I tried CE on Le Mans yesterday. Thought it would be easy since I run LeMans all the time. And it mostly was. But, holy crap you can take that last section fast in the Peugeot! I golded each section but not the whole lap yet. Because it could take a while. You make one tiny mistake and forget it, 3 minutes lost. So a little tedious. Especially annoying if you trip up close to the end.

I lost traction at the last chicane, and missed gold my .2 seconds. Rather annoyed. Lol

I can't win any of the Human Comedy races to save my life. And apparently all the advice/tuning set ups I find online are all "pre-update" and worthless. And the AI has no qualms about spinning your ass out either.

2 or 3 shouldn't be too hard with the right cars. The Trial Mtn one should be on the easiee side since it is a one make race. I remember the kei car one sucked hardcore.

I'll have to look mine up later.

I think that one was one of the easier ones to win.

Honestly I hadn't tried the single make ones yet because I'm a cheap ass and don't own the Miata or BAC. Over my lunch break however (snicker snicker) I bought the BAC and let loose on Trial Mountain. Upgraded brakes, transmission LSD and bought SS tires.

"Easily" won. I say easily in that I won by 48 seconds but also I didn't make any mistakes. (Okay I didn't brake early enough for the final chicane and touched the wall - 1.5 sec penalty, but otherwise nothing!). I saw advice online to pit every twenty minutes and to start on SS tires but them switch to SM for the final 2 stints. I'm not sure why that was suggested - going 20 min on the SS tires is more than doable. So I did SS/SM/SS.

I've struggled on Kyoto (best finish 3rd place pre-update, recently my best is 10th, lol). Also Alsace I got 15th (bronze, woohoo!) and 2nd at Deep Forest.

I think I did the BAC race on just medium tires with focusing on tire wear.

Kaotic Lazagna · 05-10-2022, 10:16 PM

My BAC and Miata settings.tm These were before the update, so PP has changed. I would just add some ballast and/or reduce the ECU output to bring the PP back down.

I'd probably also retune the suspension now since cars are more understeer-y. Also, I don't think those are where I had the gear ratio/speed set to. Post update, all of my cars have been put to some random speed.

What kind of retarded mind in GT thought it was a great idea to make a miata 1hr race in the rainstorm? I forgot to buy IM & W tires, so I was stuck racing in RH… result is, I took 3rd place in the first try. I’ve adjusted lil bit more now, so now my miata is pushing +280bhp! I’ll try again tomorrow w this setup

WolfpackS2k · 05-11-2022, 08:18 AM

GT's obsession with RAIN in so many races is getting more than a bit annoying. They need to recalibrate their calculating for that. Also, if they're going to simulate a long race by speeding up time then we need radar screens that are able to show a few hundred miles out.

Beat Kyoto last night. Apparently trying to win with an old car (22b) was a horrible idea. Was pretty easy with a Mk5 Supra on RH. Added custom transmission, race brakes, front splitter & rear wing (when tuned to max downforce this actually reduced PP) and race exhaust and the PP was right on 550.00. Won by around 15 seconds.

Wait, how do you have more power, but less weight and still have a lower PP than mine?

You have custom Racing tran, but I have custom manual is one factor. If you look at the height of the car, you have it 95 vs mine is 105. LSD setup is different as well. IDK how you can adjust your front downforce, cuz mine can't. There are few other things that keeping it PP under 600. Yesterday after the race, I've changed up more and I think, I got it up to 287bhp now & still upder pp600.

Haha if that was the case, they should of let me win instead of p20 ramming me in the heavy rain and make me go off track and lose near 20secs and 3 positions.

Kaotic Lazagna · 05-11-2022, 11:51 AM

Ah, and your rear downforce is much higher than mine. I don't know why my front is adjustable, but yours isn't. I don't think I even messed with adjusting the downforce on the Miata. Lol

And I see you kept the toe in on the rear. I zeroed mine out, which really increases the PP.
