There are drivers like Giovanardi who can drive FWD for their whole life, can win championships on a high level, but when they drive BMW they suck.

RWD is just the boring every-race-car, FWD is for specialists :)


No, you're wrong, Robert.
The Seat is the real car for women to drive shopping.

Made my first few laps today and ended at a 1.33.1 :nod: Still losing time on that Dingle Dell corner or whatever it's called now. Can't find the right line through there :ohwell:
 
My first advice would be not to use first gear, I used to use it in my old setups but I dont anymore. I kills my tires too much and there's little or no gain in acceleration if the gears are set up right. My setup is posted you should give it a try and see how it fits.

Ok so here's how I take the hair pin after paddock hill. I approach usually in 4th gear and break just before the tire marks start (full braking then gradually let off) and trail brake about 1/3 into the corner. Its important to take a little bit of the curve with the car here as the rumble strip is quite wide and it allows for a few more Km/hr to be carried through the turn. Do not completely let off the throttle here and then gradually start applying throttle as you come out being carefull not to apply too much and also get a bit ready to catch the car if it starts misbehaving. All of that is done in second gear. I usually aim for about 74-77 kph during the apex of the turn though sometimes I dont have enough time to glance over at my speed and its just about the feel of the turn/car.

It's no doubt a very tricky turn to get right and can make or break your lap, as is the case with most turns here at Brands. Hope this helps.
