Thanks! I’m using Autoblip and Auto clutch, one of those might be doing that?

One day I’ll get a nice H shifter haha

It is a progressive web app so you can save it to your home screen to behave like an app on both iOS and Android.

My main sims these days usually are AMS2 or ACC but here lately I've been getting a feel for AC.

I do have rFactor 2 but I need to go through the hassle of setting it up again...

I’ve noticed with this car being so heavily biased rearwards with the brakes by default you really have to work on bleeding off the brakes coming into corners.

Too much brake and the rearward bias tends to straighten the car out when attempting to turn in at low speed. Making the car feel terrible at turning in.

Eventually too much brake for too long will result in locking the rears or fronts (if too much steering is applied or front biased decently) if you completely overdo it.

Maybe try working on you brake trace coming into corners etc..its all a bit tricky at first but it’ll click eventually!

Here’s a brake trace example for a bit of context.

Being nearly a foot shorter is a huge step in the right direction.

So true, I think my worst experience has been rFactor 2. It seemingly took ages to get all the tracks and cars I wanted as well as VR setup.

A huge shame too because i really liked the feel of driving in rFactor 2. I might give it another go this weekend now that I have a decent GPU.

Haha gotta spend time with the family!

I’ve only been averaging maybe an hour a week myself lately, a far cry from the 20hr+ sim racing weeks I put in during my younger days.

Just enjoy it when you can I guess!

I just find it the easiest sim to just get in and drive haha, the tyre update fixed things massively as well. Unfortunately only a handful of cars have that update for now

It would be interesting to see what sims most people drive. I seemingly switch around between AC, ACC, AMS2. I just refuse to pay for iRacing things.

I’ll throw out my suggestion of AMS2 at Brands Hatch in the Formula Classic G4 M3(90’s F1).

The Formula Classics have the new tyre model overhaul.

Nice lap! I’d say our laps are fairly similar and the time difference is likely down to eau rouge.

I think I blend out to about half throttle go into it and manage get back to full throttle a decent bit earlier to carry a bit more speed.

For reference I blend out throttle at about 21 seconds and am full throttle at or just before 23 seconds on your timer if that’s any help!

Gonna have to try to improve my time more tomorrow hah

This is a pretty good combo imo, I think most car default setups won't suit most peoples styles but that's okay. Makes the adaptability aspect of it more fun.

I'll see if I can think of a game/car/track combo to suggest for the next round. I'm just happy to be hot lapping!
