Hello Guys!

I was wondering if anyone could help me setting my car for running at Daytona.

Today I've seen a french guy going 380km/h with his car in 3th Gear and he was able to handle perfectly in the corners at 360km/h!

I'd like to know how to set my car to get this speed.

Right now my suspension is.

RH = -30 / -30
SR = 18.5 / 18.5

Camber = 0.0 / 0.0
Toe= 0.0 / 0.20

Thanks you in advance!

Are you using one of the NASCARs?

RH +15/+15
Spring rates are ok, but you should add a bit camber and reduce the rear toe.

I have adjusted the gear ratios. Now i'm able to reach 345/355 km/h in 3th.

If i set RH at 15 / 15 i'll be able to turn better but i wont reach that speeds.

Strange, my car is faster with 15/15.

Here is the setup for a fully tuned 892 HP Nascar any one you want.
Aero Front 20 Rear 40 or 45 up to you
Ride height Front 15 Rear 15
Spring rate Front 18.5 Rear 20
Dampers Ext Front 8 Rear 4
Damper Comp Front 8 Rear 4
Anti Roll Front 4 Rear 4
LSD 60/60/15
Camber front and rear are 0.0
Toe Front -0.25 Rear -0.25

Easy transmission
Reset to default
Set top speed to 249 MPH
Set final gear to 3.429
That will give you a top speed in the top right corner of 258 MPH
Play around with the rear Dampers and see how it works.

Please I am really tired of these people coming on here and saying that you have to use what ever car. They are all the same,there is absolutely no difference other than your driving or tuning and the paint scheme on the car.
Ford,Chevy or Toyota they are all the same. Period. If someone wants to prove me wrong I am real easy to find on GT5.

My Daytona tune is also at +15/+15. Turn on the tire load indicator and watch the car bottom out on the bumps at Daytona. You will have faster corner speeds with full high ride height, which also translates into faster top speeds on the straights.
 
Try RH of 15/10 with a spring rate of 19.5/19.7 Thats my dirty little secret, lol. Car will bottom out at Daytona if you set the spring rates any lower than 10, no matter how hard you set the springs. Mastergamer and I used to have the fastest solo online times back before the Spec 2 update. Remember the days of running 50-54 laps on a set of racing soft tires herbie and killer. My, how things have changed. Kinda miss them good old days, lol.
 
For sure Cargorat. I know killers comment was directed towards me, what you just said is hilarious. You said every car the same. People have proven that each car is somewhat different. If 2 cars are 2 tenths off that means there not the same. Similar? Yes, the same? Def not. If 2 cars even at their best a tenth off there still not running the same time. If you can take 2 cars and run consistent within .010 I might believe what you say. But i've never heard or seen it done before.
 
I don't understand your comment about me saying every car is the same. I didn't say that, killer did. You lost me on that one, lol.

EDIT: Nevermind. I see now. You started out by addressing me then started talking to him. Too much pain meds for me, lol. Peace. \/
 
KB18FAN has the right idea for speed. Lower in the rear will make you faster, but too low and you'll bottom out and it will become very unstable. But if it's in a race, speed doesn't mean much with the draft.

Yea, I only used that setup for hotlapping Daytona. And yea, you don't want to go no lower than 10 on the rear RH. Many, many hours of testing and tuning at Daytona with the NASCAR cars. For awhile, thats all I did, day in and day out, lol.
 
Adrel, ask KB, I have a few hundred hours testing as im sure he has to, the 15 15 is for running at Daytona in NASCARS, I believe KB even mentions it in this thread aswell. My link KB I also run the 15 10, :). And anyone that has been running since the release of GT5 or within a week after knows raising ride height will pull a faster time. Or you could go through the setups YOU post, you never look, just post? I'm sure 80% of the NASCAR setups you have posted will show this.

Word of mouth is not proof, nor test.
Posted setups are not proof, nor test.

So, I repeat, Proven where, how and by who.

Because you tested for a while, you call that proof?
You say 15/15 is the fastest, but you run 15/10?

