Round 13: Seriously Not Serious Club

[Abdul Al-Amry]

That's is based on Abdul's idea from here. I will update the first post with everyone's laptimes. Each round closes on Sunday The server is set with 7hours of qualies.

You are allowed to change the setup.

Server name: RACEDEPARTMENT SNS
Password: usual club password.

Cars: BMW MINI - Reik Major
Track: Porto - Nicolas Hamilton
Weather: Dry






Basic rules:

• Whoever is the fastest at the end of the week picks a car or track to run for the following week
• Whoever finishes last picks the track or car for the following week.
• The same person can't pick the track/car 3 weeks in a row. In the case that occurs, the 2nd line will choose the mod
• Tracks and mods have to be either game default or located in RD's download section

Standings after round 12

ooo, i`m going to have to try this later tonight now!

 

[Lee Downham]

Do you want me to upload the lap and the setup?

... since there is such a massive gap between us then I think I might take you up on that and say yeah, as I think I really would like to see where I am going sooooo much slower than you round here to see where I may be able to improve a little - all the way round the track is my guess

EDIT: I would say I could knock a second off my time with my current setup and a nigh-on perfect lap, but to find 3.6 seconds ... that is gonna be hard mate.

Since i'm here at RD i learned a lot, and what i noticed again and again by watching laps of faster guys was the fact, that their never is a mystery of beeing that fast. But watching their laps gave me the motivation to improve my self. Watching laps of faster guys just shows you, which speeds are possible in which places. Then you finaly know what is possible.
My thought ever is, if i don't know what is maximum possible, i don't know how much i can improve. So every lap of faster RD members i watched, helped me out...

With the mini i think, i have a good style. I like to make it turn a bit with the tail. This is possible with FWD cars. I brake hard before corners but not to late into them. At the moment of turning in, i release the brake to make the tail overtake me a bit. Going on throttle at the right moment and with the right intensity controls the tail and avoids going through the corner too much sideways. Drivting too much, costs time, but a controlled loose tail makes you turn faster and accelerate earlier!

The year is 2009, where you been?

got serious love - hate for this track, lol.

I think my love is the track and my hate is the Mini. It's just soooo fragile it's frustrating. I can't remember how many times I've gotten about 7/8ths of the way through a lap only to scrape a wall and have a suspension problem.
