Nice run FormulaGT, just 1.3 MPH under my run. I need to get a faster speed before someone beats me (somehow I need 5.4 MPH, must hit 370). You also hit 240 at the 1000m, maybe try tuning to see if you could hit 300 in the 1000...

Gettin' closer! I just did another run with the same settings and got 363.80 MPH (strange isn't it), only a ~0.5 MPH, to me, it's not really worth posting up (i would prefer a bigger increase!). Regarding getting to 300 MPH @ 1000m, My gearing is quite strange as you can see in the vid (i don't ever reach 6!), so i'll certainly have to work on it before attempting your milestone, but i'll give it a shot using your settings first.

CoolGeekz, I've just noticed that addition to your sig... How about getting that 5.4mph and changing it to first! :p

I'm going off to do some testing... I'll let you know how it goes :)

Team666, I'll try those suggestions. I know you said remove the ballast, but oddly I got 5 MPH more out of it at the 1000m (284-289).

Yes, I figured that, so that´s why I suggested a 0.2 increase in the rear springs instead. Less weight, means better acceleration. And all the ballast does is to put the weight transfer to the rearwheels on faster. You should (not certain, but probable) be able to get the same effect with a little harder springs.

I can´t get my vids (format: MP4) from my cellphone to work on my PC. I have several mediaplayers, and none of them will work, even though atleast two of them are able to read MP4. Can anybody tell me what is wrong?
 
:eek::eek::eek::eek:
Curse you DE! What with your making me use more than 3 gears and all. While the pic will come later, here's something for you: the '03 Pescarolo can do considerably more than 1/5 MPH over 325.5. Try 333.61 MPH. Would settings be enough to prove it to you? I can send you them, as you own the '03. I found a new top speed trick. :sly: And even better, I'm not done with a few more fine details of tuning, so expect another 2-3 MPH later.

If you've not tried RealPlayer, that should work.

Nice going Toronado! Don't worry about the settings, obviously the car is much more capable than either of us thought, a photo will suffice. I'll be going to try out some unorthodox settings, but I will catch you!

Hello again B_B_B, have we seen you here before? I think so, can't remember... Anyhow, well done with the Merc AMG-CLK-GT-R-LM etc. etc. 👍
For future reference, please use thumbnails instead of full-size images - it messes with the margins, and 56k'ers will hate you :lol:

EDIT - Sorry, I missed that Opendriver! Well done with the Bentley, now see if you can catch it's other Le Mans brother without a cockpit - my R8 ;)

Thanks, but no, that did not work. Quicktime was the answer, but is it a good idea to post that format here? Anyway I´ll try posting a few vids later today. Nissan R92CP, Nissan R89C, Audi R8, Bentley Speed 8 videos (maybe) coming up! And maybe I´ll get a vid on that ´03 Pescy too, unless you feel it´s legit anyway.

kk my bad imma computer retard so how do i make a thumbnail anyways?

....You also hit 240 at the 1000m, maybe try tuning to see if you could hit 300 in the 1000m....

I gave your settings a shot and then tried my best to improve them. Currently, I removed the ballast, softened rear spring rate to 8.0 and changed the camber angle on the front to 3.5. All of the other settings are the same as your post. The good news is i have significantly decreased the time taken to run the 1000m, fastest so far is 13.292. The bad news is that my speed dropped from 290 to 284 or there abouts at the end of the Km. i did try minimising ride height to reduce the 'churchill effect' which seems to make the speed jitter (i.e. preventing it from rising smoothly). Maybe you should look at the gearing? (I have no idea how to tune this area outside of Autoset and Final).

I feel this is going to be quite difficult...

Good luck,

FormulaGT

DE; how the hell did you get yours to 343?
mine is maxed out:ouch: :grumpy:


I´m actually surprised noone has got it over 350! Are you picky with your settings? Or do you keep an open mind? If so, try the ones in my sig, and see for yourself!

You only need bother with videos for runs that I specifically suggest, or that are over 350mph. But they're interesting to watch anyway :)
I'm not worried about the Pescarolo '03 speed, I believe you ;)

Opendriver

Mine's nowhere close to it's limits, that was just a preliminary test run! I fully expect 350mph out of mine. It's never made me think it's going to wheelie.

