[HammyMansell]

Great result CRAPpers, we trounced them!!!!

VERY WELL DONE GUYS, 1-1 now!!

This coming week we can think about what our next combo will be, and i'll also arrange the next qualy, sadly @Mrlaney32 ham_ilton and @Bjorn Lucas , as you were the 2 lowest finishers, you are eliminated from automatic qualification for the next race, but you can still qualify of you want to!

Via PM from @Football67611 Good lap!

 

[Carnby7]

Well it's not the best of laps it's pretty decent.
I'd like to be able to push 1:00 if I can. I would of gotten a 1:01 if I didn't goof up to much. I'll be updating it soon with a better run tomorrow.

Note: This thing is VERY touchy, very tail happy, prone to under-steering easily and very easy to lock up. Just letting others know before attempting this tough challenge.

Good lap @Carnby7 and sure you can try as much as you like! Send me a friend invite too on PSN please! Thanks!

@Tensa Proto are you interested in doing this month's team vs team race?

I'm 1:03.2 at the moment and finding more time. I've never been any where near the pace on this track before and only now am i finding where the time is.

Slow in, fast out is the way with Oulton Fosters JSB, keep the momentum going! 👍

 

[Football67611]

I am loving the SuperLight!

 

[JohnScoonsBeard]

For now that's the best I've done. In theory I can do a 1:02.5 but not happening today.

1:03.109
I was half a second up on that but was so determined not to blow the last corner I practically stopped on it. Pressure

 

[RHINO2K]

I am loving the SuperLight!

Such a great car harsh on tyres though

 

[Football67611]

Very hairy chested!

 

[JohnScoonsBeard]

I've just realised abs is allowed. My time was without ABS. If I get time I'll try again with abs to see how much difference it makes (if at all).

Nice lap brah!! Updated!!!

 

[Spooky Wooky]

Did a 102:257 as my best attempt just now and think I could probably shave another half a second off that. (will post proof when I find my USB stick)

Keep trying Spooky!

 

[Spooky Wooky]

1:02:014 - I find all the time is made/lost in the last sector, specially the last corner. On my 2nd fastest lap I was up 0:395 at T2 line, so there's still time to be made.

1:01:740 - my final offering. (almost exactly half a second quicker than the 1:02:257 I said I could knock half a second off *smug face*)

 

[HammyMansell]

The Hamster was feeling restless this morning due to his weeks sabbatical from racing, so i let him out of his cage, and he surprised himself....

I bet it's not as smug a face as my hamster got right now Spooky! I reckon another 5/6 tenths are there, a 00:9.........

Put a pic up when you can!

 

[Spooky Wooky]

Good stuff Hammy, I was expecting to get beaten and I was expecting it to be you.

 

[HammyMansell]

But the others will beat me afterwards!!

 

[RHINO2K]

But the others will beat me afterwards!!

i dont know hammy thats a great lap well done

 

[HammyMansell]

i dont know hammy thats a great lap well done

Thanks mate!! Missing the game already, it's doing me, and The Hamster good!!

 

[Football67611]

@HammyMansell your time away from pcars has paid off! Wow that's fast!

 

[HammyMansell]

@HammyMansell your time away from pcars has paid off! Wow that's fast!

Thanks bro!! Yeah, and there's still 2 days to go lol! The trick is to keep the car as straight as possible, minimum sliding.

 

[Carnby7]

Want a tip to making you faster with the car? Try to balance her as MUCH as you can. And challenge yourself without the ABS on. It's more rewarding and does take some time to get used to.

Like I said, I KNOW I can get to the 1:01 barrier if I don't mess up. The key to this car is to keep it not only balanced but as straight as possible. Also try this on for size, put a tad bit of gas on while braking and downshifting. I found out it keeps the back end stable going on hard braking. (The reason for doing this is because this car is super LIGHT! You're going to have to treat the car as if it's a semi-race car to compensate for the lazy tires. Plus it keeps the back end balanced while moving as such speed.
This car was mainly built to be loose all the time, so making it go faster is not it's strong suit. You got to force it to go faster by saying "Hey! Stop shaking your butt and keep your eyes forward we got a laptime to catch!")

Hope this gives you an idea how to improve and better your time on the track.

Thanks man, pretty much the driving technique i used earlier, and no ABS for me as always.
