I don’t post on here too often but will start to do from now on! Every since the dawn of time as we know it (Forza 1) people have asked me how I go about tuning and building cars to hit the top times on the leaderboards. I have finally given in and since there is a break in the FRC schedule for the time being I have decided to create a new Youtube channel dedicated to tuning guides.
At the minute there is only one video on there, but over the next few weeks (next one on Wednesday) I’ll be walking the viewers through the process I undertake when selecting, building and tuning a car. Over a series of episodes I will be outlining my understanding of each area (camber, toe, springs etc) and ultimately with the aim of topping the leaderboards in that particular car. Something I am going to call ‘Project: Vulcan’
If you have any questions, suggestions for videos or anything at all really, Please don’t hesitate. If you like the content, then obviously subscribe click the little bell thing and you’ll get a notification when the next video is up!
This video is the first in a series I am going to be doing concentrating on the hyper car Aston Martin Vulcan. Getting to know the car, my process of tuning from the start, homologation, with the ultimate aim of setting some leaderboard topping times around a few tracks.
Chaps, the next episode is out. Any shares / retweets / likes / comments are much appreciated as usual! Let me know your thoughts, and go try out the car so far!
Endurance GT ready car tune for the Vette C7.R - If i could do the last corner of Silverstone i’d have number 2 behind JSR Rossi… Video up and tune shared under ‘TPR Zermatt’ called ‘Silverstone’
Hi, I just watched your alignment tuning guide and noted that you were using the camber numbers from the telemetry. Those numbers arent showing wheel camber to road surface, they appear to be wheel camber to true vertical - which means they are useless unless you are on a perfectly flat track like parts of test airfield.
Having said that, those camber numbers in telemetry are useful for reverse engineering the camber in a locked tune, but again it really needs to be done on flat ground
I know that some have perfected the art of alignment tuning using the Heat screen in telemetry. However, as turns vary in radius, speed, and hence G load / body roll, I’ve struggled. Best I came up with was test track airfield, run a short race, watch the replay, spool it forward and back and watch telemetry to find point of max G in turn, then review tire temps that that exact point.
