[Warren Schembri]

have never driven the cars
have not yet gotten to grips with this track
have had no practice

only one thing left to say:
Sign me up please!!!!!

 

[Rupe Wilson]

You said the same about Zolder, but look at you now...
last week Warren you was allot smoother this week i hope you will see the benefits.
the Shelby is a Brute so brake early for the corners and be gentle on the gas until you get used to it.
but the Ford Escort is a lovely drive same class as the Cortina just a little quicker. But it corners real good and you can brake later than the shelby..

 

[Warren Schembri]

I actually am seeing the benefit of being smooth!
took me a while to get the point but keeping it steady and going through corners correctly does make you faster

I've got a problem now GTL (steam) keeps crashing since installing these mods. Game starts but crashes just after the GTL splash page.

*EDIT* sorted it. It was the old double folder mahoojimmyflip

 

[Paul Bennett]

@Justin Swan , Are you running steam to start up or from the exe icon in your folder ?

 

[Justin Swan]

@Paul Bennett It's OK now. I had too many folder levels for Mid Ohio

 

[Denis Betty]

Sign me up please Rupe.

I agree, and once you reach that conclusion, your learning process steps into a new dimension.

 

[Calum McLure]

Sign me up please Rupe

 

[Rupe Wilson]

I have a little trip to the Chiropractor and miss all the fun..
im back now

 

[Steven Walker]

I'm really sorry to leave it so late but I just got some free time and was wondering if I can have a play please?

 

[Calum McLure]

Is anyone else struggling to slow down at the end of the straight in the Shelby? I try to slow down as much as possible before going into 3rd and the back end still spins around.

Had that problem in the Cougar as well so I'm probably just not used to driving these kind of cars

 

[Antonio Tavares]

perhaps you could try increasing front brake bias and/or differential coast setting

 

[Justin Swan]

OK, Sign me up although I'm not convinced I can drive this tank lol

 

[Hiroshi Awazu]

signing up for R2

 

[Rupe Wilson]

ok practice2 has started

 

[Justin Swan]

Loved driving the Escort and very nearly won race 2 but a back marker gave me a few problems in the Shelby passing me again on the straight? ending up bouncing across the grass I couldn't drive the Shelby at all, thought I was getting to grips with it and then it had to go and remind me I hadn't lol.

 

[Paul Bennett]

@Justin Swan ,that was me in the Shelby and was just down to the straight line power
