Sad but true

Getting 8 on at once to fill a race is going to be a pain by the look of things. Why not just use the PI700 scoobs as a friends racing bunch so at least we can get a setup for that car ?

Wheel or pad? I had a blast for a few races last night (cheers Jack) back with the wheel. I tried changing the settings to make it more sensitive as I find I struggle when I need to apply full lock quickly (easy with the pad). Think it helped but my best lap was about a 1:44 of maple valley (great track BTW)

agree. That is what console gaming is about for me. made all the better when you get a few rivalries going like on here and you can enjoy the banter after the races.

Ok so we're scrapping the championship idea for the time being.
Still like the idea of choosing a particular car and max PI and all racing them (I've already made my B-Class Scooby and now an A-Class Scooby).

Yeah I like this idea also. I just speced mine up to 700 but really need to think about the mods more.

What surprised me was where I made the time up, I thought it would be in the last corner (which always feels like you should be able to go faster round) but it was actually in the downhill section towards the hairpin.

The amount of times I have put my foot down too quick on that final bend only to clip the wall at the start of the straight and completely ruin the whole lap!

I tightens on you which is the killer as you want to wind up the gas but have to resist.

you know it's not nice to put pressure on people like that

I'll give it a good go with my trusty S204. I think my setup will need tweaking for this circuit. I remember a lot of the sections are flat-out like the downhill to the hairpin and need a bit more front grip. The section before the straight/jumps is critical on that lap. I find I can take more speed into it that corner than you'd think.

I'll try tomorrow afternoon when I get home. Might take me an hour or so to get my MOJO back.

Not yet! But now you've mentioned it, it would be a good place to 'bump' people into on an online race lol.

Yup

also nailed the edge of the barrier and wrecked the car in one hit. It's one of the hardest corners in the game IMHO

Well I'm going to try spend a bit of time tonight learning the track and seeing how I go with my 700Pi Impreza. I'm also playing with the wheel sensitivity to see if I can improve that as well. If however anybody is around for a few races I'll be sure to try and join in\bring up the rear

Does anyone have any setup tips for the Porsche 962c Nurburgring TT?

I'm using a pad and finding it far too reactive to make smooth progress - its like every turn is full lock or nothing!

Frustrated as I want to get all the time trials done!

Cheers

I bagged me a 1:37

1:36 is out there ... even a 1:35 for a super clean lap.
