I’m going to need to watch this 3 more times and take notes. I grasp the basic principles and totally dig it. Biggest take away? Shifting in the correct moments to stay in the power band. I probably don’t do that. So that’s gonna be the first thing I do tomorrow.

[@brentleyturner1107]

Thank you! This is exactly what I needed. My 1LE Camaro was having extreme trouble with preset 3rd gear, whether it was getting to it or leaving it. I’d red line 2nd then flip to third and third would red line instantly and i was so confused on how to fix that as to not spin out attempting to reach 4th gear. Now all gears ride smooth, with a slight redline on 3rd, but nowhere near as bad.

[@prtcountersteer]

That Camaro is a monster. I have a pretty simple way of doing gear ratios. kzbin.info/www/bejne/noeQoXyuh9WImsU

[@naico144]

Can you please share what you did to the gears? Im having the exact same issue, I tuned the 1LE almost to the max and the amount of wheelspin is insane, I have to do 2nd gear with just 50% throttle and 3rd can't go full throttle until the very end, then in 4th I have to once again wait quite a bit until I can go full throttle (I play without TC). All this even without the superchargers.

Great video! I’ve been playing these games for years Gran Turismo sport wasn’t as technical and I’m really glad they brought back a lot of the old tuning selections and visual pieces that go along with. Suspension has always been the part about this game I haven’t fully understood I have a basic understanding of it.

[@k1n6bu7ch5]

Just started SIM racing and took one look at the tuning and felt sick 😂 this has helped me so much thank you

[@patrick247two]

My five cents. Choose your car and track combination. Ideally the upcoming Gran Turismo 7 event. Set final drive to 4:1 Set first gear to 3:1 Set final drive to 1:1 Spread the other gears so it looks nice. Drive the car for a couple of laps. Note problems you notice. Revving out in top gear, for example. Move final drive to improve top speed. Move first drive so you can use it effectively when lapping. If you tune for best standing start you might enjoy drag racing. Spread the other gears so it looks nice. Do some more laps. Fine tune. Now is the time to look more closely at the middle gears. Look for good gear/corner combinations. More laps. Fine tune. And repeat. Thank you, Harmonic. Your intro into gearing is good stuff. I'd like to hear your thoughts on Brakes.

[@_Indi9o_]

This video really helped me understand how it all works enough to be able to control my Supra RZ build. There's still a lot that needs to be done, but the fact that I'm not spinning out of control from the slightest application of throttle really goes to show how helpful the info is. Even though brake balancing was important, I would still go all over the place. Thank you so much for this video, dude. I'm actually excited to tune more cars as a result!

[@louiewilliams3703]

Thanks brother, I’m determined to be faster than most people I meet online w engine swaps, after about a month of slow and frustrating progress I’m on KZbin trying to understand the craft that is gear ratios. People are helpful in lobbies but don’t want to give away their secrets which I don’t blame them for! Side note how fun are engine swaps on gt7? Used to drift on there but now absolutely love drag racing! Personally love gt7 not perfect but it’s exciting! God bless you for the effort for this video, I’ve watched a few now and this one actually explains it well. Proper dear John essay thanks for reading if you did! One Love.

Did I miss where you show how to set your gears inside the power band?? I can’t figure that out

[@orangecroc]

I had an OK grip on how gears worked, but this helped me learn the missing pieces! Great explaination!

[@LOOKINVERTED]

Have yet to delve into what you've tackled here in GT7 (did it back in the GT days of old), but currently each car I drive I somewhat get to _feel_ where the power bands are in relation to each's peak torque and max power simply by listening to the engine's audio (and the length of time it appears to yield through each gear's progression). Not an ideal approach of course trying to hear where these power bands are so appreciate the thorough demonstrations of what actually happens if we drove each car as we'd generally expect - revving all the way out to the redline, though as you've shown for some cars it's a clear disadvantage if not set up properly. Just came across your channel so will endeavour to watch any other informative aspects of car tuning in GT7 - if they're as extensive and informative as this, superb instruction - I get the feeling there's going to be a high demand for such content.

