Damn You guys.... i still can't break into 129. Y'all are to fast for me.
Yeah, I'm pretty old school. D pad and X and Square. I just tried something different, though. I dropped down to 3rd gear, entering turn 2 and went a little faster. I noticed on your replays, you hit the brakes when you enter turn 2. I never have. Try a no-brake entry. See if it works for you. 👍
One more A race and I should be up to SR S. Hope to see you soon.I think that’s enough race c for me for real this time.
Gained almost 2,000 dr with 18 wins.
I’ll try race a, cause I wanted Willow to come back, and an American has to drive the American car.
Yeah, I just missed race A twice in a row. First time because of network error blah blah blah. Second time because I was at brand central buying a new Ferrari.Fourth time I got disconnected while in loading screen/joining for the race B. Anybody else has this problem?
My qualifying time for the NGP Race B had been shrunk down to a 1:56.703 with an optimum of a 1:56.3xx using the R8 on a DS4.
I've had a 57.9 for days in the R8 but I've slowed down!! So I checked a front guy and my lines are OK, my braking and throttle control has gone to pot. I haven't been practicing and I guess I am now paying the price. I typically make mistakes for the first races, chuck away over 1,000 DR before my brain joins the party. its a bit annoying because without the 1300 loss yesterday due to the early braker and my avoiding hitting him, I'd have got over 30,000 points. Now I am back in the 27k area so I've got more work to do. I guess some practice is due but I am finding the racing more fun than being by myself. I don't even know where the brake balance should be - mine is at one click to the clockwise ie right side of the centre, I have no idea where it should be. Corner 10 has cost me I reckon 3000 points - I start the race determined to play it safe there, but then something tactical happens I go crazy there. The chicane has cost me too but I think I will remember what to do there, hopefully.Nice. That’s movin.
I just beat .58 with a 57.9.
So much time in that track.

Mediocre night last night, had an argie butcher one race, just so impatient.

Sorry - I cannot get rid of this oversized smiley following ...

i come from the old school as well but adapted a little bit.
i use left stick to steer, r2 for throttle, square for brake, x for gear up, r1 for gear down. having throttle in r2 makes a big difference with the lack of pressure sensitive buttons on the ds4.
the only thing that is a bit awkward with that setup is the rare occasion where you need to shift down while accelerating. gotta roll your finger onto r1 while mashing r2.
Respect, that’s how I use a DS4 too, old Skool GT1 style.
I do hit the brakes there, I noticed on the top times that they don’t either but I always come in to hot if I try to not brake there and risk sliding off the outside. When I was following behind those two really fast guys the other night I was trying my best to pay attention to their lines while trying to keep up at the same time lol. They swung wide in T2 as without braking, but I didn’t notice their turn in point. I’m thinking maybe you need to turn in a little early and let the car understeer you back to the proper line and maybe past it so you don’t go off wide maybe, I’m gonna try it tonight after some jumps. I really want that sub 29 time! They were going wider than me in the final turn too, it’s a bit of a straighter shot out the exit if you do that but I couldn’t make it be faster last night in the few attempts I made at it, I’m gonna keep working on that tonight too to see if I can gain anything there. Every one thousandth counts.
Another thing I’ve been thinking about and wanting to ask everyone is, How do you guys analyze a lap? Like to watch a video of a top ten time for example and then translate that info into your own driving. What cues or other things are you looking for when you watch it?

@Melbourne Park, ...
This game is so fun and rewarding. I find the immersion great. Hey! How do you like the new deal? Especially pedals? I might upgrade...
