Another thing to consider when sharing tunes, is that not all tunes work for everybody. A proper setup targets the best situation for the drivers ability and style.

[sgtBelson]

I can see a ‘Tuning School’ being an option, as long as they don’t make it mandatory (like licensing). Those that want to can, while those that want to keep it casual won’t have to.

Dailing a car in, is one of the most fun parts of racing. Getting a setup right is satisfying. I'm just getting into GT and the tuining options and format isn't the best, but you can still drastically change a car with tweaks. I do belive they should have lobbies with tunes vs stock setups to help ease people in.

[noway_josue]

YES! You put all my thoughts onto this video! I work and have a 1 year old baby. I also just bought a wheel and sim rig but I can barely get on and now I have to find the right tune which takes up an hour and by then, it's too late or I'm too tired to race now.

[josephbreton]

I better see SUPER GT in the next couple races you do. It’s only right as he gave you a shoutout a couple hours ago in the group 3 races lol. Just very cool to see 2 YouTubers you admire get matched up in this rare opportunity of racing together

[talkin-ape]

I don't have the time to experiment and become an expert tuner, so I go to the GT Planet forums. I found a tuner who's tunes suit my driving style/ability. Praiano is my go to guy.

I think the iRacing approach in some series is really good. For example, in the F3, F4, NASCAR Cup or Porsche Cup you have one race per hour. Fixed series at even hours, Open series at odd hours, iRacing even provides advanced setups for specific circuits in the Open series that are more than enough for 99% of the drivers, but anyway, you always have many Fixed options at any time. I don't understand how Gran Turismo, 7 years after the release of GT Sport, only has 3 regular races, the matchmaking works really good, I highly doubt that there are not enough players to offer 5 daily races and provide more variety in every aspect of the game, including Fixed and Open series.

I come from the real world side of building cars and having to learn the various aspects of engine, suspension and chassis tuning. I personally love having the ability to tune certain features and wish they would implement one more aspect; alignment. With that said, I do see this from both sides of the spectrum and feel where the real issue is how PD implements it. I personally feel they should add another gr3/gr4 type race. They could do two no tune races and one tune race and then the next week, flip it so that it's always rotating allowing people to have the option of what they want to race and how.

I agree there should be training or maybe they could have a few preset tunes in a drop down menu so that you can quickly find one that fits your driving style. And this is what tuning is all about, finding something that suits your driving style for a given track. BOP is still needed regardless though they have some cars that don't fit with the current BOP standards and tuning allows those cars to be pushed even harder. So if PD we're to even out the difference in certain cars, tuning would actually work the way it should

For people not familiar with tuning follow this.

Gr3: put the initial torque and acceleration down between 5-10. This will make it easier to handle higher powered cars around corners much easier and you should be able to keep TC at zero. Breaking sensitivity between 40-45.

Gr4: when bop puts your car sub 400hp, you can run a pretty high initial torque and acceleration while keeping your car stable through turns. Breaking sensitivity between 40-45 as well.

Gr4 & Gr3: +2 (rear bias) on the brake controller to help with oversteer. If you find the backend of your car snaps out under heavy breaking, in crease the rear expansion dampening (not compression) This will help shift the weight forward making the backend more stable.

This should help most newer people to sport mode and for those that don't have the time to experiment with different settings.

I love that idea of a tuning tutorial. They could add another point on the map called Tune School or something and even add extra Cafe Menu Books where you have to tune cars a certain way to be competitive as a way to get players used to it. I think they could also have default tunes that we can apply, kinda like in ACC with aggressive vs safe setups. At the end of the day, it's as you said, lotsa people view GT7 as plug n play & that's what makes it attractive so hopefully they add loads of quality of life updates so this doesn't just turn into another thing to have to figure out.

[TyrantExplosion]

I play with controller, on automatic, I very rarely ever tune. With this approach, almost everything in the game has been completely fine. I have gold on all normal licences and most circuit experiences. I've done 50 sport races and won once. This 2% win rate is somewhat expected given my skill level and setup, so I have fun just trying to improve over my qualifying position.

Tuning makes me complete avoid the daily races. I think the option should still be there, but I really feel as if only 1 out of the 3 races should allow it.

The idea for preset tuning setup is great, something like that would make me much more keen to give it a go

i found your channel today and subscribed to it today 👍

[shaunsummers]

Daily race D…..exactly the same race as C, just with set ups permitted.
But set ups need to be able to be saved and more readily accessible.

[nilskanneuchegalsein]

They need the feature from F1 games where you can copy the setups from anybody on the board .. that would help

[superdave]

Greetings from Canada. - I personally enjoy tuning the cars as much as driving them - You have to put in the time to be able to be competitive - I love Forza for the tuning capabilities

[oldtimergoalie]

Your views on this are spot on. The idea of Menu Books to “teach” tuning or setups is great. I don’t know much about tuning. So I would definitely be at a disadvantage. Sure, I could learn but time isn’t always there to go through that process. I want to get in my rig and enjoy racing. I don’t win much but that’s ok for me. I just enjoy it. But…if tuning becomes a larger part of this and last place is all I ever will achieve, then the fun certainly will be taken away. Great video! Cheers!!

[bronson]

Totally agree. No need for tuning as long as everyone has to compete with an even chance. Very few people would enjoy bowling if each person could have their own oil setup.

[ArcticOD]

Easy solution:
Include the setup in the replay.

i.e. when looking at the world record lap or the winner POV of your previous race, you can see exactly what their setup is. Some racing games already do this.

[johndee]

I love setups it gives a better fighting chance for those not so fast as you by beeing smarter, it equals more competition.

[industrial]

agree with you 100% rory. I only get an hour or 2 to play most days if im lucky, and last thing i want to do is to keep looking up the setup when i realise im 2 seconds a lap slower because i need to tune.
