ford coupe has two presets in A for the weekly, FE might also work
I am reminded that I had seen this in an Ericshipp111 video several weeks back and completely forgot about it.
Could have saved us all some time and effort and at least narrowed the restriction a bit.
Apologies.
This shows that the restriction information is being sent out to the lucky few but they are not doing anything with it.
No negativity towards creators but Iād have thought that if you had the restrictions, and thus an advantage over other players, then your videos would get easy views but it seems most creators are more concerned with the rewards not restrictions.
I wouldnāt expect the restrictions to be under any different embargo than the rewards (unless someone in-the-know wants to tell me different) so it bugs me that the info is being sent out but is being ignored.
Without the the live-streams, I think this information should just be put on Forza net for everyone one series at a time.
Week 4 seems to be a bit of a mess for the Expansion championships and main PR stunts too. Iāve made educated guesses about some of it but there are question marks and the thumbnails are odd - 2010ās but 2 A class and 1 S2 class cars pictured for main playlist stunts
Iām thinking I might go with a RWD 911 GT1 for the trial. I did Ruta Norte in 1:58.402 or something today. Stock tires, full aero.
Iām sick and quarantining with a small TV. Iām usually a lot better with the big TV, so I dont know how good that time is. But I think Iām going to just leave it there for now because driving with a fever and squinting at a small TV, all while coughing every 4 seconds, just isnt fun.
The problem with a RWD 911 GT1 is Iām going to fall way behind at the start and will have to deal with all the trial traffic. Probably a bad idea ā¦
Hereās to a speedy recovery!
Thanks. I have that RSV ⦠for the second xmas season in a row. Apparently Santa doesnt like me ⦠probably because of my tradition of watching the Bad Santa movies on repeat like a lot of people watch A Christmas Story, and my non festive demeanor.
And because Iām out of my right mind now, Iāll share 2 RWD 911 GT1 tunes. They are both ridiculous trial options ⦠that Iām 100% going to use. Unless the trial is in wet conditions. Actually, scratch that. Iām going driver cam with no assists in these no matter what. I 100% DONāT recommend either of these if anyone wants the trial to be easy.
#1 ⦠435 380 162 ⦠āRuta Norte v1.04ā
RWD with full aero. 932 hp/695 KW. Iām not the best āRWD power build in S1ā driver, but this one isnāt that hard to drive without assists.
01:58.402 at Ruta Norte.
I raced that ghost a bunch and it was a pretty good run. Bad runs were still under 2 minutes. 1.5 seconds at the end of this route is a lot of distance.
#2 ⦠394 850 906 ⦠āRuta Norte v2.03ā
01:58.202 at Ruta Norte. Will probably keep this car on the Ruta Norte leaderboard. It can do better.
RWD with rear spoiler only. 1111 hp/828 KW. Now ⦠this one was extra spicy. It realed in a ridiculous number of car lengths on the 1:58.402 ghost. Bad runs still were under 2 minutes.
The first few turns were the trickiest for both tunes. The full aero build did that fast middle section flat out, while the rear spoiler only required lifting in places where the full aero build didnāt. (Edit: by the way, this rear spolier only build does this route in 3rd and 4th gear. If youāre in a lower gear, you want to get to 3rd ASAP. And you never need to be in 5th. The full aero build uses 5th here, but not this one.)
I wanted to build a usable version with stock aero, but its either not competitive or beyond my skill level. Used stock tires for both. Drag tires wouldnāt get it turned. Rally tires sacrificed too much power.
If anyone uses either of these for anything, whatever you do, keep it on the road and off the grass. And if its wet, you probably want to abort mission.
Never have I had a reply to get well wishes such as this, a gift of RWD tunes
Jeez! You must be delirious, also have had to ogle what RSV is, seems to be the one ailment I havenāt had, so will probably come down with it as Iāve read your reply, yet another strange gift to my sending of āget wellā wishes
Actually, being a bit of a masochist Iāll try your tune, thanks
Oh, p.s. The Grinch was my apprentice
I really was out of it yesterday. Temperature of 103 degrees F/39.4 degrees C. RSV is a respiratory virus ⦠for me, fever, cough, throat and chest mostly. Iām on my 6th day and my fever is down, but its in my chest more today and I almost feel like Im drowning. Worried Im going to get pneumonia. Last year it was multiple weeks. Ugh.
The good news is ⦠I got an even better gift today. Hehe. If you or anybody downloaded either of the 911 GT1 tunes I shared yesterday (I see a few people did), the one I made today is wayyyyyyyy better. Iāll both share it for download ⦠and post the entire open build and tune below so anyone can fix it as they see fit. Happy holidays.
The 911 GT1 tune I wanted to make yesterday was a purist build, RWD with no aero ⦠because the race aero is ugly and doesnt go with the classic Le Mans liveries. I failed yesterday, but succeeded today.
01:58.051 at Ruta Norte, can do better, very easy to drive.
SC: 192 246 225 ⦠āPurist v3.02ā
Open build (if not listed, its stock) ⦠355 mm rear tires, max rear track width, (edit: also the 1st upgraded front track width), race weight reduction, race fuel system, race camshaft, sport twin turbo, race flywheel, sport transmission, race driveline, race differential.
Open Tune:
Tires ⦠31 psi front and rear
Final drive ⦠2.64 (hits top speed in 5th gear)
Camber ⦠-3.0 front, -1.0 rear
Toe ⦠0.0 front, 0.0 rear
Front caster angle ⦠6.5
Antiroll bars ⦠36.00 front, 1.00 rear
Springs ⦠800.5 front, 785.7 rear
Ride height ⦠1.5 front, 1.5 rear
Rebound stiffness ⦠8.8 front, 8.5 rear
Bump stiffness ⦠6.1 front, 5.2 rear
Braking balance ⦠50%
Braking force ⦠76%
Diff acceleration ⦠8%
Diff deceleration⦠32%
At least when I drive it ⦠when Iām in turns, it turns well and I can pump the gas pedal as its turning, gradually getting back on the power ⦠then stand on the gas pedal pretty early on exit. No wanting to step out. Smooth. For me at least, its probably the easiest to drive RWD power-ish type tune Ive ever come up with for a car with this much power. It really like this thing.
Thanks and hope you feel better soon.
Hey, big thanks for this tune, have d/loaded the others, just about to try them out right now and will d/load the latest one. Not expecting much as Iām usually AWD so itāll be my own masterless driving skills And along with Burma
sorry to hear itās been that bad, but you seem to be on the mend albeit unfortunately the chestiness could take a while, Iāve got copd and numerous other ailments and am 65, so at least you have your youth (Anything under 55 is young in my book
) Get Well Mate!
Thanks to both of you for the well wishes. Im about to turn 50, so my days of being young in almost anyoneās book are numbered. Im going to be old for sure before it sinks in.
Iāve given them all a go and they are (mostly)easy enough to get around, especially for rwd cars. The one with the most power was a bit much for me but the other two were very good. Not sure Iām brave enough to use for the trial though - the smoothness needed to drive them is somewhat difficult when you are getting punted around on all sides by your teammates.
Only less than 4 hours before the season start but if anyone happens to read this beforehandā¦
