30.1 in Le Mans Tune with full aero, reckon a 29?

MUHAHAHA! 1:30:6xx

Thats not even funny. I did 5 laps last night and barely scraped into the 31s. The Porsche literally doesn't sit down around here due to all the bumps.

Great Sonoma
My favorite

1:30.9XX more practice is needed though.

1:30.8 in the viper.

Viper 1:29.6

1:29.665, splits for a .590 in the Jaguar, 1:29.240 in the Lambo.

1:33.8
Oh yeah fkn flying :/
Last it is for me

1:31.1xx in the Ford.

It would be a tough race for me but I'll be on the way back from Oulton Park so won't be racing.

I got a 1:32.6 earlier which is ok
Now if I can drop a second I'll be happy

1:32.2
So close

Do you reckon a 1.28 is possible in any car ??? also is it possible in the Viper ?

What type of gear ratio are you using in the Lamborghini? I did some laps and got a 1:30.9 but I left with a strange sense that the car could be way faster around the track. Do you do the second from last corner flat out? (The one with the Toyota Board). I do feel at home in this track though. Just like the Nurburbring GP   

  1:30:8xx in Suzuka tune, 1:30:1xx in Stock Lambo tune.
I entered this comp to learn how to drive/tune these type of cars, Apparently all I've learnt is how to make them worse   

The double right hander/Hairpin is killing me, Just cannot get traction without stretching the gears to be ridiculously long.

Short shift  

31.9s actually please with that. <---- The sarcasm oozes from that.   

Okay I may need to replace my controller....

Went into Hotlap mode to try and get my feel of the car back (since I tend to do very little practice and in test tune mode), after 5 laps set a 30.9, restarted with some tweaks, 30.5 with splits for a 30.1.

I then back out to send some decals and forgot in hotlap mode if you don't save your tune... it resets.

Oh and why did I mention the controller? I went to put it down firmly on the beside cabinet in annoyance whilst I grab my coffee, missed the surface and dropped it around 3ft face down... and kinda split the case in half, so yea that's me done for this week.

I use 2nd through 5th gear, and I let off a bit going into that second to last corner, but I do so early to get back on the power earlier and get a faster run on that small straight before the hairpin (that's a good way to make passes in this car given its lack of acceleration).

If your Suzuka tune had any downforce off, that might be the source of your problem.

Nightmare, I remember drag racing you up the back straight on Sunday. Definitely some aero off that car.

Cheers, I'll give that a go.

I was running about 2/3rds rear DF at Suzuka and was thinking of putting it to max for Infineon.

Vette pretty much needs the full downforce, cars like the Lambo, Viper and the McLaren could get away with around 90%, you want to try and keep the back end light when exiting corners but nose-heavy to handle the first section.

Not questioning your knowledge nightmare mate, is mainly for any guys who have trouble tuning or need some tips to give them the advantage.

Anyone got any tuning tips for the Ferrari, bit of a handful here for some reason :/ The back end is all of the place and the car feels really on edge if that makes sense. Really hard to get a smooth lap.
