A few extra notes to consider when tuning cars that I dont think were mentioned in this video, based on my experience in league races and such Regarding anti-lag systems: be aware that your fuel usage goes WAY up when you're using an anti-lag system, so if you're using your car for a race with fuel consumption on, maybebconsider skipping this upgrade Regarding custom transmission: the automatically adjusted top speed is often wildly inaccurate. To gain a more accurate idea of the actual top speed of the gearbox, look at the manual gear customisation, and the number AFTER the slash is the speed at which that gear hits the rev limiter. So for example, a gear says "0.847 / 282", so the car will hit the rev limiter in that gear at 282 km/h. Also, an example I've had where I've adjusted individual gears was for a league with Kei Cars with a standing start. I shortened first and second gear quite a lot, as I found the car bogged down in the lower revs quite a lot from the standing start, and I wouldn't use them anywhere else in such a low-power car. Regarding ballast and weight distribution: note that this can have a big impact on tyre wear. Th amount of impact this has is proportional to how much ballast you're running, so if for example you're running a lot of ballast and your front tyres are wearing out much faster than your opponents, consider running your ballast further to the rear, or vice versa. Regarding suspension: spring rate also has a big effect on tyre wear. One of the guys I raced with once made his tyres last almost double the entire field in an Alphard race, and when everyone else was in awe after the race, he revealed that his secret was to run the natural frequency extremely low. Anti-roll bars and such might also have an effect, but I havent tested this myself. I think this was kind of already mentioned to as well, but I wanted to emphasise just how important diff tuning is as well. A lot of highly upgraded road cars can be unstable under throttle or braking, which can be fixed through playing around with diff settings.
You are a star yes you are. You actually managed to make me understand this maze of numbers that I’m usually confronted by but now I can actually enjoy some of the cars I have given up on thank you mate.
How do I set up my car correctly in GT7? Go on the internet and look for real sites that explain how to set up cars correctly and first things first realize that you can't set more GRIP because it is dictated by the tires! The aim is to achieve a good balance between the front axle and rear axle in terms of mechanical and aerodynamic grip. Example: What do you do about “power understeering” ar Low and middle speed? Reduce the Weightshifting to the rear axle, make the rear higher and set a higher spring rate with shock absorbers tailored to it, but note that the spring rate plus ARB value results in the overall roll tendency, which should be the same on the front and rear axles despite the different dynamic weight distribution. It is also important in Gran Turismo, because you are not actually sitting in the car and feeling how the vehicle behaves, to choose a view where you can see the vehicle's movement in relation to the road in order to adjust the car accordingly.
@@ExodiaNecross2 if tuning is easy for you why are you even watching a video on the basics of tuning? Driving competitively on GT7 is easy, once you know how, I don’t! That’s why I’m on RUclips watching videos on how to drive and tune. Awesome input though.
You can change the units in the options on the top left where you alter such things as the button allocation are found. I haven't done it since buying the game, but it's definitely there somewhere. A wonderful guide Chris ( still watching, just did not want forget, 😊 ), broken down in a very clear way. 🔥. Like deployed 👍 😎🎙🏎✅️
In GTS you could copy a car’s tuning sheet and add it to another car that was exactly the same. So I could easily make two 81 turbo Porsche’s exactly the same without having to manually add each selection to the other car.
ive found that tuning is almost universal. exceptions being cars like the alpine a110 original, lancia stratos, and other quirky handling cars. 95 percent of the time, weight ballast, lsd, amd suspension tuning to achieve 50 50 weight is the key. of course, it all lamds on the operator. my personal settings may work for me, but not for others.
Hello Doughtinator! Thank you for the effort of making this helpful video! If I may deploy some unsolicited constructive criticism though: I would get rid of any kind of music during such kind of explanatory videos. It distracts from the statements you are making and over the length of this (rather long) video it gets a bit tiring. Interested to hear your take on it! Thanks again!
I bought a second 2002 NSX and did the GR2 Concept NSX engine swap and tried to build my own homemade race car out of it. Still struggling to keep the rear end planted. I did the same engine swap with the Amuse S2000 again to build my own GR3 style race car and it’s much much better but I suspect that’s because the Amuse is already setup for track use compared to the NSX road car. I’m thinking of selling the NSX now but would keep it if I could make it behave itself and be more planted.
Hello dear friend. My biggest difficulty is controlling cars that shift a lot of weight when I brake hard. A perfect example, Toyota GR Yaris, is a nightmare! Any touch on the brake and he will try to throw the rear end. Could you make a video teaching this configuration better so that we can resolve this, or improve it. Thank you very much for the video, I love videos that teach and help you understand the mechanics of the game.
Been asking others for a daily car tuning sheet. Maybe sweet spot or sheet for short n long tracks w 1 before n after lap. Then organize as you go nby manufacturer on Your channel.
@@Doughtinator a lot. Particularly on longer straights, off the line, and out of corners. A good gearbox tune is akin to unlocking extra horsepower for free, especially when paired with a good torque/power curve and proper shifting. All tuning components are extremely important to maximize performance and optimize within the event limits. Making a car "Drivable" is just the tip of the iceberg, especially with the way casual players may end up overdoing it on performance upgrades.
The whole manu structure in this game is absolutely infuriating. Having to take at least 10 steps from the tuning page to the shop page and then back is dumb af
The thing is. That value doesn’t change no matter what you set your units to. The valid reason is that it’s a universal number to share with anyone. And for what it’s worth. I use kmh for my units anyway.
@@Doughtinator not sure how to tell you this without hurting your feelings but, I didn't make it all the way through your video I was laughing so hard. Now I can understand you making a video like this for the illiterate and those that don't know how to hit the square button when they select something on the settings menu. It just seemed like the video was way way too long just to tell people to hit square and read what it says. But as far as the video itself I think it was well put together and well done. Thank you for your interest in my emoji
My opinion stands your not in the position to talk or explain anything about tuning because you have said to me earlier tuning is like art 😂😂😂 ... no it isnt and there is a right way to do it and a wrong way you do actually get away with more on a propper tune and im not convinced you can make tunes like that good example is this porsche right here you are showing you barely changed anything and just made it "driveble" thats not what people want they want to understand how to make fast tunes
I just explained what everything does. On a simplified level to help everyone. Which of the points I’ve made are incorrect? I’m not trying to explain tuning to experienced tuners because they already know. I do believe that tuning is a personal preference thing. The traits cars and tubes have can be loved by some and hated by others. A great driver can probably extract fast lap times from a car with lift off oversteer but a less experienced driver would not even get a clean lap. 🤷🏻♂️
First off this isn’t a high level 2nd off you are so incredibly wrong. There is no scientific consensus on perfect tuning. There are trends… there is a base tune for each tire type and vehicle. Ultimately though it’s down to the driver. Some of the fastest drivers are the ones who can effectively communicate the changes that they want don’t to the car. But 2 drivers using the exact same car on the same team will often run slightly different setups. Clearly though this video is not showing anyone what changes to make or how to setup a car. Also there is NO perfect tune for any one car which is why all PD has 3 tunes per vehicle for BoP vehicles. Low, mid, high speed… but realistically every track has different tuning needs. In the dampers alone. I’ll find the settings best for one track might have my front end drop down then pop back up too quickly. So I have to adjust for that. But a different driver might take that turn differently. It is absolutely part science part art.
what would you suggest messing with if you get lots of oversteer on braking in a FF car? the rear end wants to snap around on very little braking. whats the best things to mess with to get the rear end to be a lot more stable.
Brake balance all the way forwards. Stiffen up front natural frequent and anti roll bar. If you have LSD then set braking sensitivity to maximum. If you have any aero reduce front and raise rear.

