@bjl23 - I'm ok so far, thank for kind thinking
@nostradavor2 - you talk too much without to know, you must respect everyone, dead or alive, young or old, … if you are so confident you can come here and help us...

And just to be clear, I never disrespected anyone. I was telling facts. I had nasty flu with pneumonia last year and the guy I got it from almost died. Im sure it was worse virus than corona so closing everything down will do much greater damage than virus itself. Also creating a histeria is not good direction to go. If I was wrong with something you could tell me what hurted you. If virus is "disrespectful* to certain groups of people doesn't mean I am. Its just pure logic that is not that dangerous. For older and already sick. people any additional ilnes is horrible. Id be more worried about migrants, economics etc than corona. But will jot talk about this anymore so you don't tell I talk too much. Sorry again. I wish all the best to Italy and to everyone else. Ciao Luciano
 
Now back to racing. An old rule has it that you should brake only when you are traveling in a straight line. It is a rule that is still valid today, even if it is not as inflexible as it once was. The reason braking should take place, for the most part, in a straight line is the transfer of weight within the car when braking, cornering and accelerating. When a race car beginning to decelerate, there is a weight shift from rear to front. If we assume an initial weight distribution of 40 per cent at the front and 60 per cent at the rear, it may change to 75 per cent at the front and 25 per cent at the rear. This weight transfer (35 per cent) is very useful at it gives extra grip to the front wheels which are under more stress while braking. If this happens on a the straight, there is no problem, but on the bend this force will apply at an angle to the car's direction of travel.
 
  1. Find the optimal driving line. The fastest line around the track in the wet is often very different to the dry racing line. ...
  2. Steer positively. ...
  3. Use the throttle to help turn the car. ...
  4. Avoid wheelspin. ...
  5. Brake 'off the rubber' ...
  6. Use the kerbs. ...
  7. Be patient.Common driving wisdom holds that you get more traction during a turn when you are accelerating. For many drivers, it's standard practice to decelerate before entering a turn, then accelerate once they are half way through (Past The Apex) and not before! You will have a greater chance to spin out if you do it before you pass the Apex.
  8. As always, the corner preceding the next long straight is the most important – any extra exit speed here is carried down the straight and makes for a faster lap. When thinking about racing line, we need to work backwards from the final corner in the sequence before the straight.

@Racin510s "Barnabas" is in "P 1" at the moment so what about the rest of you cowards:lol:!!

Is that so ?
Happy to know that Barnavas is on the " road" again but as for the P1 i have an objection .:cheers:
Just uploading my vid and i guess in couple of hours will be ready.
I did it today ,not crazy stuff since the car is not to my liking at least under rain conditions.
I can't say that i enjoy it like i did with the Ferrari at la sarthe ,but we can't have it all.

Hope God keep us all well since that virus crisis is hit very hard all the European countries.
Today here they close all restaurants, coffee shops and shop centers.
Before that was schools ,cinemas , theaters , clubs etc.
Barnavas welcome back :)
 
No results just yet.
I had a go at the "city state rally" but the grid was plain wrong. After a few tries, the one race where I finished 1st was still 4 seconds slower than last week. I watched that replay and indeed I had drafts on pretty much all the straights until coming past the pit entry on lap 2, which means I had the right idea as to why.
GT 5 & 6 do really well with wheels, among other things since you can still use the menus with even a keyboard or something. All the other wheel supporting games on PS3 I tried, including WRC 4, just make a mess. In this well remembered case, if you activate a DS3 while the game is using the wheel, the game will just discard the wheel completely. That is, I could understand using only one wired controller at a time, but wireless and wheel not working simultaneously is pla(y)in(g) weird.
The force feedback here is almost in name only. There are no effects and no centering force either. So there's only resistance, which is certainly better than no force at all, though I haven't figured out if I should use a high or low setting.
There's some challenge in it. Some. After winning the WRC Junior Rally Espana I put the AI speed to 9/10 and basically why I didn't put it to ten is that I don't expect to play this very much. But at least I won't win right away.
I have not tried the hand brake function at all: I know the switches on the wheel aren't rugged, if I start tapping them while turning the wheel they are targeted for termination.
A positive here is that it remains to be seen whether I'll just learn the tracks. There's at least 11 locations, but each doesn't seem to be very large, I drive the same corners across many special stages. I mean I'll learn them or learn to interpret the codriving more efficiently. Each crash means a low rank for that stage and I certainly have full damage on.

Yes that said the wrong title at first. It's really WRC 4.
