A few extra notes to consider when tuning cars that I dont think were mentioned in this video, based on my experience in league races and such Regarding anti-lag systems: be aware that your fuel usage goes WAY up when you're using an anti-lag system, so if you're using your car for a race with fuel consumption on, maybebconsider skipping this upgrade Regarding custom transmission: the automatically adjusted top speed is often wildly inaccurate. To gain a more accurate idea of the actual top speed of the gearbox, look at the manual gear customisation, and the number AFTER the slash is the speed at which that gear hits the rev limiter. So for example, a gear says "0.847 / 282", so the car will hit the rev limiter in that gear at 282 km/h. Also, an example I've had where I've adjusted individual gears was for a league with Kei Cars with a standing start. I shortened first and second gear quite a lot, as I found the car bogged down in the lower revs quite a lot from the standing start, and I wouldn't use them anywhere else in such a low-power car. Regarding ballast and weight distribution: note that this can have a big impact on tyre wear. Th amount of impact this has is proportional to how much ballast you're running, so if for example you're running a lot of ballast and your front tyres are wearing out much faster than your opponents, consider running your ballast further to the rear, or vice versa. Regarding suspension: spring rate also has a big effect on tyre wear. One of the guys I raced with once made his tyres last almost double the entire field in an Alphard race, and when everyone else was in awe after the race, he revealed that his secret was to run the natural frequency extremely low. Anti-roll bars and such might also have an effect, but I havent tested this myself. I think this was kind of already mentioned to as well, but I wanted to emphasise just how important diff tuning is as well. A lot of highly upgraded road cars can be unstable under throttle or braking, which can be fixed through playing around with diff settings.

@Andreas_B.2 ай бұрын
How do I set up my car correctly in GT7? Go on the internet and look for real sites that explain how to set up cars correctly and first things first realize that you can't set more GRIP because it is dictated by the tires! The aim is to achieve a good balance between the front axle and rear axle in terms of mechanical and aerodynamic grip. Example: What do you do about “power understeering” ar Low and middle speed? Reduce the Weightshifting to the rear axle, make the rear higher and set a higher spring rate with shock absorbers tailored to it, but note that the spring rate plus ARB value results in the overall roll tendency, which should be the same on the front and rear axles despite the different dynamic weight distribution. It is also important in Gran Turismo, because you are not actually sitting in the car and feeling how the vehicle behaves, to choose a view where you can see the vehicle's movement in relation to the road in order to adjust the car accordingly.

Hello dear friend. My biggest difficulty is controlling cars that shift a lot of weight when I brake hard. A perfect example, Toyota GR Yaris, is a nightmare! Any touch on the brake and he will try to throw the rear end. Could you make a video teaching this configuration better so that we can resolve this, or improve it.

I bought a second 2002 NSX and did the GR2 Concept NSX engine swap and tried to build my own homemade race car out of it. Still struggling to keep the rear end planted. I did the same engine swap with the Amuse S2000 again to build my own GR3 style race car and it’s much much better but I suspect that’s because the Amuse is already setup for track use compared to the NSX road car. I’m thinking of selling the NSX now but would keep it if I could make it behave itself and be more planted.

@@Doughtinator a lot. Particularly on longer straights, off the line, and out of corners. A good gearbox tune is akin to unlocking extra horsepower for free, especially when paired with a good torque/power curve and proper shifting. All tuning components are extremely important to maximize performance and optimize within the event limits. Making a car "Drivable" is just the tip of the iceberg, especially with the way casual players may end up overdoing it on performance upgrades.

@Doughtinator2 ай бұрын
I just explained what everything does. On a simplified level to help everyone. Which of the points I’ve made are incorrect? I’m not trying to explain tuning to experienced tuners because they already know. I do believe that tuning is a personal preference thing. The traits cars and tubes have can be loved by some and hated by others. A great driver can probably extract fast lap times from a car with lift off oversteer but a less experienced driver would not even get a clean lap. 🤷🏻♂️

First off this isn’t a high level 2nd off you are so incredibly wrong. There is no scientific consensus on perfect tuning. There are trends… there is a base tune for each tire type and vehicle. Ultimately though it’s down to the driver. Some of the fastest drivers are the ones who can effectively communicate the changes that they want don’t to the car. But 2 drivers using the exact same car on the same team will often run slightly different setups. Clearly though this video is not showing anyone what changes to make or how to setup a car. Also there is NO perfect tune for any one car which is why all PD has 3 tunes per vehicle for BoP vehicles. Low, mid, high speed… but realistically every track has different tuning needs. In the dampers alone. I’ll find the settings best for one track might have my front end drop down then pop back up too quickly. So I have to adjust for that. But a different driver might take that turn differently. It is absolutely part science part art.

what would you suggest messing with if you get lots of oversteer on braking in a FF car? the rear end wants to snap around on very little braking. whats the best things to mess with to get the rear end to be a lot more stable.

Brake balance all the way forwards. Stiffen up front natural frequent and anti roll bar. If you have LSD then set braking sensitivity to maximum. If you have any aero reduce front and raise rear.
