All I needed was one more little tenth to go faster than Max. My best so far is now a 1'10.057. My settings were based on Max's then developed to suit my driving style

I forgot to save my settings after my previous run, and had to work them out all over again
Now all I need to is get 3 more laps like that, successively. Yeah, right

I set my gears using the aftershift formula previous gear into present gear times shift rpm. I'll then do a pattern.
if my torque is 5000 and the hp is 7500 with an 8000 redline i'll probably have the aftershift look like this.
1-2= 5000; 2-3=5750; 3-4= 6250; 4-5= 6500; 6-5= 6625.

To Wastegate :
Thanx for the settings, am now "flirting" w/1'10s, may be able to get there w/more laps. Tried Mr P's settings,(Thanx to him as well) but driving w/wheel could not get out of the 1'12 range. Thanx again...UB57

Well I am slowly getting there. (how many times have I said that now...)
I am getting 1.12's on a good basis now, and 1.11's are not a stranger to this racer any more.
I put down 1.11.6 just a few minutes ago and I garuntee that will continue to come down.
Although it may not be smart, I have taken a break from this race and decided to do an enduro that I havent finished yet.
Im at 98.2 percent complete, so I have gotta take the time to finish the game...
Anyway, back soon with updates...

Made some progress finnaly lapping almost consistantly
pulled a 1'10.xxx during race
That was with a modified Mr.P's settings ..
Almost there with the car just a few more things to sort out and i should be good ..
i just spotted more settings need to check these out aswell
Cheers guys you came through for me again 👍

Well back to my racing
i got a 1'11.. i no i can go better but i need to get better settings.
its annoying doin the actual race because of the fact that it is a stand still start. i get like 1'18 off the first lap!!!
any advice for stand stills?
also. if you car is becoming high in milage then go to trade and buy the same car off yourself. that way you get the exact same car with the same settings and components but the milage is put back to 0.

Ok got a save total bob though...
Started in 1st full revs - 1'18.5 lap 1 and a 1'12.2 fastest lap
Using Momo again here and I have to say without the force feedback on, it feels nice and smooth here like it did at Rome ... nice and quiet too
BTW using Rons set up...can't be arsed messing with setup's for this car it's a piece of **** and no set up could change my mind
Cool with SS R5 though

This car is a heavy piece of work, especially after the Vertigo. Drove 2 or 3 test laps, haven't had the time for some more laps yet.
Will probably have some more time this weekend.

I find it hard to believe that I am keeping up with lotus.
Don't get me wrong, I have some confidence, but I surely didn't think I would be putting down times similar to pros on that level.
Actually, as I have already mentioned...
My best arcade lap was a lap 2 with a 1.12.002
That was a good lap set but I got a 1.13 on the lap after it.
I also am with lotus on the opinion of this car.
Although I can tell it has vast potential, I just plain dont like it.
In fact, its one of the few 4wd cars in my garage.
However, as I said earlier, I am doing this race for learning value and not the fun of it.
I truely believe that those willing to put up with this race and work at it will be better racers when it is over.
I gotta say though, there are gonna be some major suprises when it comes time to turn in results.
Competing with the AI will always make for upsets and screwy times...

I don't have the viper in my line up, maybe you should try another. I do take the first bend wide though, it's the best way to take it.
Managed in my race attempts to get a 1'17.9 lap 1, it's probably miles off the pace of some of the other pro's though ... best lap still crap 1'12.0 This week will definately be a bad week for me, but I go with what GoKents said...
"Im racing it because I dont believe in skipping out on races I wouldn't do well in. "
That's the right idea Kent 👍 you gotta take the rough with the smooth, it's not all plain sailing!
Oh and I'm using the Yellow one . Back to it.....

when i have a line up of GT1 R390 GT40 Vertigo viper
At the start i jump over to the right hand side of the track and stay there
Just as im entering tunnel im just passing the R390 to take 2nd place ( it's a bit tight though but can easily squeeze through)
Then i dab the brakes causing the car to go into a slide then i pass the Viper to take first place
Then it;s open road before i exit the tunnel

Well, maanged a 1'11.522 as my best free run lap. I see exactly where I am not going full speed at, but driving this car on the edge is tough. I feel like I'm in some metal Boat instead of a race car. Well, time to start racing the arcade. The Joy the Joy the Joy

