In, Out, and Normal; Let's discuss!

[Speedy Samurai]

I am interested in hearing everyone's opinions concerning the riding styles in TT. Perhaps the real-world drivers could share their thoughts with us.

I have been using the 'normal' style for the whole game and have yet to test out the other styles to compare.

I use a modified 'In' setting mainly because it looks cool and seems to be how the pro's ride.

in real life (on my ducati monster) I usually ride 'out'

I guess you would call it that at least. I tend to keep my upper body straight and lean the bike by itself. Most of the time I am only going 75% of the bikes cornering ability on the street so dragging the knee and hanging off the bike is not necessary

But it kind of depends on the corner, whats infront of me, and whats off to the side of the road if I eat it. On a long back-country sweeper I would stay tucked and lean with the bike (but probably still not drag my knee... I need to get a full set of leathers).

In the game I use 'in' I feel its lets you take corners a little faster and a little tighter.

I would need to do some extensive laps before I could really prove that though... I use it mostly because it looks cooler in replays

You will never be able to recreate a 'real' riding style in a computer game. There is too much to factor in. When I do track days here in Australia not only do I use my body position when cornering, but have the ability to look as far ahead as possible to where I want the bike to be. There are so many things that us riders do when riding that there are not enough buttons on a controller to recreate them.

I do like to get the knee down in hard corners, but to be honest half the time you don't need to. The reason bikers do get the knee down is:

1: Looks and sounds fuggin great!

2: An indicator of how far you leading the bike over in a particular corner.

3: Can help keep the bike stable if you know what your doing.

Having said all that, I think that TT has been long over due that is the best racing game that I've ever played! I just hope that it will encourage others to take up riding and see how much fun we have!

For those of you that do ride and want to improve your style, look at 'Keith Codes" A twist of the wrist. Its a very dated video, but a rider bible of how you should ride.
