Hey stig, i dont want to sound like a twat, but at monza my fastest lap is only 2:04.03 Please can you help me improve my laps, i dunno if you go so fast cos your setup or what, but my car feels like its permanently on its limit. (by that, i dont mean the gearing, thats perfect) thanks alot!

[Attila Domján]

well, practise alot, and after still practise a bit, and you will find out, that with a 2:04 you are way not on the limit of the car... lol

thanks neo, but i have been practising flat out for about a week!!

[Attila Domján]

then take a look at this lap, maybe helps you a bit. although this is not about my PB of 1:57.8, just a 1:58.1, but basically the lines are the same....

thanks alot neo, did you use that view to drive? or do you use the cockpit camera? cheers

[Attila Domján]

i drive from this view, except there is a forced cockpit view (like in our Mini Cooper tournament). For me this view is giving the best overview/control over my car.

p.s.: sry, i edited your quote in your post not to have the same video 2 times in....

[richiespeed13]

thanks neo, thats realy helped! but can you tell me what your field of view option is please? mine is usually 50% in cockpit camera, cheers.

[Attila Domján]

i really donno m8, it is the default by the game, i did not adjust it.
maybe the video is tricking your eyes here a bit, since i drive in a wide screen 16:10 ratio monitor, and here it is compressed to 4:3 normal size.

[richiespeed13]

o.k cheers, ive been trying your lines, there realy good, but my car understeers like a dog! please can you post me your setup so i can learn to do it myself? thanks again.

[Attila Domján]

sorry m8, setups are only available for RPM members.... (btw all of them is posted here on the forum, just in that part which is reachable for RPM members)

[richiespeed13]

how can i become an RPM member? thanks

[Maurice Hurkmans]

So lets back on topic here thank you!

[richiespeed13]

thanks neo, i'll be setting faster laps before you know it!

[Attila Domján]

just go ahead m8....

[richiespeed13]

by that i did'nt mean faster laps than you...

[Attila Domján]

why not? just do it!

[richiespeed13]

do what?

[Attila Domján]

mean go faster then 1:57.8

[richiespeed13]

i dunno, my car handles so badly, it'll take days for me to set it up properly

[hetfield2k]

@ Neo's video... tisk tisk, track cutting!

its not all about setting the car up, you can also win a lot with track knowledge. I've also started on Monza with 2:06's and i climbed up to a 2:00.9 or something like that

[richiespeed13]

i know monza like the back of my hand...
dont worry, i'll practice!!!
