Thanks Stotty for our dicussion. Interesting.
"I'm not using 2nd at all from the exit of Casio until braking for the hairpin..."
"Casio" Do you mean degner 2? if not, is the "hairpin" turn 1?
"I must be pulling a faster line through Dunlop as if I didn't brake for Degner 1 I'd fly straight off!!"
Indeed - i do slow down but just with a lift until corner done - then down to third and through degner 2. But I agree: degner 2 is a hard one.
"Agree, hairpin in critical to a fast lap - vital to not understeer here yet still get on the power before the apex."
totaly agree
"I slightly lengthened your 3rd and 4th gears to save using 5th on the straight, but I'm still hitting >150mph before 130r, so need to brake (early) a touch before balancing the throttle and then turning in... should be 140mph (c.226kmh)... I'll try just lifting and see if that works."
I need to check that my setup is the same as my post. I really never have to use 5th on the straight before 130R. For me the 130R is a matter of turning as litle as possible - if you understand what I mean.
But - mate - remember this is the fun tune and it was'nt ment to do great times in free run. Just a matter of convincing my friends that oversteard cars can go fast.
I hope you join in to some scandinavian flick buisiness at suzuka online one day. Its fun - yeah.
