What could I do to improve my time

[Ed_Night]

Thank you very much. What else do I need to do to lower my time and what do you think the car current setup best time could be.

I was using your exact settings for the lap in my video, so the limit should be around
1:37,000.

All you can do is practice, always have a eye on your ghost so you can see turn
by turn where you can gain time on it.

I hate to ask, but are we running with SRF on or off?

 

[Ed_Night]

I was running ABS: 1 only.

I only had ABS on 1 everything else was off

I haven't found my wheel yet so this is on the gamepad. Is the line any better?

Great improvement, I would try and aim more to the right for turn 2 to open up turn 3 and carry more speed through there. Noticed in quite a few corners, you are getting tyres quite red so best to try and avoid doing that and instead maintain more traction.

If my GT6 ever finishes updating*, I'm tempted to give it a run myself and see what I can manage. I tend to be 2-3 seconds a minute off alien times, so at least I'll be able to give you a rough benchmark of what's possible.

But that's not real helpful, because neither you or I are aliens. The goal should always be to just improve a bit on what your current best is. I find comparing myself to aliens is just depressing, I could technically get there but I've got to do it one little step at a time. I like to aim for improving by about 0.3 seconds a session. You can always find another 0.3, and you can't usually find it by being lucky, you've got to drive better. A bunch of those little improvements adds up, and eventually you'll find that a trick that you learned in one corner can be used in others as well.

So I'll get back to you on a time and further improvements once I've refamiliarised myself with the track. But I think you'll find even more time in your next couple of practise sessions. Just getting used to the new line, refining your braking points, and becoming more comfortable with how the car rides with your new style will gain you a bit more. Then I'll see what more I can contribute to helping you go even faster.

*Been updating for the last three hours. Still 30% to go. I know I haven't played in a while, but yeesh.

Who are these aliens you speak off lol

Who are these aliens you speak off lol

In this thread, @Saidur_Ali , @Lewis_Hamilton_ , @Mini Stiggy, @Ed_Night that I know of for sure. There may be others but I'm not aware of their skills. Of course they'll probably deny it as aliens are often a humble lot, but trust me, it's true

I'm no alien, just a mere mortal battling against the aliens to protect the human race.

@Ed_Night is quicker than me

 

[Ed_Night]

Thanks @Mini Stiggy but i would say we are pretty much equal.

Ok so I found my wheel I should be able to have a new vid up within the next two days

Decided to have a go at this. I have to admit, I didn't expect to have fun doing this. I did, and lots of it, frankly.



One thing though, in addition to everything that has been suggested here, you would need finesse on the brakes with your Impreza's current setup. What I've noticed is that the front end is more than willing to turn in once the weight of the car is shifted towards it, like when you brake hard. Then, when the car does turn in at a corner with the right speed, it keeps turning without plowing to the outside. This is useful when entering high-speed turns. You don't need to hit the brakes a lot, just a little bit to adjust your speed when entering a low-speed corner, then let the turn-in and engine braking do the rest. Turns 4 and 8 are good examples. I didn't really smash the brakes all the way, just a bit so that the car would turn in towards the apex while still going fast. All you really need to do is keep the car from sliding so that you won't slow down too much.
