Gran Turismo 7 Tuning Guide | Basics Overview 

Can you do a video how you tune a car, from beginning to end with voiceover so we can follow? You take a car, driving it, make comments how it feels and then change settings and we can follow and understand why you’ve done and how it feels to you. I think that’ll be great learning tool.

I really wish there was some telemetry accessible in this game, pretty hard to see some of the effects of your tuning without it.

Was waiting for this, thank you so much Hoki!

Been getting into the tuning stuff, and this video helps me get a better idea of how to approach it, depending on the car and track. Thank you!

Exactly what I was waiting for, your forza tuning videos were a massive help

No PS5. No GT7. Oh hell, still watched 👍

Brilliant video. Every second was worthwhile to listen to. Learnt loads. Like the bit about the dot referencing how much steering lock. I didn't even know what the dot was for.

Oh man this was perfect, yes is was not overwhelming, it was perfect. And I was here for ECU and power banding and torque to PP HP, power restrictor etc, how you involved the turbo charge into the equation was a bonus. This was what I was looking for, thank you so much. I think the game needed to add more lessons in an part of the game that's missing, i remember learning so much about driving from the first gran turismo games, they tough you all about momentum and how weight shifting into corners and tires that are impacted with more grip cause of shifting weight from braking and cornering. They need to add this back as a refresher and for new people to car racing, not everyone that plays this game has all those things understood and mastered. This is really basic stuff for racing fans, but a lot of people that play this game might need refreshers on this nuances aspects of car racing. Super great video, keep it up.

This was SO HELPFUL. Thanks tons for making this video!

Thanks for the detailed help man. I literally looked up some articles on Google and none of them even came close to talking about the tuning details as much as you did. So here's a genuine thank you. Thanks 👍

As a player whos new to the GT franchise, i cant thank you enough for this tuning guide. Really helped

This video will help a lot of new comers to GT series! Thank you for a great video, man!

I’ve been waiting for you to drop a tuning video for GT7!!

This was very informative and helpful. Excellent work 👏

Really helpful vid! Needed this for a league I’m in. P12 in race 1, after watching this vid with a different setup P2! Thankyou so much for this keep it up m8

The reason I subbed to this channel was your FH4 tuning videos, was hoping you would make this for GT7!

This is a great guide! I've been simming for years. I've been adjusting settings over half my life. I just started teaching my brother how to properly tune, and since GT7 doesn't have tire temp readouts I was trying to find the best way to explain adjusting camber, one of the first things you should do when tuning a car. Then I came across this. So I just shared it to him lol you took care of it already. Great to see the genre has people with this level of know-how, down to you explaining the order these adjustments should be made in (though I usually do transmission before or during suspension, and downforce before damping and differential).

This was honestly super helpful. Just a basic rundown but still very informative. Thanks!

This was awesome man!

This was game changing. I just started doing some tuning and so this will help

Thank you for explaining all that.. A lot of other people's channels don't explain everything they just explained one certain thing... again Thank you!

Hell yeah! Didn’t know you made a video for Gran Turismo tuning as well

Excellent video my friend!!!! Appreciate it. Liked and subscribed.

Great intro into tuning. New sub!

Great video! Thank you!

Great video, of course this goes deeper, but if you follow these guidelines and read those few descriptions while testing your favorite car, you can become a journeyman tuner in a few days.

Been waiting for this vid since the game dropped!

Great video, thanks for explaining each setting and its implications! I'd love to see a video of yourself picking a car (FR would be cool as I'm having issues on corner exit with them) and dialing it in whilst explaining why you did it.

Well done, liked & subscribed.

I would've added more info for Torque Vectoring Eg: Setting a value of 45:55 will obviously send 45% of the torque to the front wheels, which can help with traction out of corners, but it will also add more load to the front tires. So if the front tires are wearing out faster than you like, try setting the Torque Vector setting to 20:80. The car may have a higher chance of oversteer out of a corner, but less torque is put into the front tires which can help them last a little longer.

1:40 this was perfect, i was hitting some VERY sharp turns they drop your speed to almost nothing and sometimes felt the car wasn't even turning for me, if you hit the brake you can't turn cause your not moving, and if you are moving to fast your going off the track. I'm so glad i discovered the height issue.

Amazing guide thank you!

