GPL Castle Coombe ...

[exint2]

This isn't as simple as it looks!!

How's everyone else doing - I've done about 10 laps all at 1.00.1 - and nothing I try will crack the 1 minute barrier.

Also why are the A1 cars so amazingly slow ?

Oh dear, I am struggling [] I've downloaded it now and had a quick 10 laps before work tonight, and managed a best of 1:07 but that was with lots of offs.

It seems I have a way to go

[dragstar]

i managed 59.97.

but average about 1.02. i just get excited when other cars are about

will be a good race on tuesady

[diver944]

Have you all just finished racing?

Suddenly Dragstar, Dern and AJLintern are posting all over Pistonheads within the last 1o mins (and I'm still stuck here at work - not working, obviously )

[dragstar]

sorry, i missed this.

its hard with 2 forums now

could have a little blast later i suppose.

Can i have a setup?? because i can only set a 1:03 and i keep sliding around the place and loosing it under braking!!

Well since it seems I won't be around tommorow evening now you can have my setup for the Lotus.

www.polarisuk.com/video/Coombe_56s.lo1

I've set the brake balance at 60% to the front for better handling under braking until you get used to right line and speed/braking/control for the first corner (critical corner). The move the bias back towards the rear but not less than 50%. The best performance with this setup is between 51-53% to the front.

[diver944]

Hmmmm maybe I am more rubbish than I thought but I can't drive that setup at all. Over 1m10s every time or is FWD trying to nobble us

Anyway my new PB with no other cars around is now 1:04 (It'll drop to 1:20 with you lot around )

See you at 8pm

Driving styles I guess, but also gears. Probably different to what you might have been using for the corners?

[diver944]

I don't think the word 'style' should be used in the same sentance as my driving.

'Lack of' could be added to it though

[exint2]

I loaded up FWDs set up, and the result was that I was a few tenths slower, however I can see that it is (with more talent) a faster set-up than the one I've settled on, but it isn't as stable and for a long race IMHO the key tends to be avoiding mistakes rather than getting the last tenth of a second. still we'll find out at 8 oclock!

[TimW]

where do i save the setup too?
