F1 2011 Melbourne - Australia (Dry)

[Mark Greenall]

How do you not bust your gearbox or overheat the engine racing this way?

How do you mean mate? I can hear the engine revs, And you can't blow engine in race, Just in quali and i do that alot haha.

Ah ok. Ive never risked over revving my engine and downshifting so fast.Shame that realistic mechanical damage is not implemented into the game.

The way i drive is probably why i cant get the same lap times as most of you guys seem to get easily.Just restarted a new career with Suzuki Team skin (Torro Rosso) after installing my new SSD drive, so i have no R&D season tweaks and im just about managing a 1.26 on Primes using Mouta 21s setups as his are very stable for me.I use the Mod Pack Brasil 2012 also.

Notes
This worked OK for me in qualifying with Toro Rosso.
I couldn't really get the hang of the gearbox,I'm new at setups..
The time could probably be improved with Options and somebody with better skills than mine.

Notes
Managed 1:26.895 (Q1). Similar setup to Spain for me, just 1 more tick of Front ARB and proper gearing. Hope you like it.

updated 29/12/2011: Added more downforce front and rear (was 5/6) to make the car more stable and faster through the fast corners in sector 1 and the fast chicane. Couldn't go any faster than with the previous setup but it was much easier to get times close to that and be consistent.
