I sure did Clint, but I'm gonna need more than just your settings to grab a good time on this race. But you're going to help me out with that, right?

Damn PAL systems, can't look at your replays either.

 

[Robin2]

i dont envy you one bit here rob, thats one mother****er of a track. im sure nobody but you put their hand up for this one

 

[boombexus]

Mate, you hit the nail right on the head with that one. I did volunteer for this race and Lotus had no problem with obliging me. Before I could even refresh the page she had switched me into that race!

cheers

 

[boombexus]

Clint!

Hey mate, right now I'm doing some free runs. Do I recall correctly that you mentioned that you're running 1'09's in this race?
If so, *WOW*
I'm sitting in the 1'12.1's right now, I know there's time to be had here, it's just going to take me a while I beleive. But hey, we got some time though!


oops, how did you fare in your TORC comp.?

 

[Bollocks#999]

First run was a 12:47.367
sectors and total lap times:
L1 23.331/58.049/1:17.598
L2 20.153/55.148/1:13.960
L3 20.075/54.762/1:13.573
L4 19.879/55.603/1:16.165
L5 19.855/55.426/1:15.509
L6 19.893/56.621/1:30.794 (Pitted)
L7 20.906/56.308/1:15.616
L8 19.548/54.570/1:15.067
L9 20.001/54.848/1:14.821
L10 20.233/55.299/1:14.264

Had some pretty savage traffic on laps 4 & 5
pitted on lap 6 because had passed the 2nd placed R390 at the end of lap 5 (wanted to put some distance between the 2 cars so i wouldnt come out behind it)

Made some setup changes:
Toe was -3/3 now .5/1
Brakes where 12/12 now 18/14

these changes seemed to work pretty well as in the next race i attempted ran straight into the 12's

The 1:09 was set in free run so no tyre wear
hope this helps mate

[boombexus]

Ok Clint, I'm going to have a good go at this one tonight, you have any pointers for me? They would be greatly appreciated.
My biggest issue so far is guaging how far the wheels stick out from the car. I have many a slight wall touch. And then, another thing that throws me for a loop is when I think that I'm not going to make a turn, I find that flooring it will actually get the car to steer more. This goes against every thing that I know!

 

[Bollocks#999]

just watch your braking for the hairpin and the 2 right handers after, even with the TCS on it can get tail happy through here
first right hander im in 3rd gear next one back into second
second gear for the chicane at the bottom of the hill (just dont brake to late!!!!) and "blipping" the throttle as the rears can lock up if your not carefu and put you into the outside wall just make sure that you have finished your downshifting & braking before hand or this is what will happen
cheers mate

 

[boombexus]

Ok, this one is growing on me!!!

My first race attempt yielded me a 12'31.898.

Pitted on lap #5. Encountered some traffic around lap 4. Had a mishap on lap 8 with the Camaro. I was moving to the inside of him and going for the pass when he dedided that it was going to be a good time for him to pit. He swerved from the sever left of the track and cut all the way over to the pit entrance on the right. That bastard. I smashed right into him.

cheers

 

[made in holland]

Pretty impressive laptimes you got there, Boom

 

[boombexus]

Made some settings changes that yielded me some better times. I was running consistent 1'11's in race mode with the occasional 1'10. But I couldn't seem to put it all together for a complete race. Started having some major issues with the AI as I was now catching up to them at some of the worst parts of the track.

[Bollocks#999]

[Talentless]

[Bollocks#999]
