The amount of laps I have on "changing the flow" my personal testing track, is well over 10k by now. You can question me improving my dominator lap times all you want, but fact is I did 40+ laps in my dominator, changed the setup and improved my time by 1.5 seconds within 4 laps (note one lap is approx 2 min in sports). I can give you the setups I used if you are interested. I'll admit, the dominator isn't my best car, but I am by no means slow with it. This is also the track i beat my osiris with my feltzer, given that was a long time ago now and i have improved with both cars so i guess the statement doesn't really hold much meaning to it. However, I am still convinced that I got faster because I switched to a harder setup.
About my "training setup". Yes, you will be both faster and more consistent in both a "fast setup" and a "consistent setup". Today. But that is not the point. The point is that the training setup will keep you on your toes at all times. Making you improve your skills faster. I'm trying to say that using a training setup for 5 months and a fast setup for one month (or even a day) will result in an ultimately faster lap time than running a fast setup for 6 months.
About the ccgp 1.02.5 time. I used Broughy lines because I wanted a direct comparison between our pace. yes I know some of that time comes from 60fps, but not all of it. the fact that I set a faster time comes from the fact that I carried more speed through the corners and or chose better lines. I did not take a single curb that wasn't directly in the racing line, if anything I missed one. I did not mid drive speed boost or double clutch or whatever you wanna call it. I did not even shortshift. It is a good reason why i chose to compare it to Broughy's time instead of Merphos, Neodarkshadow, Legitgamer (law of 11k hours) or smithy.
No thank you. I make my own setups, and I could make a stable one if I wanted to, but unless there is an event there is not really any point in doing so. And I rarely ever participate in events. My driving style is also quite unique and whatever you suggest is most likely not something that will fit my taste.
Why on earth would you bring up my banshee setup? Btw. Its gloriously balanced, you should try it. And one more thing, drifting is my art. When i learn a car, I drift it, then I drift at lower and lower angles until I'm not drifting anymore. this is how I find the grip limit. the reason i do it this way is because most cars in gta have more rear traction than front traction, if you just turn in most cars you will use up the front traction, but not the rear traction. with my technique you find the rear limit, and with a slight drift (Making your rear slip angle equal to your front slip angle, in a rear traction dominant car you need a slight drift to achieve this) you will be able to take some turns faster than others. Logic and tire physics will tell you that this isn't exactly how it works in real life, but it is how it works in gta v.
I assumed you were making fun of me and undermining me with that banshee setup post, because not a lot of people drift when they try to drive fast. This is why this whole thing got a little defensive, and also why i explained my drifting very carefully. Ferroci rr (sports) cause slightly front bias traction shift and reduced body roll. They also give off an effect similar to cosmo (tuners) it feels like they have more compression dampening. No I did not check chillis document for that.
Also @mrboxman1, have you tried "training setups"? Its kinda stupid to drag something trough the dirt if you haven't tried it. No offense if you have. I just prefer people burying my opinions in facts and counterexamples rather than just dragged trough the dirt.
There is a lot of ways to tune cars. The answer lies very much in what you want to achieve/create and how you want to get there. Shortest isn't always fastest.
"You" referring to multiple different people. you know who you are.

Thanks for tagging me and making me aware that you felt the need to reply. I thought seen as you were so keen to reply to the points I made - I'll return the favour, but I'll tag you and let you know that it's there. The amount of laps I have on "changing the flow" my personal testing track, is well over 10k by now. You can question me improving my dominator lap times all you want, but fact is I did 40+ laps in my dominator, changed the setup and improved my time by 1.5 seconds within 4 laps (note one lap is approx 2 min in sports). I can give you the setups I used if you are interested. I'll admit, the dominator isn't my best car, but I am by no means slow with it.