I'm on my way to that, Team666 :p

opendriver19a
I have got over 350 but it does a wheelie and well, thats not a legit run.
DE what do I have to do to get my Toyota GT1 speed verified?
Have I missed out a speed? If you're referring to the 349.53mph run done on the 10th of December, a photo should be fine for that. If I've already been given one, I must have missed it. Could you link to one, please? Sorry about that!

Hmm, interesting, eh? I can tell you your eyes would bleed if you tried to watch my vids, the quality just isn´t good enough for any scrutiny:grumpy:. Damned cellphonecams! And I have several 350+ mph surprises :( I can give you pics, but what good are they when speeds are over 350? Boohoo, but atleast my R89C or R92CP isn´t over 350, so maybe I can post that? Allthough they are a bit faster than current posted speeds. On the other hand, some show off to get other people to work harder can never be bad, so I´ll post pics of my speeds. As they will be over 350, and not legally verifyed, I don´t expect anyone to belive them, but I would never try to post anything that has not passed my own scrutiny. And competition is good, right? I think having a goal with your tuning might help too! Coming soon, in a post near here!
 
Ok, Here are my sub 350 runs:
Nissan R89C

Nissan R92CP

Pescy ´04


And my 350+ mph runs, just to show where yor aims are supposed to be :)
Audi R8

Bentley Speed 8


I have more 350+ runs coming up too, but first I´ll see if I can get my hands on a decent digicam, so I can proove my runs!

Please don´t be upset here, I´m only here for the fun, and as long as I can´t proove anything, and don´t demand anything - just the fun - this shouldn´t matter. Not the 350+ runs anyway.

Team666 - I don't think the pictures came up.

Do´h? I can see them. Try refresh or something. And if you only get those small red x:s, klick on´em anyway, I think the pics will show up individualy.
 
this is a huge thread to read and search... my question is that, basically any 'super' car can go over 300mph? because i have all 4 black cars, the toyota 7, and that purple jaguar... can those get the job done? also can we use nitros?

Nice speeds everyone. I should be able to see what I can do in the R8 on Wedneday. Here I come DE
Come get me ;)

Team666
Nice going... Damn you on the R89c, though! I wanted to take the record for that :p
Looks like I've got some reaching out to do in my R8... No problem at all with the pics for me, by the way.

Hi jamaican... If you don't want to read the whole thread, I recommend you at least read the first post... All four black cars are capable, the Toyota 7 is nowhere close and the Jag XJR-9... I don't know. Maybe.
Do some testing rather than ask us! ;)

Answer to the Jag: It should do it, but it can not carry N2O, so it will be very just 300.
I was actually thinking of compiling a list of cars tried , that did not make 300, might be useful for people who hasn´t tried this yet. Would that be useful? Shall I do such a list?
 
alright, one more sub 350, and one more over. The over car was a surprise even to me, as I thought my previously posted speed would be it´s max, but thats tuning for you!
Well:
AMG Mercedes Benz CLK-GTR

And:
Nissan R92CP!!

Believe me when I say I checked, double checked and triple checked this speed in both replay and photorun! This was a serious surprise! I know a video is wanted here, so please be patient with me, I´m doing what I can to get a (sufficient) camera!
 
No, I didn't think the XJR-9 could take the bottle, but I wasn't sure. Thanks.

Good idea! Don't worry, I have such a list, my mental 300mph encyclopaedia covers it. I'll write it out. Seeing as I've been here from the start (clearly :lol: ) I hopefully won't miss anything, but let me know if I do! It'll be linked to from the Leaderboard. I'll let you know when I've done it :)

Nice going with the R92CP, it's a great achivement to get a car as old as me to, and beyond, 350mph! Well done! I can't put it on the leaderboard until I get a video, but it won't 'expire' if that involves waiting :)
That's the fastest Merc CLK-GTR-LM-AMG etc... as well! :lol:

Ooh, getting closer Opendriver! Keep on pushing 'till you can catch me, then we might get a little battle for dominance going! ;)

Cool! Could you keep it sort of open for cars others have tried, but not posted? I know I have a few...
