Haha that's amazing! What Saab do you have? Mine's a 2006 93 Aero which I've tuned to 400 wheel š Gonna drop the engine tomorrow actually as got some nice goodies which can take more boost once I swap the internals of the factory turbo š
I got a 1:32.2 and I don't use it. Try to stay as far left before the turn, which can be tricky. Ideally I'll stay in 2nd gear throughout the turn, but sometimes I'll throw it in 1st briefly if I need more rotation, then quickly back into 2nd. I don't think I have my replay saved but if I do I'll post it. I'm a wheel user and that weird hairpin is also wrecking my right thumb!
Something does need to change but Iām not sure changing the races daily is the correct. The issue I have with this is some days I can play for a good 2/3 hours but then some days I can only do an hour. If the races swapped daily Id probs find I play less as I like to be at least competitive and that practice time enables me to improve. I just have the vision that I will be slow and at the back nearly every race. I think swapping the races every 3 days would be better. I think that enough time for people to practice a bit, race and still be competitive.
Definitely better for improving. I agree with that. Real races have practice days and qualifying so I can see the advantages to keeping it a few days.
2008 9-3 Wagon, 2T (big turbo). You have the bigger motor that holds a ton of power easily. I have had it 11 years, my son is 10 and hoping to give it to him when he can drive. I just bought a 997.2 as a toy car so get my grins from that.
The chasing down over several laps and looking for a chance to pass was fun and
In the leagues Iāve done in iRacing, most go by āif you donāt have overlap(close to half a cars worth), before the lead car starts his turn in(turns his wheels), you have no right to attempt a passā, even if he is taking a wider line, and it looks like there is an opening. That narrower line, will just intersect with the lead cars late line, on the apex or exit, causing issues.
That is not an elementary rule, and in that case i should be understood if i decide to do the same to each person that has did way worse to me if i go by your understanding response, also since you decided to speak that, do you practice what you are preaching to me in every race, every situation? Everyone else that has spoken has had very good input but i find your response very double edged and aggy
WHat pace are you lapping at? Established A drivers, so mid pack A, are doing low to mid 4's, you sound like you are not tooooo far off of that.
Average is about mid-high 2.05ās. My best lap was 2.05.1 in this race.
In F1 it's get alongside in the braking zone and beat the other car to the apex (while still being able to make the corner) to have corner rights. In GT7 it's: When overtaking, you may have to give up on the optimal braking scenario we learned about previously. Even if your driving line goes wide at the corner exit and you are not able to accelerate under optimal conditions, it can still be worthwhile prioritising getting in front of your opponent when braking.
Thank you sir, i appreciate that insight, and you are right as well, i have been racing pretty decent today but i go for the S rating & try for clean races with sportsmanship more than the dr to be honest, i think that gets & gives more respect on the track & off more than the dr, but i could be wrongIn F1 it's get alongside in the braking zone and beat the other car to the apex (while still being able to make the corner) to have corner rights.

It depends on the car, some cars have very different braking distances. Some cars you can easily out brake and be alongside or even ahead before turn in, others don't even attempt if you're already alongside before the braking zone.
I race from the back myself and stick to not attempting to out brake if my nose is still behind the other car before the braking zone. I'll position my car a bit to the inside when I'm close, not to be caught out by an early braker. If they brake very early, then it will happen naturally. Yet better then when I stay behind and accidentally punt them off. I always use my earlier braking point in those situations, as in make sure I can slow down enough to leave the apex clear for the other car.
And of course switch it up, keep them guessing. Often just positioning my car on the inside is enough to make the other driver brake a bit later and take a sub optimal line through the corner. Then I have a clear corner to get a better corner exit and pass them after the corner. Even better when they're defending the inside, poition on the outside but brake early for slow in fast out. You are already on the better line, better corner exit is guaranteed. However out braking on the outside also works (depending on the corner) and feels better to pull off than the standard inside move.
Yet when I don't feel I have the corner, that is not fully alongside at turn in, I'll do my best to back out, that is brake more and steer as much to the inside as possible without losing control. That's where things can still go wrong when the outside driver dives to the apex like you don't exist. Yes, you have corner rights, but I can't magically make my car disappear.
It certainly was in GT Sport
