Quote from myx :

My car is slowing down in latter stages of the race very often. Not on all tracks though, but exceptions are minor. On the CTRA servers things begin to go wrong about halfway into the race. I checked the Clutch, i had no more damage then any other. Tyres were perfectly normal temp after a few laps, had no spins to damage was nothing that should drag me down(last laps i drive about 10 secs slower then usual, cant even get in 4th gear on south city sprint e.g)

I tried driving on singleplayer and kept hitting great laptimes around 1.00 and it was consistent aswell, throughout all the laps(10).

So im guessing CTRA servers have a different setup about damage and such. I still to this day cant figure out what is wrong leaving me practically last in every race i participate. The first laps where i actually can compete i can keep up with the other cars, so im not a slow racer. I will suffice some replays for you people tonight since i can't do it atm. Anyone who has an idea what it might be?

In the new patch the engine has been updated so it is more affected by high revs. That means that when you come down to a slow corner hit the brakes and slam it into second for example the engine will be reved very high. you can avoid this by setting the brakes for more pressure so you dont affect braking distance and then shift down more gently.

sorry if this is a bit hard to understand but its in the night and i am very tired so the concentration is not to good.

Karting really it is the purest form of motorsport and the racing is really cheap compared to the competitevnes

Quote from GruntOfAction :

Isn't it obvious guys? There are bombs on your cars and they are set off after a certain time is done (Like 31.XX on the oval :P). So if you want your car to explode try and go for that world record :P....Actually..It arms the bomb after you do it..but if you go under 155MPH your car explodes...thats how that movie Speed went..lol.

Quote from webdigga :

Can anyone please help me. I am new to the game and like the original poster, I have been mainly driving the FOX at AS club. Have been getting my times down bit by bit but can't get my laps down any further that early 1:02's.

I have attached a replay - if anyone could give any pointers that would be great as I'm about 1 - 1.5 secs off the leaders atm. The 3 laps in this replay are pretty standard as to what times I would normally get...

Thanks
David

Okay first what set are you driving with? A good setup can make a big advantage in the "chicane" after the first corner.

Look here for setups.
http://gentlefoot.com/sets.html
These setups is not world record sets but with a good driver they can be very fast while still not being extremely difficult.

I used Analyze for speed and F1PerfView for the analyse. Both programs can be found here http://www.lfs.net/?page=analysers


Analyse
You are the Blue line, i am the red line and the green line is the world record.

First Corner

Your braking point is good you brake at the exsactly same time as me and just a little bit before the wr but that is okay

http://img137.imageshack.us/im ... 43/1cornerentrancetc7.jpg
You leave the brake way to fast and therefor you have a speed much higher than both me and the wr

http://img505.imageshack.us/img505/918/1cornerexitag7.jpg
The high entrance speed results in you making an early apex and therefor you get way later on the throttle than me and the wr.

Chicane

http://img505.imageshack.us/img505/4353/chicanehz6.jpg
Try to get closer to the kerp in the first half of the chicane but be aware the kerp can be really nasty. The second half was good so no comment there

http://img458.imageshack.us/im ... 50/chicanesteeringhj4.jpg
By looking at your steering in the chicane i can see that you are really fighting the car. If you dont have a setup made for this track then get one that should help alot in that corner. Then remember to be as smooth as possible so you dont lose speed.

Last corner
http://img225.imageshack.us/im ... /lastcornerbrakingtp9.jpg
You brake way to late here, but your line looks pretty good

http://img261.imageshack.us/im ... 635/lastcornerlineth4.jpg
Beacouse of your very late braking you a way to big line into the corner and there have to travel a longer distance. You do also get later on the throttle and therefor lose speed all the way down the straight.

Finished!!!!
That took a bit longer than i expected.. But it was worth it beacouse i also noticed some thing i could do better my self.

Ps. if you have any more questions feel free to ask them
