was on the way to 2.46.xx but crashed at Pouhon ....

2.45.xx is the goal, but i fear its not realistic.
but - much fun to survive a lap or two

 

It's not unrealistic by any means. Just put 30liters of fuel in her with fuel consumption on and just keep going! That's how I got down to 2.45..I got into a rhythm from continuous lapping, pushing my markers a wee bit every time, trying different steering angles for turns, etc. Now I feel as if I'm limited to what my tune provides. If I try getting back to throttle sooner or try to brake deeper, it's not responding how I imagine. I think I'm going to treat myself to an early birthday present and get a proper set of pedals so I can stop *****ing and complaining about my horrible stock t3pa's. Footwork is so important in a car and these pedals just straight suck. Sorry for the rant lol

 

Completely agree and no probs, much better off your chest! What have you got in mind for your new hardware?

The car needs early braking and very rarely needs full throttle. If and when so, it needs the wheels all straight and takes lots of patience (and space) to slowly sink it it to the floor! @Chaos_Chris mentioned this too.
Torque is so good, lower gears are nearly as quick and much easier, provided you tread on eggshells!

Two feet.
Stock settings except 5L fuel, and fuel use and tyre wear off, to get some consistency.
Loving trying to balance the chassis flex, rev flare and on-off turn-in, whilst coping with the enormous noise

OK had a really quick go, two warmup laps first, corrected PSI as it was obviously cooler when I saved the setup, restarted then instantly beat my PB first go!


F*****G love this car!

2.45 - i am coming!

 

I cant afford what I want. If I had the income to support the one time purchase of Heusinkvelds, I'd get those. However, income being limited at this point and much more important priorities taking precedent to a lavish set of pedals has me looking at standard v3's..if I can trust it I would even get them used to save some coin. I think I would be a fan of the hall sensors as opposed to potentiometers (since mine are 12 bit, and short pedal travel, have I mentioned I hate my pedals?). I have dabbled with the idea of csl elite LC's due to there 16 bit potentiometer brake hardware. It seems the popular feedback always comes down to money and then their is always those people saying I upgraded from csl LC's to v3's and the difference is worth it. Then you have the v3 people saying the brake isnt as good as the csl elite lc.. blah blah...hard to find good information out of such lopsided opinions though. The response that got me to think v3's was the one guy who said, you can get the csl elite lc's and enjoy them, however you're here posting asking about the comparison between the two and you will wonder in the near future if you should have just gone for the v3's first instead. Me personally, I kind of relate to that mind set. It would be great if there was a gaming store that had a rig set up with assorted pedal sets to try before you buy, take all the guess work out it.

 

That would be Nirvana. I might even travel to another country.
If it's any help, I upgraded from G29 pedals to Clubsport V3 in the summer.
It is a night and day, blow you away upgrade. They are better than the pedals in my car! No guesswork needed, you will like lots.
I think they are multi adjustable, I've not touched them. Maybe the brake bites a smidgen too early, but the depth of feel is so good, you dial into them like getting used to your car.

Worth posting to show the difference a bit of lowering and stiffening has made.
Nearly a whole tenth of a second gained over two and three quarter minutes of driving.
I think the car works better when softer, except at Eau Rouge, where you loose the rear over the bumps and crash.

No messing... It's really not personal Totall.. a mad coincidence. I did that earlier but couldn't post it.

Went back to WHC 130 to find my own weird settings that I remembered posting but not sure it works as well 20 weeks later. Seems a bit stiff. We'll see..

Definitely not a fan of these old cars,
Just can’t seem to enjoy them Or should I say I can’t drive them.
but I must say the ffb actually feels quite nice on the wheel, so much detail from the tyres and suspension.

 

I have no idea how these laptimes are happening...

 

Mainly sideways

 

Guess that explains why I feel more comfortable with GT cars.

 

Just watch @Pretend racer 's lap and copy that....
Dream driving. Great maintenance of momentum.

I can see I'm losing half a sec per corner on the braking and have a slower apex speed throughout.
Much more practice required for me. About 1000hrs I think.

 

Where’s gravy’s time? I am going for personal victory no2 ( out of many attempts) I am the bottas to his Hamilton. Or as Americans would say boatas!

Be still my heart! I just got back from my holiday and getting over serious jet lag due to red eye flight. HOWEVER, tonite, just now...I thought I would see what the WHC was up to this week and there it was....my favourite track and one of my favourite cars (RSR 3.0 is/will always be numero uno). That does not mean that the leaders should fret, as I have been awarded a 2 second penalty as a result of being an old fart with crap reflexes. But.. I do love the insanity of this kind of car. The first thing I thought of was that @LeiF and @Pretend racer will be all over this as I know they both love the Cobra! Too late to have a go tonite but tomorrow, I shall load the AC and see about taking a spot on the leaderboard! Cheers guys...good to be back behind the wheel.
