Default breathtaking lap

wow, seriously smooth lines, great lap, as for all the cutting fuss: first guy to post a cut openly, let it pass, next guy will be different. There's a German saying:
Once is like never, twice is once too often!

At the end of the Day its just a bit of fun. Its not like its realistic or there are prizes to be won for coming first. And looking at the facts, it doesnt really matter if Samuel loses the odd tenths here and there he will still be in Group 1 and come Saturday Night those times wont count towards anything.

You are wrong about that Ross this Championship is very serious business

Great lap Rami!
Just can't figure out how it's possible to brake that late!?!?! And not only at this track.
I've tried everything now. Adjusting brake balance... the pedal settings..just everything!! Doesn't matter. Slamming the brakes with no throttle...slamming the brakes with just a little throttle. Easy on the brakes on and off with and without throttle. Really doesn't matter at all. If I brake that late as you fast guys I'll visit outer space in no time!

Most important thing during braking is to use the engine as well to slow the car down, once you find the good rythm to drop the gears back and keep the revs high but not overkill the engine with it, you will slow down the car more faster.

Ok i see...thanks! Will try it later.
I usually gear down almost sudden from 6th to 2nd....the only thing I haven't tried I think is to gear down slower

If you look at the Estoril track guide i am also not a slow down shifter type, but it is need to be done in rythm with the engine rev.

Hey Samuel, wonderfull lap. Is it possible to test your setup ? I change this or this and nothing make me really faster. Is it all your drive style or why is your car so stabil. If i go to the limit i have understeer, oversteer and so on. Please loud your setup up :sign0009:
