View attachment 897094

edit.. i loaded like 20 grids.. no luck..
edit2.. lancia delta s4 can do 4:45 if on p1 lol

Good race time there my friend . You are about 4 seconds faster than my race time, and a good race time depends on what grid you get and also the position of the cars around the track to pass them.

 

[smoothbore12]

here you go mate.. almost a clean race, almost got right angle with phone
some. music and also if I put it on public it might go. viral if you catch my drift

Ok , now am really pissed and ill stay like that till weekend .
Ain't gonna talk you for a couple of days

 

[smoothbore12]

Strech up & down

This was an easy field and at my first try the damn blue barrier caught me on 4th lap


After that i run twice a field with the 2 guys in front that @Thematic mentioned above and by mistake i didn't take even a shot while i was on 32s
I was remembering the 30 that i had stop to take the vid and thought that it was slower
Anyway i had a disaster 2nd lap on this one and i think the faster line it better if you can take sleepstreming advantage on big straight starting the first lap , if you don't its useless cause you pass them both on the uphill section or before the esses .
Good part that i can shot consistent laps near 2.06s-2.07s
@nostradavor2 don't even make a comment ,till weekend comes i will " hate " you
Good day guys ....... except him

 

[nostradavor2]

Awesome mate and a bit crazy run taking the outside on first pass.
Abs 0 and TC 0 indicates that you are on wheel ,am i right ?
Wheel or not is platinum for sure ,the fastest on net are about 200 hundreds less .

 

[bjl23]

Yes, it's from a replay I saved on Thursday.

Can you teach me how to do it?

 

[smoothbore12]

Strech up & down update

Aiming to brake 30s but it's not easy ( @nostradavor2 i see you laughing ) since is long track and the blue barrier at Forrest's elbow is waiting for the big hug every time .
I just give more length on gear box and all the uphill section is on limit of 4th gear and mostly to to avoid rear end snaps when i start acceleration right after Cutting curve.
What most needed here is to have " rhythm " and " flow " and is more important than have a blistering lap and skrew the others or make costly mistakes .
Another good part is that i don't even notice the absence of SRF .
Good choice @Thematic ,long one but good .

 

[nostradavor2]

Im not laughing yet.. Im bad at that track.. SPA and this one are probably my worst tracks.. I'll do few time trials if I get the time over a weekend.. What is decent time for 1 fast lap? Also I need to find the setup for the car..

 

[Thematic]

@smoothbore12 I didn't even consider the outside pass at first, but when I got better at turn 1 it started to look like it could be an option. It turned out to be mandatory, the difference for T1 is huge.

I had my tune on first post for this and i don't think that you will have any problems at all at this track .
Deffinetly you will move way under 2.05 per lap which is my mark for a quick lap.
You can also use Praiano tune .
And not forget it , am not going to talk you till tomorrow ,so......

Edit
@Thematic is a bit crazy move but what i notice is that when you brake ,you took the right line immediately !!!!
No way to move without TC on pad even more on ABS 0 !!!!
Well done mate .

 

[nostradavor2]

@smoothbore12 thanks mate.. I'll try when I have time.. is this car on 550 or 600 pp?

I just got absolutely destroyed at table tennis.. 1-4 2-4 0-4 1-4 0-4 in matches and I played really good.. after the match I was really confused and then the dude tells me he was national champion years ago lol
but my ego is still in pain because everyone knows me for my all-around athletic capabilities and I got absolutely killed..

Ohhhh , and you want to feel sympathy for you now ?
Well only this i have to say for your " disaster ".....

PS
You can adjust lower LCD settings and make sure you change oils.
Just realize that due to many Khm on the car i had lost enough horses during the last run trying to brake the 30s barrier .
Also i did a cool 2.04 mid after i restore the power through oil change.
The race is at 600 pp but the car can't go that high.


No tune update

 

[nostradavor2]

I had few laps.. got 2.07.6 best in TT.. so not that great

edit.. also if someone has good tune for Noel's school please share.. I'll need to do few laps TT for that too... My slowest 2 tracks in one round... Only Le Mans + these 2 are my weak spots..

Damn ,i can't hide that all this sound like .....

I have on tune from Noel but didn't test it yet and that's your fault mate since you put me under stress .
When i start it ill let you inform about it since we have enough time.
I think Praiano tune with LCD at 8 - 8 -25 to 30 with gear fixing is good enough ,also you can try mine at post num 6493 which is a bit loose.

54./No tune
Total [5:05.37]

Spoiler: Sectors!

Lap 1. 29.3, 46.7, 26.7
Lap 2. 28.1, 46.6, 26.5
Lap 3. 28.2, 46.7, 26.2

I was a little too consistent here, with two 5:10 back to back, later two 5:09 back to back, and two 5:06 within 15 minutes. But I already am aware that the car can oversteer on lift/light braking, I just can't a: call it whenever b: know how this changes lines c: know all the places where it should apply.
Grazing the outside kerb at Casino feels like it may be useful, but I crashed to the inside barrier at the entry to the tunnel, so I don't even have a sector time to compare. From the replay, where I did this only on lap 3, it looks like the f. tyre indicators go red just the same on both lap two and three.

