The first couple of laps I tried I got a few...... how can I put it? Tank slappers out of the slow corners. I was driving the car as if I was playing Forza. Nailing it even in a straight line the car was moving especially if you're in too low a gear. It's a bit like FWD torque steer only at the rear obviously

I suppose after all playing Shift and Forza 3 togather is not a good idea.

Using auto gears and abs on.

Slight improvement with manual gears:

Slightly better time..

I can see this is gonna be a tight contest. At the time of this post there's less than a second between the Top 5. Good to see. Excellent driving everybody. Maybe the Viper last week helped out no?
My time...

Come on... you knew it was coming.

Jesus. 13 mins at the top. Isn't 13 an unlucky no.

That is an EXCELLENT time Marine. How are you finding the bumps?

Back to drawing board for me.

He he sorry mate but i see your time as a target and i knew i could go faster

Bumps are not too bad but did have a few sideways moments in that lap once i get it smoother i will be in the 2:04's easily

I must admit at first I wasn't sure whether a low 2.05 was possible. As the times kept falling from 2.08 to 2.06 etc in quick succession it made me re access. Once you know what's possible it gives more confidence, we've pushing each other to lower & lower times.
Great stuff.

That time i have put up is faster than what i did in my Zonda :eek:

NIKAZ · 24 Nov 2009 at 22:17

Dammit!

I thought high 2.05 was possible but low 2.05 :eek:

, i have to say that is excellent time and will take some beating.

Marine Iguana · 24 Nov 2009 at 22:20

I might go and try for a high 2:04

Nikaz what gears are you using for turn 3 and 4.Some one inside keep telling me to go back to Auto gears but when you complete a perfect lap using manual gears it gives you a lot more satisfaction for some reason.

Marine Iguana · 24 Nov 2009 at 22:35

Just did a 2:05.030 but not gonna post it as my last lap was quicker than that by .400 but binned it into a wall

NIKAZ · 24 Nov 2009 at 22:44

No having to feather the throttle too much on this lap. I think I've cleared Forza out my brain now LOL. On the same session my first lap from the rolling start was 2.05.7 the other a 2.04.412

Marine Iguana · 24 Nov 2009 at 22:45

EPIC!
*Goes and plays*

T-1 4th
T-2 3rd (if you take the corner perfectly 4th, but I recommend 3rd)
T-3 3rd
T-4 3rd (At the brow brake dropping from 4th. Turn in blindly)
T-5 4th (sometimes 5th if had good exit out T-4 like my 2.04.4 lap)
T-6 3rd
T-7 4th initially, upping to 5th as you sweep right at the clip of the right curb
T-8 6th Full throttle (Turn in earlier than you think you should. Try to ease the car to the left on the exit to maintain momentum)
T-9 3rd upping to 4th on exit
T-10 5th Full throttle
T-11 3rd entering corner, upping to 4th at the apex driving for the start/finish
