Ish said:now that i have some spare time on my hands I have started to really get into LFS as it is such a good game.
I'm still new to it though and have only managed a 1:37 with the gti on th BL track
I have ordered a DFP wheel which should arrive today and i'm hoping this will really enhance my LFS experience
I wrote this guide to a lap at Blackwood in a previous thread. The GTI is down on power since the patch so the split times aren't quite right, but you can pick up a lot of time in the final sector by attacking the last left hander.

Aim for the kerbing on the right, turn left just as you touch it (this is where I change up to 3rd), then aim to just touch the kerbing on the inside and on the right at the exit. This should all be full throttle, and you should be changing to 4th almost as soon as you're on the straight, and into 5th just before the timing line...try for a 31.xx split.
Hard on the brakes and quickly into 3rd just before the 100m marker, give a little gas to keep lift-off oversteer in check. Apex at 65ish and use the run off after the corner. For the S-Bend just ease off the gas and apex at about 70, you can get straight back on the throttle and take the left flat out. Changing to 4th just before the timing line, try for a 1.05/6 split.
Braking at the 50m marker and into 3rd, balance on the throttle again and apex the left at 60-65, use the run off and get over the right hand side of the track...use ALL of the run off going into the final corner.
Ease off the throttle as you pass the 2nd drain, and aim for the apex. A little throttle to keep the rear steady, apex at 70ish and full throttle as soon as you can. Up the hill and over the line, 1.33.xx or faster hopefully
Your right, takes a lot longer to type it than drive it.
