Notes
Honda NSX Type R '02 — 454hp / 349ft.lb / 1,079kg ] Berlina Black ] PD0210 wheels ] 3D Type AB wing No oil change performed (default power amount). This was to keep the transmission settings consistant even over long distance racing. I decided to go for a little more fun and speed with this setup as opposed to my other consistancy-based setups. This car can be a handful—especially on tracks with bumps and/or undulations. The transmission was set up for any track. 6th gear redlines right at the aerodynamically-limited top speed of 202mph. To get the proper ratios: - 1. Start with the default gearbox settings - 2. Move the Auto slider to 25 (far right) - 3. Move the Final slider to 5.000 (far right) - 4. Move the Auto slider to 1 (far left) - 5. Move the Final slider to 2.735 - 6. Adjust 1st through 6th gears to their indicated values The suspension was set up for maximum response at corner entrance and minimum understeer at corner exit. I was particularly impressed with overall cornering speed and especially corner exits. I found I could open the throttle very early. Braking is a bit dissapointing; I expected more stopping power from a car like this! I chose to go with a rear-biased setup in favor of corner entries. It can be scary when braking with steering input, but again, this setup isn't for consistancy! I tried to get a lap in at the Nürburgring at a quick pace, but failed to do it cleanly. The car is just way too skittish over crests to get consistant, fast laps. I believe this is a downforce issue, and I can't really do anything about that! A solid lap should be in the 6'20 range. I'm going to say this is a road setup minus the Nürburgring... too bumpy! Test laps: 1'53.849 - Suzuka Circuit 1'30.890 - Tokyo Route 246 [July 27 2006] Updated the gearbox settings for even closer ratios. To adjust the spread for each track (and I strongly reccomend this), simply use the Final slider.
