Combo GT3/Nurburgring GP...where is that 2 secs?

With some 20 laps practice of this combo, I'm getting close to run < 2mins now (2:00.280), but still can't get there....

The car setup is almost left untouched, except for lowering a little bit of tyre pressure (minus 1 click) and ride height (minus 1 click), and finally the rear wing (minus 2 click), brake bias 73%, TC level 11, ABS, other assist OFF, on slick soft....... so apparently those changes are not significant to the general balance of the car.

Need advice of a setup that can run under 2:00 easily, is there any? RSR world record (BMW Z4 GT3) is now 1'57.945, where is that 2 secs? Advices from PC racers are also welcome, thanks!

Below is my practice lap for your reference.

 

You're a little too aggressive on the brakes and you're going a little too deep into a lot of the corners. Try carrying less speed going into the corner and try coming out of the turns faster. Can make up some time on the chicane, you're not using the curbs so much.

Its practice and improvements. You're good overall, just need to tidy it up a little, be a little more smooth on your inputs and it will come slowly.

 

Agree and thanks for the advice, the biggest problem was "too aggressive" and not being smooth enough...I see it now

so problems are

1. Too aggressive, not being smooth
2. brake too late, come out slow
3. not using curbs so much (Michael Schumacher-S and last Chicane)
4. I watch myself again...turn 4 should have used 3rd gear earlier so i could full throttle it more safely

 

and 1 corner has been bothering so much......can somebody tell me whether I have done correctly on Turn 8 (Dunlop-Kehre)??

 

Did good for the most part I tried this morning to beat your time. I was in rush before work and only could do 2:04 with a controller but I am determined lol

 

It's not a match my friend...I am just seeking for advice, thanks for trying out for me though! ^^

 

1 - you need to make your gears shorter, you don't even go through half of 6th gear ever, so you're loosing a lot of speed
2 - try using TC at level 1, it's much more suited for hotlapping
3 - you're too narrow on turn 7, you need to attack kerbs more
4 - you're too narrow on entering turn 11, you must go wider on astroturfs

 

I figured that but that time was good I wanna see if I can beat it. I shorted my gear ratio put aero at 4 in rear. Changed front camber to -2 and rear at -1.5. I also lowered a bit more in both front and rear diff setting is 40 power 70 coast and it's running good I did 2.00.561 the guy who did 1.57 I don't see how I just watched his video and am lost lol

 

Gonna post the video probably tomorrow once it finishes uploading so you can see how I take corners maybe we can help each other out remember I'm on a controller though so a bit harder for me if your using a wheel. I don't think I had this much fun though just hot lapping in a game before lol

 

Where did you see that guy's 57s video? Can you post the link here?

 

It's probably outdated, last tyre version are little slower than the old ones...

 

I see...then probably it should be an apple to apple comparison because I heard that console AC is now a version behind PC.....so that means I could be much slower than I did in the video....arrrr...long way to go!

 

From what i've seen consoles must have Tyre Model V7 on GT3, same as PC version have now. So you can refer to times in RSR leaderboard, all records there are on V7 tyre model.
I will try to make setup for Z4/Nurburgring on PC later today, then you will try it on console, will see how it will affect your laptimes...

 

@LotusTeam looks better than in the other thread.

Some things:
- last corner in outlap was too slow, there you already thrown away a 59 lap
- corner 4 is much easier with short shifting to third before (but this is also a question of gearing)
- corner 6 was also too slow, try to get faster to the left after corner 5 for a better entry
- dunlop is tricky... you start braking at the right side of track so you needed to rotate the car too much at entry. brake at the left side with the car heading a bit into the corner, then you can brake later and the corner entry will get mich easier
- Schumacher S seems to be too much lifting (but this could be setup related)
- Kumho and Bit corner looks not bad, but there is also some space for more speed
- and the chicane you must be more aggresive with the curbs, you lost at least half a second here
- last corner was much better than in the outlap

But the weakest point is still your gearing, which doesn't help you enough while braking and you got some lack of power at apex because of low rpm.

I can also have a look in the evening, I think I have got an old Z4 setup on my HD. I will give it a try and report back if it still works.

 

thanks Jaye please see my inserts

 

Still at work

- last corner just like in the end of your lap, short brake and downshift at the left side, take it close to the wall and early throttle.
- schumacher S seems an overall rotation problem, maybe lower stabis could help here and/or more stiffness. I'm not a setup god, but first thing I do when I'm not able to get around a corner as fast as I think I should then I lower stabis. In GT3s you can also use the right curb before even if this one is a little bit high, but so you got more space for a better overall line.
- chicane: important is the left curb on entry. Using it means an much better angle for the second part, so less turning is needed and you can carry much more speed.

Maybe in around 4 hours I can have a look at my old Z4 settings and hopefully a new RSR record

 

Im sure theres a thread that states due to a bug the clock in AC isnt real time. So your actual timings could be different

 

Thanks Jaye! I am from Hong Kong and I am calling it a day now, so good night and let's see what you can do in this combo, thanks for your valuable advice again^^

 

wow that's very annoying isn't it? I don't know where am I now...

Does this bug time you faster or slower and how much?

 

Not sure. Ill try find the thread