Bro you're a legend. Thankyou so much 🙏🙏

I always find suspension tuning to be the most difficult aspect of tuning cars in games, thank you for giving us the quick and dirty lol, i really didnt want to have to bust out my copy of tuned to win

This man put a lot of work making this! This guy has a good heart and is sharing! A lot of people won't.... I have a budget of $500ish what steering set up is recommended? G293 Thrust Master T300 GT? Recommendations.. I'll be using a tv Fanatic is out of my price point.

Best tuning video out there that goos in depth! thanks. Would you be up for some example in different drive cars? what should we aim for in FR, FF, MR, 4WD cars for example?

Very good video..and very well explained...you've earnt my sub 👍

Tuning suspension's natural frequency up some when upgrading tires has been a huge help for handling. If I change one thing it's definitely that.

Thanks a bunch! Just confirmed a question I had!!

Great video bro, good info.

Thank you dude, learned a lot

What a good video. Great job

This is a huge help thank you so much

thank you for the easy to understand explanation

Nice. Dialing for PP restrictions gets complicated due to changes in dampening, ride height or downforce can increase the PP value even though your car may be lightly modified. I’ll be trying the ecu/ peer restrictor to get some good torque in these races.

i been having issues with tunning and was confuse thank you for the help

Been tuning for drifting for years but haven’t been into circuit racing so tuning for grip has been a challenge Thanks for the tips!

great video.. thanks a lot!

Great video thanks

Great video

Nice bro, thanks. Answer a few of my questions fo sho

Sick video!

Thanks, man!

This is an amazing video, so informative. Can you make a video explaining the strategies in tuning cars for 600 and 700PP races? I raced a car and set it up for the menu books and passed the tourneys, but the single race 600-700 PP races i can't come in first. I've took high end cars and throttled them back, took weaker cars and upgraded them, tuned the transmission for last gear redlining on the straight, used low and mid turbos when I can. Micro manages slicks to hard sports to add more horsepower. ETC I'm tinkering EVERYTHING and I really don't know what the best approach is to tuning for a set PP. If you made a video explain how to approach tuning cars to a set PP , like buying weak cars and gearing up to the PP or getting suped up cars and power regulating them back down, swapping slicks instead for more power components ETC, this video would be the missing link the video game forgot to implement as a tool for teaching people how to REALLY tune your car and not JUST add faster gear, but to look at all aspects of tuning like taking control components over HP: torque comments ETC. Can you do a video on the do's and don't's of finding the right cars and tuning practices for set PP races? Thank you good sir. Thank you for this great video, super helpful. now target this to getting a car to a optimal specific PP race. 😛

Very informative

Dude thank you so much for this video I so badly needed a good explanation on a lot of these stats since even though I love racing games I'm not really that much of a car head. What's really sad though is the fact that this entire video basically should have been in the game as some kind of like a basic information tutorial... Game devs have got to stop assuming that everyone understands every aspect of their genre Otherwise they alienate the casual audience that might just see their game on a shelf one day and say wow that looks really cool I think I'll give it a try.

Muchas gracias por compartir la información, un saludo y nos vemos en pista

Awesome Awesome tutorial

I love this game and I love this video

Thanks!

I’m overwhelmed

Just what I needed. I'm new to GT7 but jumped into online races with friends and family immediately. This will help me to learn quicker!

Nice video. I feel like I have tuning down except dampers, springs and arbs, since they differ from game to game. In gran turismo I mostly try to set the arbs first, and balance the rest of the suspension around it, but in the F1 games Arbs aren’t as powerful so I set the springs first.

Thanks for teaching me how to "fish". I have a much better understanding of how/what to change based on what I want now.

I carry over my tuning philosophy from the F1 games. For tuning the lsd. I max the braking and 10 under max acceleration. I've found that getting the wheels to roll at the same rate under braking allows for faster and more stable deceleration into corners. The reason that acceleration is 10 under max is I've found that the maxing out causes you to spin out the corners. The other tire will catch up on the straight. I need to get out the corners as quickly and safely as possible. That being said the power restrictor is a good idea.

This is fantastic! Many thanks. I'm going to need to write all this down, but if you already have a transcript that would save a lot of time and effort if you could post it somehow, please.

