When your brake meter is almost all red you need to reduce your pressure on the brake. This will actually make your braking distance shorter. And yes, coming on the brake as well as coming off should be done gradually. I don't mean several meters but an increasing pressure until the red starts to get bigger then release enough to make the brake most effective.
best combo for me by far Gr1 @ lemans i have put up a top 100 time every time they have this combo one of the few combos I can do it with. Hopefully it continues
Some may not agree, but I think making an alt account and racing from the back (with the right attitude) helps racecraft HUGELY, and helps you go faster. When you do this, you get stuck behind slower drivers all the time. Since you're trying to be clean, and dealing with slower drivers, you end up lifting off the gas WAY before your typical brake marker to stay off the bumper of the slower driver, and braking much lighter than normal. You set your speed, giving yourself some room to the car in front, get a good angle for your drive, and get on the gas early to get along side on the straight. You may find yourself on and off the gas in an S curve, and realize you can roll right by at the apex of the second curve because of their bad line. You learn alot because your not pushing, but just driving along in traffic, looking for a clean way past. Good fun!
Practice is important for this upcoming race C as slipstream affects the cars handling massively. And Le Sarthe is thecworstvtrack in the game for mysterious track limits. So just be ready for a few here and there that you don't understand. We are all going to get them.Been a difficult few days racing wise for me since the pit time change. My DR did the stock market crash thing again while I tried to figure out hard tyre driving for race c. Even though I was practicing in time trials / ai races and doing ok I couldn't put it together in a daily race, was making silly mistakes and giving places away.
However, I have done a couple daily race C this afternoon and I have at least kept myself on the track so that I wasn't gifting places to folks and they had to put in some effort to pass me. My best finish was a 9th and while that was reliant on folks making errors I still had to stay in the race on the track to take advantage of them.
I hope that means I have made some progress and that I can carry that into next week.
EDIT:. Oh I have just seen next week's race C. Track I am not familiar with using the fastest cars while I assume mandatory hards / mediums. Perfect nothing can go wrong there
EDIT 2:. Ok a few test laps later and I think it will be worth my time to do some practice over the weekend. Weapon of choice is the Mazda LM55
The line is lava...
This is awesome. @RacingGrandpa as well. This is probably gonna be a game changer for me. I'll work on it all weekend.
two on the strip two on the pavement
For the last few weeks they've had both tyres mandatory so I think they may stick with that which should mix things up a little bit
Next week looks interesting.
In the meantime this was ridiculous.
P3 and P4 had been at each other for a lap before this clip starts. I had copped half a sec for cutting the T2-4 chicane but once I got back to them I was convinced they were going to take each other out. And then lo and behold the citroen goes for a punt up the inside of the last turn when the karting line overtake was definitely on. Doesn't even try to steer into the turn.
Was pretty miffed when he nudged my rear quarter as I straightened up. I had nothing to do with his dive bombing nonsense and was looking forward to stealing a podium. In the end I at least rescued it for P4 and the Italian who was P3 got P3 back. Meanwhile angry French lad hilariously tries to hit me again, ghosts and spins and finishes nearly last!!
But the thing that bothered me was that he never got a penalty for the original lunge nor the attempted double assault on me

Yes you should be banned for that. The other 2 well that's normal driving in their country leave them alone.

I got to witness some bad behavior today at RBR.
