I like this one again smile



Little advice for those who will have trouble getting the power down. Don't follow the blue line everywhere smile

Make an early and/or even a wide apex so you can put the power down earlier.

And make advantage of the ABS , you can brake into the corner till on the apex. Put be carefull with putting power down then wink

unfortunatly with all the leaderboards being full, we have a limited car choice, still fun thoughsmile

Maybe when they wipe the tables next, we could do it again in something more interesting.



PLEASE BE AWARE:- the game has a habit of putting you back onto S2 tyres, my advice would be to check everytime

Just for know, the london city online with english cars is almost empty. I'm just in there with a elise 111r.

Any one like to join ? i'm in there for another 20/25 minutes before the door bell rings for visit.

mens, boys,... only difference is the men have more expensive toys ( at least that is what woman will tell you biggrin)

Capo - yeah that was good fun the other night, i was in a mini. Wish it was on pro physics though!

This is a tough combo, have been up on my time in each sector only to throw it away trying to get on the gas to earlier and sliding wide etc.

I think wheel and pedals are esstenial for this combo, trying to get on gas with a button must be a mare.

Having some issues at the mo. 1st was sectors times in blue saying i was 99,999.999 up on previous time.

The other is when exiting some cornes the brake line has a small block of red and am not on the pedal. Check pedals on other games and they are fine.

Anyone else had any similar issues?

I've only attempted a few laps of this combo so far and can't say I'm enjoying it.

Been meaning to get the wheel and pedals out these past few weeks for the chalenges but I've managed some half decent times with the old buttons, think i'll have to re-think that for this one though.

I used to have this problem with GT4, turns out the pedal actuators get full of dust and other debris from your driving socks. wink
It stops the pedal from returning to the "off" position, you'll have to pull the pedals apart and get a dyson/hoover on it. The other trick is to pause the game and pull out the pedal connection to the steering wheel, this resets the pedals and worked for me 9 out 10 times.

I can't explain why it's alright on other games, perhaps because your reseting the wheel when the new game loads?.
