One day I might do that race just for fun.. Hugh could you share your setup when round finishes so I can try to beat your time one day when temperatures drops little bit..
I just dropped the brake balance to 2 and 3 and moved the top speed slider to 124mph.
I enjoyed the kart it is very twitchy but you can get the power down nice and nearly on the corners you need to brake for.
Could probably drop another 3-5s given a totally clear run and pushing to limit on the tricky corners

France's Hottest Hatch Burns Through London!

London_1.jpg


Back to London Reverse. How nostalgic, as my second Challenge Hub participation was here. Not one of my favorite tracks, but I'll give it my all.

Turn 1: Brake just before the 50m board and try to get through in third gear. You may need second gear briefly to get the nose in, but make sure to shift back to third on exit, as the Mégane's second gear tops out at just 80 km/h.

Turns 2 and 3: Brake on the 50m board for turn 2, and turn in sharply to attack that inside kerb with everything you've got. On the next short straight, watch the right-hand wall. When it starts opening up to the right and you see concrete on that side of the road, brake to second gear. Again, attack the kerbs aggressively in this section to gain as much time as possible.

Turn 4: Flat-out on third gear. Be careful not to turn in too early as it's very easy to hit the inside wall here and ruin your lap. With a good line, you don't need to lift off here at all.

Turn 5: The toughest corner on the track, a blind left-hander that tightens on exit. Brake as late as you dare down to third gear at around 100 km/h, and keep your throttle input under control. Get too eager with the throttle and you'll hit the outside wall on exit, which is usually enough to invalidate your lap, and even if it doesn't, you'll lose so much time that the lap might as well be red. A good line and controlled throttle inputs are key to getting through here in one piece.

Turns 6 and 7: I predict a lot of people will screw up here. You need a pretty much perfect line through here, but this section can be done flat-out in fourth gear. If you're even a little off the right line, you'll probably need to lift off the throttle for a bit to get through without hitting a wall. This section, much like Turn 5, makes or breaks your run.

Turns 8 and 9: Turn 8 is a flat-out kink, and then Turn 9 is a very tight left-hander. Brake somewhere between the 100m and 50m boards, down to second gear at around 60 km/h. Attack the kerb as hard as you can and keep the tightest line possible through the apex, then accelerate hard towards the finish line.

I did just over 20 laps, and got a best time of 59.749. While sub-1 minute may seem quite fast, I feel there is still time to be gained here.

ps good read @CozmicDragon.. I'd comment but I honestly dont know my braking points and stuff like that, I mostly just turn and change gears when I feel like it lol.. I just know I didn't do flatout on place you wrote and I was very slow on last corner and with me being rusty, I expect more than a second faster times than mine..

One reason I am so slow is because I use automatic, just thought you guys would have a laugh at me being a noob

Don't take a bet on that mate , Boogeyman ( @RMan72 ) always are on AT gearing .
On the other hand of course he has " magic" fingers :lol: .
I also use AT except very rare situations and since you talk about noobs i use Only buttons for everything !!!!!
Thats why my inside view vids are suck cause i correct all the time with the buttons my steering plus the throttle is mostly On Of situation on my pad.

Goodwood entry

I can say that here comes the difficult part at Goodwood.
This one wasn't gold !!! So after that i i to Gia as a gift :dopey:
And judging from Boogeyman's record didn't bother much with that either so am expecting enough improvement from him.

@Failmaster21 it might be difficult to have the room and space to set a wheel but definitely is better ( and more tired to use ) than pad in many cases .

PS
Faq ..... I forgot again to move the cursor to the right spot .
Ok Bryce ,you can laugh again i don't blame you this time

At least i have another one

As the numbers reflect.
(5:21.989)
You still need to win against another field to get the title, this challenge isn't about how fast we are just winning the race. 👍
