Haha manimal, i know exactly how you feel. I have driven the Alfa Romeo 156 last season in RACE 06 and that brought me many starts in the first group. I got bored with the FWD and decide to go for the BMW this season.
So i mainly drive RWD now and still i am a lot slower then my last years FWD times D)
It is technique for sure. RWD racing is totally different the FWD. Correct me aliens if i am wrong, but the fast guys tweak there setup so that they are stiff and the mainly steer with the throttle, while my FWD setups are loose and steady and aim for a nice line and require a lot of steering.
For sure beemers are good cars to hotlap with but in the races a FWD is more stable, easy to correct and more forgiving then a 320si or even worse 320i

 

[Rob Every]

Yes Bram, that is my point entirely

With the Beemer I can be quick on some tracks but I just find the front end doesnt bite as well, at Oscher for me the key to a good lap is the right left chicane at the top of the hill, follwed by the long right onto the back straight.

With teh fwd cars I can bang it over the kerbs there and then just brake for a split on tarmac before going over the grass for the right. In the Beemer I do teh same and the nose just pushes on!! I have tried everything but i find the feeling from teh Beemer to unpredictable from the rear! Sounds stupid but I can predict slides on some games, bot not on the Beemers on Race.

Yet I love the Caterhams and can slide them about all day, great fun, and they are vague as hell with in in-car cam I always use!

Your not alone Manimal, I know what you mean. On street tracks the E90 is wonderful, but I get alot of understeer on other tracks, the E46 is how I'd love the E90 to drive as the rear may step out but you can still get it back.

[Grégory Cogotti]

Can you post a replay, please?

 

[Peter Duivelaar]

Can you post a replay, please?

There are no replays of Time Attack mode, or am I wrong?

 

[Grégory Cogotti]

You are wrong, the files is named like this "Oschersleben_080729_1839_TestDay TOUR À FOND" or "Oschersleben_080729_1839_TestDay Hotlap". (i have a french version)

Something went wrong with the replays, it stopped at the half of my hotlap, but I uploaded my time in the TA mode, so you can load it there to see it.

 

[Grégory Cogotti]

Thanks a lot, i wonder where i lost time.

 

[Attila Domján]

made my first laps, 1:34.4 so far, waaaaay to go...

 

[SMillar13]

What is the differnce between using simbins setups and one a really good racer makes? (in overall lap time)

 

[Attila Domján]

i would say max 0.5 sec

 

[Attila Domján]

after bit of practising 1:33.981, still not perfect, but getting there.

take care guys not to practise a line where any of the wheels touches the grass, at the League it will not be allowed... (especially T1 combo right hander, triple left hander, chicanes, etc etc etc... lol)

 

[Rob Every]

Tis is what I was on about in anotehr thread!! 33 is almost insane speed

How on earth anybody can do this is beyond me!! Robotic is what I call it!

 

[Attila Domján]

Here is my ghost file for it, hope it helps you

 

[Rami Kaukola]

Here is my ghost file for it, hope it helps you

Here is my 1:33,959 lap :caked:

 

[Attila Domján]

I did not expect anything else sort of time from my twin Although a bit surprised, that it is not equal to mine for hundreds or even thousands as it happened already so often

 

[Steve Emmons]

Here is my ghost file for it, hope it helps you

Thanks for the ta. I'm stuck in the high 134s and low 135s.

 

[Grégory Cogotti]

I have to seriously find the way to turn under 1'34:suspicious:

eh Atti, why your ta file is in personnalized level and not pro? Is it because you use the tyre wear?
