Brakes are your enemy (subtly muttered under his breath by the Grim Reaper...)
Excessive braking will kill your speed.
Insufficient braking kills something else.
At least here, it is virtual.

Not that I'm a pro at braking. I do feel that is a spot the keeps me from being "worst driver" good. However I do know that progressive pressure is key. Bring on the initial hard and and release progressively. Once you set the nose and scuff some speed it doesn't take much brake pressure. Also try a modulating brake motion.
Adding some tension to the pedal. Like a stiffer spring could benefit too.
There is a progressive spring available for the G27. Not nixim's another. It's rumored to be awesome.
The other thing I struggle with is with high horsepower cars not being to conservative on the gas. I'm either too conservative or to aggressive. I know that some people go up a gear coming off the corner which I've tried but I feel slow doing that.
Hill try FFB 3. I am using less hand grip and this allows more feel from the fingers. In turn better feel when car looses traction. If that makes sense.
Worth the try.
The overpowered cars seem to leave me two modes: Grandma speed, and nobody is impressed, and Braking News: Handlebar Dead Again!
I am boggled at the idea that hp cars lead to 'too conservative' moments. I believe they exist, but, man,.... Too conservative and epic hp is rarely a problem. Not conservative enough and epic horsepower... That is a problem of a different color...
Anyways and changing subject.... I was very excited to finally be able to practice with the D1 guys so last night i filled my lungs, took a deep breath and prepared myself to kick those D1 guys a s s e s, eheheheh.
Now, I don't really know how i feel about such experience since my a s s was simply burned down by them!!!! like.... i don't get it!!!! How the **** can this guys be so damn quick??? I saw Hillracing passing me and 3 corners after he was gone!!! What kind of steroids do you guys feed your playstations?
That's it... for now on i'm practicing with D4 and D5 guys before i lose confidence in myself and start questioning everything about my driving.
Just a little tip: Instead of getting on off the gas during cornering, only give throttle when you're sure that can held it all the way down.
I remember watching a Top Gear a while ago when James May (I think) was being taught by a classic racer to lap a track during one of the challenges...It's the one piece of advice I remember from that session: wait until you can put the gas on, and not have to take your foot off, when coming out of a turn.
Owens, what's FFB3?
That's exactly where I got that piece of advice. That classic racer was Sir Jackie Stewart.

Is 1:47 good for cape ring north?
And 2:15 for spa?
I've practiced with you. You can find another second on each, or at least .5 sec.

Being that there is currently nothing scheduled for Tuesday night, how many SNAILs would be interested in an oval racing series running on Tuesdays at 11pm ET? I haven't worked out all the details yet but I'm thinking the racing would be about an hour in length and we would rotate between four tracks with the winner picking the car for the next week. It would be one car spec racing with tuning prohibited so there would be some restrictions on what the winner could pick. For example, it would have to be able to go around the superspeedways without hitting the rev limiter in the draft. We would use four tracks each month to crown a monthly champion, Daytona SS, Indy SS, Motegi SS, and High Speed Ring. I now HSR isn't an oval but it has a lot of the same characteristics of an oval and I think it would be better racing than Route X.
If you are interested in running something like this, either post here or PM me and if there are a few interested, I'll create another thread and go from there.

Hi All,
Posting here to let you know I am moving to D4. I requested this and zero and cheeb kindly allowed it mid season.
My reasons have nothing to do with the great racers and fine folks in D3 - you guys are awesome and you race clean. The reason is that I felt I was not at all competitive in this division, and I was holding others in the league up during qualifying and racing. The time I have to practice in the cars is dwindling due to a very busy time at work and at my current skill level I needed much more time in the cars before Sunday to compete with the D3 pace. I have time on Monday night but that usually doesn't help because new car combos come out Tuesday or Wednesday.
Hopefully I will receive the same warm welcome in D4 as I received in D3, from what I hear this is an awesome group too.
I will be taking on the responsibility of photographer for D4. (This will be great to use some of that open Monday night time on) If any other photogs have some advice on how you make this work efficiently I would appreciate it.
Thanks
