Cant get a good lap down...Too many corners... Bird, do you know any shortcuts?I know them all But still, you might want to stick to the black stuff this time. Drive slower, and you'll go faster. I mean it. This car needs very fine throttle control, and you need to be on the throttle a lot - but not full throttle!Brake earlier, take you time finding the apex, and throttle out - carefully, gently caressing that throttle pedal!Full throttle ONLY in straight line, AFTER the car has settled. Even over bumps you need to ease off it a bit. « Last Edit: October 30, 2014, 04:01:01 PM by Bird » Logged Dick Forrest Hero Member Posts: 1309 Karma: 17 Contains traces of nuts!

Even over bumps you need to ease off it a bit.Is it meant to be that bumpy? I'm not doing too bad really, Still getting a bit lost. Couple of spots sneak up, like after the wiggly bit and the last chicane...

If so, download the section.ini file to give you the corner names. That helps a lot to orient yourself on the track. A lot of the corner names at Suzuka are famous names since it is an old circuit used for a lot of F1.What Bird said is especially true of Suzuka. You should watch the F1 guys nurse their cars around the long corners. They cannot use much of the throttle at all - they have no traction control and "too much" torque low down. « Last Edit: October 30, 2014, 04:35:21 PM by Gratulin » Logged Bruce Global Moderator Hero Member Posts: 3440 Karma: 76 "Look out, I'm comin' through!"

Easier than the Shelby mod at Salzburg ring that we tried.We where all pretty green at Salzburgring. That's one reason why I'd love to have another round there. I struggled big time last night bro! Not so much spinning off, which I did plenty of mind you.. just not getting lines right at all. Way off the pace and not really finding any. Wasn't really in the zone at all. Needed a nanna nap..

I forgot who requested Suzuka, but for all the trouble and lack of placing on my part, (must avoid starting in the pits!), I did enjoy the track and if we run it again, only need to find 7 seconds!Nice work on Aiman showing all of us how to put down some fast consistent laps, we can now strive to learn from you.Pleased to see even a high ping (~120) as long as the quality is okay, it doesn't prevent them racing.You are all waiting for this of course...I have race 2 results. Race one results were overwritten by the server when we go kicked and the race 2 logs, although the end of file was not what Wally's parser expected, I was able to manually get the results:RACE 2:Aiman HaziqSimoneBirdKrahlEdwoodGratulinSchmittezweemanFreezerRobGorgakFlattop BrucerooshooterI only have partial results for race 1, any one assist?
