Very impressive 👍
And you make it look so easy it makes me sick
Even more impressive is the fact that you did this lap using two different tire types: RSS and RS.
Care to share with the poor slow bastards why you made that choice?
I thought supersoft was the way to go, in every race, in order to achieve the fastest times.
Guess I was wrong
The Wizard.
Thanks.
The reason why I ran RSS/RS was because I absolutely HATE understeer! I just didn't like how the car was handeling with RSS/RSS. It's really down to ones personal handeling preference. At first I was running with RSS/RSS and was setting almost the same sector times, matter of fact I set my best T1 time on RSS/RSS of 19.395, the best I did before giving that up was a T2 of 37.190ish and a 57.225ish as well. I was able to do a T2 of 37.167 with the RSS/RS. I still managed about the same T time's, the only exception was my final T3, my speed out of T2 played a huge part in that, I got a great launch out of the lefty. That was simply the best I had gotten through there the whole time when on a good lap. I was always leaving something behind T3 or getting a little too much overstreer, sliding the rearend some and loosing time from that on the exit of the kink.
The only downside to running RSS/RS was that you lost some acceleration grip out of corners, easier to spin your tires, braking while turning could lead to disaster "I lost it quite a few times going into the kink" turning and braking entering caught me out a few times
If you got the car sideways you were pretty much in for one nasty spin, wreck, or a huge slide which lost you lots of time. The kink before T3 was where I really felt that loss in grip the most. I was loosing time coming out of some corners compared to my RSS/RSS ghost, but was able to equal it out by how I was entering corners how I liked.
It just really boils down to how you like a car setup. A person who likes understeer could have have just as well if not better on RSS/RSS since they are the best gripping tires if you like how the car is handleing. For the most part the softest tire's available will result in the best possible times. That will vary depending on how the driver likes their car. Week 1 I ran S3/S3 because the car handeled pretty much how I like. Tried it with S3/S2
it didn't work out at all.
Havent ran the Week 3 combo yet, but i'm pretty sure its going to have to be S3/S3 slowing a 4wd road car down into the hairpins is going to really tax the grip of the rear tires. Less grippy ones will probally swing the rear end right around when braking as hard as you can.
I can't because I'm not PAL.
