Just finished Day 1, after taking a quick practice run on SS1.
Practice run was very slow, even to
my standards... tried again.. no mistakes but still much slower than my PB.
Oh well, it's been a rough day at work, I'm probably just tired and react a little slowly
but I'll have no other chance until sunday, so let's at least get Day 1 in..
SS1: again no real mistakes but even slower than in practice... 4th last overall
SS2: slight mistake, but felt OK.... WRONG! Now 3rd last overall!?!!
Apparently I'm doing it wrong by sticking to the tarmac?! So is it that "Don't cut" really means cut a little and no co-driver remark means cut as much as possible?
SS3: Annoyance got the better of me; not a great run.. and VERY SLOW again..
SS4: I spin the car in the very 1st corner...
This was a
BAD idea. Finish the stage in yet again a slow time, but back up to 4th last overall due to another guys bad luck.
I was so disappointed that I ragequit the game..
So as the next thing, I checked my pedal travel in Windows, all seemed fine
Decided to fire the game up again and check in-game just to be sure..
Throttle was fine, going to 100% smoothly, but the brake pedal was trailing at 7..8% all the time with the brake deadzone setting somehow down to 0%?!?!?! WTF??
Upped the braking deadzone to 15% and immediately did a test run on SS1 again... Bang! 12sec. faster than my RDRC time
If only I'd thought of that before... Now after 4 short stages I'm already 36s behind my teammate in the same car
who usually is the only Abarth guy I can keep up with..
Well I guess points are out of reach already, so I might as well relax and enjoy the scenery for the remaining stages.. NOT!
