Wierd thing is I've done quite a few single player races and it's been ok (prolly a fluke).
Gonna try a series of races tonight which it kept freezing on (C class Pro series) and try and kill the bloody thing once and for all!

If you want to kill it just cover all the vents up and let it overheat properly

It might come to that if it refuses to go quietly!

LOL

As the Nascar saying goes "fast and loose" I can't drive a grippy car it needs to move a bit in the corner to get a time from it for me

Doubly interesting - I just thieved your setup, and found it a tad on the understeery side! the only place(s) I've found it wanting to get away are the long gentle left down the hill - turn 4 I guess, and the second half of the last chicane.

Is it messed with much (eg suspension), or just wings and gears?

In any case, it seems to work ok - 53.119 (on a pad, ABS, Auto) Fairly happy with that. Need to get rid of the autobox, but the button setup just doesn't seem to work for me

Just don't throw me challenges with powerful rear wheel drive cars.

Gamertag upsidedownmark. All and any s'netters welcome to add me.

The suspension is changed but not a lot really.That setup can turn into more oversteer by taking just a few lbs of downforce from the rear wing.
I don't find it understeers that much.I think for those laptimes your right on the limit of what the rubber can hold onto no matter what the setup is.

When you next try the time trial on that course, it'll remember your fastest lap and display the ghost.

Mines just completed a 30 lap endurance race (hired a driver) without locking up!?!

LMAO, I've just tried the race that would ALWAYS lock up my 360. It's the New York race in the final race of the C-Class Pro series (i'm driving the Elise 135R). And guess what, 2 laps in and it's locked up tighter than, erm, a tight thing!
No red lights still though!

Someone get out there and put S/Net back on top

Nice time B2Z And you told me you were crap I`ve done my best, gawd knows how many laps I`ve done, and part laps after visiting the wall, I`ve managed to knock half a second off my time but can`t get anywhere near the rest of you. Ghosts, no ghosts, setups, various driver aids on/off, I`ve tried `em all

I wont give up yet

Still, at least I'm No.1 with no aids
There's no way I can get 4/10ths better though!

I know I can do a faster lap than that but every corner would need to be perfect.

B2Z ... don't you like my setup ? lol

Think its due to not being able to get full lock on quick enough, have the same problem myself.

See we are down to rank #3-#5, gutted ive been knocked down to #13ish . will have to finish work and get some times in.

My housemate has suggested that the top 8 SNetters have a multiplayer race on final day of the time trial on the time trial track, what are peoples thoughts?? personally think it will make for some bloody good (interesting/scrappy) racing
