasing fuel economy. They say that the only tracks where you should go for the Stage 3 turbo are Le Mans and Monza because of the high speed characteristics on both circuits.
Is this a valid information? Does using stage 2 turbo really decrease tire wear? I'm at work right now, but I'm very anxious to get home and test this theory...
