    I’m going to need to watch this 3 more times and take notes. I grasp the basic principles and totally dig it.
    Biggest take away? Shifting in the correct moments to stay in the power band. I probably don’t do that. So that’s gonna be the first thing I do tomorrow.

Suspension has always been the part about this game I haven’t fully understood I have a basic understanding of it.

    Thank you, so much, for putting such meticulous effort into this video. What a wonderful tool for tuners to have! I’ll admit, this is pretty intimidating for me, a newbie tuner. I don’t think I’m ready for this level of tuning just yet but I’ve come out of this learning that people tune cars for specific tracks - so there’s something! I’ll come back to this video when I’m truly ready for it! Liked and subscribed!

    Thx for this video as it answered my question about retention of settings for fully customizable gearbox. Most of the other topics served to confirm what I already understood about GT gearing implementation. I wish more players interested in or confounded by this tuning aspect also could view this.
    Attempting to replicate IndyCar settings for ovals, I was attempting to run multiple top gears by closely stacking them - fail. Armed with this new knowledge, I still must revisit this technique when I again have access to the game.
    Thx also for reference videos; I've followed Jason on YT for years & these are finely detailed & are soundly mathematically based. I very recently had viewed a couple of your videos concerning GT7 topics as they luckily appeared in my timeline. Only today did I find this video referenced from GT Planet; more good fortune. I am a new sub for your channel; I really enjoy your presentation style 😎

    My five cents.
    Choose your car and track combination. Ideally the upcoming Gran Turismo 7 event.
    Set final drive to 4:1
    Set first gear to 3:1
    Set final drive to 1:1
    Spread the other gears so it looks nice.
    Drive the car for a couple of laps.
    Note problems you notice. Revving out in top gear, for example.
    Move final drive to improve top speed.
    Move first drive so you can use it effectively when lapping. If you tune for best standing start you might enjoy drag racing.
    Spread the other gears so it looks nice.
    Do some more laps.
    Fine tune. Now is the time to look more closely at the middle gears. Look for good gear/corner combinations.
    More laps.
    Fine tune.
    And repeat.
    Thank you, Harmonic. Your intro into gearing is good stuff.
    I'd like to hear your thoughts on Brakes.

I have lots of my questions surround getting the best handling for each car type, and i would like to know the limits of certain cars on certain courses. ex. Nurbergring vs. Forest Trail, which cars are right for each track type. Anyways, I will continue my search, but this has been the best channel for this type of info.

    I really enjoy this technical knowledge. never been one to understand the correlation between each set of systems especially gearing. keep it up love learning these things to be be a better driver.
    If anything I'd love to see how the correlation between a proper gear box for say... a Short track would relate to a properly tuned suspension and LSD to handle power in the corners under load and off load. I know the other videos you have up more or less go over this and its a bit of trial and error. nonetheless if anything id enjoy to see your process of going about it.
