Did the same thing when tuning an A class Impreza - adjusted the antiroll bar and toe, camber etc to try and eliminate a bit of understeer and it made things worse so I put everything back to default and now as someone said last night "you got that thing on a scalextric track?"

 

I always change the gearing to suit the track, final drive only, a little play with the suspension to dial out excessive understeer, increase the downforce if possible.

 

Yeah I've changed the gearing and downforce, gearing mainly to allow me to do what I said above about using a higher gear to pull me through those S bends without oversteer.

 

I've always gone with a "one car fits all" approach and adjusted my driving style instead.

Only track I tinker with any settings is on the oval, when I reduce the downforce.

 

I'm exactly the same.
Specc'ed up my Scooby and thought I'd try and 'tune' it, the more I adjusted it the worse it handled and the slower I went.
Saved the setup for the Oval but now I just have whatever the default setups are for each of the cars.

 

Nice times lads

If your moving on car/track before the start of next week I'll just give the older car/track combo a try when I can.

IT's going to good seeing if I can get a good time from the wheel when compared to the sticks of messiah. For me the TCS ABS is allways the fastest method but both are on for that oh **** moment. Nothing worse than no ABS then getting the braking wrong and hitting the wall

 

I`d love to join in but I`m cr@p, hardly done anything in career. I darn`t mess about with settings either. If it`s raining tomorrow then I`ll just have to stop in and practice.

You`ll do for me

 

55.121 without any aids. So much more to come but had to stop cause I was getting more and more angry at myself for messing up lap after lap

 

cool, I've also gone aids free tonight and believe its the fastest way, but as I didn't finish work (big contract) til 9pm I've switched it back off after 5 laps cos I'm cross-eyed!

Are you doing that with wheel / untuned car?

 

Tell me about it spent a few laps trying to beat that time. Noticed you had Aids switched off, very impressive mate. 56:003 was the best I could get, will try tommorow after a few less Ciders.

 

Saw you posted that time last night - good one, I tried again but only got 2 laps in before a load of invites landed - for guess what? 10 laps on Mugello short in R4 cars! Thought I was onto a winner but got pummelled by a pair of Audi's - the GT3 was a lot faster down the straight but I was getting hammered through the S's. Didn't help that I couldnt drive for toffee though - only got 1 lap in the 55's...

 

I've only got a pad (own a MOMO racing wheel so can't justify buying another gaming wheel ).
I think that time with with a slightly tuned car but I was on course to beat it by 1/2 a second with the default setup but messed up the last corner and gave up before the pad went through the screen

 

I think I need to try with the pad. If I end up faster with the pad, the wheel is going through the window!!!

 

Current scoreboard (not sure if I have everyone that's attempting it as a friend though?)

 

I'll gift you mine tonight if you want... as long as you gift it back

 

No worries. I'll be back home about 5'ish so will do it then. I'm going to opt out of this challenge and just spend some time learning to use the wheel. I'd get nowhere near these times at the mo.

 

Yeah it's a fun car and very quick but to get fast times and keep it on the limit is very tough... at least the wheel is bolted down so you cant throw it

 

erm, I dont even have a GT3 - I've unlocked it in arcade mode...

 

B2Z I've only done a few levels of the arcade and I've got the GT3. I do think you get it quite early on!

 

In the exhibition matches you get 3 cars unlocked for winning the race.

In the TT's you get 1 car but you only need do the first 5 in order, once you've done the fifth it opens up all the others to do in any order you please.

 

Not sure, but if you go through the list of TT's it tells you which car is used for that event, and it's that car that becomes unlocked, if its not in the TT list its one of the Exhibition races.

 

Manufacturer Races in Career - Porsche Sports Car Club.

edit - juts checked the list of exhibition races and the Red Bull GT3 isnt one of the prize cars.

so if its not in the TT's you'll have to unlock through career.
