I do remember having a brake balance of 4 / 0, (courtesy of Praiano
as having had a 3/4 when I first experimented with it, always threw the rear out, under braking.
but with this 4/0, the car would plow toward the front, resulting in the corner entry understeers.
So I tried a 4/1, then finally deceided on a 3/2 and it is much better. I even raised comp front by one, to reduce rate of front end drop, but too much of this would result in oversteer at rear.
I will further try a 2/1 or 1/1, havent got around to it yet.
my only aid is ABS @1, I fear for the worst at ABS 0 at this time with this car.
Logitech G25 Manual shift, often spreading gear ratios toward mid/wider settings, to prevent too high RPM on downshifts, while being in good power line for pedal to the metal requirements.
What happens on corner entry? I don't believe my rear tires ever turned red with this car. I can tell alot about the car I'm driving, toward the first split time of between 1:16-1:18 range (offline practice, real grip, no tire consumption)
One thing I noticed, is this car drops speed very quickly on simple throttle release, perhaps engine decompression is at play. (wish the sound of this was better implemented, with clutch plates)
if front tire(s) turn red, it would be only for a split second, usually outside front, rarely do tires ever stay red for long.
TL;DR, on corner entry , the car would seem to understeer as if all 4 tires are drifting away, but settling the car in a mild (10-15%) oversteer fashion, point its way toward mid apex, while understeering, tires being whitish. Its the best I can describe it without video at this time.
@ toward Hatzenbach 1st highspeed righthander , in an MR, I could coast this at 195-200km, but this car pushes wide on entry, lowering it to 180 at most.
Then right under required braking from 210km/hr approaching the actual Hatzenback, I usually negotiate this one at 135km/hr+ in an MR, this Cobra only at 118~ ish..
@Flugplatz, The double apex right hander, right up from the 1st bridge, strangely, it flies into the first apex too suddenly (losing speed down to 180-190), but can floor it immediately out of this corner at 205km/hr, white tires here, that's so far so good at this high speed corner. (Actually, a hint of red on outside rear here lol)
(MR evora I can 217km/hr from beggining to end with it)
@ Schwedenkreuz, approaching it, at 275 km/hr (makes 270 before crest), I often survive this ok, holding the apex anywhere from a measly 200 (if too nervous), to a much preferred 235-240, both cars can do this ok, which I'm happy about.
@ Aremberg, late apex right hander, toward the first checkered split time, this is where I dread the Cobra from the understeer (car pointing as oversteer), from the harsh required slowdown of the straight behind me, the Cobra loses too much time settling into the late apex. Like 3 seconds, that's unforgiveable for me.
The MR Evora dives in at 140, and chisels it through flat out in 3rd gear, usually where I pass everyone online.
Thus crossing the split time in 1:18s offline in the Cobra, thanks to it's high speed and acceleration, but loses too much time in entries.
The 2nd split time at top, I can do 1:47.500 with the Cobra, imagine if I could fix my entries, it would beat the Evora at 1:43.500
Thx for reading, sort of a Diary of the Nurburgring I'm writing out here.