[@jimmyers3219]

Thx for this video as it answered my question about retention of settings for fully customizable gearbox. Most of the other topics served to confirm what I already understood about GT gearing implementation. I wish more players interested in or confounded by this tuning aspect also could view this. Attempting to replicate IndyCar settings for ovals, I was attempting to run multiple top gears by closely stacking them - fail. Armed with this new knowledge, I still must revisit this technique when I again have access to the game. Thx also for reference videos; I've followed Jason on YT for years & these are finely detailed & are soundly mathematically based. I very recently had viewed a couple of your videos concerning GT7 topics as they luckily appeared in my timeline. Only today did I find this video referenced from GT Planet; more good fortune. I am a new sub for your channel; I really enjoy your presentation style 😎

[@itsme2369]

You are the man ! Thanks keep it up on your next video can you show us on the transmission screen where we should line up the lines more or less that would be very helpful also thank you for what you do.

[@coachjoeenglish]

Agreed. I love the information, but the chart with the gear lines doesn’t totally make sense to me. Especially as it has 7,000 RPM at the top where the car is at Max Power at 6,500 in the example. The other thing was the “Max Speed” setting shown on the main screen after changing the gears.

[@itsme2369]

@@coachjoeenglish Agree 100%

[@Harmonic14]

@@coachjoeenglish I chose not to go into that because it takes even more guess work to figure out where your gears land by looking at the chart, and it just increases confusion. Because of how basic that chart is in the game, its only practical use for me is making sure my gears don't look oddly spaced out. If it had a grid and some more detail, I would definitely use it more. You're much better off just driving on the track and setting gears that way. As long as you understand how to make gears longer and shorter with the sliders and why you should do so, that's all you really need. As for the Top Speed setting, it's just a quick slider to set all gears longer or shorter. Be careful with it though, because if you move it after setting your individual gears, it will revert those changes. That's why I tend not to use it.

I'm driving in MT and I noticed sometimes it's an advantage to over rev as a control, if you shift only in the power band the next gear is more prone to fish tail, maybe some differential tuning is next to tune on controlling the power band.

[@monkeybase01]

Hello, thank you for the video. I wouldn't mind learning a bit about the camber settings in GT7. Since seeing your video about the ride height I started using photo mode to look at my tires and the suspensions compression. I've noticed the tires themselves are compressing and stretching too in the game which is awesome, but it seems that the camber does not change at all with the movement of the suspension. You would think when the body presses down on the outside strut the camber becomes more negative and visa versa, but I don't see it. It made me think about your tunes with minimal camber setup. It's also hard for me to decide if I should raise the spring rate, dampeners or torsion bars. I've raised my car 40mm but I still don't get to full steering lock with my controller while taking some turns, I suspect GT7 has some sort of steering aid always on when using a controller, but I wouldn't be surprised if it was my suspension setup. I try this on a Ford Focus RS with 499Bhp and wide wheels. Also my handbrake does not work anymore, even with the tuning handbrake. I bought another RS, didn't tune it and my handbrake does work. Very strange. Thanks anyway, Super GT mentioned your channel and I've loved all you content since that day! ☺

[@joshuastanlick6217]

