Cheers guys.

I will be on for practice when I can, and to set my qually. Truth be told I'm only 50/50 to make the actual race on Sat, but I'm working on it. I'm more interested in the Miata series as I'm free most Saturdays for that, but thought it would be good to get a race under my belt in the Silvia series if I can to get a feel for things.

mother-fing-sliver-off :grumpy: gotta take the 'bank lap' ... stupid blind entrance chicane... add one more crap qualifying to my string of crap qualifying. So much for doing well at my one of my better tracks. Hopefully I'm not buried too far down the tree since my banker was supposed to be more like 31.2xx. :indiff:

Welcome Rob 👍
 
Another fast lap video for your viewing pleasure. 👍



T1: Brake no later than the 100m marker. You can turn in earlier than I do, but you risk cutting the corner.

T2: Unlike GTA NA, there's no cones, so attack the apex with aggression. You can carry more speed than what I do, but I urge you not to. Why? Because the setup for the next corner is paramount.

T3: This uphill-left hander will make or break your lap. I've seen people using the brake, but I prefer turning off throttle and use enough steering so that the car hugs left all the way through. That's where the grip is, so that's where you want the car to be. Above all else, don't push the nose.

T4-T5: If you did T3 correctly, then it's flat out with smooth steering, so you avoid any understeer. Use every inch of track. In case you messed up, lift a tad on entry.

T6: Brake around the 100m marker. Didn't quite hit the apex on my lap, but if you're able to exit without having to play with the gas, then it shouldn't be a problem.

T8-T9: Haven't figured out the ideal line with this car. Usually, I turn in late and tight at T8, so I can launch out of T9, but there's too much understeer. Therefore, I'm turning in while braking, so that the car's around mid-track by the time I need to turn right. I will note that my tires were beginning to fall off at this point.

T10: I slow down right where the right rumbles begin. When I'm lucky, I can induce some trailbraking, which allows me to exit the corner with maximum speed. Didn't pull it off in the video, though.

T11: Again, I use a line no one else in the world uses. I will say it works better with this car, since the typical issue is that I over-rotate at the apex.

Hey Eddie,
The other car is my brother (robgroove), Josh hasn't turned his PS3 on since Christmas. I keep asking him if he fancies a race, but as of yet, he hasn't regained the bug. I will keep asking (maybe JGTS3?)
 
Here's the preseason action to wet your appetites.
