Gran Turismo 5

[MmmmBeeeeer]

I think the NASCAR I did full downforce front and back, SRF on and TC at 2. Finished 5th with several mishaps, I think I even spun out once.

I don't have the setups for the Focus and RX-7 races I was using, but I'm trying these tomorrow, straight from GTPlanet:

RX-7

Mazda RX-7 Spirit R Type A (FD) '02
- Stage 3 weight Reduction/windows/carbon hood (1051Kg)
- Rigidity Improvement
- Added all aero parts (set to 0/28)
- Fully custom transmission (set to 193mph)
- Sports Intake Manifold + Racing Air Filter
- Sports ECU + Stage 2 Engine Tuning (394 HP)
- Catalytic converter + Titanium Semi-racing exhaust
- Fully custom Suspension (Ride Height -20/-20, Springs 16.0/6.3, Dampers 10/5, 10/5, ARB 4/4, camber 2.0/2.0, toe 0/0)
- Twin clutch plates + Carbon propeller shaft + Semi-racing flywheel
- Brakes set to 8/9
- Tyres were Sports Hard as standard
- ABS 1, TC 0, SRF off, ASM off, Driving line off

(I'll probably have to put SRF on, this setup was done by Synwraith who is ridiculously good)

Focus:

ride height adjustment: front(-10), Rear(25)
spring rate: front (12.5), rear (6.7)
dampers(extension): front (7), rear (3)
dampers(compression) front (3), rear (4)
anti-roll bars: front (4), rear(4)

camber angle: both 0
toe angle: front(0), rear(0.50)

Again, most people have SRF on because it drops your lap times 1-1.5 seconds

NASCAR thing is still pissing me off that I can't do it... guess I'll do the Peugot race or something to make money to buy another

[MmmmBeeeeer]

Yea which one the Seasonal or the Specials?

For the Specials I have found out by accident that if you turn ABS completely off, then the car is even faster. I can only see you needing brakes at the Indy Speedway. All the Daytona stuff you can do w/o brakes I am sure of it.

Seasonal because I have too much HP lol I DESTROYED the Nascar Cup thing by almost 9-10 seconds per race... the Specials I can't really do too well for some reason

I haven't tried the season. I don't feel like buying that heap. But I keep reading that the people are having shitload of success dropping the car as close to the ground as possible. And increasing the downforce.

For the specials, the ABS trick may help a lot, I struggle for a hours on that and only found out about the ABS trick till the last event. Pisses me off because logically it sorta does make sense........WHY THE FUCK WOULD I NEED BRAKES IN NASCAR?!?.......and I didn't think of it.

I'm trying to get this FIAT right so I can race with you guys tonight... I might of made it too light lol two corners are giving me trouble at Laguna with how it is set up right now

Well, let me tell you what I see. I see pride! I see power! I see a bad-ass mother who don't take no crap off of nobody!!!!

THANK YOU!!!!!!!

I beat this race last night. The only thing I changed was the top speed (took it down 4 notches IRRC). Took me 4 or so tries.

I wish I knew how to set up my car (besides top speed setting lol). You are the fucking man!

Was the setup your own or did you use someone else's? If you have any more for the other races (season special) I would be very grateful!

Once again, thanks!

The 2nd round of Bonus Events is much more of a challenge imo.

I still have yet to Gold the RX-7, Focus, and NASCAR, but I can see doing them all except the Focus one. Not sure wtf to do on that one.

The NASCAR one I've only gotten 5th in one try, but it definitely feels doable if I could keep the car on the track for 2 laps :laugh:

Oh, and I had to go buy another NASCAR because my Juan Montoya one was over the HP limit

The Focus one I can get second with no problem. If I had any idea how to setup my car, I could win this. A few times I have been able to get within 4 seconds of the leader.
