Thanks mate. Can see significant difference to my own tune, so will try it tonight. Might need a tune for the driver too. LOL.  Thanks again.

No Problem FA, It is designed around the way I drive so so hopefully you will be able to drive it too

I slowly getting to the point where I can't be arsed to EVER play this game again, that f***** second sector and it's frame drop is annoying me sooooo.... much. I switch gear turn the corner then bang lap then suddenly I have one wheel off the tracks and I'm fighting to keep on control then BANG lag again and I'm off!!

I know, I was reading today how even PS4 runs better than xbox one. Looks like we drew the short straw on XB1.

The comments were post 2.0 for PS4 though and Ian Bell mentioned suggested he can't understand why it would be different since they run the same physics coding identically.

Maybe it is 2.0 maybe it's xbox one. I fkin hope its 2.0!!

I am right about the FPS affecting the times...
Below is the...
Cadwell GP BMW 320 Turbo Group 5 times for the PC
Sector times for John's time...
Sector 1: 23.383 - (PB: 23.434)
Sector 2: 34.648 - (PB: 35.554)
Sector 3: 22.346 - (PB: 22.431)
The first two sectors are from using the potential, the last sector is from my 1:22.216 time that I posted on the Leaderboards as I keep messing up the last sector.
Effectively, my potential is a 1:21.419 which is 0.797 off my LB set time... thus 0.8 off my LB time which is what I said is possible/what I could see.
Now look at the middle sector, look at that MASSIVE gap! The second sector I'm getting a really bad drop in frames! And there is people that say oh that wont affect it...
It's like watching a video on youtube with a bad/reasonable Broadband. If you go 720p it doesn't buffer, but if you go 1080p it does (now and again), now what would you prefer? Watching a video on a lower quality, or it consistently buffering now and again? I know what I would choose, a lower quality because if I don't I'll get to the point where I would say **** it can't be arsed watching it! (And don't be a smart arse and say I would wait for it to load to a point where I'll be able to watch it!)

Anyway, do you see what i mean? Yes I know he was faster in the first and last sector, but I'd put that down to that fact the he's using a wheel and I'm using a controller.

But anyway just saying because this game is pissing me off!!

PC and PS4 run at 1080p while the XB1 runs at 720p.

Now the quality DOES NOT affect times.

But in a test of console vs console with Project CARS, they found that the XB1 even running on 720p drops frames considerably more than the PS4, especially on weathered conditions such as rain.

Anyway, putting that aside... using my own camber and tyre pressures I was able to exploit the times that I knew was capable. After about 30 mins trying to get a better time but unsuccessfully doing so due to that figgin second sector and me getting violent on the steering in that last sector because I was getting pissed off, I'm now going to put this HLC aside until that new patch comes out.

I'm in agreement with you now RR. There's something that makes Xbox One disadvantaged compared to PC and PS4.

I know everyone is looking at all the tables but just focus on winning XB1.

Have you read this THREAD

[GSR RoadRunner]

So now that you agree, to all those whom doubted me, and most of all that prick that said I was "Blustering," and especially the arsehole greengo thanks you for your bias input as your opinions are completely aside the truth, and from now on anything you say shall be titled with the word 'dick!' Even though I have only played PCARS on the XB1, at least I wasn't being big headed, and my opinions were and are true.

You may edit what I've said if you want ToOSk3tChY but you have to remember, all I have said is the truth and nothing but the truth so removing would mean that they had the right to say I was "Blustering" or that "He must be slow" comments weren't bias. You should know me by now, what i say IS the truth and I ALWAYS stick by what I say. I don't waste my breath for no one who doesn't deserve it!

Now I will have my tea because I'm hungry and was gonna have it 3 hours ago!!

Just a question RR. Why do you think some on XBox experience the frame drops and others (like me) never had them. Dont get me wrong, I'm not questioning you at all as I'm a legal eagle and I know less about this stuff than I know about King Kong's sex life (I might now some about that ). Can it perhaps be because some have more data on the hard drive or aps running in the background. I never saved any replays or photos (my knowledge on that is limited to Forza) and never downloaded any aps and I honestly never experienced the frame drops. Can that perhaps cause the difference ?

Also, tried your tune on the BMW and it suits my driving just fine and I really enjoyed it. Just had to change diff decell and pre load a bit to suit my driving style and it took me now to 1:22.954 on the Cadwell hotlapping. And still time left there cause I loose time on the last sector too. Thought I had ToOSk3, but his bumper must be longer than mine. LOL. Anyway, thanks mate. I'll find the time I've left on track soon.

FA you have to think about what frame drops are like in your mind. To me I'm very sensitive with frame drops, if there is only a very slight drop I tend to pick it up more than others, not saying that it is worse or anything, just saying my perspective on a bad frame drop is different to others.
So, by this if there is any drop I lose a lot of time because it affects me quite badly. However I do have quite a bad broadband and thus the drops are enhanced greatly....I think (duno).

I've done a little tweaking to the tune a bit more and now am consistently around a 23.6XX in the first sector, the change in the tune has also brought my second sector down to a 35.2XX but was still experiencing the Frame drops which was making me very hesitant on the power and the final sector is around the same due to I keep messing so I haven't found if the tune is faster or slower there.

[GSR RoadRunner]

Any as to why other may experience the drops and some don't...
A. How sensitive you are to it
B. Processing - not all Xbox's are identical
C. Broadband assuming your are online

There will be a LOT more answers. Personally I just don't know why.

I get alot of frame rate drop, just assumed it was a game 'thing' but it now seems to be an 'XBOX' issue...

I also have very slow BB speed (it means I cannot race online, not that I would want to) so maybe this plays a part.


I'm now refusing to get so irate about my times being off the pace (especially compared to Pc/ps4 users) clearly I'm disadvantaged on controller/unassisted/helmet cam/physical time to play (I'm 100+ hrs down on most) so my times are what they are.

[GSR RoadRunner]

Well I improved on my time, not by much but I finally got into the 21's!

New time; 1:21.886 - No.#24 on LB

Sector times...
Sector 1: 23.495
Sector 2: 35.768
Sector 3: 22.623 (Lost 0.192 in last sector compared to my previous 1:22.216 time)
My POTENTIAL was recorded at a 1:20.86X so obviously I'm getting something right but just can't put it all together
