You got it from your inner talent my young apprentice.

Sharing is caring...

Haha nah man, all credit to Tony himself. He doesn't have my setup, he is actually just pure fast on his own!

Any advice for Copse then? lol all of you ahead of me are taking way more speed through it than I can, and even when I set the car to maximum corner performance.

I even tried tuning the entire car setup to suit that corner, and I still cannot take it as fast as you guys. lol

Cross the astroturf on the exit

How good are you exiting Luffield? Maybe that's a factor? And how are you getting that info? The Lap Comparison graph doesn't work for me for some reason.

But that's slower... And cheating lol.
No seriously though, the minimum speed difference through Copse is like 5, 6, 7 kph. And I have no idea how.

[P2] Blue line min speed: 212kph
[Me] Red line min speed: 206 kph

Nah exit of Luffield isn't related. It's purely the minimum speed at Copse. Losing easily half a second through Copse and into Maggots.

Yeah I noticed that your telemetry doesn't show. It was working a couple of days ago, but now it's not. Not sure why, perhaps an error in sTracker.

It must be your setup then, Copse is easy flat. Even with default I don't think I'm going that slow.

Chris · Feb 19, 2016

I tried default and it's a million times worse lol. Understeer city.

My setup is way better than default, but I still have to have a small lift just before corner entry.

Easy he says, took me around 100 laps to figure out how to take it flat, probably another 20 before I succeeded without running too wide on the exit

That's why your losing, it's easy flat for me.

Tony · Feb 19, 2016

Flat for me always

kedy89 · Feb 19, 2016

gonna have to put some flames on my tyre textures, I'm burning them like crazy

Jeremy Talbot · Feb 19, 2016

I can only go flat for maybe 3 or 4 laps then I gave to lift off as well..

@Chris Stacey How did you get a zoom image of that? Or did you just zoom in on a screenshot or something? I was just playing around with the stracker pages there and sometimes just how much time I am losing in some sections. I wish that the pages would have a running delta to. I know I am losing most of my times in the slow corners, but want to know how much time I am losing there since even several KM difference in speed around Copse may not actually amount to that much.

I was comparing my one lap last night to one of Tobias' and there were a some places where I was faster through some turns and him faster in others (I was about 2-3km faster through Copse), by the telemetry I can see he was probably faster, but nowhere would I think it was 0.8s faster.

I may break the 1:59 barrier one of these days

I'm kinda bummed I am half the world from you guys since When I am finishing up a session and about ready to get some sleep, the rest of you are just about to join the server for some laps

I actually hope that everything will be OK by race time. Right now we are having really gusty winds 30-40mph and my cable modem isn't pulling a full sync. Should be calmer by race time, but if not and I am warping I may have to drop out (let me know if i'm warping and stuff).