The Stanlick formula: Gear Ratio = 1 ÷ (1 - ((1 - (1 ÷ Point of Convergence)) ÷ Convergence Factor) • (Final Term)) Explanation: • Point of Convergence: This represents the desired 1st gear ratio upon which all other ratios will converge. It sets the foundation for the exponential progression of subsequent gear ratios. • Step-Length: Calculated as Number of Gears - 1, or (N - 1), is the amount of steps between the Point of Convergence and the remainder of the steps, or in this case, gears. For a 10-speed you would have 9 steps, for a 9-speed it would be 8 steps, for an 8-speed it'd be 7 steps, and so on; just be sure that the difference between the Final Term Floor and the Convergence Factor is always equal to (N - 1). • Convergence Factor: This controls how quickly all steps (or gear ratios) converge towards the final step (or ratio) that is at the Nth step (or gear). It's closely tied to the Number of Gears (N) and the desired Overdrive because: Convergence Factor + / - (+ / - Final Term Floor) = N - 1. The Convergence Factor is always minus a (negative Final Term Floor value), and plus any (positive Final Term Floor value). The Convergence Factor must be reduced or increased according to whatever value the Final Term Floor is to follow the rule N-1 = Step Length, which ensures that the Step Length is constant. • Final Term: This term is incremented for each gear, starting from the highest (final) gear and adding +1 to it for each preceding gear. Its floor value determines the Drive Level. A Drive Level of 0 = no Overdrive (1.00 : 1.00 top gear) whereas negative values for Drive Level such as -1 will produce levels of Overdrive. The opposite is true for values > 1, yielding more Torque Multiplication closer to the Nth ratio and producing Underdrive. • Final Term Ceiling is what ensures that the first gear ratio is achieved when it matches the Convergence Factor. This means that if you add 1 to a Final Term of -1: (-1 + 1) and make it zero, you'll get 1.00 : 1.00 as an output from the formula. If you add 1 again, it produces a number that is > 1.00. If you continue to increase the Final Term incrementally by 1, by the time it equals the given Convergence Factor, the formula will produce the desired first gear ratio that was set as your Point of Convergence. Example: • Using 1÷(1−((1−(1÷3))÷8)×(−1)) for a 10-speed transmission, it will produce the following ratios from 1st to 10th gear (rounded to the nearest hundredth): 3.00, 2.40, 2.00, 1.71, 1.50, 1.33, 1.20, 1.09, 1.00, and 0.92. • The reason it has 8 as the Convergence Factor is because it is for a 10-speed gearbox wherein there are 9 steps between the given ratio of first gear and the resulting ratio of last gear, so (9 + -1) = a Final Term Ceiling of 8, and that ceiling (8 - -1) = 9, which preserves the Step Length of 9 for a 10-speed. Whenever the Final Term matches the Convergence Factor, the result will always = Point of Convergence, which is in this case 3.00 at 1st gear. • Of course, if you keep the Point of Convergence at 3.00 but lower the Final Term Floor to something that is < -1, say -2 or even -3, it will produce several levels of Overdrive and will create a more gradual progression both converging to the Point of Convergence and diverging towards the Nth gear. The opposite of this is true if you want less overdrive and desire a final gear of 1.00:1.00. Just make the Final Term Floor = 0, and the step length of N-1 for a 10-speed that is 9 would be seen as the Point of Convergence because (9 + 0) = 9. Key Principles & Advantages: • Exponential Scaling: The formula generates gear ratios that follow an exponential decay pattern where going in the direction further from the Point of Convergence there is progressively less delta between consecutive ratios (convergence). This results in a "wider" ratio spread amongst the lower gears, prioritizing torque at lower speeds, and each gear above the previous becomes progressively closer on the delta between consecutive ratios (divergence) as they get closer to the Nth gear. Obviously, given the sheer number of gears and the other parameters in the formula, you can scale exactly how steep this exponential decay (convergence towards Point of Convergence and divergence towards the Nth gear) is and exactly how gradual or sudden it is to get the set of ratios that best suits your needs and vehicle using pure algebra. This is a mathematically precise way to take advantage of the nature of geometric exponential feedback loops, that yields numerically perfect and scalably balanced ratio spreads with zero guesswork beyond the input of initial values. • Adaptable Convergence and Divergence: The Step Length adjusts dynamically based on the number of gears and desired Overdrive as determined by the Final Term Floor, ensuring seamless integration across various transmission setups. • Precise Overdrive Control: The Final Term Floor value allows for precise control over the top gear's overdrive level, enabling customization for specific tracks and racing strategies. • Consistent Step Length: The formula maintains a consistent step length (N - 1) between gear ratios, ensuring a balanced and predictable progression for smoother shifts and improved driver control. Ratio Spreads from 10 to 3-speed • Here is a series of charts for a 10-speed all the way down to a 3-speed. I chose a first gear of 3.00 : 1.00 as it is a median between 4.00 : 1.00 and 2.00 : 1.00, and I adjusted the Final Term Floor to -1 to apply a single level of overdrive to all of the spreads. Of course, you can manipulate these values at will to make your own charts. • The formula used for these ratio spreads is as follows: 1÷(1−((1−(1÷3))÷Step Length)×(−1)) and here are the results: 10-speed: 1÷(1−((1−(1÷3))÷8)×(−1, 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8)) 1=3.00 (8) 2=2.40 (7) 3=2.00 (6) 4=1.71 (5) 5=1.50 (4) 6=1.33 (3) 7=1.20 (2) 8=1.09 (1) 9=1.00 (0) 10=0.92 (-1) 9-speed: 1÷(1−((1−(1÷3))÷7)×(−1, 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7)) 1=3.00 (7) 2=2.33 (6) 3=1.91 (5) 4=1.62 (4) 5=1.40 (3) 6=1.24 (2) 7=1.11 (1) 8=1.00 (0) 9=0.91 (-1) 8-speed: 1÷(1−((1−(1÷3))÷6)×(−1, 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6)) 1=3.00 (6) 2=2.25 (5) 3=1.80 (4) 4=1.50 (3) 5=1.29 (2) 6=1.13 (1) 7=1.00 (0) 8=0.90 (-1) 7-speed: 1÷(1−((1−(1÷3))÷5)×(−1, 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5)) 1=3.00 (5) 2=2.14 (4) 3=1.67 (3) 4=1.36 (2) 5=1.15 (1) 6=1.00 (0) 7=0.88 (-1) 6-speed: 1÷(1−((1−(1÷3))÷4)×(−1, 0, 1, 2, 3, 4)) 1=3.00 (4) 2=2.00 (3) 3=1.50 (2) 4=1.20 (1) 5=1.00 (0) 6=0.86 (-1) 5-speed: 1÷(1−((1−(1÷3))÷3)×(−1, 0, 1, 2, 3)) 1=3.00 (3) 2=1.80 (2) 3=1.29 (1) 4=1.00 (0) 5=0.82 (-1) 4-speed: 1÷(1−((1−(1÷3))÷2)×(−1, 0, 1, 2)) 1=3.00 (2) 2=1.50 (1) 3=1.00 (0) 4=0.75 (-1) 3-speed: 1÷(1−((1−(1÷3))÷1)×(−1, 0, 1)) 1=3.00 (1) 2=1.00 (0) 3=0.60 (-1)

