I have been in contact with;
-akawhitherussian
We have been discussing and swapping setups, but mostly gearings.
He drives more like me. ( more mortal ) Top guy.
-aughablo
He and I did the same thing, but I realized that his driving style is too different to mine. ( more immortal )
For example: That high gear cornering is a mistery to me.He and Immortal for example seem to drift into corners.And sometimes from behind it looks more like "edging" than cornering. Still can not explain how that is done!
We started our communication after I posted my idea about the hard setup in here.
How did I improve?
The short form: give me a job, and I will gladly be slower!!!
The long version:
Since I have time to spend and sleep not so well since January because of the above mentioned reason, I get my mind distracted with GT5.
For yesterdays race I did:
- 3 testruns to determine the strategy.Each run full race distance.Tried one, two and three stops.
- set up the car so that I minimise mistakes. ( zero camber! )
- set up suspension for deep braking into corners.
- tried that first corner soo often, that I would be certain not to spin.
- optimized gearing for overtaking . ( short 7th gear ) Shared that with aughablo.First he did not want to hear about it, because he thought it would be a cheat.
This is what I used yesterday:
Suspension:
20.0 20.0
1 7
3 10
1 7
Camber:
0.0 0.2
Toe:
-0.34 +0.95
Diff:
5 60 60
Brakes:
5 5
Gears:
6495
4755
3408
2674
2158
1868
1713
3843 final
340 km/h max
...One week`s work.Did the same for Spa.Totally different suspension and diff!Pretty much what Schumacher did in his first career - testing a lot.
That is how I hoped to improve and actually did yesterday.
I see toolo`s point.But he has a job. I would prefer his situation.
Well now It's over.
Was the hardest, fairest and ( up to yesterday after the race ) best organized seried that I ever had. Very good and clever competitors!!!!
one last thing:
IP: you send me a private message after you have had notice that I was without work.I will never mention the text outside.But put that in relation to the discussion here!
Ok.Was max fun.Met some new friends.Learned a lot.See you out there sometime in the future.
