Season 3 - Radical SR3-RS Tuning Thread

Im yet to do any running on Zolder, but in my experience there's no point starting from scratch if you've got a balance that feels good for you - If you evolve your tune from one round to the next then itll get better and better as the season goes on (unless there's a radical change up of track conditions). You'll also find you spend less and less time tuning as the season progresses, because the basic setup of the car is getting more and more in tune with your style. So put in the effort in the first round or two and itll start to pay off with more speed in the business end of the season.

So, start with what you used in the Brno race and then fine tune the basics - tyre pressures, diff ratio and aero to suit the track - that should give an ok starting point.

Then see what, if any, behaviour you need to correct to suit the track specifics (such as bumps and curbs) and go from there...

yeah thats my plan spectre. i had great car balance and tunes out the oversteer issues, so just gonna work on getting some more speed on the straights for Zolder this week, without losing too much time in the corners. basically shift the balance a little bit to the straight line speed and should be ready to go.

My qual lap from Brno if anyone's interested (Div 1 P2 by 0.026sec) - Not my fastest or smoothest lap but it was good enough for the front row. A few mistakes in there which probably cost me another tenth or two...

hey if i set my tune for BRNO while i was in practice on track, will it save as a standard for all tracks or do i have to do it in the garage for that to happen? wanna tweak it tonight for Zolder but really dont want to have to start from scratch again.

If you change your tune on track at Brno it will only apply it to Brno... Go into your garage back in the main menu, load up the SR3 with Brno tune and then select save to all circuits - then it'll come up when you load up Zolder in practice mode

Awesone thanks mate.

Hi guys,

Can I get some help with tuning the car please? I'm pretty useless when it comes to this stuff but you guys seem to know what you're talking about. I've had a read through this thread but haven't really found anything definitive. Thanks in advance.

It comes down to each persons driving style.

But if you start by dropping tire pressures a bit. Throw 5-10laps in and have a look at pressures. Find a balance. Dont let them exceed 110degrees. 90-100 I find to work for me.

Lower camber a little. Specially on the rear.
Drop front wing to 1. Rear wing to the lowest level possible that u can drive with..

Thanks mate. I'll give that a shot and see how my times look at Zolder before/after.

There's a couple of base setups for the SR3 on www.projectcarssetups.eu/ which are a good place to start, but the base tune on this car is half decent as well.

As per @MrF1 post above start with lowering the tyre pressures, other basic changes are setting the diff ratio to suit the top speed on the longest straight and then start playing with the aero to suit the track type (e.g. low downforce for Monza and high downforce for Monaco for example). They're the basic settings that will tune the car to suit the particular track and the track conditions.

Post up any issues you're having and we'll try to give you some ideas to correct them.

Thanks for that link, that'll probably prove to be very useful! You seem like a great bunch of guys, I'm very glad I found this community.

We accept cash or paypal

If anyone's keen to run a full length practice race tonight i'll get one going after 9 AEST.

You can count me in, just sent you a friend request on PSN.

Will be on after Parker, Takam fight.

Well. Zolders done and dusted.
Onto Sakitto.
I downed some laps with Stew and others last night. From a tuning bases there isn't much to do to the car other then up tire pressures slightly and lower rear wing IMO.
We were well into the 1.04s after a few laps.
I expect fast guys to drop a 1.03 without a sweat.

Expect the fast guys to be in the 1:02s

Like you I'm watching your pace vh

That's just his humble way of saying I'm doing 1:02's
