Is this right or a typing error ?
Because it's always 1.

The Setup is good. At the moment my besttime is 1:40,7xx.

nope, I use 11 in TT and 1 in races(11 in races causes pitstop bug, about 10Kph in pitstop), I think it is better with 11 in TT, it feels the car is a little bit quicker though turns a bit worse.

How in God's name are you guys pulling 1:40s with the Lotus? I've used Bram's setup standalone and with some personal touches to account for my style but I've never broken 1:50, ever. My best has been 1:51.2xx. I feel like I'm driving the correct line and the car FEELS fast too, plus I'm blowing the AI away in sectors 1 & 3. Bruxelles kills me because of the yump right at the entrance to the turn, I lock up my brakes every time, but that can't be the only reason I'm like 2 seconds off in sector 2 can it?

I can never keep up with the AI in sector 2 at any track!

I copied brams setup and spuddy's, the results were pretty simlar to my own setup though (my setup wasnt all that different). This is probably my favorite track, yet the best i can manage is low 1.43 to high 1.42, its quite annoying cos ive always thought of myself as a pretty handy driver, but my times only got me too 2000th on the leaderboard (lol). Im driving my arse off the car, hitting every apex, getting all my breaking spot on, maxing out on the straights and im still posting them mediocre times. Any ideas? (the only thing i havent tried is ajusting the wing during the lap, do you guys do this and does it make much difference? I usually end up arse first when i change the wing cos i loose concentration).

Btw, i get online quite alot (PS3) so if any of guys fancy burning so rubber drop me an add, i have an earpiece too so we can have a bit crack while driving (unless its late).

Hey guys =) i made a video of 3 laps in spa with my personal setup and I wanna see your opinions about it. My best lap is a 1.42.638 but as I told it in the video I´ve already managed a 1.41.5** on my laptop. I could do these laps a bit better but I think for my first video it should be ok. If you have some tips how i can improve my laptime, please tell me because I gonna upload a new one with hopefully better laptimes. =)

So...here we go =)

Don´t fotget THUMBS UP

Hi Larry, Nice driving, what light mod do you use ?

hey viktor, thx =)
I use the [RDDev] Gl4dLights Weather V12 *New*wich you can find here @ racedepartment.com I did it a bit brighter with a video-program, so the mod doesn´t chance the light as much as in the video.

I will try your setup in the next couple of days. Maybe i can improve my laptime and my driving. But anyway...thx for watching !

ok, then I understand about the light . More fast vids plz and hopefully even better times !

Front height 11 : Strange that this works since in real life the back of the car is always a bit higher than the front......

viktor i am using your setups with great results, thanks for the help.

Love this site, I'm soo bad at video games though, I always need oversteer under braking and more wing than you guys.
