Well, i just took the XRG for three laps on BL1 since i noticed that i never actually raced that combo. My first lap from starting grid i ran 1:44, second lap 1:39, third lap 1:33. Obviously they are not the best times but i never raced that combo but still managed 17 seconds under 1:50. Plus i was using the default set up

Quote from Bob Smith :

Hey, it took me quite a while to first get under 1:50, back in the day! (Talking about XF GTI). Hell, probably a day or two just to get under 2 mins.

Ummm he is using the XRT, not the XFG. Lol

Quote from agm_ultimatex :

I only got the game very recently, leave me alone

If you know how to turn the car and drive in a straight line, anyone should be able to get at LEAST 1:35 - 1:40

He watched The Ring video.

7 daysssss




(If you haven't seen the movie, The Ring, then you won't get the reference.

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

1:50.48 with the XRT is probably one of the lousiest times i've ever seen.

Quote from obsolum :

I just did a few test sessions with the XFG on SO Sprint 1. First session with sequential gearbox, second session with H-shifter and then another session with sequential gearbox. I ran the fastest lap with the H-shifter; about .2 seconds faster than the fastest lap with the sequential gearbox. Overall, though, there seemed to be hardly any difference. So I guess it just depends on how well you can use the H-shifter and what you're used to using

How many laps did you do with each?

I ate squash once.








I didn't like it.

The breaking point is where you start breaking for a turn. Once you start breaking, you want to keep breaking until you reach the speed you need to be able to make the turn. The technique that is used for continuous breaking is called "Hell and Toe" or "Heal and toe downshift" or "heal and toe double clutch" Search for it online and you will get many results.


Can someone else give me a hand with helping Austin, at least someone clarify that what i'm telling him is correct...

Don't worry about it. Just use the "Edit" button next time.

In response to your question, you don't necessarily have to do it earlier, just do it faster. First you should learn the braking points, then when you know them, get in the lower gear as soon as you can

you wanna break a little, clutch in, blip throttle, put it in 5th, still on the breaks, clutch in again, blip throttle, put it in 4th, off the clutch, off the breaks as your turn in, and start accelerating

The setup has only a little to do with it. You shift early to begin with, wait for the red light to come on and then shift. Also, the time you waste with the clutch in results in the turbo losing all of its momentum. (is the correct term torque?)

Judging from your replay, use paddle shifter for gtr cars. You are shifting wayyy too slow, clutch is in too much. When downshifting, get it in gear and get the clutch out, you don't wanna be dilly dallying with the clutch in trying to corner your already narrow turns. THe reason why your rear wheels lock is because you let the revs drop by keeping the clutch in. you wanna break, clutch in, do a little heal toe/double clutch, drop it down the gears until you are in the one you want to be during the EXIT. turn in,hit the apex, already be accelerating, start shifting up. But yea, your shifts are way to slow anyway. Other than that, look for a wider line through turns, go to the outside edge and turn in from there. You want BIG radius turns. After that, do it as many times as you can until your fingers or feet fall off. Then you'll have it down.

Ok i understand now. I think that all it's really going to take is practice. Theres a thread that someone posted already containing the "clutch or no clutch" debate. Some people use it, some people don't. It's really a matter of opinion. Some people say they are faster with the clutch, others don't. I say all you have to do is practice the coordination and you should be pulling out them low 1.40s. Consistency is the key.

Quote from Lible :

Ofcourse NO-TC is faster, because all that TC does is LIMITING your power.

Not true, with TC off, all you do is spin the tires

(for users with mouse only, if you use pedals however, power can be regulated)

Quote from XCNuse :

Ans, W4H, and Moonchild, your posts were deleted for a most basic reason; we don't need that here, if you have something to post, make it helpful.

Although many of my posts are idiotic, i actually had no idea wtf he was talking about and was curious. I still have no idea what he is talking about and would like to know.

Quote from breadfan :

And how many options would you like in the poll? One for every tenth of a litre?

//edit: Just for your pleasure and the fun of others, I suggest making a compilation of as many numbers as possible and then run a frequency analysis on it to find the "most popular" value. If you want just the pure average, sum all the values and divide the result by the number of the values. Shoud be enough.

I'm fairly certain that he knows how to average several numbers

Quote from The Very End :

I`m not sarcastic, lol I did really not understand it :s
But ok, it`s a disease, that gets you to associate differnt things with different sense? I think I understand...still very strange :S

I'm not sure its a disease, its just the first word that came to mind. But regardless, it is strange.

Quote from The Very End :

And I don`t quite understand it, even when I try to read what people have answered I don`t got it what this topic is about. Maybe it`s just me that is brain-damaged then?

Lol. I can't tell if you're being sarcastic. If you are, . If you're not, i think he has some kind of common disease that isn't harmful just associates different things with different sense. So if he ate an apple he would see the color red. Something like that.

This is the funniest thread/thread title i have ever seen.

There is no decimal point in a ratio. How many more people are going to try to write a ratio that way?

You are speaking on behalf of all LFS racers? Believe me, you wouldn't want to knock me out, I'm too nice of a person. But if there is ever an LFS get-together near me, I wouldn't tell anyone that I'm wheel4hummer until after I am done having a conversation with them.

....am i?

But there is surprisingly little evidence that human beings have had much to do with it.

I'm not saying humans have anything to do with it. I'm saying it exists.
