Recommend watching that small screen as full screen looks nasty. Will post the better one tomorrow

 

[Alessandro Gamberini]

Thanks Lee, only converted your tube link into a RD window screen

 

[Lee Ross]

Thanks mate, how do you do that?

Btw just knocked another 3 tenths off that time, 36's are most deffo on.

 

[Alessandro Gamberini]

Thanks mate, how do you do that?

with the "insert video" button (old video tape icon) at the top of the reply window

 

[Tomas Torasen]

Very nice, Lee! It even looks as if you can improve quite alot by hitting some apexes and going a little wider before some corners. now I need to evaluate what I'm doing wrong.

 

[Tomas Torasen]

Just out of curiousity Lee, what is your wheel settings when you drive this car? 400 degrees?

As i said earlier mate, i only started practise this morning so still finding the right lines and braking points.

Onboard cockpit version.

 

[Tomas Torasen]

Nice! I think being able to control that setup gives you a huge advantage. It is not possible for me to compete in this competition.

I will give it another try tomorrow and see if some sleep can help

ciao

 

[Bjorn de Haas]

Gotta start some practise tomorow i see

 

[Phil Hopkins]

Don't worry, Tomas. I'll be behind you all the way! I tried Lee's setup, and it's way too hot for me. And the best I've managed with the default setup is 1:42. I'm sure it's my lack of skills and not the setup. I'll keep practicing, and I plan to race, if only for the experience, and so as to ensure that others finish ahead of last!

[Lee Ross]

Cheers Bjorn, will anybody be on later tonight?

 

[Alessandro Gamberini]

I'm in your exact situation, damned lack of time ....

I'm not sure it gives me an advantage as to me it feels planted and i'm really not struggling to control it. Try drop[ping the brake bias more to the rear and drop the brake pressure if that's what your struggling with. As i said earlier i am using some modified pedals which help with not locking up as there is alot more feel in the brake so i can slam it down initailly and slowly come off if that makes sense, where as the standard pedals your brakes are either on or off.

The trick i find with the F1800 is to be soft on the brakes and almost engine brake more using the gears. Maybe your going down the gears too quick which is making the rear unstable and introducing oversteer?
