Psh, as much as I find that hyntty is a great racer, I think taylor's gunna win this specially if I manage to get a good quali and slow down the rest of the pack :P
Not that I'm giving up or anything.... but seriously, Taylor only has to finish 9th; I hate these cars; I don't know the track; I've hardly driven any laps.... I'd skip the whole event if there wasn't a theoretical chance to win.
Though I think we are all winners here! At least those of the 50 sign-ups who bothered to show up. And a 2nd or 3rd anyway isn't too bad. And (not to brag, of course) I was pretty good, but my races often went wrong because of someone else.
This kind of league is easy to approach, when you've got no experience of anything similar. It's nearly been a positive experience till now.
Haven't practiced much but I'm running around 2:50.9x to 2:51.2x in RAC. According to my most recent simulation, I will qualify 2nd and then spin in front of Taylor in the chicane causing him to hit the tires flipping over and getting a DQ.
It's very accurate. It even accounts for lag, disconnects, penalties for chatting, wrecks during SC, everything It says you will finish dead last. Sorry!
sorry, cant hold RAC steady, so back to LX4 seat i cant understand how can you be so danm fast!! i can do 3:00, but 2:50.... cant imagine...how?? i cant find a braking point after a first long straight on the bridge, than having dificulties with that dangerous chicane wich was T1 in FEGreen round, and than those five or six last corners, wich seem to be made for drifting...
mwuahah, I was lying to make everyone panic and practice hard.. With RAC, if you don't push the car at all and just drive the safest line possible you should be able to get 2:58 easily with default set.
I usually drive with driving line on I really wish they would get rid of that feature. It's very useful because you can use it as a marker for your braking lines (whereas usually you have to use objects on the side of the road) but it's unrealistic.
On the bridge I'm 100% brakes when it's yellow but my braking distances might be slightly longer because I'm pretty bad at heal-toe. It's easy to lock the brakes there which will increase your braking time and destroy your tires.
The chicane after the bridge section? That's actually one of the places where I have the least amount of trouble. I usually trail brake into the chicane, find a line where I can go straight through, keep the wheel straight and floor it... I think anyway. I haven't practiced here in a while. I have a feeling I can go MUCH faster through there. I'll have to analyze my time with the WR - the problem is there is no good WR for this track. The current WR runs very loose while I've seen drivers be very smooth and get equivalent times. The next WR lap is ~4 seconds slower.
I'm awful at just about every turn after the first 2 splits Through the first 2 splits I'm on pace for a good lap. All hell breaks loose after that and I usually wind up running a ~2:56. Wish I had more time to practice...
haha that's cool. I'll be on another dang business trip until saturday evening. When I get back my CST pedals should be waiting for me! But they will probably have a negative impact on my times until I set them up properly and get used to them
thank you guys replays or WR did not helped much, and the line sucks, because without it i can more concentrate on the road and use every inch of it line is helpfull only for first time runs on the track, when you still dont know it. My AI with rac does 2:57 and with LX4 2:58... its difucult, but i can stick to their ass all the track, so by cutting few corners i can do 2:55 hope