Thank you! I was waiting on this one. BTW, what is the black car at the beginning?

omg this is harder than i thought

Thank you very much!! This helps a lot! For the stability section in the left panel for low and high speeds. Are we trying to get numbers closer to zero (0) or further away from zero (0) like -1.00? Thanks again!

Hoki do you find those setup calculators work pretty well? You put in values and it gives you a setup based on that? Have you tried those?

very very good ☺️😊

Adding some more visual refrence would help this a lot. Also, I still have no idea how to tune the suspension and I'm starting to think I will never trully get it.

Really helpful guide, especially where you favour power limiter over ECU to keep torque high. Can I ask what use the ECU is then if a power limiter is more favourable?

very good thanks respect sinnn.

That R33 is 🔥

Now what i am wonder is this, adjustments infleunce the PP, when the PP goes up, not by adding better parts but purely adjustments, is this an indication that your on the right track or not ?

Nice video. Can you do a tuning tutorials specifically for drifting? I need help tuning my car for drifting.

Questions with transmissions, i paddle shift or lb/rb shift on controller, will racing sequential be any better than the manual trans? Ive been using the sequential and just thought about it and wondered if anyone knew if 1 or the other made any real difference

One million view video! soon very soon 🤟💯👍🏁‼️👌😁

Any ideas/tips for rally cars?

Didn't know that about the power restricter need to make some changes thanks!

Does raising the value (going to the right) on both damping ratios and the natural frequency stiffen them?

Am i correct to assume that if i want the next best thing without having to change all these suspension and transmission stuff, i need to buy the max upgrade before the fully customizable one? Thanks

I've been wanting to play gt for so long. I can't atm because I have an xbox. I plan to get a ps5 in the future but yesterday I played gt7 for the first time round my friends and boy was I impressed

So one thing I have noticed while dabbling in the tuning in this game, PP constantly increases and decreases with every adjustment. I’ve noticed that the game actually calculates higher PP for some of the more stable and faster tunes. I don’t know if it coincidence or if the game is actually designed to calculate the best tunes in the PP rating but some of the fastest and best feeling tunes I have are also the tunes that have the highest PP rating. Anytime I tend to adjust something that makes it worse, the PP rating also tends to reciprocate that. Usually.. very rare that the rating goes up and a tune feels worse. (Note: This is also all based on a wheel, not a controller)

I slapped a supercharger and some other high performance parts on my LT1 Camaro. The thing is a rocket but sucks in any type of curvy track. I’ve been relying on straight speed. Need to figure out how to make it a bit more agile.

Can we please get an upgrades video as well?

I'm going to give you amazing content here... When you race GT3 cars on the GT3 races, you have to hit 730PP, this is where that down force gets super interesting. When you lower the down force on the back and add more to the front, you lose 100 HP, plus the cars is not stable around turns. When you lower the down force on the front and add more to the back, you gain 100+HP, plus the car turns better. This is counter intuitive to the PP points going up and down, cause you would think you lose power for more stability and and gain power for instability?!?! Try it out and make a video about it, it was fascinating when I was trying everything to make my lap times better for GT3 PP 730 races, I see the power I got for adjusting the down force from front to back but after all my tests the more stability equaled more power and the instability created less power. I got smoother turns and higher top speeds with greater stability and 100+ more HP from lowering front down force to lowest and raising the back down force to highest. Make a video of this and enjoy.

At the end of the video, where the car is in a parking structure, how do you do that?

question, i had a car that on straights would shake left and right uncontrollably (im using a direct drive wheel, it was hard to hold onto it). what issue does that point to? i set up some toe in on the front to combat it, even though i know the front should really have toe out, but i couldnt think of anything else that would cause this, the car was super stable in corners, the issue only existed at high speed on straights

It seems to not having spring rates adjustment. How do you adjusts it? And what are frequencies suspension adjustments? Thanks!

What track is the long open circle????

Is there a way to return a car's settings back to their defaults? I did all lot of tuning to cars to get them under regulations, including modifying front & rear ride heights and downforce, but now I'd like to them to return to defaults. Is there not a way to do so???

what about permanent change upgrades? forthcoming video?

HokiHoshi Rear-Wheel Steer Drift Car Build Guide soon?

I wish we can download peoples tuned stuff. like we can for the livery

I was wondering what the low/high speed stability thing means

If only there was someone as good as you to help us tune in asseto corsa.....

Should I buy body rigidity for every single car? What are the downsides?