[@Harmonic14]

@@joshuastanlick6217 it's cool that you went through all the trouble to do that, but unfortunately that's not the best way to optimize gears because every engine's power and torque curves are different, and each track has different cornering speeds. Going with the philosophy I demonstrated in the video will get you better results in less time.

[@joshuastanlick6217]

@@Harmonic14I do not concur. Adjusting the terms in the formula can give a mathematically precise set of ratios, and even if they may need further refinement after initial calculation because the mechanics aren't intuitive, they are still an excellent reference and will always win out in precision with just a bit of study. I know it isn't the only method, and if a more organic approach is your jam, that is indeed cool as well. I prefer to take 3-5 minutes to crunch some numbers and get something numerically perfect based on gear spread, amount of gears, and things like the torque and power curves of a combustion engine, which the commensurate scaling addresses passively, rather than eyeballing things. For others who prefer a more technical approach, I'm sure they'd appreciate the coolness of my work, which I have provided to enhance your more organic approach. I think a combination of precision and eyeballing things can yield the most effective results.

@@Harmonic14 I encourage you to play with the values in my formula: 1÷(1−(((1−(1÷Desired_1stGear))÷Scale_Factor)×((1+Increment_Factor))) to see what kind of results it can produce for you.

[@joshuastanlick6217]

@@Harmonic14 Or, use one of the provided gear sets that I calculated using 1÷(1−(((1−(1÷3))÷Scale_Factor)×((−1+Increment_Factor))) and see how that works out for you before implementing the organic approach.

Thanks for your time and effort your putting into these videos it shows there is more to this than just getting behind the wheel and going for it as to say,

Keep doing these videos. I need help tuning my JDM cars

[@a1b3do]

Great video. It'd be awesome to see you go through the entire process you take to tune a car, still have no idea where to start, or which components to tackle in which sequence. Even if it's just a one-take stream with narration.

Great vid. Thank you man👊

[@c.c.s.1102]

I learned a lot thanks mate. Any video on driving physics is cool!

You’re doing the lords work my son

[@nicohfdc]

This is incredible, thank you very much. Hopefully we'll see more of these tutorials!
