Some input?

[statdev]

Hi guys! I know i dotn post much, however i have been a creeper for a while now :-P

I gotta tell ya, my learning curve is begining to flatten.

I would really like it if i could get some input from you guys on my laps. Im mostly concerned about the Tuned time, which is 1'36.9xx at the moment. Am i trailbraking too much/too little? not setting up for the next corner correctly? misjudging an apex? etc?

Honestly my problem isnt getting whats in my head on the track, its getting the right stuff in my head. Im an autocrosser, a virgin to road courses, but a damn good autocrosser (IMO). I learned driving physics from GT when i was little, so when i turned 15 i had a great start on the autoX course. Although, when competing like this Having all this space and speed is great but my technique seems to be a little off.

I have checked out other replays and noted about .7xx of improvements but im having trouble watching the throttle/brake control, the line, finding where the driver is looking, noting their apex, etc all at the same time.

I love hearing from pros, i try to talk to them as much as possible in real life competition, so here i am in the virtual world humbly asking for some technical advice.

PS if I knock .1xx or more off my time from a tip I will make a WRS account and get another GTP up on the boards :-)

Post your replay or something so that forums gurus know. Or just download a fast ghost and try to follow it.

Good idea :-)

in video 27s, left turn, i would try to take wider line entering the turn to make it smoother. I have not played demo that much but as general racing lines are concerned your line in the corner seemed a bit different.

Well, heres what ive gotta say about that lol I totally agree with you. However, i get as far right as physically possible as i can before entering that turn, that straight is just so damn short there isnt a lot of time to go right without unsettling the car when its time to brake. Ill modify the exit of that last right hander to see if the wider entry will help. Thanks!

You can carry much more speed at that corner though, and a tighter line.

I've watched your video and while there areas in which I would tweak, the easiest way is to see it yourself, watch the fastest laps, see where they differ from yours, lines, braking, gears it alll adds up.

With all that said, you've probably done it all over and over, in which case the only real advice I can give to you is: keep on trying, you will hit periods where you can't even get near your pb and then you will come back to it some time later and beat it within 10 minutes, its just the way it is.
