TT 35: Laguna Seca (SUSPENDED) & Chamonix West. [Post 1 for tunes!]

[RedPartyhat]

Didn't you see the tyre tracks across the grassy knoll?

Anyway, as entertaining as this thread has become, I have a couple or three suggestions....

1/Rename this thread "an endless/pointless argument about whether or not to cut corners"

2/Make a new thread for those that want to actually discuss the current TTs

3/Maybe the WRS organisers could make a parallel competition, with the same car/track combo as the current TTs, but only clean laps allowed, top ten replays submitted. Being top of that leaderboard would mean a lot more to the people who want to race clean, and the guys who can't stay on the track need not apply.

The discussion is over if you look a few posts up.

OK I guess my point is that its hard to find info on the current TTs when 9/10 posts on the thread are about this 1 issue, maybe we should start again, no?

Hello to all my friends,

[HS: ON] I see some of the atmosphere around here, unfortunately the bad atmosphere...

Tell yourself that we are all different and each have our way of seeing things, what matters ultimately is to respect each other, especially since we are all inhabited by the same passion, the sport automobile.

As I always said, you can yell as much but do the right way so why harp on a player instead of addressing directly, via a petition to PD?

Do not you think the better option?

My friends, do not feel hatred for some it is bad and does not bring anything... If you're after Amo, will fight on the track directly and cut as much as he does, then you will have no excuse.

If you do not want to cut as much as him, then do not but say nothing because the game is well done.

STOP: Back to the good humor that helps me so loving this forum. [HS: OFF]

On the Laguna Seca, I've never had much luck on GT5, the end never let me go my rounds correctly! Yet I have a huge pace with the advance of Amo.

I played one hour tonight, I did: 1'34'978 - 1'34'956 - 1'34'930, whenever the '7 xx escapes me, I failed a magic trick on the last corner, I felt like crying grrr!

I'll put seriously tomorrow, I'm sure I can go 1'34'7xx, I missed a few times but it will eventually happen! 👍

So much for my speech, I wish you all a good day and take care of you, very quickly.


Yinato.

Finally put some serious time on Laguna Seca. I'm at 1:37.047. I know its a crap time, you don't have to tell me but its the best I can do for now. Will give it another try tomorrow. Peace.

Dude, that's far from crap, nice job Mr.Busch

You honestly don't need a tune for the Elise RM to achieve gold. It's great right out of GT Auto.

Ok, change ride height some and toy with LSD, but it's ready to rock and roll.

Infact... My 2:03.1 is with a stock suspension and a slightly modified LSD.

I've got to 2:05.3ish (without corner cut) with some minor suspension and LSD changes but I'm struggling to go any faster. I'm trying to refine my tune but I just seem to be going around in circles. Any tips from some of you fast guys would be greatly appreciated.

RH 40/20
SR 2.5/4.3
Ext 4/4
Comp 4/4
ARB 1/1
Camber 1.5/0.5
Toe -0.10/0.20

LSD 5/15/15

Downforce 15/40

Brakes 4/7

Ballast 100Kg -25

Power 226 (88.5%)

1st 3.140
2nd 2.312
3rd 1.781
4th 1.431
5th 1.197
6th 1.041
Final 4.572

That's a very impressive time without cutting the snow bank! You're definitely reaching the limits of your tune.

But perhaps you could lower the rear ride height. Try a static 0. Also, play with the rear downforce. Lowering it to 25 will make it looser, if that's what you're looking for. Adjusting downforce + ride height are the two most basic ways to influence the general steering of a vehicle.

If you cut, as most of the top dogs have, you could drop quite a few positions. But that's a moral question!

Just got a copy of the car at the top of the Laguna TT and will give that a spin in the next few days to see if I can improve my time.💡

Lol, thanks Mac. Appreciate the compliment. Just having a bad day today and a little down on myself. Had a doctors appointment this afternoon and was told I need to have back surgery. He said without the surgery, within a year I won't be able to walk at all. With the surgery, its 50/50 that it will work. Not very good odds if you ask me. Ah well, such is life. Thank god for my daughter and GT5, the only two things keeping me going. Peace.

 

[BWX]

Got a 2:06.005 and in136th with just ABS, with the Lotus RM..


I was like 1.something sec slower without cut.. but I watched the replays and every single person did it. They do it in WRC.. so whatever! Who cares.

Got around 400th on Leguna, can't remember the lap time.

Hey Yinato.

People are just different I guess.. I am not from the USA, i'm from Central America, so I am a bit more 'laid back', so I see things differently.

You and Amo are super fast, with or without corner-cutting. There is no denying that. I'm talking about Laguna Seca, Spa, etc.. Not Chamonix (I don't like that track).

