I'm not an expert, but I thinks it's actually the opposed. As far as I know budget wheel (like my G29) needs lower values, more pro-wheels can accept higher values.
Personally I’ve no big issues navigating it even though it’s kinda awkward. The problem, and I saw that coming before I even tried the race, is that way too many struggle going through there without contact. It’s very tight, it’s downhill (you have to break earlier than many think), the Mono also has kinda weak brakes. Add all that together.
I kinda see that, but there's a bit of luck involved in real life racing also.
I was tuning in a lot of rake for a while, but too much is counterproductive because it seems to contribute to the back end lifting and skidding. The DMC-12 is one of the cars I had to rake to be competitive. I engine swapped it, tuned it, and can win 800 PP events with it. Most of the others that I had raked I wound up leveling out again, but not flat. There's roughly 1cm of rake still.Who knows, honestly.
I'm also in the maximum rake/no front downforce club, and I just got my best lap of 2:11.4...low 2:11 possible with this current setup, I need to figure something out with the suspension. I'm also running merely the height-adjustable one, because I'm on the limit with PP
Most of my tunes suffer when I try that much rake.
My first time leading was at Le Mans in the Group 1 race. I was sitting on the pole, lost control in the Dunlop chicane, and dropped out.
Sure, but like luck in IRL racing is down to "did my thing break", "did I get an opening to pass because the guy ahead made a mistake", "did I catch a caution at the right time for a free pit stop".
As far as I can tell, clipping is a product of force feedback exceeding the abilities of the wheel, so lower the setting to where you are comfortable and get decent feedback. Sensitivity, I think, are a how responsive the wheel is to your input. I’ve never quite understood it, but your point about the curb has got me thinking now. I’ve always had sensitivity at 10 because I want more responsiveness, but now I’m wondering if it’s too sensitive and responds to every little twitch I make, and that’s why I can’t do the chicane at NGO the past couple of weeks.
You could drive race A. Honestly, it's a hoot!
I usually run at 2/2, believe it or not. My arms were just getting too tired fighting the wheel at higher settings. It feels really strange at first, but then it's fine. I used 2 or 3 on both my old G29 and my new Logitech Pro.
I think getting hired by a team with a particular car involves a bit of luck. Having a chance to buy certain cars involves luck in real life, too, let alone a car with an engine you'd never expect it to have.
Totally agree, I raced the hell out of that Miata on that combo. Lets say the same cars equalized via the BOP on Sports Hards or Confort Softs with a higher tire wear that makes you pit once it would have been so much better.
Similar for me, of course on a much lower level. Just fallen out of the Top 100 in race A, 1.500 in race B with the Alfa (tomorrow I'll attack the 1.000 with the WRX), and also just been pushed out the Top 100 in race C.
Sounds like you’re having the same problem as me at that chicane. As soon as the car makes contact with the ground again when you bounce over the chicane the rear just snaps and goes round on you. Lowering the torque for me made a big difference. I wonder if I was adding too much steering inputs to counter act the excessive FFB for my wheel.
The problem with T1 is that your braking point depends on your starting position, so it is hard to judge and easy to miss. I have to confess to overshooting and crashing into someone else a couple of times.
I always judge it based on the cars in front of me. I slow enough to give them room to brake, without me running into them. Once I see what's what, I can accelerate if I need to. Sometimes the people behind me get a little stinky, but they're not sure how much to brake either, and they see me slowing down so they usually do too. I rarely have any issues staying in front of them (in 11 races this week, so it's still a small sample size).
the yellow pick-up on the left at the top of the hill at turn 6-7 always gives me a scare.. 🤣 🤣Finally got a win at Deep Forest.

I started P2, and I appreciate P1 tanking it on the first turn. Also, the people behind me were more intent on messing with each other than catching me, which they certainly could have because my time wasn't that great. With all that said, a victory is sweet no matter how it was delivered.
One of the helicopters scared the **** out of me, though. It happens every once in a while when I least expect it.

Sort of like hitting the turbo boost, giving me a shot of adrenaline.
