This is Why You Keeping Spinning in Gran Turismo 7

I still think that not being able to easily share tunes like in forza is a big problem, kaz says he wants all players to learn to tune but I’d say the vast majority of players just want to hop in and race

5:19 NOTE that for some cars, making the car too low can cause understeer, due to your wheels grazing the wheel arch

Keep in mind that you can also rob yourself of speed out of the corners by setting the acceleration sensitivity too low. A more open differential essentially limits the power to the tire with the most grip based on the tire with less grip. (It's more complicated than that, but that's the end result) This means the car won't accelerate as hard while turning, and will struggle to rotate on the throttle. This is why pro setups tend to use higher acceleration sensitivity (IRL= lower angle). They have the driving technique and throttle control to use it to their advantage. They usually try to get the car rotated as quickly as possible while being in control and not losing speed (like in a drift). The earlier they can get the car rotated, the earlier they can open the steering and straighten the car out. With a higher diff acceleration sensitivity, setting the diff will lock earlier and they will have more torque available to accelerate onto the straight. As with all settings, it's about finding the proper balance depending on the driver, car, track, and conditions. Also, GT's settings and physics may work a little different. They have a setting for sensitivity (angle), and initial torque (preload), but not locking strength (number of plates), so I'm not sure if that is combined into other settings. For anyone who wants to better understand how differentials work, Donut Media did a great video on torque vectoring, and they have another all about diffs too I believe: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iIBmJVV0zjw&list=PLFl907chpCa7oMxN6jGo93g8VriQk7ICc&index=8 Disclaimer: I'm just beginning to understand this stuff myself. So if I got something wrong, please correct me.

one thing to note is that raising the acceleration sensitivity in the rear increases on throttle rotation at high speed. I find cars with more than enough tire as well as aero can sometimes benefit from the higher accel setting, but 90% of road cars above 400hp and race cars with the harder compound of tire, its better to run it lower. great video

Although a lot better than it was in GT Sport, the tire physics still seem like the main issue. Tire grip just feels way too digital, it's almost like it's either on or off and you can't play with the car over the limit as much as you can in real life. I really hope they improve it with their partnership with Michelin

You have many ways to deal with this problem. You can also put ballast to the rear. But the physics are strange! The snaps are very sudden and the damping on the wheel is just stupid!

Thanks Ermin! Between these settings and adding some ballast to the front of my '81 911, I finally have some confidence to take it into a corner without the rear end trying to pass me on the next straight!

Now try this in a RWD with 900hp

Legend! Love your commentator passion as your explaining things. Clear information delivery. Can't wait to start tinkering with an excessively snappy s13 and mach1 mustang I've built.

If you know what a floating cross shaft differential is or looks like, it makes tuning differentials so much easier in this game to understand in terms of the function/parameters. The initial torque is the bite of the clutch plates, that in turn are receiving the amount of torque under accel or decel based on the ramp angles of the cross shaft beds. Nice video. I have noticed that this game is specifically unique in that assumptive tuning methods of previous titles goes out the window. You can bottom out, have too hard or suspension, too low of suspension, too high even.... dampening is something you'll want to take a look at soon as you apply downforce.....

Car: - oversteer a little bit - Ermin: MASSIVE OVERSTEER HERE !!!1!!1!1! 🤣

Awesome vid, as always. I like the physics in this game for the most part, but I do feel like I had to relearn a few things. Cheers!

This has been really useful to watch i can't wait to get home and try it out. I have a pretty decent tune on ng carrera RS but this will surely take it to the next level. I do wish you went into more how the front diff affects turn in and exit specifically but great job otherwise.

love these kind of videos, even if i don't have a ps4/5 it's so interesting to see you using your knowledge to help everyone!

Thanks man! Very informative. I've been trying to get the tail end of the RX-Vision under control and I'll try adjusting LSD settings right now!

Great video bro. Never really messed with the lsd but man, it’s crazy how much the cars stability changes

Great material. Very informative. Great for single player content. Obviously with the BoP all we can do is wish we could make adjustments as we oversteer to our doom.

I heard people said putting ballast on front will reduce snap oversteer but in reality it won't do anything other than adding extra weight - except for rear engine Porsches because the ballast will act as a counter balance for weight distribution. I always suspect it was the LSD, and you helped me realize that. Thank you mate.

Thank you so much! I've been googling all over to be taught what I can do to stop the massive snap oversteer moments.

Massive Snap!! Lol, Thanks for the highly entertaining and informative video Ermin! I completely agree, physics took a step backwards in oversteer as compared to GT Sport. Fingers crossed they sort it out. Thanks again for the great content, I'm subscribed!
