Hotlap Event Week 14/15 (Build 189+): Palmer Jaguar @ Derby GP + Asano X4 @ Badenring

[duda1981]

I am using Gamepad for now and even using several different setups and even apparently did not commit any error and using the whole track I am not able to go beyond 1:32:803, No. 489 in the Event board, I'm a loser lol

That last sector at Badenring is killing me. In sector 1 I'm matching the toptime and in sector 2 I'm only 2 tents off. But in that last sector i am more than 1 second behind. How do they do it lol

1:35:223

@ ibby thanks i think my problem might be downforce I'm running a lot lower than you therefor having to brake harder and longer for the main corners and thats where I'm giving away most of my time. currently 1:37 will see if that changes things for me if it does i'll post my setup too !
I find that in T9 in the last sector i'm much faster when I hit a late apex by running deeper into the corner. might help find that .4??

got 2 tents with a 4 gear change in the palmer

no aids

I have never been much of an "tintop guy" and both of these cars has quite bad understeer, specially asano couldnt be more far from suitable for my driving style. It has some very bad understeer in both off/on throtthle + really weak brakes. Managed to do 1.35.09 with it but i think that starts to be the limit for me with the car. Palmer i havetn really drived yet, just tried it quickly few days ago.

Anyway here is set for asano x4 for badenring if someone wants to give it a try

[Tom Burning]

Would it be possible to setup events for "with aids" and "without aids". Otherwise the times and rankings are not presenting the truth. Or better to say, they are more less useless.

Personally I like to drive without aids. But after a weeks of testing on Derby GP, I realized that activating the breaking assistence gave me another 0,5 seconds, which suprised me in a negative way.

i've been trying Badenring today. I'm with Tulaipo. Could ibby and Johnnyw both reply as to how you guys are making up that 1 second. My times as at the end of sector 2 put me .032 ahead of 1st...i've had slightly better times since but that is the official time, but i'm 1.381 behind in sector 3. I'm flat out everywhere the car will let me. Slight let off in right hander after second sector marker, drop down just before the left hander and flat out around to the second last right hander, back off other wise i go off, then a slight let off for the last corner. I've used both of your settings and was of no use to me. 1.381 seconds is like missing a whole corner!!! Waiting in anticipation.

I think what helped me a lot in my last sectors was keeping the foot on the gas under braking which helps stabilize the car. I didn't find any magic pill for it though, sorry.

[Tulaipo]

I still feel like i have put that last sector to the max. There is no way i can find that second. I even tried to go very wide in that last corner to get a good exit speed, but that didnt help either. As V8R RUM55 said; it is like missing a whole corner.

@ibby
I'll give that tactic a try. That could be it, never thought of that
