Well I can't believe the bad luck I had earlier 
damn I was so pissed at myself 
flyin I was, I mean flyin 
beating my ghost by .4 easy ! took the middle section sweet as a nut! knew I was on for a blazing T2 got to the T2 ...45.8 I hadn't had under a 46.3 before that! so I'm nervous as hell by now, the lap was clean as a whistle so far ...gets to the penultimate bend lose a bit of time but not much, was an average corner and I was still ahead of my ghost... last bend and whallop!!! I stupidly go all retarded gear up to 4th way too soon and hit the wall on the exit ...ghost zooms by and that was that

I know how you feel. I had the exact same thing yesterday.
I was only 0.1 or 0.2 secs behind my Denso ghost, and was allready thinking about the amazing time i was about to have, when.... WHAM!! Into the wall at the last corner
I was so pissed at myself that i couldn't drive at all after that.
I feel your pain lotus. 
Now I just need a setting that doesnt understeer. I've tried all of the settings posted on here and none have been right for me. They's all understeered at some point, anybody care to tell me how I can fix that?
Second rant, that bloody corner after the hairpin. Damn it pisses me off. I can't get through it properly because a) the car understeers and
b) the shadow on the rumble strps puts me off.
Grrr. It so damn annoying. I'm yet to achieve a sub 47 T2.

Can't help you with the understeer problems .
The corner you mentioned.. I did have a lot of trouble with that corner myself , you just gotta master it , the rumble is quite big so forget the shadow, and the right line in ( dropping to 3rd for entry then quickly back up 4th for apex and exit ) works best for me anyway
@ MIH I already beat my denso time.. was about to smash it to pieces on that lap

Grrr....well the good news is ive got a new best T2 of 47.0 , the bad news is...ive gotten T2's down as low as 46.6 in other laps...but always BLOWN IT!!!!! I just need to get that one sweet lap.....gokents i'll have to try out those settings you posted and see if they can help me at all. But i dont think settings are gonna help me very much at this point. i think i really need to work on a gettin a few turns down better and i should see some improvement. Todays d-day for me tho...i dont think i'll have much time after today to do any racing so whatever i do, its gotta be today!

Alright, this will be the second time I ask for help.
Understeer. When usually coming out of a corner. But most of the time is occurs on the front straight, after the start/finish line as you curve to the left. I either have to brake a teeny bit or back of the accelerator. I think that is where I'm loosing time. People are lapping 21.1 T1's and I'm running 22.2 most of the time. Can anybody tell me if and how I can fix this problem?
Spinning. Usually coming off of the apex's. The car bottoms out and spins. Most common on the turn after the hairpin and the last turn onto the main straight.
I've tried MaxE's, RER's and GoKents' settings but find them massive understeerers. Maybe its just my driving style.
Anybody willing to help or are you just going to ignore this post like the last one I posted?

i'm sorry man. did'nt mean to offend. the car is'nt understeering, you're just braking too late i believe. i have no idea of your style or anything and as i've stated before, i do not play for money so i'm strictly an amateur 
seriously though, lower the rear downforce and make the front springs considerably softer than the rear, this will increase oversteer. frankly i don't see how this car could be understeering and aside from that, you don't want this car sliding too much because it recovers from slides very crappily.

YEah I gotz one, When you pass the 100 marker, about 1/2 to 3/4 of the way past it, hit the brakes, slow down through 4th gear and into 3rd you gotta let go. You should pull it hard into the inside at 58mph to 63mph, you should exit by briefly dropping to 2nd gear if you are at 58mph, but accel hard and you should come out real fast.

Let me tell you about that last turn.
This situation is the most aggrevating thing in the world.
Not when you can't do the turn right, but when you did it perfectly on a crappy lap.
You see, I will pull an average lap all the way across.
Then I will pull that final turn perfectly and make a good time out of a crappy lap.
Then it comes time to follow that ghost.
so I will constantly put down a great lap, then it comes time to make that final turn...
Guess what, I make it in an average style and the ghost does it perfectly... hence, I get passed by a rocketship with a serious case of turbo lag.
After a lap of crap racing, that ghost explodes with power and speed, always making me look the fool.
Of course that doesnt happen to me too much now that I am putting down those 46's.
But I gotta say, when you are putting down 46's every time, then you put down a 47 that beats the 46 and you have to catch that perfect turn... Man you get pissed.
But at this point my troubles have ended for the most part simply because I put down that 46.5 and a good second half.
although I will admit, Im going back on my word and I am going to continue working on this race for the next day.
I figure I just might be able to do that perfect second half with a low 46, ending in a perfect race for me.
Of course, I doubt I will have time in between work and homework.
We'll see...
Oh yea, dude worried about understeer...
try the braking thing mentioned earlier or try setting your brake balancer higher in the back than front.
I put a thread in the tuning section about my theory on why this would make a difference.
good luck and remember to brake early.
Hope you can work something out.
And about that 90 degree turn after the double lefts...
I can take that all the way through in third with the settings I use and with a soft rear end, usually you can cut a bit onto the strip making an even better line.
This was another turn that I found myself doing perfectly on bad laps and making good times...

i suppose now that i've tipped you off to the folly of your impossible claim that your last T2 was done with a ragged out car that you are now driving a fresh one?
Who you like to direct me to where he said he had a ragged car?
