I am the one who mentionned it look like SRF is used
, not in a negative way though
, not to blame anyone, or to punish, just to ask if it should be mentionned at least for anyone to make things fair.
i have absolutly no problem being beaten by anyone even if SRF is used,
when that happen i try to learn from it and improve.
What happened is i watched the replay of the Garaiya again because something didnt looked ''right'' to me, more like i couldnt see how i can make the car handle as smooth braking so late and accelerating that early, couldnt nail it since its hard to see the line used without driver view.
I was curious how he could shave 1.5 seconds off my time, wich was still at a decent pace i think.
Then at 4:17 on the Garaiya replay, the curve before the Karoussel you enter the curve and keep left with a nice slide turning right, not a lot but just enought, then snap the throttle very early in the curve in 2nd gear, you then just release briefly then punch again with the car keeping its line steady no sign of unbalance.
At this time i was just trying to see how you could do it and may be learn something new, i tested this a lot yesterday, i could somewhat come close 1 time out of 5 but i still had to counter steer and it was visible in the replay, and i cant ''punch'' the throttle like that as early otherwise it start to drift, unless i very quickly counter steer, and the way the power on the ground is spread is very different than on your video.
then i tried the SRF just to see what would be the effect, and the car felt exactly like in your video, i could do the same line and accelerate as early. Even the HSC, i couldnt apply throttle like you did, i had to go slowly.
Theres no problem in using it, but i think its not bad to admit it
if that happened, for me i dont mind, you can keep the time you posted and you can even try to beat the others i will not redo mine, i do it for testing cars and share comments about them.
I thought you may had forgot about it or didnt know about it,
in case you would want to prove it, you can do a live lap with your camera showing the options at ''off'' right before you do your lap, this way it will be visible if the car react the same way with it ''off'', if you can end within 1.5 second of your lap, i will admit i was wrong, wich is okay with me.
either way i am not telling you to prove anything or to remove your time, i just stated that to me SRF seemed used, and asked Jack if he thought it should be posted by the tester if that is used to make things ''fair'' for those that want to compare their time without it.
Didnt wanted to start anything
I still need SolidSnake to accept my FR, and s2k2k3/newdriver2 to accept now that their psn has been updated in the OP.
Dom i can put the RX-8 on share if you want.
