Since i'm a newb, i havent learned much about the setups yet. I did the locked differential, and it helps a bit. Best time now 1:37.58

Nope, I don't have to admit. When the car spins out, and I'm facing the wrong direction, I don't call it perfectly balanced. Perfectly balanced is when the tail smoothly breaks out to rotate yourself around the turn, not swinging out at a 90 degree show drift style cornering.

The problem I think is that entire class of cars, the TBO. They are all just so unresponsive. I turn the wheel, and the car...... wait...... just a few more...... Ok, there, now it responds. But throttle response in the XRT in comparison to the steering response is instantaneous.

I don't like any of the XRs. The XRG, XRT, nor the XRR. I can't drive any one of them. I have better lap times in the XFG than I do in the XRT, LOL.

What is your racing car?

you have a LFS shortcut right? Right click on it, click properties, look at the target path.

Quote from mrodgers :

XRT for me is purely a drift only car. I don't drift, but no matter how I set that car up, I can't keep the tail behind me. The FZ5 is always said to be a difficult car to drive and keep the tail behind (from a racing aspect), but I find it a very easy car to drive. XRT though, I'm always drifting, even though it's unintentional.

Hmm, I guess I understand the turn limits of the car, and thats why im taking more caution on speed around turns.

The XRG is nice too, I'm just a big FI fan.

Thanks, seems so obvious now.

I downloaded a WR replay to watch, however I'm not sure where to put it in the Program Folder. Usually there's a friendly looking folder named replays, but I cannot see anything like that.

I have used the search feature.

You guys are talking about Blackwood GP track right? If so then I really do need to improve.

I only got the game very recently, leave me alone

Nope, I ment the FXR (FXO GTR), the one with 490bhp, 462 lbft

Did a lap each on blackwood. With XR GT I did 2:06.77, with XR GT Turbo I did 1:50.48

I tried the BF1, couldn't even get it moving, I guess I need to figure out how to drive formula 1. I like the XRT, RB4, and the FXR. Though obviously for races the faster one would be best.

What cars do you guys generally use? For regular racing, drifting, etc.

Quote from harjun :

oh sorry...i thought you meant an additional handbrake...yes, as android said, either the sequential, or one of the paddles would probably work best

Yeah, but cool suggestion though. Maybe someday when I get that crazy.

Quote from pine-fin :

I'm faster with the H-shifter than sequential. Sequential 'feels' odd and H-shifting feels so natural, that it makes me faster. I don't know which gear im on with the sequential, but with H-shifter I don't have that problem. Matter of practice I think..

I drive sequential in a real car, so I wanna try and do the H gate. Its more fun too.

I just got my g25, and started playing this game. I'm wondering what a good bind is for the hand brake?
