Quick question..

Does a wing help the DC5 Integra..

 

[Schwartz]

I know nothing about drag racing, but generally wings help with downforce (which is usefull in cornering) but increase wind resistance, therefore making the car slower in a straight line. So really it would actually make a car slower for dragging, rather than faster.

But you should probably ask someone else as I am not an expert.

I'm not sure aye. Because too much weight shift can make the front wheels lift. I'm not sure whether the physics of the game push the back down with df or just make the car grip better.

No it doesnt help with FF only rear wheel drive and AWD

Schwarts and MrMVP are both right in this. It is there to create down force which would help it in a limited fashion for track race and time attack (same thing really). However since it is FF and realistically has trouble hooking up (gaining traction) a wing would only further hurt the car. Unless PD gave us a front wing option like what Chris Rado uses on the Scion TC. However, I stress that the rear wing on a FF car does little to no help at all, yet I'm not sure if this equates to GT.

i basically said that minus the example of Chris Rado.

Okay...

So since I didn't acknowledge what you said that's why you've made the comment? Or just for the hell of it?

I was just pointing out that most was already said. No worries

Oddly, I found that a wing with max downforce helped my ek. Its the only ff I've tuned for ssrx and its slow but it should work for your car. To test it out buy a stock version of the car you are tuning, get oil change and engine overhaul and make a couple passes(however many until you feel you have consistent times-use auto makes this easiest.) Then add the wing and repeat. The results should be clear. I know theoretically it doesn't make sense but it works. If you haven't tested this out then you shouldn't say whether this works or not. Because, as great a game as gt5 is, some of the physics in game just don't make sense irl. So sometimes something in-game will work that doesn't make any sense in reality. The best method is always trial and error. If you think you have an idea to improve your tune, save your settings and try it out. Now that we have the test track you can see definitively the results of your adjustments. This takes out all the guesswork! 👍
