are you staying on the intended line boothy? or are you cutting over the kerbs?
Im staying inside the red & white kerbs. It unsettles the car to go over them.
are you staying on the intended line boothy? or are you cutting over the kerbs?
I might try something different tonight, but i was using the chevy last night.
I really do hate jumping in and out of different cars that all have different default settings and different feelings when driving so i may just stick with the chevy and work on that setup.
if it's the same one i'm thinking of there is a pothole there as well, right of where the kerb starts. That pothole also unsettles the car.When Railer and I first tried to practice after the GRID series, there was one curb (on the left sort of banked up against wall) right before a right turn that, when you hit it at speed, will 90% of the time result in a huge crash into the barrier straight ahead. And it's not as if you can even get four wheels off...it's just so banked that your car can't brake.

Well, I think we can safely say that this one is yours to lose... I reckon I could get around your previous best time but to find another three seconds on top of that is a stretch to say the least...Had a go with Peter's trusty Ford it's the best car for here by miles did a 1:44.564

You haven't found one of those old time London city shortcuts have you
Nice one Peter... Is that still on the default setup?Just back from a quick lunchtime session of about 8 laps.. nudged myself into the sub 1:50 bracket to nab second place on the board... 1:47.143. Feels like theres more to come but Boothy's 44's looks a long way off. That last section holds so much time, get that right and you can undo so many wrongs from earlier in the lap. I find that right-hander after Big Ben to be really difficult to get right and I know I am losing heaps through there. Just can't get the braking right and the car slides away rather than being able to get the power down for to drive towards that chicane where the first split comes.
Tough circuit to setup for...
I used a slightly tweaked setup from the Ford GT3 one from the renowned tuning site. Lower ride height (one click front and rear), increased steering lock (one or two clicks), brake balance forward one click and maybe the toe as well... i'll have to check though. I might go back to the default though just to check whether it was the changes that made the difference or just a better understanding of the track.Nice one Peter...

I didn't get any running here last night, and likely won't get any tonight either... but i can't see where i'm gonna find 3 seconds to catch up to you. I had that 1:50, but the rest of my laps were 1:52s.
I'm still lost with these cars and the only thing getting me a good lap time is staying on the line and not screwing up.
Make sure those tire pressures around 29-30 and be sure to have lots of camber, in addition to Petes comments. I also run high downforce. This is much more SIM setup wise, so the rear and front camber are vastly different.I used a slightly tweaked setup from the Ford GT3 one from the renowned tuning site.

I had several in the 1:47's / 8's but kept making a little errors here and there to prevent me beating my time.
I think it's personal preference, especially with the wheel issues. I love the Beemer. Never have before.I have so far found the Ford to be the most stable in both the GT1 and GT3 class. I really want to drive the Aston but it feels so much more tricky to drive (even in a straight line!!) and needs more time than I have to tame it.
