Does anyone actualy use the 7th gear for the S2000? I set my gear ratios so as to get max speed out of 6th gear, as all the tracks online don't have long enough straightaways to utilise 7th gear.
ok mate,whas under impression you didn't see it
maybe this will give you an answer then...
it all depends on the track,as you can see very clearly in formula1,they adjust the gears to every single track they go to to get the max out of the engine and the car.
but,a formula1 car changes gears in a milli second so there will never be any time lost during a gear change,this meens 2 things...
1:you can allways find the right ratio for every corner,perfect gear into corner and perfect rear(ratio)out of corner....
2:as we drive "normal" cars in gtp we have limited gear change ratio...what i meen is that if you whant your perfect gear ratio out of a slow corner,lets say 2nd gear out of a hairpin,you would initially want to make the gears as short as possible to accelarate as fast as possible out of that corner....but as "normal"(also tuned ones) cars just dont have the grip to have such agressive power on the wheels and they would spinn out of controll immedeately,you have to make some compromises....
for every car there is a perfect setting on every track..if that meens you dont have to use all the gears,than thats it...you dont...
see it like this,the fact that the amuse s2000 has 7 gears,is just to give it lots of different possible gear ratios on whatever track you are on(short with haipins without long straights/or tracks like monza where you whant your car to have accelaration smooth thru out the whole track)
so the fact the car has 7gears,doens't meen you have to use them to get the fastest lap out of that particiullar car on that particiullar track.....👍
spyrrari.
Exactly my point. When we had the F1 Daytona Speedway, I was winning races without having to change up to 7th gear, because I had the gearbox configured in such a way that I was hitting 220 mph in sixth without drafting, whereas a lot of people could just manage 220 mph in 7th. I used the 7th gear for drafting purposes only.
They are not, they are different, hence the different word. A chicane is an offset of a straight piece of track, specifically meant to slow you down (e.g. after a straight or to prevent unsafe situations). Example: Daytona Road. Esses are sequences of regular turns (e.g. turns linked together). Example: Suzuka. They are most definitely not the same.
Doesn't matter how many gears a car has, I always set up so that at the fastest point on the course I'm a couple hundred RPM away from redline in top gear.
