After a week I think I'm getting to grips with his wheel, I'm probably making a meal of it though.

Any tips/pointers on my driving appreciated guy's.

ok took a look....

first few laps your lines are all over the place duno if was just you getting settled or what because last 2/3 laps ya lines wasnt that bad..

by watching that i think get a few problems sorted out you could be quite fastbut there are few things that stick like a sore thumb though, get this sorted you times will drop a LOT...

1. im falling to sleep when you start comming off the throttle for a turn, watch that again and see how long you coast!!!, you come off the throttle and do nothing for a good second then apply breaks and turn in, it all need to be speeded up a lot, off the throttle strait onto the break and start kicking down the gears this will slow you down MUTCH quicker shortening your breaking point plus the car will be more settled going into the turn in phase, you seem to have your foot hovering in mid air for what seems a iternaty, slow that sucker down!!...

2. near every lap in T1 you excelerate after making the turn (nothing wrong there mabe a bit sooner but that wll come) then you change into 4th gear VERY quicky, your loosing tons of time here that small chicane after 2 will make a good lap or a bad lap, and your loosing weeks in there, dont change so soon the engine is taking ages to puck back up those revs you just killed by changing to early, try changing just before the 1st apex in the chicane..

3. again chicane after t1, way to mutch lock used, your line is not great through there, remember the more you turn the wheel the more speed you scrub off and the time lost there you will carry all down that strait, find the line with as little turn as possible get that right its near enough strait though just 2 little KICKS...

4.final turn your drove me insane!!!! lol, your line was pretty nice through there on most laps but you keep comming off the throttle!!!,
watching ya line through there and how the car takes it you SHOULD be full throttle there easy, again another big turn as regards lap time, just nail it your line is good and so is the car so dont come off the gas!!.....

there are a few others but imo those are the main things, your not full throttle on some of the places you should be but that comes..

but for the love of god speed up the breaking procces i dont mean flick down the gears like a nutcase but your slowing down WAY to slow, i dont even know how you get those times by doing that lol..

last tip... if you post a replay again as regards to ya driving post a SPR not MPR as its hard to judge what lag and whats driver!

hope that helps a tad

funny you should say that, i never go 100% brake...it just does'nt feel right to the tyres to me. but, i took your advice and went round t1 .5 of a second faster.again.but, thats hotlapping, diving into corners hard on the brakes all of the time... i'm not shure which technique is better for racing

hehehe yup gota love the final turn one of my favourites in LFS....

as for the brakes!

im not so mutch talking about how mutch you apply, we all driver different and drive different setups..

what im trying to say is TO ME it seemed like a life time from comming off the gas and applying brakes and down shifting, as i say this MAY be lag but even with lag it seemed a little drawn out...

ill try and explain....
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-


you come to braking point

you come off the throttle
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
you then apply brake
.
then you begin downshifting...


thinking about the reason you think standing on the brakes feels strage may be because in that time (between comming off the throttle and braking) the car has already slowed down by some margin, so if you hit the breaks then you feel you are going into the turn to slow...

try-->

come to braking point
throttle off
brakes
downshift
turn-in


it all needs to be a bit more closer together, i hope ive explained it a little better now ... if you do that and you feel your going in to slow shorten your braking point.... dont forget the more time you spend on the throttle the faster you will be (unless your loosing traction all over the shop..) but you seema smooth driver by default anyway so shouldnt be to mutch of a problem..

Hmm.. okay, I just banned Nakkitartsani for posting S2 content as a demo user.. but it's FinishFlash?

Is there a good reason for an S2 user to have a demo account? These things are usually pre-arranged with mods, and Nakkitartsani isn't in our list of agreed accounts. If there's a very good reason for it, I have no issue adding the account to our allowed list and unbanning, but as things stand now we're unaware of any reason for this to stand.
#15 - Gizz
well if it is he will just have to use his "FinishFlash" account wont he .... if it is at least he know to contact you guys now
#17 - Gizz
congrats FinnishFlash nice to see ya ,

and FWIW i never said you was not FinnishFlash a lot of guys on hear seemed to be pretty sure but it maybe a good idea to tap the mods on the sholder
#18 - SamH
Okay.. Nakkitartsani's properly identified in PMs as FinnishFlash, and added to the list of S2 licencees known properly to the mods.

Please, all, DO NOT create demo accounts for grins. The forum policy is one username per licencee and it's strictly enforced, except by specific arrangement and agreement with the moderators as a group.
