Good morning :D

Sad isn't it, why can't EA make game like they used to like the old Need for Speed and the old Command and conquer they were the nuts, why dumb it down and make consoles the in thing bloody kids and their fickle mind's :p

Anyway's i am getting faster might have to sort out my tuning though also gonna have another crack at the ring :D

NFS World is the PC game he's referring to, a crappy online only Carbon, Most wanted, Underground hybrid with no In-Car view in sight. Now tell me? How is that remotely like Shaft.

only an idiot would subscribe to an EA MMO they always abandon online games so easily even regular multiplayer ea games have the online mode killed quick to push everyone onto the next fifa/nfs etc
 
congrats nikaz on winning season 2, you are the master, how are you managing to get a 1:18..?

struggling to get any better than this, must remember practice, practice, practice.....
 
Erm, I'm wondering if I have the right track and car. How is it possible for everyone to get such fast lap times with wrecked cars, when I can barely get below 1:26 if I don't wreck my car. Every time the car hits a wall it slows you down. :confused:

OK. There's a little bit of history regarding this track, from Season 1 I think.
Basically, I was driving the track cleanly & sitting in first place. Then zytok jumped to the top with a blinding lap, bout 4-5 secs faster than second place claiming after watching my vid, if I adopted the same style (aka zytok style) I could go quicker than him. I continue to drive cleanly only cutting the rumble strip as much as the game will allow. I eventually re-take the lead only for the other drivers to adopt zytok style & beat me to first place. If I remember right inam22 won that particular week, but dedicated the win to me of sorts because I drove cleanly.

Right so what's this zytok style then?

Well, as you've noticed the cars are pretty much right-offs at the end of 5min session. This is due in the main to the hairpin at the end of the long straight. It's a street circuit so there are barriers marking the perimeter of the track. Use these barriers to your advantage by uh..mmm... hmmmm rubbing them. I'm sure you know what I mean.
 
Thanks for the advice nikaz. I think my biggest problem was
A. Turning into some corners WAY too late.
B. Being too aggressive with braking. Once I discovered WHERE to brake, there was no need to stamp so hard on the pedal, it will brake just as I need it to with a softer touch.

C. Getting used to how this car handles after the lambo.

So now I can see how to capitalise on this new decent lap time.

I could well get into the 1.22s at this rate. NIKAZ I've adopted your 'no tuning' settings and as you can see my time has indeed improved :D
