I found that it was. The trick for me was in the gearing and careful use of the right footI think it is the R2 button. Not sure have to check.
And 100% is not always the fastest way

It opened just a few weeks ago, i might pop up there soon..The big dipper looks fun lol!
Good grief! Remember and sit at the front so the vomit flies backwards.
Hey hammy is that Alboreto's car? Also are you nd your friends up for some AC series?I'll incline my head too mate haha!

Anyone knows how "Allowed tyres out" and "Qualify limit" works?
Allowed tires out is how many tires you can have beyond the white line before getting a penalty. If you set it to 2 then if you get more than two tires outside the white line you'll get a penalty, if you set it to 4 you will not receive a penalty for going off track.
Qualifying limit is how long "overtime" will be between sessions. So if the best lap for that combo is 2 minutes and you set it to 100% people will have 2 minutes to complete their lap after the checkered flag falls on the session. If you set it to 150% people would have 3 minutes to complete their lap, etc. Ideally you'd set this around 110-120% to allow the slowest drivers plenty of time to complete their lap but not so long that it creates a long delay between sessions.
I would not call a 2.36 second advantage a slaughter on a track like the nurburgring. M4. - 7:52 renaultsport Megan 275 trophy r - 7:54.3Renaultsport make some of the finest and quickest hot hatches on the planet, yet an M3, M4 or Carrera S will slaughter them on track.
Its a similarly obvious, and as such pretty meaningless comparison.
Does it honestly surprise that a car along the lines of the LaFerrari will do so given they power to weight advantage it has over both the M3 and Carrera S?
Exactly, the 918 has, in the comparisons done to date outperformed the LeFerrari. However given the right track I'm fairly certain that they result could well be reversed.
The BTCC Focus lap time from Matt Jackson also put it all into comparison.
I am running 100% boost. Remember the PS4 and Xbox aren't on the same tire model at the moment!👍
I ran for 45 mins last night but was 1s off @HavanaB0B, using his set up... that's a lot on a short track I know very well.
Now give it a go with a Renaultsport Twingo and a Carrera S.I would not call a 2.36 second advantage a slaughter on a track like the nurburgring. M4. - 7:52 renaultsport Megan 275 trophy r - 7:54.3
On shorter track like Bedford auto from West circuit m3(f80) - 1.23.3 Renault 275 trophy r - 1.23.6
At anglesey m4 1:19.2 , 275 r - 1:19.6
Yes the m4/3 are faster but not buy much
PS4 is now.I am running 100% boost. Remember the PS4 and Xbox aren't on the same tire model at the moment!
How good is allowed 2 tyres detection?

Braking points in combination with @HavanaB0B is a one of a kind class. How he manages to break that late is still a surprise for a lot of us. I think he has an option on the Xbox to install extra Brembo's and that's cheatingAh, forgot Xbox hadn't had the update yet 👍
I'm at 51.6 (0.1 off fastest PS4 last time I looked), and I think I can get close to a 51 flat, but I see you've already improved to a 50 flat
I am using 100% turbo, and I can handle the exit oversteer. But I can't match your braking points, turn in pace or mid corner pace. The car isn't much fun to drive though (has shopping trolley levels of understeer, and doesn't respond to trail braking), so I might not bother giving it another go.
Varies from track to track, some people always seem to find little areas that don't count a cut but for the most part it's pretty good I think. I don't use it much because I hate the slow down penalties.
It is a shame the penalties don't occur end of the race instead of hammering you on track before crossing the line for a lap for DSQ.
It's Mr Mansell (my GTP and PSN ID ) in the 1989 Brazilian GP that he won in his first race for Ferrari, legend!! The car changed for the following round at Imola, they added an airbox, as i believe that car was the 1988 chassis without the turbo engine, as they all went normally aspirated from 1989 onwards, so airboxes became the norm.
Just quoted to point out the Ferrari 640 wasn't an 87/88C without the turbo engine. The 640 was the first Ferrari fully designed by John Barnard, which he started designing in '87. It was meant to run in '88, but they had major problems with the gearbox, so they updated the F1 87, which became the F1 87/88C.
The 640 was an all new car for the '89 season, and brought a number of major developments. It was well ahead of it's time with it's tiny, aerodynamic sidepods and semi-auto gearbox. Sadly, the innovative technology also proved to be incredibly fragile and unreliable, with the team recording 19 DNFs from 16 races between their two drivers. When the car was capable of finishing though, it did so in third or higher, with Mansell taking 2 wins, 2 seconds, and 2 thirds, from the 6 races he completed, and Berger taking a win and 2 seconds from the 3 races he completed. Berger was pretty unlucky, with 12 retirements from the 15 races he entered (he had to sit out Monaco after he was injured in a crash). Mansell also had his share of bad luck, with 7 retirements from the 15 races he entered (he was banned from entering the Spanish GP after reversing in the pit lane, ignoring black flags, causing a collision, and subsequently being disqualified from the Portuguese GP).
Oh and that airbox was added to improve the peak horsepower, as the original two side intake design, the purpose of which was to be a low drag intake, wasn't a good design for a normally aspirated engine. The ram air scoop increased air pressure in the intake, leading to a higher output. Ferrari needed to do this, as their V12 was behind the Honda V10 in max output (by roughly 15hp).
And yes, I am a huge Ferrari nerd.
Edit: I only pointed this out as I think the 640 deserves credit for being the forward-thinking, revolutionary F1 car that it was. It's often forgotten among the many epic cars of it's era, but it really was a standard setting car in many ways. If only it had been more reliable, they could have taken the title fight to Mclaren that year in a big way.
I really liked that era of Formula One cars. I don't know jack about F1 or F1 history, so it's nice to read informative posts like this one. 👍Just quoted to point out the Ferrari 640 wasn't an 87/88C without the turbo engine.
