That would be an interesting poll. I never even thought about braking with my RIGHT foot on a simulator.

Even IRL, there are drivers who brake wiith left foot in sequential gearbox cars, AND situations in which left foot braking makes sense with a conventional manual shift (think turn 4 Laguna Seca ;) ).

You already started shifting manually, now come over to the dark side and start braking with your left foot.

It will help you with car control and make you faster. Do I sound like I am repeating myself? :dopey:

If you cannot make it work on this combo, go get in a slow FF car at a short track and run the wheels off of it until it's second nature.

I guess after 40yrs of right foot braking it's not surprising I'm still doing it in the game. I've known for a long while that left foot was the way to go, but keep plodding along. Just don't expect me to be troubling D3 Bronze in the near future. Of course, I'll probably go scuttling bad to DS3 auto when it all goes t@#s up. Thanks for the encouragement @EDK , @mr_lab_rat , @Allibubba99 , @Thematic and @Ettick
:cheers:
 
Had a good run of laps after fiddling with the brake balance a little, found some consistency:

15.231
31.667

Nice little improvement at the line, but I suspect it still isn't enough yet :)
 
I still can't get S3 to work for me. But I'm ok with the rest of the lap. This will probably be my submission.

15.463
32.347
 
May I ask? What time usually is the end of submitting times? Had a busy weekend - yesterday hadnt time to get some runs so i hope for few laps today after i come home from work...

Just hope wont be to late :D

The submission deadline is Monday, 23:59 GMT, so you'll have plenty of time:tup:
 
Can't really get the timing right on this combo.

Just threw away a .234 and a .563 by crashing in shock :eek:

I brake with my right foot. I never even thought of trying to do it the other way since I've been braking with my right foot all my life. Do all the fast guys brake with their left foot?

I don't know of any fast guys who brake with their right foot.
 
55 ms imp. after many revolutions. Well, 1st sector mostly. End of the road, because that second sector is sheer mysticism. Like the previous lap, slow T1.

15.602
32.515
 
Probably my last lap in this week, somehow cannotfind the rhythm.

15.386
32.386

I'll give it another try, but even i know i could go faster, what i gain on 1 sector i lose in another
 
Can not stop :banghead:

15.707
32.724

130 AYC 2/3 BB

Had figured out how to take the first corner after 30 laps giving me 15.4?? and 32.4?? once i did i found it impossible to get the acceleration out of the last corner for the next 30 laps then gave up.

About the AYC, me personally preferred all the way down setup on 30 :D maybe the only in here :O
 
Nope at 45 here...I hate loose roller-skate cars...prefer slightly understeer at high speed with race tires . Lol

15.802
33.502

Lost in space

Will be submitting for first time in about 25 weeks.
A tenth at the line, I think my s3 was a good one, but overall splits are a good 3 tenths slower. Leaving some on the track but no more time

15.634
32.450
 
15.635
32.851
 
Ahhhhhhhh :banghead:

Unfortunately I did not have much time this week so i could drive only a few laps :boggled:. T1 and T2 were quite o.k. but last sector was pretty bad...

T1: 15.590
T2: 32.366
 
15.214
31.766

Last sector is horrific. Saw my T2 time, and choked! Have checked my replay, and got concerned at the entry to the first 90 right in T3. The barrier on the left on entry gets very close. I checked for about 10 minutes pausing and taking pictures, and boy do we need a frame by frame replay control! This is on my fast one :

I checked on the data logger, and absolutely nothing on there. A gradual loss of a couple mph after the throttle comes away. So, still panicking, I drove into the wall.

Feel better now. Good luck all!
