Tuning part is the hard one. I myself pun noobie at this . in GT the settings that i usually use are to change the tire pressure, gear ratio and camber.

Yesterday spent 10-hours continuous to finish off A-spec 9-hours Tsukuba endurance. Half-way lead by 34 laps. Then took 15 min bath in middle and lost 12 laps, down to 22. Final lead by 33 laps again, so last 30 minutes park at driving line in the middle of the road and block traffic to slow them down from fast lap
Total 533 laps. Actual race time 8 hours 15 min. New tires avg lap 51-53 sec, early braking to preserve tires. Old tires 53-55 sec, sliding when near bald. Fastest lap 49.x Using Audi Le Mans quattro '03 and DS3
If taruh kaw kaw every lap, tires last 16-18 laps, +1/+2 sec quicker. If preserve, can last 25-30 laps. Each pit stop waste about 35-40 seconds (in + out lap) But only save 20+ seconds, therefore better to preserve.
My eyes are so tired Can't imagine when to start the 24-hours Sarthe. Need to commit 3 continuous days.

Alien Congrats! I can't even bronze it. So far bronzed Monza only. Can share your detailed tips, corners, etc. using DS3 ?

i also kenot gold this event lol
Here's the video of my replay:
Driving Options: Controller Steering Sensitivity - 7 (this is key)
1st lap - 1:05.720 2nd lap - 1:04.243 Total time - 2:09.963 My times are not that impressive (barely made gold). As you can see in the video, I also made some mistakes. In fact my Nurburgring and Monza also both barely made it. +__+ I keep having the urge to redo because I know I can do better. My best individual 1st and 2nd laps so far for Suzuka are 1:05.3xx and 1:04.1xx respectively.
I'm not really an expert, but here's what I've learned that may help: - Use auto transmission (AT). I'm actually a MT player, but I'm just not good enough to use MT for these challenges. Salute to anyone who golds with MT + DS3. - After the 1st lap, if you feel you're within range of getting gold - turn off the ghost car (press Up on the D-pad) so that you don't get distracted when you're near him. - In fact you may want to turn off all Race Info Display altogether (pause during race and goto Quick Options). I didn't turn off because I feel more comfortable with the info and knowing how far ahead the ghost car is. - At 0:30 (hardest corner in Suzuka), instead of braking and turning - try braking first before turning so you turn with more control. - Coming out of the hairpin (at 0:36), it's faster if your car is in 1st gear rather than 2nd. - If you find it hard to turn during the S-curves (or any corners), try letting go of the throttle slightly. Then step back on it so you don't lose too much speed. - Try experimenting with different ABS settings. When I went from ABS 1 to ABS 10 in Nurburg, I found new ways of turning/braking, it's like I had an epiphany. I then went back to ABS 1 and kept on improving my times from there. - To gold, you can't just maintain the same distance with the ghost car. You have to catch up to him until almost like the starting position. - Don't worry about being perfect. Doesn't matter if ur wheels get on the curb. As long as you be fast, maintain speed. LOL I know this probably sounds like bullsh**. - You can try to master Suzuka first, then Nurburg and Monza will be a piece of cake. Not sure if that is the easier or harder way. But what I did was Monza->Nurburg->Suzuka.
The times to achieve at the checkpoints on the 1st lap are: 1st checkpoint - below 0:29.000 2nd checkpoint - below 0:53.000 End of 1st lap - below 1:06.000 Any faster than this and you are still on your way to getting gold.
- Watch this guy tidgney's videos on youtube: http://www.youtube.com/user/tidgney He beat Suzuka prior to patch 1.06, which means there were no Controller Steering Sensitivity options then. Totally salute him. - His best run beats Suzuka gold by >2secs. And he beat Nurburg, Monza with >4or5secs (but those are done with wheel). - He also has tutorials to help you I think.
