[Akagi]

From the hyped vibes I am getting from some of you, I'm guessing this game isn't as crap as the screenshots make it look?

Those are best hairpin drifts I have seen Goosebumps the whole time !

Small number is how tight the turn will be, large numbers are how long it goes on for.

Cut/Don't cut means you either get away with cutting the corner, or not. Dips, jumps, narrows are all fairly self explanatory

I was watching some people on twitch and when it says dont cut 99% you end up doing barell roll.

For those who are not too familiar what does left 6 80 means like what does the 80 number means or 60 or 120...is that speed ?

3 hours in to the career mode, I've done it several times with the Mini, have all the unlocks, hired some staff etc but still can't et anywhere near the top 3.

We're talking minutes here not seconds away.

Don't worries I was the same for a while! When in doubt just take it a bit slower than you usually would and try keep away from getting any penalties/resets as that adds a lot to your time! I also found Monaco had the easiest routes with the mini due to it being tarmac.

Here is the wheel FFB fix that others mentioned above:

I haven't tried it myself but it might be worth a shot if you have been struggle with the lack of feel.

I had a few more races last night which were so much fun but also still terrifying, I barely apply full throttle due to fear of smacking a tree I can't wait to spend some more time with it so I can learn the limits of some of the cars.

I believe that is the distance, 80 metres. Usually just giving you a heads up you can put the power down for a bit but be prepared to ease off after the distance stated (depending on the corner).

I think those numbers are distances

I am hoping with pikes peak there will be a peugot 208 T16 so we can try beat Loeb

 

[picnic]

Thanks for the FFB hints/links - will try these later

Is anyone still getting the Steam 41 error? Supposedly the fix is to make sure you have over 3GB free on your C drive for the replay files. Seems to have worked for a few players!

There are some good examples here

Not to take anything away from loeb, but they surfaced it. Not the same pikes peak it was.

I hope they give us a classic one without tarmac.

Thank you good sir!

That peugot he drove would not survive a single bit of gravel I guess it was slapped on the ground with thick slicks, its a shame its not old school tarmac that's true tho. Will see...

Anyone else struggling with the Mini? I'm going about 40-50mph and it just doesn't like turning, even if I slow down to 30, and apply the throttle a tiny amount it just won't steer as I would expect.

 

[~>Dg<~]

you can turn on abs some say it helps.

i handbrake early or scand flick it early then it seems fine.

if you braking hard late you are just going to slide in the front wheel drive cars.

Need more handbrake! Isn't the Mini FWD?

It is tricky, those front wheels don't like braking, or throttle while turning. For tight corners spam the handbrake and for medium corners I would brake early and try not to apply too much throttle.

 

[Digital X]

I think I have all assists off to be honest, I haven't checked. Yeah it's FWD.

 

[Thesnipergecko]

If you are heavy on the brake with the mini try changing up your brake balance to more on the rear. Helps get the car sliding a bit.

That's a point, I've got this installed on my SSD which is either my F or G drive, depending on which one I choose, Got plenty of space, but I wonder if its trying to find the exe file on the C drive....Hmm :/ My problem is I cant test that theory since my C drive is a 60gb SSD O/S drive with 5 GB left on it.
