Yeah absolutely. You have to draw the line somewhere. Anything over 3 or 4 hours in one day is pushing it afaic. And that likely shouldn't be an every day situation either.
I just got a good slide into turn 1. More often than not, I couldn't pull that off. You can use 3rd to help rotate the car for the corner, but it can be unpredictable, at least for me. It's more stable to keep it in 4th. The only time you really need to be in 3rd is for the first few corners of sector 2.@Dolph Drago I didn't realize the 300 SL was 20M, I should have been more conservative of my money, I had 22M a year ago and I spent most of it on tuning and buying a bunch of cars/ and constant oil changes and car washes. So I'll just have to rent it.
I watched your replay, superb time,
How'd you do that first turn, and you didn't need to shift down to third gear? Ok, I see you stayed in third for T2-T4, and then you went back up to 4th. I'm trying to study and pay attention to see how much I can get the wheels offtrack without getting a penalty.
I see where you lost time on that last turn, but I will use your replay as I guide, I trust your judgements with using MT, I gotta learn from somewhere. Sometimes it's hard for me to judge what speed limit I can handle during each section of the track.
It's difficult to judge for pretty much everyone how much to slow down and what angle and speed is necessary for a good exit without sliding off. I clearly misjudged by getting on the gas a tad too soon and missed the inside curbs by a few feet which consequently sent me wide. At least a tenth lost, probably more.
For the last corner, what worked for me was braking at about 50% at the 200 board just to break the rear loose...then let the car coast a bit and play with both the throttle and the brakes to keep the car's balance in check (I'm talking about 5-10% input on both, you can check my replay). As you approach the apex, keep majority of your focus at the exit, once you line up your car, the apex, and the exit, full throttle out.The last turn is what it is. A giant pain in the butt.
About how fast are you at corner exit in MPH?
That's my brother's time. I'm 9th on your board.View attachment 1370676
Note that @ScottPuss20 is at 1:34.051 and I don't want to join him in this scary area... 🛸👽 ...
As some "friends" would say, I hope it will hold till the end...
Oups, sorry for the confusion (too many McDonald around ^^)
@Evilmuffin tricked you like the rest of us, he is from outer space 👽 and mothership picked kph for him 😁I've been meaning to ask for quite some time. I know you're American, so why the KPH?
Na, that's because all aliens use SI as the rest of the universe 😁 USA and UK are outliers
For me it's better when watching my own speeds or comparing speeds in replays as the scale is slightly longer. (I'm from the UK and use KPH also)
I'm also from the UK and also use kph... but my excuse is I'm from New Zealand, so mph is foreign to me!
Thanks ☺️ my 2nd split was a 1:02.636.
Yes ABS is on default.
Who knew? It's sorta become my thing. It started with the roadster at the Valley I think and has continued... I used to rip in GR1 and big downforce but these days I seem to do best with just enough power to be fun and that have good balance. That's the key. Cars that don't snap. You can just keep adding speed and it's much easier to find the limits I feel. I'm pretty fair at carrying a power on slide as well. That helps.that's how we roll with them big boys
Nice, we have another slidy roadcar fan in the house
Great time mate!
