Good round gents and welcome to @GTPVenomZombie

With ROUND 10 soon with a special guest event!​

 

[Nismonath5]

@smoothbore12 I almost had you in the no-tune challenge...

Also pretty happy to have my first domination in this hub, I just hope the Evo 8 RS will keep serving me well through this $50k series!

The one hit wonder, well as @bjl23 mentioned I had oversteer issues, a couple of offs and one big moment that cost me dearly. Still though, considering I was severely exhausted coming off 4 days' solid work + overtime, I'd say I did alright.

Bring on the next batch!
Cheers

It's going be hard to win the NO-TUNE and I don't think anyone can win the 50K but we'll see.

NO-TUNE 1st go

 

[Racin510s]

The are my first attempts. Most likely will not run No Tune again. I despise the track, but gave it 3 attempts. The battle is fun. Got to go buy the Countach. I have time today, so I'm gonna give the rest a go.

Edit:The Countach will easily beat the Dino. It has more power and almost the same weight as the Dino. I don't think I can shave 5 seconds from my Dino time but will try. I know I can run faster in Like the Wind. I just have to adjust some settings.

 

[smoothbore12]

Wow , your car has potential in 50k @Racin510s , as for no tune this car is......#$#@#$¢€¢£ , it spins in a bling of an eye , very miserable behavior and for some reason the damn game bring in frond always the GTR .

Any way 50k first attempts , maybe with the right field the win is possible , but that what it is now

 

[Racin510s]

Battle and SKEAGRACIN510S, 50K Updates. I was able to shave 3 seconds off the Dino, but that was an awesome 2 laps for me.👍 My 510 handled pretty good for GT6, nothin at all like real life. This too was a good run for me. 90% of the time my first run is always the best. Tried the Countach after the Dino update and was 1.5 seconds slower. I never touched any of the AI in any of the races. I was able to pass 1st place with both the Dino and the Countach in the 2nd turn so my runs were not hindered by AI like The Wind. I wondered why I wasn't faster on the 2nd attempt and had to go wash the dirt off of my Boss, Bryce. My 3rd attempt after the car wash in Like the Wind I had 4 51 sec laps and a 50 on lap 5. Saw 210mph in the draft this time after the wash and tranny adjustment. Fun was had.

EDIT: SKEAGRACIN510S
I used NOS for the 1st time and shaved 9 seconds off my best time. Now only 7 seconds behind the Comèdian which is par for the course.

 

[smoothbore12]

Yes marshamallow man , you are on the hund for first place , just do it damn it .
Save some Nos for the last round , you are close mate.
As about the battle from what i experiment the Lambo is gonna be the clear winner on this one.
I will do it at 500 pp since the Dino can't go more .
For the Lambo i already have a great tune and am trying to settle the Dino .
The Lambo needs detune and the Dino max tune , that reveal the pottential for each car , not always but in most cases .
In 530 the Lambo wins hands down .

The tune for the Dino is @praiano63. My Lambo tune I don't know. But a :30 is OK. I may try NOS on the 510, what %? I have never run NOS so I don't know. I did go back to @GhostRider65 tune and looked to see what I may have changed. I lowered it by 1 click on F&R. Up on the springs and down on the dampers. Reset to the tune except for ride height. Look forward to your changes. Thank you mate.

 

[bjl23]

@Racin510s and @smoothbore12 you guys are so close to winning the 50k, it would be a massive achievement if you guys could win.

50k update
I need to find more corner speed

 

[smoothbore12]

@Racin510s ....... in 50k you run without Nos ?
Cause if you did , its a matter of just press 3-4 times the button to win it easy ..

@bjl23 my car also hate to much high speed corners , is very upseting under braking and have to brake early and let it go , hoping that i don't meet the wall

My car is the same brake early. I'm only carrying about 250kph around the corners not sure if that good?

Its all about a good tune for this case to have balance and for sure to have the hp to support this race .

 

[bjl23]

I've got 7??HP so plenty of power, I think I'm doing 350kph on the straights.
I've been playing with suspension, it's helping.

 

[smoothbore12]

It s also a matter of right field , with out the top guns inside , so you might take advantage from the draft .
My runs was with big guns inside since time is what we look for . I ll try to find a slower field that might improve my time with the draft.

 

[Racin510s]

Last attempt with the 510 & NOS. Knocked off a second to only 6 seconds behind The Comèdian.👍 Bounced off the wall a couple of times, but got the body roll out of it. Tried and tried to stay off the wall but no go was watching my sector times. Didn't hit the AI though. I am satisfied.

 

[smoothbore12]

Damn this car under the @praiano63 mother care it's a blast , not sure anymore if the Lambo in same pp level can beat it .
Battle Dino

And for my lovely mate @Racin510s the replay.

And for my lovely mate @Racin510s the replay.

Mr Comèdian, thank for the replay.You are flying. That is fast enough. 4 seconds between us is fast enough.You nailed the right hander that I hit the wall on over and over. Most likely cost me a second, just can't run it anymore. I just keep getting slower. The same with the Lambo. I just can't sit and run but maybe 30 minutes then my back hurst and so does my sholder. Damn I miss my wheel. Oh well. Good runs mate.

 

[Racin510s]

YouTube browsing I found this video of a real GT40 at Spa. His laptime was a 2:43 real life. Made me feel good about being slow here. I have run faster laps at Spa.


I know this is not about ours races, but it is reacing in real life.

How’s the threading between the Shelby Mustang & whatever it was that almost turned across his path

Beautiful 8-cylinder symphony too

 

[smoothbore12]

@Racin510s ....That right hander and the wall shave at the last turn is like ........🤬
@praiano63 tunes in this one are amazing , the car have the tendency to close the line almost at every speed , i wish i could have such a tune for like the wind .

 

[bjl23]

BATTLE#7
2 very good cars in there own way, it made me happy that 2 Italian cars where chosen for this race.

LAMBO,
is a very clean and tidy car to drive and fast, I don't like the look of it but it makes up for it in performance and you gotta love the history.

DINO,
DID ANYONE SAY OVERSTEER! I think this reveals the RUF, lucky we can tune it out this time.
This is a very fun car to drive once you get the oversteer under control.

50K CHALLENGE
I tweaked the gear box a little and played the the suspension, mainly lowered the front settings and raised the rear settings.
I think I can get a little more out of it?

 

[smoothbore12]

Can you share the tunes mate ? Nice ride especialy with the Lambo .
I never manage a lap in 11 as i remeber.
Bruce Lee is back !!!

Edit
50 k update , playing with rear toe ( negative) .... carying a bit more turn speed ..... and a horny pescarolo

Battle part 2 Mad Max turns to a Master blaster ,Dino don't have the hp for this but runs like a charm .
@praiano63 tune again with my own gearing only.

Vid will follow later .

Edit 2 ..... now its later

I don't think you need my LAMBO tune now (I don't have it) I can get it next time I'm on, but here's my DINO tune.

Did you find the toe helped in the 50k?
