I'll be keen for some laps tonight as well, quite enojoying this track now I have it sussed

Tips:
-first corner, you need to pretty much brake and turn at the same time, perhaps take a few clicks out of the rear roll bar if the car is snapping to much

-long right hairpin, dab the brakes and flick down to 5th (depedning on set I guess), can get the nose in with a bit too much speed if need be and just scrub some speed through understeer, as soon as the front has grip, get back on the gas hard and hold a nice smooth line

-in the last corncer complex (the hairpin, and then chicane into the main oval), stay away from those curbs, they really upset the car and costs you exit speed which hurts lots round the oval part, need to carry as much speed as possible

the rest of teh lap is just about being smooth and maintaining speed.

good tips! yea ive been trail braking/turning that first corner, quite hard to get it real fast! very on the edge stuff! that left hander after that dont cut that curb - the car bottoms out and spins, does some weird spins there.

that long hairpin is weird, i think ive been in 4th out of there but probably could do 5th, need to practice that more to get faster through there.

final complex you need to be pretty precise easy to take a wide line and miss apex's through there, ive been cutting last 2 curbs and has been ok but yea does upset car abit with the bumps, will try going no curbs through there see how it goes.

such a fast track this one! alot of fast corners! finding it quite fun here

I guess a lot of it does come down to individual setups, some may be able to attck the curbs, which I generally like doing, but just keep the car settled round here bouncing the curbs. Oh yeah and sorry, that long right hairpin do drop to fourth once the front start to grip a bit and power out in that gear.

That left hander your talking about in the first corner complex is a real odd one, almost seems more like a bug to me, take to much and theres now way you can catch teh car at all.

yea it weird aye, could be a bug might just a quirk with LFS physics.

cant seem to get that 1st corner right, i need a marker to judge the turn in but that 100 sign is too far back, hard to get it right, and its lots differnt with a little tyre wear.

hope i can get to 47's i think can if i string a lap together.
