Some cars just spin out too easily.......

[Klonie Gun]

I think I am cursed or this may be that driving different cars spin-out easily when you try to break out of a sharp turn. What is the solution? Anyone please help!

 

[TingBoy]

i don't get ur ?...could u restate it?

 

[miata13B]

try checking out the tuning section of the forum, you will find a lot of help to tune your cars so they don't do that. Also try controling your acceleration on the turns, don't jam your gas too much.

Tha advice we can give is dependent upon the car you're using. But Miata13B is probably on the mark with his "use less gas" suggestion.

Oops, I forgot to add "spin", next time I'll make sure.

Be a little more specific - what are you driving? How tuned is it? What controller config? What's your driving style?

I find that using the analog sticks is the next best thing to pedals for modulating both gas and brake. I steer with the left one, and gas/brake with the right.

 

[miata13B]

Are you using a rear wheel drive car by any chance, if you are try this, jump into a LanEvo or a GTR, anything AWD. You will probably find that you have a good strengh in this department with you turns since you spin on turns. You'll notice the wheels catch a lot faster when you start to drift.

Do you having driving aids on or off, if off you need to change the amount of power you deliver on a corner exit :curvyrd:

 

[Joey]

if you're driving a Supra or something like it, that'll happen.
if you're driving a WRX with ASM on, practice - you're in trouble.

try going analog (stick gas / steering) if you can't tune the problem out.

 

[Klonie Gun]

I mostly drive MR cars, I think they're the ones that spin out.

 

[miata13B]

ahh, when do you find you spin out the most, if it is exiting the turns, you need to start to counter-steer a little sooner, if it is at the middle of the turn, try letting off the gas and then deliver a little again. If you're spinning out trying to enter the turn, start braking a little earlier and then turn into it. These are just basics and after a while you'll get the feel of the game and tear it up. Remember grasshopper, experience comes over time and skill is created from that experience and look for the signs (GilesGuthrie - love that statement). lol. Sorry being at work for over 8 hours makes you a little looney. Try those steps and like mentioned before, go to the tuning sections and check out the advice given there. I would suggest to make you a better driver faster, try with ASM and TCS both at 0;. It be hard, but teach you fast.

yeah, like he said

countersteer earlier, and go easier on the gas

 

[Garconis]

Use the pressure sensitive feature in your favor!

 

[Klonie Gun]

Thanks, I'll try to control my MR car carefully.

IN the immortal words of Mario Andretti: "It's amazing how many drivers, even at the F1 level think the brakes are for slowing the car down."
Brake earlier, with less pressure on the button, in a straight line.
Control into a turn=higher exit speed.
Also you haven't mentioned your suspension set up. If the Springs are too stiff the car won't "dig in" or pre-load the springs on the outside of the car.
It the rear end is too high the car will also be prone to spinning. And, as stated above it you brake thru the turn start to counter-steer, AND get back on the gas sooner. RR and MR cars tend to swap ends when you "go with your instinct" to let off the gas as the rear starts to come around.

Have a good drive.

Also...do you use a manual or automatic transmission? That's the source of many spinouts because you can't regulate rpms...Everyone spins out with automatic. When using manual downshift into your slide then immediately upshift, bogging down your revs, allowing traction. Once you're exiting the turn down shift again to get your revs back.

 

[PoeticSoul952]

I brake before I get to the Corner then just feather the gas until I feel I can just floor it. That technique works fien for me. Its gotten me through the entire game.

 

[kragbees]

Slow in fast out ... that's the key to ALL racing in games ... and on the road ...

Thats what i do and i just love gunnin the little Lotus Motorsport its fun, btw i also hav developed a way of braking and keepin the revs up nicely, wt i do is hac my Thumb get on the brakes (square) ,and still keep presure on the Gas (X) its improved my lap times very nicely try it man if it can work for ya it will be worth the effort ciao!

"left foot braking" then so to speak

Been using that myself for a fair while