Making you improve your skills faster. I'm trying to say that using a training setup for 5 months and a fast setup for one month (or even a day) will result in an ultimately faster lap time than running a fast setup for 6 months. I don't recall either of your previous posts bringing up the Dominator, but as you've brought it up we'll address it. I read with great interest that you've improved your time by changing set ups, however respectfully I'd like to point out a previous comment you made: Hmmm... i guess what i was trying to say was; you wont find those 1.5-2 seconds messing round with setups that make the car more manageable. Whilst you don't specify how you've made 1.5 seconds up, we'll ask for further information. I'm intrigued to as if you consider the setup that improved your laptime made your car more or less manageable. I would suggest knowingly or not you have inadvertently made the car more manageable. I think it goes without saying the less you have to worry about in terms of predicting how a car is going to react, the more chance you have of improving your laptime. Ironically, this is a somewhat bastardised quote from a Smithy video (discussing cars that will improve you as a driver). Either way I'd like to respectively point out you can't claim two things to be true that contradict oneanother. Either a setup can improve your laptime by 1.5-2 seconds or it can't. About the ccgp 1.02.5 time. I used Broughy lines because I wanted a direct comparison between our pace. yes I know some of that time comes from 60fps, but not all of it. the fact that I set a faster time comes from the fact that I carried more speed through the corners and or chose better lines. I did not take a single curb that wasn't directly in the racing line, if anything I missed one. I did not mid drive speed boost or double clutch or whatever you wanna call it. I did not even shortshift. It is a good reason why i chose to compare it to Broughy's time instead of Merphos, Neodarkshadow, Legitgamer (law of 11k hours) or smithy. As Broughy himself has said, it's not difficult to match or better those times. I think it also goes without saying going after a Merphos, Neo or even Smithy time would be a better test of your abilities. I'm sorry I'm not familiar with LegitGamer - so I can't really comment on him/her. I would suggest (even though I've not played nor ever intend to play on PC) 30fps is a decent enough advantage. I wouldn't know how much in comparison that would give an average driver. Perhaps lock your game to 30FPS, re-do the lap and we can then draw a fair and balanced comparison. No thank you. I make my own setups, and I could make a stable one if I wanted to, but unless there is an event there is not really any point in doing so. And I rarely ever participate in events. My driving style is also quite unique and whatever you suggest is most likely not something that will fit my taste. I'm almost confused why you're here then? Like I said before don't take a shit in someone else's pool. Why on earth would you bring up my banshee setup? Btw. Its gloriously balanced, you should try it. And one more thing, drifting is my art. When i learn a car, I drift it, then I drift at lower and lower angles until I'm not drifting anymore. this is how I find the grip limit. the reason i do it this way is because most cars in gta have more rear traction than front traction, if you just turn in most cars you will use up the front traction, but not the rear traction. with my technique you find the rear limit, and with a slight drift (Making your rear slip angle equal to your front slip angle, in a rear traction dominant car you need a slight drift to achieve this) you will be able to take some turns faster than others.

This is why this whole thing got a little defensive, and also why i explained my drifting very carefully. Ferroci rr (sports) cause slightly front bias traction shift and reduced body roll. They also give off an effect similar to cosmo (tuners) it feels like they have more compression dampening. No I did not check chillis document for that. For one it was a contradiction and I mentioned it for ironic purposes. For starters you come to a thread to tell us we're doing it wrong, taking the easy way out, wasting our time - and behold you're discussing setups (granted I didn't read the full thread, but I got enough of what I needed) irrespective if it's for drifting or not. I knew if I did enough digging, I'd find something that contradicted the points you were attempting to make. Personally I've zero interest in drifting.
I look forward to your reply and respectfully remind you; nobody held a gun to your head and forced you to come here. The original birth of this thread was to help others. Perhaps in the smallest way possible. Yes there's people who come here looking for others to do the hard work for them - but personally it doesn't bother me. It is all subjective - it might work it might not, I've never promised a miracle cure and it would be foolish to do so. As I've already touched upon, there are a number of factors that determine how fast you can go - by eliminating the behaviour of the car, you can concentrate on other things to make yourself faster. The intention of me coming here from time to time to offer what insight I have, is born of the intention to help. Nothing more, nothing less. If throughout the many discussions I've had about setups/tuning I've helped one person - then I've achieved my intentions.

@fringe You say I'm contradicting myself, well yes it might look like it. But, there are different ways to go faster and I'm adressering both of them. with an easy setup you will be faster today, but you will not improve as fast over time. with a hard setup you will be slower today, but you will improve over time at a faster rate.
its about reaching your skillcap and raising your skillcap.
i am usually more concerned with the latter because i care about my overall racing ability rather than my direct day to day pace. The core of what bothered me in the first place was that no one else here seemed to have the same idea and I wanted to present a different way of looking at the problem.
I'm sorry if i came across as harsh or disrespectful, I'm here because I'm interested in tuning and in my personal opinion - which all this is for that matter - i thought you guys were missing a few aspects of tuning.
I'm sharing what I have of insight. Spending nearly 1.5 million dollars on one feltzer, 3 million on various dominators, 500k on a futo and 4-5 million on various other cars would be kind of a waste if i didn't share the experience i gained from it.

First of all..I admit it...I basically only do Stunt Races..Im an old man and the more defined track of stunt races are easier for my old eyes to see..If I do street races I generally finish up wrapped around a lamp post ☹...I have been racing with some high end Pc guys...and can't get near them, though I love trying..anyway my question is...X80 Proto..tuners or off road tyres...or does it depend on the track. Also I see a lot of top end racers in X80s without a spoiler ?..grateful for any advise and what your setup is. Cheers 👍

Cheers 👍 For me X80 has always been best with Off Roads and the middle spoiler and zero cosmetic mods. Although I have heard of PC guys and some console players running with no spoiler. But personally I don't think the spoiler makes too much of a difference. With Tuners it's a bit more nimble (as you'd expect) but also prone to spinning out more IMO.

Try different tires or suspension Considering there are no other real options other than tyres and suspension that are going to make a signifficant difference, trust Sunken to state the blind obvious! Anyway, victorfilm ... If the car is balanced Use whatever you want, personally it's Rock Crawlers in the Off Road catagory. Too much understeer Fujiwara in Tuners. Too much oversteer Slideways in Tuners.
