It will be getting quicker though, been using replays to shave off those tenths here and there. A lot of time still to be found in turns 2&3 for me mainly..
 
i haven't done the TT with a wheel yet but I get the sense that having ABS off allows you to rotate the car almost like you were using the e-brake.

You can probably apply less braking force too and let the tyres slip angle slow the car down to the correct speed as opposed to waiting for the brakes to do all the slowing down for you...this is all in theory of course...I should probably give this TT a quick go before the next round shows up :P

Ok...I'm at 1:04.203... with buttons....I need a wheel bad: looking at one at the moment. Can anyone figure out why I'm losing a full second plus somewhere between Surtees-McLaren and Clearways? Am I scraping that much speed because of the directional buttons? or is it possible that my exit speed off Graham hill is too slow? I'm .400 seconds slow until graham hill, then it just dies.

What is your apex speed at Graham hill?

Also if you want a wheel, i recommend a logitech G27
 
Took yesterday off from the Leaf and then today decided to watch @oink83's tutorial video. The only thing I took away that I wanted to try (compared to @Tidgney) was to trail brake coming into Clearways and boy did it work for me. I think it helped in 2 ways. First, it helped rotate the car better for me towards the apex. Second, it forced me to get on the gas a little sooner than I was previously. Thanks @oink83!

Within 4 laps, I went from 1:03.923 to 1:03.762, when I was 0.007 off pace at the 2nd sector. So I cut .168 off the final sector.

Well, I finally decided to download Holland's ghost, and now I'm really irritated. I'm faster than him in T1, then lose 0.3 in T2, lose another 0.5-0.7 in T3, and then am as fast as him in the back stretch. Ugh. -_-

My wheel FF comes in and out and was just about to give up on using it so am very happy with that time. Only a second off the top :)

That's the fun thing about clearways really, there's so many ways to take it that it's specific to driving style :)! Nice work on the improvements :).

Maybe so but

I believe it takes more skill to get a fast time without the handbrake personally

Not really. The handbrake just allows us to effectively change the brake bias whilst we're going around a corner. In the hairpin here it is very useful because the car tends to understeer as you trail brake into the corner.

Pretty much the same result with lift off oversteer if u get it right. I hear u cant use the handbrake if u get through tho so thats the main reason im practicing without mine.

Lift off oversteer doesn't seem to work for me into the hairpin unless I switch off ABS, but I can't seem to find a braking point then. I used the handbrake in the national finals last year and nobody said anything about it...