While were at it, let's be safe... Define 'fastest'. Lap times, top speed, Online, offline, solo, in draft, on a wheel? Let's make sure were on the same page.

I've tried a few of the tunes on the site, and I've gotten a bunch from some of the big names online. I continue to run my custom setup that I designed, because that's what feels best and runs fastest for me. That doesn't mean it will for everyone, but I was just quite interested in see'ing this data you eluded to, as I got pretty heavy into NASCAR after the Daytona 500.
 
Thats cool, 15 15 is not technically the fastest, for me 15 10, but a higher ride will improve lap times, if your telling me 400 hours of my time tuning, not racing isint enough proof thats your opinion, im on a controller and can run faster laps then ppl with wheels, I've out distanced ppl tire life wise with a controller. Too most ppl thats plenty off proof, and the league I ran with, i'm sure KB got same ride height results....or did he mention that earlier. I said 15 15 will improve lap time, I usually dont give my best tune but something that someone can base a tune off of. But so far 15 10 has given me my fastest lap on a controller and KBs fastest lap on a wheel. I have paper upon paper lap time vs. DF vs toe and camber vs fuel. For me thats plenty of proof and if I were to just start getting into NASCAR I would take the guys that have run NASCAR within the 1st week of game releases advice. Road tuning is alot different the Oval tracks. Some of us spent months testing to cut .300 of their time.
 
My fastest Online lap, 41.530, my offline time, 41.289, my avg speed in draft 230 to 250 depending on draft settings. Im on a controller, My highest top speed ever hit (lag bump) 266. offline time is wat you run online on a almost empty tank. Pre 2.0 i've made it 57 laps. Currently my speed setup can go 13 laps, my enduro setup can go 19 to 23. <Racing Soft. Any other ?s

15 15 is proven to make your car faster

You can swing your Epeen around all you like, but the two quoted statements above explain my reasoning and questioning. Unfortunately your claims of proof, don't hold much value when you contradict yourself. If your 'proof' is personal testing, then by all means, there's no harm in that, as long as you present it that way. You did not, therefore I questioned the integrity of the statement. Since then, you've proven me right and cleared up your mistake. Not a big deal. We can move on.

Your fastest online lap is 41.530? You say you hit 230 to 250 in a draft.If you are hitting 250 in a draft with whatever draft settings you have on then your 41.530 time is real slow.Top speed of 266 with lag bump.Really lag bump times?Anything pre 2.0 is not relevant now so it really doesn't matter.
 
fastest online lap is a solo time, suprised you didnt know that, where did I contradict myself? I said 15 15 is proven to be faster, never said it was my fastest, its to get someone headed in the right direction. How much proof do you need, run a solo lap with lower ride height, then a higher ride height and post your times. I never contradicted myself, I know what I typed, if I said 15 15 is proven to be the fastest that would be contradicting myself, I said faster...re read the message thank you. And it is not personal as im not the only one who does it. It wasant just pre 2.0, if you wanna run a lower ride height thats your choice. It really doesnt matter to me. I know what I know and from who i've sat in rooms with for hours at a time and results were the same.
 
doesnt play well w/others.....I can see why, dont argue about it here, try different ride heights, im sure killer runs a high ride height correct? Yet im contradicting myself.....
 
Will you guys just kiss and make up already, lol. We all know I 'm the king of NASCAR, bus #18 will be by shortly to take you all to school, lmao. Joking, ha ha, just trying to lighten up the mood here.
 
Haha lol :) I see your always online Carforat, but everytime I go to your name your never in a lobby.
 
Yea, I rarely race online anymore. Mostly stick to doing the TT's now. I recently joined the WRS so I'm going to give that a shot. Hopefully that will be some better racing than what I was experiencing in online lobbies. Thats why I quite racing online, it was like someone opened up the flood gates for all the idiots to come out and play. lol. I couldn't even race in my own lobby as I was always having to exit the race and kick the idiots out. It was just gettind to be one big headache. Haven't been online since like Janurary.
 
Join me sometime bro, I race in friends lounges, all clean, 505PP to 600PP usually. Hit me up sometime
