Quite enjoyable to learn though Logged killagorilla Sr. Member Posts: 430 Karma: -2 Re: S36R1 - Hockenheimring « Reply #2 on: January 10, 2021, 12:54:29 PM » Wow...BMW is pretty fast there. Done some laps myself. It's a great layout...some fun high speed turns and it seems the long straight is a good spot for passes. Softs are getting pretty hot on the Alfa...don't know if you can make it through a race on them. Is the beemer gonna make it on softs? « Last Edit: January 10, 2021, 12:56:50 PM by killagorilla » Logged bradc RestrictedRacing Sr. Member Posts: 395 Karma: 8 Re: S36R1 - Hockenheimring « Reply #3 on: January 10, 2021, 04:58:21 PM » I hear ya Killa, I did some laps in the Mercedes last night and I was pretty happy to choose that until I tried the little Bimmer and WOW what a difference that car is Logged Alphonso_Timmins Newbie Posts: 40 Karma: 1 Re: S36R1 - Hockenheimring « Reply #4 on: January 10, 2021, 06:03:30 PM » I gave the Merc a few laps to see what times I could pull. Looks to be roughly the same as the BMW, and a more balanced car overall. I prefer the BMW though, as it feels so good when you get a section nailedAs for making the softs last.. well, that I'm not sure about as I haven't done 16 laps in a row yet. Depends if the grip stabilises, or drops off a cliff. I usually drive these cars on mediums because of how rough they tend to be on tyres. « Last Edit: January 10, 2021, 06:37:37 PM by Alphonso_Timmins » Logged killagorilla Sr. Member Posts: 430 Karma: -2 Re: S36R1 - Hockenheimring « Reply #5 on: January 10, 2021, 07:29:11 PM » Quote from: bradc on January 10, 2021, 04:58:21 PMI hear ya Killa, I did some laps in the Mercedes last night and I was pretty happy to choose that until I tried the little Bimmer and WOW what a difference that car is Guess you'd expect the Kunos boys to keep the Merc and the BMW on the same level re performance...as far as I know that's what it was in real in the end...from memory I'd even say the Merc was a bit more successful, but I can be wrong there. Bueller was very fast in the Merc in the fun run...yeah, and Alphonso's time on the server is great too.With the restrictor on the BMW the Merc should be faster based on this logic of mine.However, I know what you're saying. I just like driving the BMW so much more...it's the most fun to drive imo...couldn't get rid of the understeering in the Merc.Definitely try the Alfa as well...more understeery, but fast too.I just tried...can do 16 laps in the Alfa on softs, but they're overheating on the left-hand side pretty much right from the start and getting all red. Looks terrible in the tyre app, but the car still drives somewhat ok towards the end of the race.Not sure whether mediums get you better lap times towards the end...I would think a bit. Guess you'd have to do the same with the mediums and compare lap times and I haven't done that. I think the difference between softs and mediums is less than half a second...0.3-0.4s.

Is it because of rev matching without clutch? Flat shift with a quick pop of the clutch on up shift (only useful if the engine has rev limiter or you have to release acc a bit) and heel and toe down shift w/c, I will only once in a while stuff up a shift so rarely come close to blowing boxes.
