Oh good, someone to keep company with. LOL

Last night on [LFSNZ]2 i saw 1.13's aaahhhhhh i'll get blue flagged (well i do with most cars lol).

Oh and I left the server last night to stop lag showing up.

It's running at home, and I was d/l 10gig's of files as well. So shut my system down.

The poor server it's running on only 512ram (it's the file server) and was a re-cycled system.

So hope there wasn't any lag

Too many years wasted playing LFS is all I will say for me.

yep thorns you is flying here, i cant hit the right spot with this car, not sure what it is, i think my turn in is the problem, you can really throw these things into those corners!!!

anyone planning on running R2 tyres?? pretty hard to get them heated up! and they cool down quick.

To be fast, you need to really be comfortable with a oversteery car.
You need to flat out over the chicane, have also found that with the fast sets, you need to leave your last downchange till you turn in, which locks the rears a little and backs the car into the corner. In saying this, I'm still over a second away from the WR

r1's seemt to be the way to go, but in saying that, have found that pretty much one spin on them and they are stuffed, but as 4aged said, with the r2s, its hard to keep any heat in them. SHould make for some intersting racing with different tyre choices and pit stratgeys.

yep ive been oversteering a bit aye, you almost have to push the car to the outside and stop it turning the corner lol

Yea im close to flat out over that chicane but yea you do need to be flat out aye otherwise that whole straight your slow.

mmm r2 r1 choice I am undecided, im quite a bit slower on r2's but then i wouldnt need to worry about tyre wear. then again i spin on R2's anyway due to less grip. Yep going to be very interesting! a few differnt ways you could approch this race, i think there might be some people 2 stopping on r1's

everytime i hit the first hairpin well and come out at a good time i go throught the chicane, catch the ripple strip and spin it's annoying

What I find is that you really wanna be right over top of the first kerb on the right hand side, then give the left hand kerb a bit of space in the middle (still ride it a little) , and then catapault out over the kerb on the right on the exit. The left hand kerb in the middle part is the nasty one that is really easy to spin on.

One other thing you can try if the rear is snapping to much is soften the rear roll bar a few clicks, makes the car a little less snappy.

oh yea ok thanks man, that makes good sense, ive found that getting right up on that first curb can get rear sliding too, will try have a praccy tonight.