Thanks to Mr P's setup this car drives like a dream and im now down into the low 1'11's, and even pulled off a 1'10.9 in free run. I actually like this car and this is a pretty good track for it too. The key to keeping this car from gettin all bugged out is to try not to lock up the brakes going into turns. Brake lighter and a little earlier than you normally would and try not to turn under full braking either, then you should be able to take a smooth line through most of the turns. Modulating the throttle through some of the longer turns is pretty important too. Im racing more of a grip technique on most of the track although on a few turns i take more of a drift approach. especially that triple threat of turns right after the t2 sector, you just gotta slide in as close as you can to the first apex and try not to brake until the last right hand turn to throw the weight of the car into a position to allow you to take the turn well. least thats the way im doin it. Im enjoyin this one a lot more than the Vertigo race, although it did open my eyes up to the potential of that car (since that was the first time ive ever seriously used it. I'd like to recite a quote I just read in my friends profile which couldnt be more true "If you feel in control you're not going fast enough"- Mario Andretti

tis run was pissing me off last night. i just did'nt have it in the first turn at all. finally got some wheel time and did manage a best 1'16.2 1st lap and a 1'09.988 race lap. i know this is relatively fast and i have absolutely no reason to be biching but she's just not feeling right. changed the setup completely, more or less based on a setup that Mr. P and i used while we were running as the gravediggers at the GTDS2. still works pretty goddamned good ron. you might want to give it a whack.

Well I put down a 1.11.4?? (free lap)
and most importantly, I put down an arcade first lap of 1.18. 2??
Even more important was that the lap after on the same race was a 1.11.9??
Although after that it was back the 1.13's
However, it shows that I am getting there.
My problem now is that I have to work tonight, tomorrow and sunday leaving me very little time to race.
Oh well, Im still getting there...
btw, for my free run of 1.11.4 I used a set up similar to P's.
Thanks for posting that up there Mr. P.
----------------------------------------------
Well now I am suprised and confused.
My set up is similar to mr.p only I have different camber, down force, rear springs, transmission and brake balance...
Well maybe that just means we have a couple of things in common like our toe and front springs, ride hieght and shocks.
However, this is the odd thing...
When I didnt save the "mr.p settings" and went back to playing, I used my original settings.
Then I put down a few 1.11's and decided it was time to do some arcade.
This is the shocker...
I put down my best lap in arcade which was also my best lap anywhere.
A 1.11.404
Even better is that the same arcade race had another "good" time.
So I might be able to pull a mid pack time this race, contrary to my earlier beliefs of a full on bringing up the rear time.
Oddly though, I am gonna stick with my set up and not anyone elses.
This is great too because it shows me that I have set up my car properly and most importantly, it shows I can do it on my own.
Talk to you guys a little later with some more updates...
------------------------------------------
Damn! just after I walk away from this board and finish editing my post, I get another time worthy of mentioning.
A new first lap record of 1.17.7 and that is all I will say.
But I can tell you this much, unless I can start pulling down my second and third lap times, I will be turning in the race I just did as my time for the week.
Of course, I also have luck that tends to keep my progress going only when I make statments like that one... so we will se what happens...
-----------------------
Ok I promise this will be the last thing... plus I have got to leave for work in about 10 minutes... but.
I just put down a best lap for any run in an arcade race.
I just did a 1.11.264 in arcade.
Also what is so encouraging about this is that I am consistantly putting down 1.11's now.
And even better is the fact that they all feel sloppy, including that 1.11.2 I just mentioned.
Now I have decided that I am going to be going for a 1.10 of sorts and that will not be in free run... but in arcade.
I will let you guys know how it goes, but with the way I am feeling now, I can say confidently that its gonna happen.
Luckily for people that might not like hearing me say that, work is gonna take it out of me and chances are that I will not be making any more good races today.
For sure though, this is my last post for the day, or atleast until tonight after work.
cya then.

Well I gave wastegates settings a go this afternoon and they allowed me to pull off real real low 1'11's w/ ease, occasionally flirting w/ the high 1'10's. I started to tweak the settings from there a little bit cuz im gettin tired of moochin off of other peoples settings....hehe. I think w/ a few more hours of testing and tweaking i might have somthing i could be proud of....and away i go!

dope...i feel slow
my best is a 1.11.702 in Arcade dont like that "gear Trick" it seems that my car goes slower.
It could just be my driving but who knows. I got used to my gearing arrangement first so i couldnt' get used to shifting down to 3rd instead of shifting up into 4th......
3 Lappers really irritate me so i could not string together an "extremely" good time.....
I may beat Miles....but who knows
O rite...im dun racing for this one and sent in my quite slow total
Good luck all
and GO Kents!!!!!
Your beatin some pros...so keep it up
