the line is generic to the track. nothing to it.
How you can get the GT2 to do a high :26 is out of my mind. It's understeering way too much for me to get it that fast. Several months since I last played FM2 though, so I blame that.
I really can't believe that. I can't believe that a 2-seater sports car is just as, well, slow as a 4-door budget mobile. But then, the RX-8 did a similar time as well? That's just so weird. Either the S2000 and the RX-8 are very slow, or the Mazda 3 is a very fast sedan.The time was from fastestlaps, and the S2000 was driven by Motortrend.
Understeering under throttle? Use less. Understeering when not on brake/throttle? You should be on the throttle, or the brakes, never neither, but if you must then go slower. Understeer just means either you're going too fast or you have too much throttle. There are lots of fixes. You can try a later apex, you can try braking less in the corner to get the car rotating, you can rub the brake while accelerating mid-corner... basically anything you can think of to get the front tires to bite.
As to the line, I find that sometimes it does change a little bit from car to car. For instance a heavier car will probably want to apex later than a light one, but it's still up to the setup. There's too many variables to list in that respect.
I totally understand all of this, but why can I brake MUCH later and get MUCH less understeer with the RS?
Driving the GT2 just didnt give me any confidence. Before the first corner I had to brake extremely early and had to wait with the gas almost untill the road got straight again...
Laguna Seca very much famour light and nimble cars over super-powerful and heavy cars. A track that would divide the cars even more would be the Silverstone GP circuit. Long straights that helps the powerful cars and lots of understeer provoking corners.
Gonna do a few laps later tonight in some random cars.
BTW can anyone set a fast time in Laguna Seca with the Carrera GT ?
So how can the LP640 be as fast as te CGT? (The LP640 is quite Heavy)
AWD. Anyway, lets use Silverstone GP instead!
1:27:903 - Viper SRT 10_______________________GT-R
1.28.106 - Lamborghini Gallardo Superlegera_______GT-R
So if AWD is that fast how can the SRT10 be faster than the Gallardo SL?( Both are around 500 hp , the Gallardo has 20 more)?
