Need to get your tyres to last around 6 laps for starters.


Gedi has done his Q lap too :grumpy:
 
I need help with my 2nd gear at the starts:

1st is too much wheelspin
2nd bogs down
any tips anyone? :)

Correction think you did i still sucked mate.:lol:

Umm can't work out why it bogs down when I sorted it as it's the exact same car,
Trial and error me thinks
 
If you dont mind outside help Gedi. You need to put 1st gear as long as possible. (All the way to the left) Then you need to lower the final gear until you get can grip off the line in 1st gear. Then you need to shorten the other gears if needed to get them into their power band.

For e.g say your running 3.500 1st gear and 3.000 final gear and you cant get grip off the line. You would put 1st to as low a number as possible like 3.250 or whatever is lowest. Then you can extend 1st more by putting the final gear lower 2.700 say but doing this though will make every other gear longer too so you will need to shorten them a little.

Hope I ain't intruding by posting here, I learnt this off CSL :).

R32's lastnight for example fella.:ouch:
 
Actualy the best i've had is 2nd in Pure Integras at Laguna Seca with R1600Turbo 1st by 4.6 seconds over me. There a few spot races coming up that I intend to win though ;).

How about you guys I see you did the smart thing after the increased tyre wear rubbish and gone to Hards 👍. As we all know less grip = closer racing :P.

Yes JB that was unfortunate but I was more concerned with the running of the race (I didn't want to selfishly hold up the race while everyone was ready to go.) Also I spotted an illeagal car and was still messaging Biffy via PSN to make sure he checked and sure enough it was :ouch:.
 
Not my favourite individual if im honest if you ask me hes far to clued up to make a mistake like he did.:yuck:

Yep hards all the way from now on always learning i spose nothing wrong with that.👍
 
Uhh ohh... 💡

Exactly what i said mate:scared: soften up the suspension and it can be done even on the Lexus and thats a notorious tyre shredder. Will probably involve 6 mistake free laps for some cars mind you.:nervous:
 
I have lost my internet and dont know when it will be back.

Jb my days getting from bad to worse

Do you have a set download limit on your broadband? And when does the ISP register the bill?

Because you may have reached your download limit from your ISP (Mine is 25gb) and won't get any use of the Internet back until the date they register your bill (usually round the start of a month.)
