That Stratos is weird. It's got grip but it also doesn't. :lol:

I'm done. Hope it holds.

Tried out the Lexus at Suzuka. It's a boat but it's not bad. Did a handful and was able to cut some.

I’m coming around on the Stratos. My first laps were understeer-city with a fair amount of four-letter words 😂 Then I started to notice how the weight transfers and began to leverage that. I’m getting the hang of things…. will come back tomorrow as I’m a glutton for punishment 😋

A tip for wheel users: dial down the steering angle. I used 720 degrees, which made the quick succession of sharp corners a lot more bearable.

...

Nice time

Yeah , steering angle.. I wish PD could implement that feature for Motion Steering on controller too, since in some cars controller reaches full lock already in 10-20 degrees of tilt and finding correct input in those cases is very very difficult...

PD... (or whoever who can talk to PD) ... pretty please... please....

See, it's not that hard (actually I do think it is). Impressive time Jeje 👏

Thanks a lot my friend :cheers:

Yes, it's not that difficult.
When you look at @Tidgney 's always very well-made guide, you quickly understand how to approach this circuit with its winding part and its fast part and especially how the car behaves.
Very nice time for you too, my friend Dennis :cheers:

👏👏

Morning folkies!

Had a little better feeling with the Stratos this morning,
Weightshift management is the key if you ask me...
The fast S in the beginning is super hard to nail but if you do it's very rewarding timewise....IF... you don't stuff up the long lefthander after that 😂.

My last sector wasn't the best i had so technically a 14 should be possible, altho it didn't felt that bad.

Good opening session!
