CasperGTI Posted January 4, 2011 Report Share Posted January 4, 2011 I found the soft tyres get hot too quickly. Saying that I didnt have the full LSD when I tried with them.You use alot of negative camber, I'm gonna give that a go tonight. See what I can come up with, I reckon I can take about 3-5 sec off easily just removing a few errors but I don't think I'll get anywhere near your time!!John Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GtiJames Posted January 4, 2011 Report Share Posted January 4, 2011 John I tried a lap with exactly the same settings as you then tweeked a couple things and even with an off managed to better my time bynearly 5 seconds. Can't remember exactly what I changed but I think I fully stiffened both arbs, changed the gearing for a top speed around 160ish and changed the brake balancing heavier to the front. Nowhere near as much camber as hipwell though so I might try that next! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CasperGTI Posted January 4, 2011 Report Share Posted January 4, 2011 I'll have a play tonight, soft tyres and camber to start off with I think.John Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kez1990 Posted January 4, 2011 Report Share Posted January 4, 2011 btw i recommend using the logitech driving force gt wheel its really good shaved seconds off my time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GtiJames Posted January 4, 2011 Report Share Posted January 4, 2011 Managed a 7:46.1 tonight. Still keep having a huge off at the same corner every time, if I can avoid that I reckon it'll be good for a 7:38. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hipwell Posted January 5, 2011 Report Share Posted January 5, 2011 Yeah, camber helps a bit, allows you to throw the car into the corner and maintain speed.Helps my driving style anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CasperGTI Posted January 5, 2011 Report Share Posted January 5, 2011 Really struggling with the soft tyres, can't get the suspension set up as good as it was on the medium tyres.Taken another 3 seconds off my time, but not finished having a go yet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Huw Pugh Posted January 6, 2011 Report Share Posted January 6, 2011 For the love of god I haven't seen one Gti come up in the used car sales. I have the Cup car though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hipwell Posted January 6, 2011 Report Share Posted January 6, 2011 Oh no, you can put a rear wing on the GTI. It's going to make it fly! Nice time Al, especially in the Cup Car, you got a normal GTI to use? You will be able to get into the 7.40's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Posted January 6, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 6, 2011 I think i'm at a disadvantage at the mo as my time was from a standing start in a lupo race! So i'll have to do a warm up lap and then a hot lap! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AwesomeAl Posted January 6, 2011 Report Share Posted January 6, 2011 (edited) For the love of god I haven't seen one Gti come up in the used car sales. I have the Cup car though. Whats your User ID? I'll send you one the next time one comes up in my used car thingy... I seem to come across them all the time! Nice time Al, especially in the Cup Car, you got a normal GTI to use? You will be able to get into the 7.40's.That's a Normal Lupo GTI that one Matt. Just painted it a nice Sunflowery Yellow to make it stand out! It was going to be Sepang Bronze, but the 'Brake dust' coloured wheels wouldn't go with it I think i'm at a disadvantage at the mo as my time was from a standing start in a lupo race! So i'll have to do a warm up lap and then a hot lap!Pete, My 8:32 was in the Lupo Cup race also. Edited January 6, 2011 by AwesomeAl Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Posted January 7, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 7, 2011 Grrr!! I fitted the wing and managed a 7.41 but shot wide on karousel and invalidated my time!!! I'll keep working on it but need to calm down abit, gonna try fiddling with the camber I think, got 1.5 front and 3 on rear, might loosen the roll bars up too, although I like it a bit twitchy!
