How is this possible? Looks like insane amount of grip.
In India MotionBlur holds the record (the other times are bugged or with assists or whatever, I know Motion he is one the the fastest players on PC. He even have a video about his lap which I can show you if you want) His lap time is 1.17.628 and he is 4th.
the 10th time is kiflas time I know him well too. His time is 1.18.247
25th 1.18.738
50th 1.19.079
100th 1.19.684 (this on is with assists the other are without)
I'm no expert in this pc vs console thing. Maybe after comparing the times we will get a clear picture.
OK so i looked at the India xbox times last night:
10 - 1:17.636 - no assists
25 - 1:18.117 - no assists (this one is Noble 2909's time )
50 - 1:18.812 - assists
101 - 1:19.411 - no assists (i didn't list 100 because it was assisted)
so from the looks of it xbox times are 2-5 tenths quicker around here.... weird. But i don't know how many players are on xbox or PC, and in order to make a proper comparison you need to know the ratio of players.
another thing to note was that of the top 100 times only 12 were set without assists.
Not sure how reliable the results will be as i'm sure some no assists people are using a glitch* to get uber lap times (as well as all of those who extend/cut the track, which India is great for)
Also, there are more people on xbox (99% sure) so the average amount of 'cheats' will/should be higher, therefore resulting in better lap times. I mean if you watch probably atleast the top 20 times around there, all will include running off the track
*Start the lap with no asssists, as soon as you cross the line to start the lap, press start and turn assists on, then as you come up to finish the lap, before you cross the line, pause and turn all assists off again, and stupidly the game see's that as a 'no assists' lap.
That's another gripe i have with the game. For 2012 we need seperate leaderboards for assists/no assists/clean/dirty laps.
Indeed. If you want the best possible results with the least amount of variables, then Monaco would be best for obvious reasons. That would atleast get rid of the cutters/extendersGood points. I haven't watched any of the top times laps. So, if they are extending the track and cutting corners, and there are more people on xbox than PC, that would have an effect of the top times.
Also, i had no idea about pausing and switching assist levels.... that is disappointing. I would agree with separate leader-boards for sure. Or at the very least, a way to sort out the results so it will show only the results you want to see. They can sort you and your friends into a list so why not sort the no assists from the assists and such.

Really, they just need to take a leaf out of Forza's book. 4 wheels outside the track boundaries = dirty lap, as well as maybe pinching their replay system! It would make league racing so much easier, to monitor cutters/extenders, as well as provide multiple camera angles of incidents, to come to a fair conclusion. #i'llstopdreamingnow
It's something that I have never really understood how they allowed into the game as just a few laps running on any track revelas the problems so surely it was something they could \ should have picked up on straight away!!Indeed.

you say that adjusting spring stiffness helps to attack curbs...but which way should I adjust my springs to be able to run over them?
I tend to run very stiff suspension and don't have too much of a problem with curbs, corner grip seems really good too. The only thing that seems to suggest that I shouldn't run super stiff suspension is tire wear. Also with the braking, you say noble tends to brake really late and also brakes into the corner...these both seem counter intuitive/ mutually exclusive...wouldn't setting a slightly front brake balance help you brake quicker? (therefore later)
But if you set your brake balance forward then you risk locking up and/or extreme under steer into corners. trail braking (as you said noble was doing, or braking into corners) would indicate more rear brake bias...but stopping distances are supposed to be greatly extended when you move the bias back.
I have a basic understanding of real physics and how set up changes can relate, but I'm more interested in knowing f1 2011's physics...because they don't seem to make sense. any help is appreciated.
