Car: BMW Z4 GT3
Track: Catalunya GP
Time: 1:50.424
Clean/Dirty: Clean

Only the first build i've tried. It does slide and the gears need a little tweek so there should be a bit of time to gain.

Having never really driven this sort of car hard in Forza it did take a bit of getting used to. I have a bad habit of carrying a small amount of throttle through the apex while coasting and I needed to get a bit more aggressive with the car to get the best from it.

yep those are with 15% I set up the lobby when he done the time lol

by IBlueIJaBBRexI Thu 3 Jan 2013 - 0:36

haha yep there with -15%
The problem is i need the practice to keep that time as i keep swapping from 2 racing games and having to re-learn the lambo again but i did one today and im pretty much hitting a tenth or 2 of that each lap.

pretty much running no aero on the car front and rear and seems very stable car nice in the last 2 sectors though.

I will have to try running no aero. Thought that would be suicide here at Catalunya. Thanks for the tip!

by **Diablo 29x** Thu 3 Jan 2013 - 3:28

intriguing. I ran a 50.2 with full aero...

by LastNewtStandin Thu 3 Jan 2013 - 4:21

Does seem that the time is there with or without aero.

This tuning larks a nightmare Smile

by Markius Fox Thu 3 Jan 2013 - 5:20

1:54.8 on my own tune, which isn't stellar.

It feels faster, I'll have to go into the gears and find something. I also think my diff needs some tweaks.

Viper has superior mechanical grip at the cost of speed. Running no aero at most tracks seems best, however to answer your question correctly it would be yes it is specific to the car and track combo

With times like that why do I even bother to compete! Might change my GT to Capatain Slow.

by CredibleWizard Thu 3 Jan 2013 - 10:23

I managed a 1:53:2 and thought ''yes I will be a couple of seconds slow, due to lack of proper setup knowledge and driving skill'' But I am nearly 4 seconds off now, as in reality it is 1:54s are my regular times.

going to have to revisit my setup and also do A LOT more practice!!!

Driving the Jag and it feels like it wants to slide whenever I push too hard.

I'll try and get the Catalunya tune over to you tonight mate. Should be much more on the pace for you as don't forget, this season we are XCR Racing - Powered by CQR!

Nice one Crisis, I will be looking forward to that for sure, those guys sure know a lot more than I do!!
