GT7: LSD Tuning: Everything Explained

LSD or Limited Slip Differential is a very complicated and powerful setup and tuning option, in this video I give you a full run down of how to set up the LSD in Gran Turismo 7

Let me know your thoughts on LSD tuning. Do you agree?

[scottex.]

love how people are redescovering tuning through this game

The initial torque activates when turning into corners and deactivates when driving straight. The higher the setting the more quicker the initial torque will respond (safe/understeer) . The lower setting allow for easy turning and the initial torque not being aggressive. Depend on drivetrain and suspension setup and power delivery will determine LSD setting. Braking acceleration makes car stable on hard braking but car will have severe understeer. As for acceleration sensitivity. This becomes tricky. A car with alot of power will benefit from a lower setting on acceleration sensitivity as you throttle in and out of a turn you need to keep wheels running independently. A car with less power is more versatile in raising or lower sensitivity. You don’t want to lock wheels (full power) as wheels cannot run independently around a turn and therefore the lsd cannot do its job in distributing power to the wheel that has the most traction (keeps car from spinning out of car/better throttle control). Basically snap oversteer. There are other factors involved but this is a basic way of explaining.

This was a great guide for beginners. I applied this methodology to my 84 GTO and it made an immediate difference. Aesthetically I didn’t want the wing on the car but it opened up the rear downforce customization which also helped immensely for high speed stability.

I immediately won my first Super Formula race after watching this. Been going at it for a week. Excellent breakdown of the lsd. This helped a lot 👍

LSD: There are 3 settings (acceleration, braking, and initial torque). You want the braking one as low as possible without experiencing oversteer when lifting the foot off throttle in a turn (lower makes the car more agile, better turn in, when off throttle). The accelerating one u want as high as possible without experiencing oversteer when accelerating out of corners (higher will translate more power to the tarmac). Both have to be explored by testing in 5 or 10 point increments. The initial one in my view is best in between both of those two, because u don't want sudden big changes in LSD torque when pressing or lifting off the gas pedal. Have fun dude!

Excellent description of the diff! Definitely want you to do one regarding AWD cars and the front diff

I’ve consumed a fair bit of content on this topic and none of them explained it as easy and straightforward as you did. Thank you!

[mbruce]

A simple thank you. A much better explanation that the basic menu BS. Thank you.

The acceleration sensitivity I feel relates to how much power the engine gives to the wheels when your feet is off the throttle. Higher means even if there’s no gas input, the engine will still give some sort of “push” to the wheels and causes understeer while lower will cuts the power almost immediately which causes lift-off oversteer.

With that said, it finally clear to me now. I usually tune the LSD and hope for the best (it oddly just… works?? haha). It’s perfect to balance it out with brake balance and ballast but I have heard a car’s handling can magically change just by the LSD alone.

I’m currently tuning the F8 Tributo and at stock the car is a *_nightmare_* to drive. I will keep in mind what I’ve learned from this video.

as a driver who got all gold licenses i highly recommended you setup, i being used always high brake low torque and acceleration 35, i recommended those settings use in 90% MR, FR even some 4WD

[wiseslee]

Finally someone step up to clear the air, gosh!

[andreaspooky]

Thx, I just switched from using ballast to LSD to treat oversteer during turns, and gained lots of performance, and not at expense of using extra weight.

[Clarkygaming]

Thank you so much man I was struggling to wrap me head around the numbers, we owe you a beer

[BandoTRD]

Been using your tips and on all the cars I had trouble using by testing and adjusting and that's even without dealing with suspension yet and gotta say this is the key indeed. Improvement is very good.

[rabbitholehomes]

Cheers mate, excellent video! 😀 I have been playing since GT1 and have always been baffled by the explanation of the LSD. Sadly I'm not as consistent as you, so I've never really been able to run the test you've just done here for clarification. Top job. 👍 ... and yes, I'd be very interested in a 4WD LSD test video. Cheers

[thales]

with this video, i've managed 221 m/h with my 740pp mustang gt '15 (everything tuned, no downforce, 15 torque/60 accel/5 brakes) on daytona tri-oval. that's 9m/h than the irl 212m/h world record, with a road car. excellent video, good job!

[Not_Aran]

Thx for explaining the LSD stuff, back then when I'm playing GT Sport what I did it just put everything to the max, and when I did the same for GT7 I found out that the Performance Point decreases, no wonder why I can't win lol

[Foton]

Best LSD explanation video ever. Finally i understand how to set up MR and FR car. I use a bit different setup for my style but the explanation is excelent. Please make and FF guide as well.

[phunkdoc]

all the recent videos regarding the tuning aspect of GT7 have helped me understand them a bit more, thanks again!