Answering a question and showing some otherwise cropped stuff:

My setup for the last five years.

Ohh man ,i envy you .
After @nostradavor2 laps i was quite aggressive on chicane and at Mirabeau late braking with the wheels point to the right ,put you on the line almost immediately without even let it roll you can hit the throttle.
Also help me to but BB way in the back .
You're in good way and if you find the right path to pass speedy the chicane you can gain a lot and of course sometimes you gonna stop for a with quick hug with the barriers that will ruin everything .
Oh man i envy you and also feels good that you enjoy it .

 

[nostradavor2]

@Thematic I don't know why I somehow thought you have DFGT too.. Looks great
Regarding the Monaco you can be pretty aggressive all around.. I actually didn't do many attempts but you can see my lines in vid I posted.. I think its the fastest without touching anything, at least I want to believe so lol
And I was driving that after I was driving Grid Autosport so car physics seemed weird but I thought it was because switching between games.

@smoothbore12 I'm struggling to learn this Panorama track, also find this tune little bit snappy and weird under breaking. I finished only 7 laps got it down from 2.12.1 to 2.03.1 but from the point the track goes downhill I really just improvised since I never really drove the track.
Id be happy if someone give me some tips for driving around here, this is my 2.03.1 lap showing all instruments and stuff and it's watchable quality..



Also Babis you are running div1 times....
just saying

edit.. what do you guys think... could some alien go under 2.00?
and also I don't understand why sometimes vids uploaded look ok like these one and some are just trash..

And I was driving that after I was driving Grid Autosport so car physics seemed weird but I thought it was because switching between games.

At least for me it's the lack of seat time with rally cars or maybe even 4WD. But if PDI meant to make the default settings work on varying surfaces (or rather the physics work like that, idk) then it feels quite good anyway.

and also I don't understand why sometimes vids uploaded look ok like these one and some are just trash..

Experimenting with a video camera, I noticed that it wasn't very good with (that) screen and that it was too sensitive to light, like a night time or not proper day track would have probably been better.

 

[smoothbore12]

@nostradavor2 you gain one sec. plus over me in uphill sector .
Can't lift of a little as you do using button for throttle ,as for downhill part there's no tip ,you go as fast as allow you to steer the car in time.
Yes it a bit " snapy" and that for i went on 11 at rear springs and reduce both dambers to 5-4 and please stop whining ...... Only me allowed to do that

You was that close to be caught by the blue barrier .
Anyway ,if you take a fast line up which means 2 sleepstremings i see you near the 20s and by keeping this pace you are able to stop timer between 14s-17s .
With SRF on maybe there is room to be close at 2.00 ( talking about simple humans) but i never test it anyway.

Today i discover a very fast way to learn French language in almost 6 & half minutes time.


After that i totally quite any attempt for today and start talking. " French " for the next couple hours.

[Thematic]

Today on NT (mountain) I got a 2:08.3 as first lap but this pace led to a new situation on lap two, and apparently I can't handle those right now. I was approaching the 2nd place in the fast left after the climb (where there is no immediate barrier on the right, only sand) and should have braked a lot... I didn't and while I got the car out of the sand I didn't feel like going down the hill.

 

[nostradavor2]

one race..

no cutting..

got 2.02.7 on TT with one big mistake.

 

[Thematic]

I ended up trying for a completed race (the only one). 1st lap 2:08.084, second 2:06 but the rest were garbage: 10:50 finish. I need to relax by sliding on Nürburgring.

Always i get 2.07-2.08 first lap and usualy the others are from 2.05- 206 and sometimes a boom at 2.04.
Was trying to reach the two BMW's in front to catch them at start straight .... Well i never make it.
After so many attempts i just try to race it as it goes and while i was on a outstanding 2.03 high on second lap and a dead 2.06 at first one ,what follows is at the vid and i simply quit .
I never did a 2.03 on TT and i thought was my chance to brake the 30 sec.barrier at the end but Lotus didn't agree on that

Something that helps me to be on more steady lapping was that i use the Praiano's gear box as it is which i wasn't use it till today and was on my own settings.
Its tough to keep the momentum , Forrest's elbow barrier and Murray's corner are waiting for you every single lap .
I did so many laps today and yesterday that the Lotus car frame was on orange color when i check to do an oil change .

Edit
Relax on what ?!!!!!
I prefer to eat hot charcoals than this

 

[Thematic]

Forrest's elbow barrier and Murray's corner are waiting for you every single lap

I saw how you do the Forrest's Elbow when you do get it right, nice!
I must do the last turn sort of slowly because I've had maybe one crash with this combo, out of many. I shift down before turn in, too.

Both of these tracks we are racing are actual street tracks.

Subaru S206 NBR CHALLENGE PACKAGE in the European mountains, the old routine settled quick and while I didn't care about results, it was almost time trial pace, so you have a point.
