Can you kindly explain, how is this news?  ;D
Its Bird's 'Coming Out' post. ;)
just blending in!

I get squat, just a pointless post of nothing. :o
Seems even after seeing the pic, you were right. :D

Now that's a bit harsh!

Great job mate!  Have a beer now, you've worked enough for the weekend :)

Hey Bird, you'll know, what's the max rear tyre temp.?
I got bored at 215C....  ???

LOL, how would I know?  But I'll try next time I need something to do :D  215 is a good effort I guess.
Whenever I'm in the pits and someone is doing doughies, more than likely it's you. ;) ;D
(that's with Group A mediums BTW)
fair enough :D

I've tried it but it was a pain to set it to work, and to be honest not very good - I prefer the apps on my side monitors.

Hey I'm not too far off your lap here! (for now...) 
I've managed to run a 1:11.9 today, just a tiny bit off my pb, and only .7 off yours :)

Yes you can, Wally has described it in the other thread; you just need to modify the name in one file to your own...some json file.

I'll give it a try :)

Yes it's what we sometimes call engine braking.

Get used to do it in a manner that you don't over-rev the engine, as soon as damage is added you'll notice engines blown up here and there (especially by Dion :) )  Due to early downshifts.   Plus the rear lockup can be a bitch, hehe. It's effectively a handbrake.

Edit:
with braking (normal braking) you want to apply the force somewhat gradually, but it's very hard and the 'speed' of application depends on the car, too, so sometimes on racey cars it's fine to jump on it. :)   But if you overdo your braking you'll lock the fronts and lose a lot of braking power - altho this, I believe, is not new information :)

The rule here basically:
You may hear the tyres somewhat, but you don't want to see smoke.  If that happens, you're skidding.

Let go back to the 1st chicane at Imola. Just cause it's still fresk in my brain.. How for out would you say you stop acceleration? Do you coast before applying breaks?

No no no, never coast!   It's either braking or accelerating, anything in between is lost time.  I've started braking (for T1) just before the left-kink.  Applied throttle slightly after the car has started turning in (small throttle) and increased it to full by the 2nd part (right-hander) apex. Or if/when I took too much curb, then afterwards - but that's time lost right there.

My current one (Danny Giusa Tyre Temperatures)
does not report tyre wear, that's the only thing I'm missing with it... any of these do that? (correctly)

Oh, and another thing is that I can't pre-set the optimal temp; it's always starting from 100.

hm...wait a second it has been greatly updated.

Paddle/manual (I've auto-clutch off) : blip on downshifts, nothing on upshifts.

Btw when I was testing the H-shifter, I was doing lifts for upshifting.  Should I rather flat-shift up with clutch maybe?
