That's why I said in most cases using the kerbs outside of the white lines is faster. I wanted to point out that the kerbs might slow you down in a straight line because of the game physics.I was only answered to Jake who said it makes you slower if you use kerbs.
Mod-Edit: Let's stop the accusations of other drivers here, the reports have been sent and the stewards will look into it.
ANY other posts of this kind will be removed as well if it happens again.
It might not work with every car but at least with the Audi going wide is usually faster as you can carry slightly more speed on exit. I think there needs to be these clear and strict rules on track limits because it could easily get out of hand if the track limits are not enforced properly.This was just such a very nice and close race, generally there's no need to question anything that seriously. Beside some incidents of course.That's my general opinion.
Everyone who might've cutted would have saved tons of more time by just making less mistakes for example, or by whathever. So everyone would have get to the finish in the very same positions anyway, leaving the curbs out or not out of their racing line.
That mentioned curbs maybe sometimes saved just half a tenth or s.th., if not being a disadvatage anyway cause of being almost a 'slow asphalt' as well. So beside it was "easier" to drive (knowing I might use a curb on exit as well) this way, no real issue.
I may agree on the curb pre the last turn* (already spoke about that one earlier), but for almost all the rest of the stuff on this track it's minor (clean lap still faster). *When you actually can't brake properly on the curb -as the pre poster said-, because it takes more distance - than even there it's not an advantage. Though a better line through the next (last) corner then, ok.. .
You gain nothing by cutting T6, absolutely nothing, your drive up the hill is destroyed when you do this as it slows your acceleration and given that it's going uphill it's only exaggerated.At Red Bull Ring you can gain time by going over the white lines between turns 4 and 5 on the outside, cutting turn 6, going wide on the outside between turns 7 and 8, cutting the inside of turn 8 and going wide at turn 8 exit. Turn 1 is actually slower when you go wide because of the "slow asphalt". So plenty of places you can gain time on. And braking on the kerbs isn't because it help me stop faster, it's to get a wider entry into the next corner. Kerbs have less grip so the braking distances actually grow if you brake on them.

Well, if you really wanna gain some nice amount of seconds you can try entering the pits with 160km+ , twice.
1) Read the rules
2) Notice there's nothing there in the rules that says you can't do that
3) Apologize to me
So you've been doing it since round 1?I was talking about myself, obviously.
Damn, i just went and checked, i have to stop doing it from next race on!
"6.6 Pitstops
Whenever the pitlane is open, drivers may enter to make a pitstop. This usually is the case, however sometimes during a full-course yellow it is not. The game will always announce this.
In the pitlane drivers have to keep to the maximum pitlane speed. They are advised to use the pit limiter if it is available on the car. Penalties received through speeding in the pitlane cannot and will not be revoked. When the pitlane ends the driver is back on the track. He may then speed up as he likes."
I was just wondering if the mods have been looking at pit entry speeds because I don't remember seeing anyone being penalised for it.No, not really.
I wish not to reply anymore in this thread, sorry for upsetting you guys.
Here implies the game and only the game will penalize you.I was talking about myself, obviously.

Yes, I've checked the Monza and Red Bull Ring replays. There was no problems with Monza, but there will be penalties for Red Bull Ring.I was just wondering if the mods have been looking at pit entry speeds because I don't remember seeing anyone being penalised for it.
So you're going to penalize people for poor game coding design? Come on, be fair. Make a rule stated and enforce it from onwards. You know it as well as I, it's not in the rules clearly enough to be unequivocal in regards to AC. There is nothing stated in the rules that if a speeding penalty will be applied post race if the admins deem it to be necessary.All the other tracks the game made sure to slow the car down enough before the actual Pit lane started.
