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. Logged Dick Forrest Hero Member Posts: 1309 Karma: 17 Contains traces of nuts!

I think I'm jumping on the breaks too hard.And is engine breaking changing down and using compression to break?

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. « Last Edit: June 13, 2014, 03:32:36 PM by Bird » Logged Dick Forrest Hero Member Posts: 1309 Karma: 17 Contains traces of nuts!

It's effectively a handbrake.I can remember being 18-19 and compression lock-ups was part and parcel of being a 18 year old in a car!I'm sure the engine damage model is working. I blew up a few Pagani's when I had it switched on a few weeks ago. Nothing visual happened except for warning lights.
