If you look up replays on GTS, under my PSN BigDawg_1281... I have a replay of me driving a Gr4 car at Interlagos. It will give you an idea of how much curb to use

Thank you i will take a look...

 

[Maique]

Using some wider lines... and using the curb much more... still need a bit more pratice

No problem, always willing to help.

With this combo, you can start getting into the throttle earlier than you think. The car will rotate better.

Edit: also... I am shifting much later than everyone else. I tried half and even half over the speedo. Then I tried halfway between the square and limiter. I was much quicker shifting later at the square (gear suggestion box)

Starting to get some better sector times now. Not all in the same lap, obviously, but my initial time has reduced quite a bit.

Initial splits

29.976

Can't figure out why I'm so slow in the 2nd sector but the good news its early in the week.

First split for week, I think this combo fits me better than the last.

Long way to go......

 

[Ph1sh]

Improved a bit. Last sector is going to be tough to repeat. still some time left out there.

[Nerazzurri]

Finally sussed out turn 1 & 2 giving me a massive improvement on my splits & lap time!

30.833
59.251

 

[Nerazzurri]

Update- only one green sector so I know there’s more time I can squeeze out of this

1.1s better at the line, gettin closer to the goal, still some time to find for sure. ^^

 

[roamer2629]

You have to join a VERY, VERY long queue to beat @Speedy6543 , great to have you in the WRS

Agreed, but we usually go out of our way to help little brothers get their first, so who knows...

Posting times to get on the board. This weeks track ain't for me, so probably this is my final time as well. Nice car though!

 

[BigDawg_1281]

I finally hit what was my target lap time. Will see if I can trim it down some more. Enjoying this one

10th to 15th is cloooose, less than a tenth

Hello guys been a while, had snooker commitments with league and knockouts matches so not had much game time.

Seem to be struggling with shift points, I am not consistently changing at the right times as I’m unsure when it’s best to. Half the time I think I am staying slightly to long in gear before changing. I am trying to shift halfway into the redline, is this correct?

Using an ironing board as cockpit, prwtty unstable... The pedals slided in the middle of the lap and I finished it in a pretty strange position to manage pedald and wheel together hahahahahaha

My best results have come from shifting as late as possible. Although, I swear this car "misses" shifts or somehow shifts slower at random times. It's been quite hard to judge as even a small increase in exit speed out of a corner will lead to large time differences that mask effect of shift timing. My best lap ghost is still kicking my butt down the straight out of the last turn, even with splits .1+ ahead

An ironing board is unstable for its intended purpose, let alone what you are trying.

Tend to agree with the missing shifts, sometimes I can shift at pretty much the same time and pull a length or so on my ghost.

I'd swear the same thing.

I get much better times shifting later too. I have to shift just before redline to get the best performance. I do get an odd shift when I hit 4th out of the last turn.

There’s still time left, no idea how the top guys are getting consistent.6s in first sector, best I’ve had is a .8

The last sector in this lap was pretty terrible so there is more time left

Get back to this Friday evening hopefully

I can't figure out how yall are getting in the 29s. Best I could do was 30.08. Which I hit twice and 1 wasn't legal

For T1, don't shift up to 6th on the straight, you can stay in 5th without hitting the limiter. Turn in should start fairly wide on the right, cutting well inside to the left in order to setup for the right hander leading out. Exit speed is everything here, and you will need to use every inch of the rumbles on entry and exit.

I am using a wide line, it may be an idea form to turn off the cones as it would help with a wider entry.

I do stay in 5th for the straight
