First few laps I did with meds hit 15's then put softs on and bam 14's, not sure how they'll go but they don't seem to overheat. Braking for the last chicken requires trail as you bump over the first curb then straighten up to get a good run over the second curb and onto the long straight. A lot of trail in the first double right balancing on the edge of grip without over driving it. Taking some of the driving techniques required to be somewhat competitive in acc on this track helps, so some aero reliance, not over doing tyre cornering/braking grip.Switching over to the merc I did all those wrong things because I'm not used to the cars balance and haven't worked on a nice set, plus the braking into the hairpin and chicane will easily turn into an off because of the fade feel it has, not sure if it's abs, haven't played with it. With some more testing could probably match the Alfa as dietmar has before. Rolling starts would have been great for this season eliminating the Alfa's advantage off the line. « Last Edit: March 21, 2021, 11:42:33 AM by buellersdayoff » Logged Wally Administrator Hero Member Posts: 11036 Karma: 152 AC Admin Re: S36R10 - Suzuka « Reply #3 on: March 21, 2021, 12:08:01 PM » Quote from: buellersdayoff on March 21, 2021, 10:29:40 AMRolling starts would have been great for this season eliminating the Alfa's advantage off the line.Yes, good point.

Theoretical best was 2:14:7xx after about 9 laps. You can use a bit of the run off curbs around the back fast section (last few left handers) but the cars get a bit twitchy out there.

Well all I can hope for is that PLP-App will record Bueller's lap as invalid. The App seems very strict around Suzuka. If not then we non-aliens are screwed!

I had the red square coming up from the PLP app in areas which I deemed would still have been within the limits, certainly compared to ACC. So more a mention to watch out to make sure drivers does get caught out in the race.
