mmm, lotsa room for improvement images/smilies/smile.gif

Well in general, dont be afraid to push it!!! compared to real life, you wont get hurt in a crash images/smilies/wink.gif
You seem to be very gentle with your driving. give it more throttel at exits, slam those brakes harder and brake later (you seem to brake way to early everywhere), and make those movements on the steering wheel a bit sharper.

Also use the whole track, you seem to go a lot of times 1 car width away from the track side, use the whole width of the track both on entry and exit.

And what's with the 3rd gear in the down/up chicane at the end? images/smilies/tongue.gif You go full throttle, lift of a tiny bit before entry, make a harsh movement on the steering wheel, and FULL throttle on exit (you can back off a bit at the exit if you see that you will rine very wide). Don't cut in the middle, because you'll pick up sand with your right tires which will lead to a shitty braking in the corner afterwards.

Make those tires scream, I didnt hear a single noise from your tires while you were racing. No need to take it easy in a hotlap images/smilies/wink.gif

Oh, and warm up those tires before racing. Do a few donuts, make a really harsh movement on the wheel so that the car will understeer, hence warming up the front tires as well. Just get them up to temperature, but dont make them all dark green. Just light green on the inside and the outside.

BTW, dunno which setup you use, hit me up on msn and i'll send it over.

Forgot to mention one thing. Andy, when you brake, don't let off the throttle completely, keep it at a minimal level, just to keep the revs up, otherwise, with this setup wich uses clutch diff, the revs fall immediately. Even under very heavy braking, dont let off the accelerator 100%.

I can do middle 59 constantly, VERY rarely low 59. I did 58 only 3 or 4 times. So you can compete with me images/smilies/smile.gif

Below 1:00 is really good... You don't have much to do except driving, I suspect??

yep, below 1min is ok for racing, usually i can clock low 58s in hotlap, high58s in a race, but overtaking on aston cadet with rb4/fxo/t cars is really hard, so you would have to be 3-4seconds slower so that a person racing 58s can easily overtake you. as long as you lap <1min, meaning ~1s slower per lap, it will be really hard for 58s people to overtake you

MXM managed to run lfs analyzer with s2 tonight so contrary to my belief and previous attempts, the old analyzer apperantly does work with s2! Will try that tomorrow again, and if I suceed in running it i'll post some screenshots of where you loose time (if not, i'll bug mxm to explain me how he ran analyzer on s2 images/smilies/tongue.gif ).

Ermm, all those are gtr replays and non is on aston cadett if i read the filenames correctly images/smilies/wacko.gif
