You can find others including one from mistersafeway here.

I like this one from jwill.

I raised the fg to get an indicated top speed of 258mph.

Here's a copy of the earlier 1:01.8xx lap. Sorry about the quality but all I have to use is my phone.

That's a fantastic lap! I assume you use a steering wheel? I don't know anybody that uses a controller that could get a lap that clean.

I'll have to try out some of the tunes. I've been using it stock. The only thing I ever changed was the steering sensitivity and the Tranmission top speed.

 

[Oshawa-Joe]

Safeway can go quicker than that using a controller but I think he has also switched to a wheel. Try out the set up, it's awesome. Believe in it and just practice with that set up.

Yeah

I'm not gonna try and whoop yas all (Like that'd happen anyway) But I do love this car. Especially for the endurance races. I got a 5 minute time on the 'ring once That was a proud minute for me ......Until I smashed into the wall.....

Everyone also post if you are running with wheel or DS3. That makes a major difference, especially with this car.

Yes, I was going to suggest that

 

[Oshawa-Joe]

I agree. Practiced DS3 users have an advantage in how quickly they can go from lock to lock and quickly throw the car around.

But a disadvantage in throttle and brake control, and we can't be as precise in cornering

 

[Oshawa-Joe]

With the x1 it's either 100% on or off in regards to throttle and brake. Steering accuracy and smoothness needs to be developed.

I agree with this. Going into a corner, my finger is off the throttle, and coming out of it, it's 'floored'. Right now I'm just having trouble finding a line through. I'm either finding the steering too touchy when I enter a corner, or too hard. Regardless of the speed.

Guess I just need practice

 

[ElementRacer]

Haniball, I use a DS3.

anyone got any good guides to beat RB Challenge? I'm sitting at 2:11.xxx

 

[Oshawa-Joe]

Most corners can be taken at 100%,. In other corners, the quicker you can go from 100% to 0, and back to 100%, the quicker the lap will be. Brakes rarely require more than a quick 100% jab.

Probably easier with controller but infinitely more fun with a wheel.

 

[ElementRacer]

Is it true that you can go fastwr without abs? Its not easy to do no abs on a DS3 even when i use L2 R2

 

[Oshawa-Joe]

I don't use abs and safeway never used it with the ds3. However, I think it helps with the Vettel challenge at Suzuka. I had to put it on 5 I think to make it around the hairpin quicker.

 

[ElementRacer]

My settings are on stock, with ABS on 5 and brakes at 7 / 7

 

[ElementRacer]

My main problem is the last chicane, if i brake where everyone else does, I carry way to much speed into the corner and end up in the green, even with brakea on 10/10

 

[Oshawa-Joe]

Have you tried the setting in the link I posted above and with brake balance on 8/10?

 

[ElementRacer]

Will that let me brake. at the red box and still make the chicane?

 

[Oshawa-Joe]

Red box?

I make the decision to brake at the Suzuka banner before I actually get there. If you decide at it , then you overshoot it probably, but that is where I'm on the brakes.

 

[ElementRacer]

Go to suzuka now, look at the left of the track and look for a red box on the rail. is thay roughly whrere you start braking?

 

[Oshawa-Joe]

There is a marker on the right side just before the banner. I decide to brake there and I'm braking as I'm crossing the shadow from the banner on the track. I think people use different markers depending on their reaction times. I'm older so I probably need to react sooner to do what I need.

 

[ElementRacer]

Hmm ok ill try that when my bobs finish lemans again

 

[Oshawa-Joe]

Why are your Bobs doing lemans again??? Were they bored?

Remote races!

Best and easiest way to get it. Especially if you use the widget to automatically run your races.

First Bob? Put six on share and I'm sure a couple of us will run your bobs for you. Much quicker this way and only takes a few days to get to level 40.

What do you mean first bob?


And yeah, couple of days of doing this, I had my bobs up no problems.

 

[Oshawa-Joe]

Sorry, Element said something about first Bob. He should have 6 up by now. Sounds like we are a friendly bunch in here and will help him get to level 40.

I'll run the widget over night for you. Send FR to oshawa-joe.

 

[ElementRacer]

I have 6 bobs but I has no psn access.