Yeah I thought it did. But I don’t think this exact setting changes. It always stays kmh.
@@Doughtinator wow 😔
@@DoughtinatorYeah, I'm in America and it has been stuck on kmh since day one.
Want to change miles to km/h on the hud. Is it possible? Tks

Yeah it’s super frustrating that you can’t share setups between exact same cars isn’t it 😳
I like it, you reworded it perfectly
Just gonna point out it’s necessary to change all gear ratios for faster lap times given not every track is the same, and also fuel saving.
thx bro❤
That is amazing work. Thank you so much 👍🏻
Happy to help man 👍🏻👍🏻
it would be cool if they had specific parts for rotary cars like lightened rotors and porting , e-shaft balancing etc.
Yeah that would be great!
There are enough rotary cars in the game for this 👍🏻👍🏻

Remember in GTS you could leave a lobby and the player in there the longest would become lobby hosts.
Yeah. GTS lobbies were way ahead of GT7 sadly.
Great video. Thank you!
Very helpful thanks!
Great video.... i just wish the bloody music was turned down or better not hear it at all😂😂
Noted. I’ll lower the volume for future 👍🏻👍🏻
Nice little vid mate, I see your still using the Moza set up and the adaptor, How is it holding up?
Still working perfect man. I did however try the BETA firmware for FFB3.0 and it didn’t work. I’ve given feedback to MOZA.
Thanks brother x
This will be interesting. I thought I had a handle on tuning prior to the 1.49 update.

Hi have you got a tune for the GTR skylines because the 1:49 /50 update has ruined the 4wd street cars
What do you suggest to do with the ferrari vgt car setting? I’m having trouble steering it in corners. It will not turn. Thank you
I think to know about these settings you must actually be a car mechanic to fully understand it

the tuning…. just found out changing brake pad affects the acceleration time 😅
You've literally just given a audio description for the blind, who coincidentally won't be playing gt7...
Man, not tuning the gearbox ratios is the biggest loss of performance you're gonna have out of tuning a car.
How much lap time do you think is left on the table?

Dude. I got more info by just reading the in game definitions. What a waste of time.
I don’t agree with some of the in game descriptions. I say what I think the settings do.
It's in km/h because that's what most of the world uses ??? It's easy to change anyway so why the complaint
You can go through a full clip to find something to correct so why the complaint. Oh makes you feel smart I guess
