With getting the 959 to 780, you might get a weird split PI reading where it says 780 and 781 in defferent parts of the screen at the same time. It should be 780 but do a quick solo race and see what the leaderboard says, just to check.

I think in the right hands it will be a contender.
Its a teeny bit understeery compared with the lotus but I only had a handful of attempts, haven't fiddled with it and haven't memorised the course yet.

Yes I came to the same conclusion last night although I was determined to make rear wheel drive work but failed. I've made a set up work well enough for me now

I had already tried the 288 GTO and liked it, but stuck with the Esprit to learn the track.

I had a quick go in most of the cars and believe the only car I haven't tried yet is the 355, not sure what time that could get in the right hands.

Unfortunately my current time may well be the only time I can set this week as the majority of my belongings are in boxes/crates spin

I dont know what to say really as I genuinely don't know how you guys do it.
I just cannot drive in this game anywhere near as well as you lot!
I am getting slaughtered when it gets into the town and I just don't know how to go any quicker.
The ferrari is great to drive and I know the car can do the times but I simply cannot laugh I may shave off half a second or so but I cant bridge the 3-4 secs to aj, as I said, his car just fks off so quickly when we get to town, he puts 3 secs on me on that section.

The town is tricky, they are fast corners, but unforgiving if you get the wrong line or are a little greedy in terms of speed. Is your car understeering? Or are you perhaps braking too much and losing too much speed?

The 959 is fast, but I find it really hard to drive. Even getting it through the first (proper) corner onto the bridge took several attempts. The GTO is good in 4WD guise as it gives you the 6-speed gearbox.

I am braking too much most likely.
After the first bridge, I can go flat out all the way to the right hander that leads into town so its not understeering badly.
Its the braking to back on the throttle that I'm just not quick enough or smooth enough.

I know I'm new to the club, but having so far been fairly high up in the rankings, my biggest advice if you aren't already doing it, is to not have the rivals as the ghost car, pick your own ghost - unless you are racing the exact same car and setup as the other rival. For me that isn't possible as I'm the only one using my car!

Once I find I car I like, I tend to stick with it and race against my own ghost, that way for me I can see exactly where I am losing time.

Learning the tracks is the top priority in my opinion. Bang a few laps in and don't be afraid to go to the end even if you've had a bump. It's no good restarting half way through all the time, then nailing the first half of a lap only to then get to the village section and not be familiar with it.

Thanks.
I'm a little cautious in the town, knocked 2 secs off and under 2.20 so getting there.

When you guys start a new season have you got space for an extra person? You'll have to explain what and how you are competing as I have no clue!

Yes of course.
We post on this thread every Monday the track and car.
Once you've joined the pstn club then go to the rivals, look for the relevant circuit, choose the pi rating and car and you're away.

My game wont open, get past the Senna opening titles then it gets stuck on the photo screen with your stats at the bottom. I've reset the game by deleting my game save locally and reset the console but nothing. Just get an error code 0x83860012 when trying to sync from the cloud that it hasn't worked. Hope i've not lost 3 months of daily game play but probably have.

I still had my 2nd gamer tag to play on which worked fine but now that doesn't work either since resetting the console.

Desided to create a 3rd gamer tag as an experiment and start FH4. That works perfectly fine.

Whats going on.
