My thoughts exactly.
All my .7 T2s are ruined by overshooting the last corner, I find it kinda funny that I've improved only by 0.006 at T2 from my orginal splits.
My PBs tell me I could do a .6 but doing so with a respectable T3 is a bit tough.
Also, the corner which is giving me most trouble so far is the corner after T1, not getting the tires red there is the key for a good sector. And considering that the apex here is very tricky it's easier said than done.
Also, I've tried without AS and there is no way you can do the uphill corner after T1 flat out without it, hence I'm forced to use it (even though I don't like it, takes away precision).

Unfortunatly it won't be the fastest.
I think everybody's been in that 'weeeeeee' fase.

Hey Al:
Big improvement over the last few weeks! Is it the wheel or do you have a burr under the saddle.
It's a Burr! LOL, no idea what is going on, I am just starting to feel the car more I guess.

Sure you want to go down this road?
I like to change it up, and this is just one example of that. I can promise you the tires that would have been on a '66 Cobra are certainly no better than the ones I've put you on, and are in reality probably much worse.
Don't like it, don't participate. But don't come in here complaining about the selection and criticizing it.

- I beg your pardon!
You know it Kevin. Most of us are so used to driving around town and on the freeways at speeds well below the limits of traction our cars and tires offer. Most people have no clue what it would be like if we pushed them to the limits. Try taking that corner down the street at 110mph and see how many of your neighbors fences you take out.
I love this combo because it juxtaposes racing a sports car on tires you get at your local tire store against a true race car on race tires.
Keep up the good work.

I had a look at the PM's sent to the Fetchbot and found your PM's.
You sent: x'xx.xxx
You should have sent: Time: x'xx.xxx
I'll bring it up with the other admin to get it sorted.

That's weird because the last PM seems perfectly in order. Title and body.
Don't worry, it'll get sorted.
Don't do 1'00:000 but 1'00.000

Ah yes, now I see.

mmmmmmk... how do you brake with this car? Traditional ways don't seem to work.I use engine braking for the first corner, just downshift to 1st gear while braking hard. My braking point for that corner is the horisontal line on the asphalt.
I use ABS 10, brake balance 10/6, AS on strong and I use driving line (shows how utterly useless I am on this track
).
