i just wanna see if i can get within a 1:33:1xx and get a consistent 29:7x first sector which is very hard to do and i dunno why i can consistently stick within 29's its fluctuates between 29:9x and 30:0x but i ultimately wanna go low 1:33's even 1:33 flat would be amazing for me and i've been trying to do it in hotlap mode, too see what is causing my first sector to be not consistent and why i struggle to get the 29:7x sector i have been aiming for.

bump! still need to find that bit more any help is great! please!

havent played for a while, but i want to know what someone thinks of this lap its average though, been months and havent been on frequently

i found a better lap of me if anyone wants to have a peek and give their opinions,its slower then the other one, but with much better sector times -_-

How am i with steering and throttle for the rest of the course am i too rough, is my timing for full throttle right or am i just a fraction too late?

Always quite difficult when it gets down to this level.. I'd say the main points:

Not very smooth on starting curve, you keep wheel straight then turn quite hard, want a much smoother line.. thats only costing you like 0.01-.02 though

You also turn into the inside kerb of the chicane a bit too much, losing you speed out of chicane and hence are slightly slower all down the straight. I'm obviously not the person to come to for help here though, as thats also the main difference between my lap vs WR

You lose a bit more time at the corner at the end of the straight as you don't quite touch the apex.. want to just nudge that one..

2nd last corner need to straighten up wheel as you come off brakes to stop sliding, as it loses you a lot of speed.. you also are slightly wide of the apex
(Maybe what you did on lap 2 works, but think you could probably carry in more speed with a narrower entry, personal preference though)
Also could be minutely closer to last apex, although less of an issue. try to keep to the right on the final stretch to the finish line a bit more though

Another difference (not necessarily a bad thing in this case) is you carry more speed into 2nd corner in sc2, running slightly wider on exit so lose a bit of speed into sc3.. seemed to gain you time though

Hope some of that vaguely helped

2nd last corner is that the downhill right hander just after the right, left S bend or the uphill left hander?

Is the curve the first corner? So i have to be a smoither steering into the first turn? Inside if the chicane is that the entrance or middle just need clarification cheers for the help man appreciate it

here are the attachments guys if someone could help explain to me in detail what i'm doing thats slightly different.

does someone mind breaking down my lap in detail compared to another faster lap i have a basic understanding but i find it hard where to improve and i'm having trouble reading it like steering,brake and throttle inputs even when slowing it down.

thx for the help Jinja Jorj the car seems to naturally understeer wide out of T1 i think its setup thing because as you said its made for eft hand side drivers and i'm on the right which is what i've always had in the back of my mind but wasn't sure how much of a difference it made but i guessit would when you sit on the left and the setup is based aruond that + its setup to use for a mouse and i'm using a G27 steering wheel dunno if it makes much difference though, but every little bit helps i'll try your set over the next 2 days and see how i go

anyone got any more tips or help please

this is my beast

thx man i appreciate it i have tried using all the analysers but i'm still struggling that little bit i'll try use it again though and i'm using a G27 wheel, it may not help i'm using a mouse setup on a steering wheel but i've managed to make it work, am i being too rough on the car though, do i need to be abit smoother?

hey guys i have attached 2 replays i'm surrently aiming for a 1:33:1xx but so far i'm struggling i have attached a replay of the fastest lap i've ever done round blackwood along with another replay of a time i would like to achieve, i am having a bit of trouble distinguishing what i'm doing different to the other person i think it may be my pedal imputs or the amount of steering i''m not sure any tips i would really appreciate as i've been trying to study it for a while but can't make sense it for it, i appreciate it guys

heres a replay so you can all have a look and give me some tips guys

Thx man really appreciate the help, it will really help me along the way, I'm not quite sure how to set up cars or what to tune first then next I'm guessing you do spring and dampers first then gears and fiddle with the tyres last feel free to watch the replay to see if there's something else I may be doing slightly different or wrong really appreciating the in depth detail guys

cheers man i appreciate the help and, i've had a look at the replays and how they do it and i do my own thing then slowly work my way up to the same as the WR or close too but i dunno if i'm trying emulate the all 3 too quick or i'm under the impression i'm being smooth and being that lil bit too rough and it seems to be th first turn i'm struggling with more then anything and the chicane after coming out of the right hander after the long straight, they seem to be my weak points and i've tryed a variety of different things and can't get it to quite turn in like i can in the replay, instead of doing say 105 by the apex i'm doing 102 before i can accelerate but i'm turning it at the right point etc so thats why i don't understand, after analysing the replay the car seems to turn in really weird like its glued to the road literally where as mine doesn't, could it be the way they turn in( steering,brakes,throttle) or the way they've set up the car before corner entry

thx for the help guys appreciate it

cheers man i appreciate it yes i know what you mean even though it looks the same its not but when i watch the replay closely it looks like they put on the power as hard as me with no understeer unless its just a lil slower and i've never realised it, but when i've been watching it all the inputs look the same to me unless i'm not focusing enough, i know steering looks alot rougher then mine yet the car still points where they want, feel free to correct me though i love learning new things and every reply/replay is allowing me to try a new approach

already done that man, i just wanted someones personal point of view and tips as to were i'm going wrong coz i seem to be doing the same thing as really fast guys but not quite going as quick, any help is appreciated

thx man wasnt sure where to put it i'm new to posting threads on forums

thx guys appreciate the feedback yeah i can sort you out with som tips if you like and i've compared it to the WR and stuff and i feel like half the time i'm doing the same thing but ggetting no results its kind of a misconception, half the time my lines are pretty much spot on and other times i can't tell how they turn the car in quite so well for example the tricky little right left after the long right hander, and first corner i've had issues with lately, might be the set is off the net and the controller used was a mouse where as i'm using a wheel and i may not be able to go faster because i've adapted as much as i can to the set and might be why i'm struggling with going faster because i''m using a wheel and the set is made for someone else and not one chnage has been made, maybe if i make one myself i shoul dbe able to go faster but not the best at making sets all i know is to do one thing at a time and do consistent laps and see if the changes you make gets the car do what you wanna do and a set is all about compromise so i've gotta work out where i can make up the most time, and i've gotta remember my reference points i don't have a reference for all the corners that might be why i can do say 29:83 split one lap then its a 29:90 for the next coz i'm slightly doing different things without noticing, anymore help would be appreciated guys thx

cheers man i've been pushing it i think in some cases my entry speed is higher then some of the real fast people then and in some cases my line is slightly off but by the tiniest margin and exit speed lost is like half km/h but i technically thought the more track you use more speed as long as you get the lines pretty much spot on , its more trying to get the car to balance just before turn in that way when i scrub of speed i can hit the throttle earlier once i've turned in and hit the apex, bearing in mind this set i downloaded of the net its Nilex's old set and i havent made changes to it, its meant to be for a mouse but i'm using a wheel to drive it, i guess i've reached the limitations of the set but it should be able to do 33;1's but it may be i can't adapt to it well enought to get its full potential may try making a set to suit me and see how i go, not the best at understanding how it works though so i'll read up on it.

hey guys been trying for the past few days to beat my PB but i'm finding it a real struggle can anyone give me some pointers i'll upload a replay

Not everyone would be able to drive the a set someone else is made, and it'd take them a while to adapt to it longer then 10 mins and some people adapt quickly then others with the crappy set it makes it more fair
