Im finding it a bit hard to go faster than about 00:51 right now on the TG Challenge. Im at the point of getting about 10K each time I move up on THAT run, but I keep making some stupid mistake and ruining the lap.

The Lancia Stratos challenge you did however, I usually beat your lap by a good 3-4 seconds....but like I said, I keep tapping some traffic on accident. Irritating losing a whole lap (and likely, the NEXT Lap, too) due to that ****.

I do remember it is pretty hard to get a clean lap in traffic on that track. That's also one of my favorite tracks and this time the Stratos is actually drivable!

I shared a car that you might want to wear a brown paper bag when driving I used it for one of the city car challenges

I'm sure it won't be any worse that Shado's pink car... Ask him about it.

Check out the FIA GT-R in the club

Anyone found a damn good drag car that's NOT a Bugatti/Datsun/R32 Skyline?

[Flushnismo]

Is there a limit on the number of cars in a club garage? It won't let me share any of mine.

[Zaggeron]

^^ I noticed some glitches with the garage last night -- some cars that I and others had shared are showing up black -- that is, they are there, but the picture is just a black box. There's a few complaint threads about it on forzamotorsports.net forums. Perhaps they've disabled uploading to the garage till they get the issue fixed.

[Lemers]

Well at least im not the only one with this problem. I think they are there, they just aren't shown. But you can still click on them.

LOL...I added that Datsin 510 drag car in the 370 OG group. I need to retune it for qtr mile. I was trying to break 200 mph in the flying mile.

Other cars can be built into good drag cars as long as you set the suspension up right. That just takes time and patience.

I suck at tuning can anyone give some good pointers for different setups

I usually start with a standard set of settings for general circuit use and then tweak accordingly. I don't go so far as to make separate setups for different tracks, but many people do. Also, alot of the setup depends on how your drive, what type of controller you use, and whether you use any of the driver's aids.

That said, try this

I usually set the cambers settings to -1 front and rear, the front toe to + .1 and rear toe to -.1, and the caster to 5.5

The springs I set depending on the weight of the car and the traction of the tires -- higher weight and higher traction need higher spring rates, but the default values in the adjustable suspension are typically way too high. So I might start them out between 500 and 600.

The rebound and bump I leave close to their default for now, but I even them out a bit -- typically giving the rear slightly higher values.

I typically lower the diff settings to 40 accel and 35 decel -- these will be adjusted later depending on my stability going into and out of corners

I then do a few test laps around Camino Viejo (a good well-rounded track for testing that is also quick to select in the test drive menu) and adjust accordingly.

[Zaggeron]

That set of chicanes after turn one in Camino Viejo is especially good for testing your spring and roll-bar settings. If you are going fast through there and notice that excess wobble in the car is getting you out of shape, you need to firm up the anti-roll bars/spring rates. On the other hand, if roll is minimal, but the road seems too slick and you are losing too much rear grip, that might mean your spring rates are too high ...

[Dustin@Z1]

Correct, if you have a problem with too much oversteer in corners. Try lowering the spring rate. You springs are too stiff and are causing the tires to do all of the work. Softening the springs allows the suspensio to do more of the work.
