Here is my story, not much but might help others.
So last night(2am) decided to get on GTR online, Say public server with track Porto and in qualy session. I joined with BMW Extreme. Class was WTCC Extreme. First thing I always do is go to Timings, check what the times people are runnning at knowing that it will always get faster as drivers join. I saw a time of 1:52.xxx as the fastest. Wasnt sure if I could do that(see I am not very good when it comes to setups). Anyway i tweaked my car as usual.
I first load the Simbin settings and then adjust:
Lock: 28 - Check
Fuel: 3 Laps worth - Check
Tyre Pressure - F 190, R 190 - Check
Brake pressure - 95% - Check
I would also normally adjust the dumpers but seeing its a tricky I left it and hoped it would work.
Went for my lap which was in the 1:53.xxx. Mhhh this looks like a good session. Check the timing window and the times had plummeted to 1:49.6xx. Impossible I say. I will never get pole.
Went for a few more runs. Improved to 1:52.4xx. Car wasnt handling under braking. Tweaked both fast and slow dumpers slightly but nothing improved, nudda. Tweaked again fast and slow dumpers to maximum settings of 21 on both this time. Fast and slow rebound at 11. Went out again. To my suprise my time was very impressive. You all want to know what time I did? I betcha lol.
A 1:48.4xx which was the fastest for the entire session. The race was a different matter as the first turn was all that I saw. Smacked well and trully hard by 10 cars without brakes behind me.
If you have spare time when racing, just play with the settings. Dont be afraid to go to the extreme settings just to see how the car will handle. I know for sure most of the AI :worship: here can/will go faster than my time.
Well there goes my story. Qualy without a race.
