I'm having huge problems with finding braking points and racing lines for the AS cadet track + handling the chicane consistantly... here's a SPR of it... please take a look and leave comments :D

mmm, lotsa room for improvement :)

Well in general, dont be afraid to push it!!! compared to real life, you wont get hurt in a crash ;)
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? :p 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 ;)

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.
 
Pedal to the metal through the chicane... I start to turn in when I see the 3 black and white poles...
That at least one sec accounted for...
Pdanev told you the rest anyway... Ex WR holder, I belive??? ;-)

nah, iirc i was 2nd on aston till i got overtaken by "arrechee" (sp?), since that stable 3rd :)
 
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%.
 
alright... thx for the tips pdanev, gonna give them a shot again :D... I'm using a cadet setup that mancs gave me, should be alright
 
I'm <1min now :D... at least I'm on the first page of the hotlap board :lol:... thx for the tip guys, but I don't know where to get the remaining 2seconds from? :(
 
if you can lap constantl <1:00min times that should be competitive enough ;)
 
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
 
alright... thx alot pdanev... and yes BUba, I'm on holiday now so I sat my ass down for like 3 hours straight hotlapping :D... my consistent time is very low 1min... once awhile I'll get high 59's
 
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 :p ).

I always warm up my Tires. But by the time there warmed up there flat >.<

Replay Data From A few Of My Races:

warning one of them isn't pretty
 
Ermm, all those are gtr replays and non is on aston cadett if i read the filenames correctly :?

Btw, no need to warm up tires with gtr cars, they warm up more then quickly enough within 1/2 a lap.
 
Yeah, i managed to get lfs analyzer working, dunno what i did wrong with my previous attempts. Quite a nice tool :thumbsup:
*goes analyzing and chasing the WR*
