Only problem with this car is the boost can be adjusted!

Think we decided early on no car tinkering, so that shouldn't be an issue.

Anyone had trouble with lap times tonight? Mine just isn't working. All numbers on right stay red on zero. Tried restarting game and PC and nothing

Was hoping to shave a bit more time off, royally pissed off.

Just had an hour, nice combo, love the turbo kick Laps a bit on the scruffy side but will try and get a tidier one in later in the week.

[Pearcyy]

But if you've adjusted it in single player or online i think it carries over. Your not going to notice someone turning the boost up a little bit and it makes a big difference.

[FourWheelDrift]

Not at my PC as I'm away but I can't recall if the turbo cars like the Lotus have steering wheel/controller or keyboard buttons allocated to them to change boost settings or not. If so then it should be allowed as it's not a setup change however if over used it probably damages the engine, so no long runs, just a single qualifying style lap can be done.

I know it's that way in Assetto Corsa but not tried it on PCars. But if it's the same I think it should be ok, as it's not an actual setup/tuning change but something that be changed as you are driving the car.

Of course more power at the wrong time can make it harder to control, more wheelspin, less going forward and easier to crash.

Can someone check if turbo boost settings can be allocated in the controller setup?

Missed braking point into the hairpin but managed to hook up a
Full decent lap. Not a fan of single seaters but feels there's still
A second to be made and I'm not exploring the limits fully

Going to have to be my best shot at mo and doubt to improve

This laps a bit tidier.

Can't find a setting for boost control in the configuration settings so I'm using a completely standard setup.
Edited for slight improvement in time

[FourWheelDrift]

Ah, that's ok then. I must have been thinking just of Assetto Corsa.

[Speckle]

Despite having my internet back, I'm having a few 'living room logistics' issues with setting the wheel up (it now requires moving quite a bit of furniture around!), which makes it an absolute ballache for just a few quick laps before work. Think I'll skip this week and try to get some laps in early on the next one.

spent most morning racing Ian's ghost and managed to drill in a decent lap
For once and failed to make a mistake even racing my newly improved ghost
I can't see myself improve any more. Still loosing out to exit the corners

So I finally got the wheel and PC set up after 6 weeks(!) in boxes, and I love the track, the car however should be sodomized by a rhinoceros' horn. It could be renamed the Lotus Assisted Suicide Car...utterly mental turbo boost. I like going sideways but this thing is crazy!

Is a Sunday update allowed? We haven't picked a new combo so hope it's ok. No worries if not but quite chuffed to knock almost a second of my time

[born2bslow]

I'm not fussed DR. Who is picking the new combo anyhoo, it's normally discussed ahead of time so everyone knows what the new one is?

Looking back through the thread I've missed some cracking combos over the last 6 weeks gadnamit

[kowalski655]

Went to try this on my XB1, after trying it on the PC left me with truly AWFUL times!(Need to get the hang of driving with the G27 before it becomes a £200 lump of plastic left in its box ) but the game needs a 2 Gb update...at 0.1Mb/s!!! And while it says I can play,all I can do is the 1st LMP race! So the top spot is safe....for now

[born2bslow]

I need a new combo, I have a week off work, and a shedload of diy to do...must have something to do in the evenings for the sake of my sanity