It's PD's Fault that the Lap Timer does not turn Red when the wheels hit the gravel, etc.

Just my 2 cents 👍

Peace!

Thanks for the advice and the kind words. I'll try it out tomorrow. I won't bother with the cut, I tried it out a few times when I was already red and my ghost always seemed to get around it just as fast as I could wade through that deep snow. I was never much good in powder

 

[Sheepjulius]

Nice lap, what do you mean management?

Active Steering maybe?

Yes, i did a 1:35.742 without Active Steering.

I find it very hard to turn before the chicane at the top, I lose 5/10 on it.

But i am happy of my time.

Ready to do it.👍

Hi
I see a beautiful band of jealous on this forum

Hi Amo

Not everyone is jealous. I'd be very interested to see how you've set up your car for Chamonix. I've tried everything I can think of but your car is always 6 or 7 MPH faster than mine going up the hill. I'm guessing its just a difference in driving skill but I'm holding out some hope that there might be some tuning options I'm missing.

 

[Lou8ball]

I think there is a problem with the track boundry as you go through the right at the end of t1. It turned red but I had only 1 wheel over the curb and 3 in contact with tarmac completed the lap anyway and had a 1'35.885.

My Fastest at the moment is a 1'36.030 (with ds3.) Will try to shave a couple of tenths off before the deadline. Dunno where some of you are finding tenths, it is really impressive.

Edit:

I also found you can run more hp on the engine limiter if you take off the exhaust mods. It lowers the torque though so Im not sure what is faster over the whole lap. Did the red faster time with the mods but my current time on the board without them.

Check your ride height. A similar thing was happening to me on the fast left hander before you go up the hill to the corkscrew. If the ride height is too low you can get a red time just by putting 1 wheel over the kerb. I think it's because maybe the bodywork touches the ground if the ride height is too low so you get a red time. A similar thing was happening a few TTs back, there was a 500pp TT for American cars only at Cape Ring and if the ride height was too low you got a red time after the big jump because the bodywork hit the ground. Raise it a little (maybe 5mm) it should do the trick.

Ah ok, yeah Im running lowest setting for the rear ride height. Will raise it a little. Cheers

 

[hoolio]

sooo much rubbish to troll through to get an idea of peoples set up as I'm not too hot at setting up,surely we are all here to improve and more so enjoy not bleat about what someone else did/didn't do within the confines of the game.Anyway going to give Usual's set up a go thanks for posting it.

 

[Usual Suspect]

Anyway going to give Usual's set up a go thanks for posting it.

I'm using now a different setup than the one posted.

Later will post the new one.

The tune/setups are in post 1. It says so in the title of the thread

 

[Mr P]

Yeah the shows pretty much over in here debate wise and everyone is nice and calm and what was said was said Don't forget to tune in for the next gripping episode TT#36 when all the doodoo can hit the fan again

True. Everyone has said what they had to say and we know where everyone stands on the issue so its just time to move on. I enjoy this part of the forums and have learned alot from everyone here. Good times with everyone here, even through the most heated of debates. Peace.

 

[Usual Suspect]

This is the tune i´m using at the moment

Time - 1'35.353

No aero, and with only ECU, engine tune 3 and exaust titanium

Can´t remember how i changed the gear setup, is not the usual tranny trick

Edit: Mike found it

"To get the gearing close to yours i reset the gears,
then set final to 4.682
then set max speed to 180
then adjust the gears (note that i couldnt set 5th gear to 1.450, it was 1.449)
Then set final ratio."

 

[numbnuts70]

@Usual-I had to look twice at your time then

Dont you mean a 35.3?

Thanks for posting the tune-might give it a try later.

 

[yanaran]

Nice tune Joao, I tried it and did a 35.6 but then realized the server connection had been lost and my time didn't register. Lost the will to try any more after that. One more point for PD!

That´s really bad luck Jonas

Glad you liked the tune 👍 Hope you give it another go

For Chamonix, there are alternatives from using the engine limiter when you want to lower the pp of your Lotus 11r RM.
But I'm sure you all knew that o.O

That's how I got up to 145MPH on the straight from 136MPH. The fastest dudes are doing 150MPH but I need to buy a new car and add more weight to add enough HP for that (Lvl 3 weight reduction irreversible).

 

[CorvetteConquer]

136.248 with the Evo X and a DS3 (ASM OFF).

I think I've almost reached my limit with this car. However, I do see another controller user (diogo) who ran a 1.35.714 with the same car. Inspiration!

I thought I did but adding weight doesn't seem to help. The fastest I can get to going up the hill is 142 but I see Amo doing 147. Is there another way that I'm missing?
