Good lap, I haven't broken 1:55.2 yet.
I think I'm driving rally style too much.
Frenchy should like the oversteer on this one.

Swoop · « **Reply #5 on:** March 21, 2005, 04:20:35 PM »

Oh forgot to say, ASM off completely, TCM at lvl 1.

Bummer, here I was happy with my 2:07.9... well, just 15 laps so far...

Whoa nice one.
It doesn't seem like wheelspin is too bad on this car. Big rear tires and the engine is right over the rear axle.
I think maybe the controller just makes it easier to make fast big steering moves like you need for this track. With the wheel you have to have really fast hands for the hairpin and the harbor chicane. Or maybe you two are just studly on this track.

Oh Hello, drivo Reno Clio Monaco?

This is a great idea, Funked. I guess it goes to show that anything is possible.

Still, I think these threads are seriously lackin' in pics. And I wish I could play.

It understeers real bad if you even look at the gas funny, but was entertaining to drive. Was much better when it got some downforce. I traded a bit of power for handling. Car isn't too terribly fast to begin with.

Downforce????

Swoop · « **Reply #14 on:** March 22, 2005, 02:05:56 AM »

Yeah, what Funky said.

And in addition to the ????'s let me also add !!!!

I'm also not convinced allowing pad users all the driving aids is a good idea. I'm currently under a 1/4 second behind Funked using no ASM and TCM at lvl 1 only. I'll turn em back on later and see how much improvement I get.
