AMS2 AMS 2 Racing Club (Older Events)

I did a 2:14 flat in time trial mode a little bit eariler, but it seemed like a fluke though. It is a tough car to keep the back end in tact though. It has been a while, but I downloaded OBS and may try to do some streaming of time trial/practice just so see if my computer can handle it. I'll post a link if it goes well.

You can pull my setup from the time trial mode (same nickname).
BTW, who is "bulldogs" on AMS? IIRC he is an aussie, and I am sure he has raced with us sometimes, he improved his time to 2:10 sometime in the last day.

My lame attempt at streaming some TT laps.

Well sounds like this will be fun coming in green... Haha.

Does this car have to be driven with a clutch and stick? I realise the real one would but I’ve just been using pedal shifters and having difficulty with the clutch.
Edit: turned on auto clutch!

Don't worry, Millen - I'm there with you. Joined 12 months ago and this will be first race with the AU crew.

I'm using your setup, Noel - it's working for me.

Nope, drive it however you like.

not my setup steve it was the second placed guy ,but mainly it was the steering lock that made the difference from 22 to 26

Probably would need to do another 100 laps to get my time down another second. But the thing I found funny is that I did a 13 lap stint and I felt more comfortable with worn tires on the car. Was challenging my TT time 10 laps into the stint.

I got into race mode and more relaxed and I was faster, go figure. Sometimes pushing is not the best thing.

Thanks Noel, I thought I was spinning under braking (which is what the symptom is), but it was random. The root cause is likely unsettling the car on the down shift

Fred, I think a big thing here is not braking too late? Maybe that's part of "not pushing"?

yeah exactly you got to relax and not push to hard ,on the first straight i brake before the 100 metre mark and just let it roll into the corner

Yes, which feels way too early, same with the last corner, but if you miss getting it over onto the cambered part of the track you lose a heap of time.

 

[Noel Spence]

yeah same story for that corner

Been a while since I played AMS2, much changed lately?
