Was curious if you had tried my tune of the Daihatsu Cuore/Mira for the Kei car TT.
Interested to see what some better drivers can do with it.

I finally got around to trying this. Great fun little car! 👍 I only did about 5 or 6 laps & managed a 1.27.2xx.

Well done, yinato provided the base so thanks to him. Good luck taking off 8 tenths.

Quite right. Thanks Yinato!

This is weird. When I set that lap of 1.24.8xx it felt so easy, even with 2 bad errors. I then had to go out & didn't do any more laps after that. (This is why I said I felt that a 0.8s improvement would be possible.) Since then, the best I've been able to do is 0.1s off of that time.

It's driving me nuts!

It's such a tricky car to get the most out of, just keep calm and try to be smooth. The way you make the transition between braking and accelerating is very important. A tip for the corner at the start of the hill, press quite hard on the brakes initially and gradually release them as you turn, put the throttle on slightly to get you going in the right direction and just before you are about to break traction you need to aim for the small inner banking on the exit which allows you to put the throttle on earlier than usual.

Hello my friends,

I'm sorry but I will do the HS because I did not know where I can post this request, I therefore thank in advance the moderators to be lenient with me and if possible move my topic in the appropriate place, thank you!

I'm looking for a Sparco wheel I can not find, I put a picture and if anyone of you know where I can get it for me he does not hesitate to tell me!

I am looking for EXACTLY the same as the photo Sparco wheel with 6 mounting holes, not three.

Thank you very much my friends!

Regards,
Yinato.

It seems to be a Thrustmaster T500 RS mod according to the comments made below this video.

Wow, that tune feels completely off for me, doesn't reall suit my driving style, but on my first decent lap I went from 1.33.190 to 1.32.300.
A good clean lap and learning that setup might get me under 1.32
Thanks man 👍

Edit: Good clean lap = 1.31.668 => #155 (and on the podium in Belgium )

It's such a tricky car to get the most out of, just keep calm and try to be smooth. The way you make the transition between braking and accelerating is very important. A tip for the corner at the start of the hill, press quite hard on the brakes initially and gradually release them as you turn, put the throttle on slightly to get you going in the right direction and just before you are about to break traction you need to aim for the small inner banking on the exit which allows you to put the throttle on earlier than usual.

That is good advice Peasantslayer for anybody that is interested in setting a good time on this TT.
I stopped a couple of days ago feeling I could of got a few more tenths but no where near top five as i found the first sector tricky. I'll wait and see where 1.23.308 ends up.
Was a good change up for the TTs

Thanks, P'slayer. 👍 gonna try again tonight & will put this to practice.

Does anyone have the Honda BEAT version F shared? The OFC is a decent car but just isn't fast enough to compete with the best

 

[StirlingMoose]

Just tried Cbastjan7's tune for the Lotus and it seems very nicely set up. Gained me a second over my ad hoc tune quite easily, when I'd been struggling to match my best time. So I had a look at the leaderboard to see how the top chaps were doing it and noticed they are using strong Active Steering. Switching it on immediately gained me another second. I don't use aids normally, mainly because they don't usually help me go faster, but the AS certainly makes a big difference here.
Thanks to Cbastjan7 for posting the tune.

That seems a bit tail-happy for me. I'm getting much too sideways in the corners. Fun, but it's not improved my time. It might be the brake balance. I'm away for a few days but I'll try again when I get back.

 

[GTP_CargoRatt]

Just had a last minute go on Trial Mountain. Improved my time by about .500 for a time of 1:31.571. Looks like I'll finish at 231st on the leaderboard. Not my best finish, but it is what it is. Once again, it was a blast competeing with everyone and learning new things. Look forward to the next challenge. Peace.

1.30.952, currently 67th

have tried all 4 variations on engine tuning - normal, stage 1, stage 2, stage 3, seems to be less than half a second between them all

my best time was with stage 2 engine tuning, next was with stage 1 engine tuning - 1.30.982

 

[roflcoptor]

Well, I managed my best ever result for the timetrials, on 350PP K-Cars: Eiger Nordwand Short Course with 1:23.838 to get me a 56th place (2nd in the UK!) , so am pretty happy with that!

And a 138th place (12th in UK) with a 1:31.448 on the 500PP Trial Mountain Circuit thanks to cbastjan7's original tune (with some very small adjustments), so a big "thank you" to him for sharing it.

2 good finishes, shame you couldn't be top in the UK at Eiger.
