Generic Weekly Hotlap #95 - Too much lag will kill you

Awesome challenge, everyone will be a better driver after these two weeks I'm sure, the F40 is very predictable at least, time to try the yellowbird.

Some big wobbles, but made it all the way round! Very good advice from 365gt to do a lap at 40%, then 80% turbo, it helps enormously. I must have had over 30 attempts yesterday.

 

With the F40, yes, one time on RSR just under 7:20. With the Yellowbird WR is 7:24 and Ben is a proper alien, like actual alien. So sub 7.20 isn't possible if he's over 4s off it.

Finally!!!!!!!!!!!
Sector 3 was really sketchy, including a complete stop just before Brünnchen. I reckon with the time it took to get the car pointing in the right direction, plus my amazement that the lap wasn't invalidated, I lost 8-10 seconds.

 

@moodyryder I watched your vid of your laps and I have to say I am amazed at how smooth you can drive these cars. If you compare how the steering wheel is moving in your video and mine, its a pretty dramatic difference. Your wheel hardly moves. Now compare both of our videos to the real thing (second video in post #3 of this thread) and you'll see that my video is a closer representation of reality.

I suspect that you have much less steering angle on your steering wheel settings than I do. I'm at 900 degrees which allows me to seesaw the wheel like a madman without ditching the car. Formula 1 cars have only about 270 degrees, rally cars 540 degrees and street cars 900 degrees, from what I can remember, so adjust your settings if needed depending on the situation.

I could be way off you really are just ExLax smooth with your inputs, but to me it looks like your scared to turn the wheel too much.

the more laps, the more fun, and less chaos.

 

wow. and i thought i could learn some new mistakes. but most of them are exactly as my crashs....

thanks for this brilliant video and the time and work you invested. laughed really loud. genious

 

My virtual wheel is at 240. I've noticed my unwillingness to turn the wheel myself, but it's just the way I play. I constantly adjust my line with the throttle, rather than simply turning in more. I know it is far from the most efficient way and my times across all the challenges show that. C'est la vie. Smooth is fast but slow is just plain slow.

I changed the virtual wheel to 900. There's definitely a bit more action with the hands. Not much of an improvement but it does mean, at least for me, that the F40 has beaten the RUF. ( by 0.157s )

Had time for a few quick laps. I think I love this car nearly as much at the track. Thanks Hugo!

Quick go with the Ferrari, it drives like a family sedan compared to the yellow bird.

Your steering actions in your new video look way more natural now @moodyryder but still kinda muted compared to mine eh?

The RUF is nut. So skittish, impossible to keep it on the track.
Hats off the V8_KB posting an incredible lap time!
