Thanks for all the advice chaps!

Use more of the track, and turn in a bit earlier are the two keys points I think.

Just out of interest, which view to most of you use when driving? I've been using the in-car view (right hand drive). Is there a better view for gauging track position?

Well attached is my replay. Its quite a long one - about 17 laps - gradually getting faster and arriving at about a 1:38.08 or something.

Suggestions on how to improve would be greatly appreciated.

I'd post a replay if someone can tell me which game mode to use and how to save it

Well I have my Thrustmaster RGT Force Feedback Pro wheel rigged up now, and managed to get down to a 1.38.50 ish.

I think my problem is mainly with the racing line - I think I am turning in too late on corners. The problem is, if I turn in too early and I clip the inside curb too heavily, then on some corners that can cause you to flip.

I guess its practice practice and more practice as you say!

I'm driving the XF GTI on Blackwood, by try as I might I can't seem to get quicker than about 1:39.64 - and I see lots of people doing 1:34's.

Is it mainly down to car setup? (I've noticed that I need to adjust the gear ratios, as the default race settings are not close to topping out on the main straight). Or is it mainly down to driving technique?

Suggestions for car setup / technique would be greatly appreciated!

Ah cheers. I was rather spamming the chat on that server trying to get an answer, so I hope I did not piss anyone off

I joined one server today (sorry, forgot the name).

Every time I tried to join a race it kept kicking me back to the pits with the message "passengers not allowed".

The thing is, I have passengers switched OFF from the pits menu, but I was still getting this message every time I tried to join a race on that server?

Any idea what is causing this?
