No wonder you were pulling away from me last week. Has nothing to do with you being the better driver.
Thanks. I'll actually just buy another car and break it in, then compare lap times. More hp isn't always better.
I'm curious what your Brake Bias was/is at. I'm running 0/10.

On autumn ring 4-2 (which was a mistake on my part.) Deep forest I think I am running 1-3, 1-4 or 2-4. I'd have to look when I got home. I'm pretty sure it's 1-3, but its subject to change once I get a new car broken into the correct hp and have a few laps to tweak it.
The reason why I don't run 0 up front is because under braking, the weight shifts to the front and if you have minimal front brake then you won't stop as cleanly as a 1 up front. Coming down t4 into t5, 1 has a little better braking on the dip and the turning us suitable enough for me.
Edit: I shouldn't be helping you. You're fast enough as it is
But I read something awhile back on these forums about BB and abs1. Whatever tires are losing grip, the abs diverts the the braking to other tires to help with grip loss on braking. So if you have 0-10, and are hard braking while turning, it would be locking your brakes up on the rear, diverting the traction lost to your front tires and causing under steer..
I don't know how true this is, though.
What times are you pulling on deep forest with 0/10?

Haven't ran a lap there yet, probably won't until just before the race.

It sure is a fun little track. I think it's gonna be a lot closer racing than last week. The track had a really good natural flow to it.
Once I do the break in again I should be going a little faster, I've also been shifting at the wrong point. I looked at the graph and I should have been shifting before the redline. Maybe I can get a 1:23.9 now that'd be scary.

Going to try and finish breaking it in. My best lap so far is 1:25:4X.

That's great, just keep it on the track in that last turn and you should do well. BTW, did you want to be in Division A (beginners) or Division 1 (experienced)? Thanks!

Hmm, Racing Hards will probably even it out. I wanna race in beginners for now, Just because i'm fast by myself, doesn't mean my racing performance itself will be good.
On racing softs, with 438 PP I ran an exploding 1:23:40

That 1:25 was a lucky lap too, I was doing consistent 1:26-27 lol
EDIT: I think its broken in, because now i'm getting 1:25 consistently
Hey Turtle, what are the full specs? Not sure whether my car is legal or not lol
Completely stock. Racing hards. It should be 173 hp.

I can't seem to adjust the penalty, slipstream strength or boost in the offline practice mode from my gtlife menu, either when I select the course or in the settings after the course loads.

Change the oil in your car, run 200 miles on it, change oil again and your lap times should improve slightly.
Happy birthday!
I just copied and pasted that from the main page. Boost is to allow other drivers to catch up. Slipstream is for cars in draft. The Penalty system in offline is already set to weak I think. If the timer up top turns red, you've triggered the penalty.
It was mid 80s here today. My wife loves cold weather and snow. I love spring and summer.
