GSW Challenge #2 - Open Source Winning Tune - C500 Celica 03

Hi Folks ,

Below is the open source tune for the 03 Celica that won GSW KnuckleHeads FWD challenge # 2 .

it was tuned for Road Atlanta Short , but seems pretty good on RA full and Alps as well with a tweak to 6 th gear .

Please tweak away , to suit your personal driving style .

I was tweaking on it for days and ended up in the mid 1:02’s with it .

Ultimately couldn’t make up my mind about the diff, sometimes felt better as low as 30% ( it certainly does on the Alps )

Tune is also up on my share front. Search my GT or GSW CHALL2

This thing is a BEAST!!!

Glad you are sharing it.

Holds my PB @ Road Atlanta Short - 1:03.953. But I am Captain Slow!!

A very nice setup Mr Fade. You have the gearbox dialed in perfectly.

Thanks for sharing this & I agree, It is a beast!

rock solid indeed. Ran it for 14 laps and ended up at 1:02.852 (#67).
Added you to my followed so I can track some of your times :slight_smile:

just three laps in freeplay mode on Bermese Alps Club and just snuck infront of your 1:28.4xx with my 1:28.103 (#138)

Nice to see others getting some good times with this.
Chicken I’m going to have to take another stab at Alps… LOL

That’s a lot more front camber than I would ever use, thanks for the tip. Been using camber settings from F4 and it seems like F5 wants more negative.

Yes, definitely more camber than I have seen, probably since FM3…but the car feels great. Only got to run it on two tracks last night before my Xbox curfew :slight_smile: Want to run it on more, and also compare it to the tune Lee put up for the Celica. I am willing to just scrap the build/setup I tried for the Celica as there are now multiple top tunes to use now for C500.

I’ll post up some more of my Fade times when I get to more tracks. Helps running in Free mode, then going directly to rival board…helps to build affinity for Toyota (one I need to build up).

Thanks for this Mr. Fade. This tune is awesome. It really helps people that aren’t very good tuners like myself.

Awesome tune. I changed the final gear and changed the diff to 40% and put in a PB on Alps on my 2nd lap!

Do you have a list of the tunes you’ve done?

Another great tune that deserve more top 100 times in recognition. I’m sure I can improve a bit at Rd Atlanta and sneak into the top 100 there as well.

Rd Atl Club: 1:03.118 (#106)
Alps Club: 1:27.577 (#85)

Thanks for sharing. It is people like you that makes this a great community!
