You could just do what every one else does, try as hard as you can and just race with who ever you end up racing with, you're not going to get fired for not winning. (you're not Charlie Sheen!!!) |

Speed just get back into the Acura. Try running it with TCS on. If you want I can run a few laps with you and watch the replay to help you with braking and throttle. I helped a friend before. I would always outpace him by 6-8 seconds a lap. Once I taught him proper braking and not over driving the tires he eventually stayed on my bumper and was able to over take a few times. The 01b is the absolute best handling car in P2. You don't have to fight it in the turns 90% of the time. |

GTC would be even worse than GTE. Honestly, sticking Porsche cups cars into the ALMS was a stupid idea, I'd rather see more GT or LMP cars. Also, most drivers who come into the series tend to either be just plain quick, or have prior racing experience and so they're no slouches. I don't think we've had a total noob come in for a long time now. Not to mention, perhaps some people are quick in prototypes then GT cars (such as myself), and so giving them an even slower car might not do much for them. Oh, and calling people Amateurs is kind of rude. |

I beg of you, stop wasting time posting idea's that EVERYONE has disliked and has said won't work. Just get in your car and race in YOUR class and don't worry about what people in other classes are driving! |

Thats funny. I managed a 1:34 with that exact tune. Must be your driving style compared to mine. How many laps did you turn? The longer I usually drive the cars the faster they get towards the 10th lap. I get that it is slow from your first point. I am asking what I need to do to adjust it to fit your driving? I am trying to help you, so help me help you. If not do it yourself. Edited by C4pt4in 0bvious, Mar 19 2011, 10:56:49 AM.

^ This is perfect. Speed, I understand from one of your previous posts that you would class me as a good driver. Well how do you think I became faster? I was just like anybody else, when I started racing properly on FM2 I was not that quick at all, I used Automatic and ABS, as well as TCS. However I was fortunate enough to race with some brilliant and kind people who taught me a lot. I have raced with so many people who have taught me so much. SFF1 Schumacher probably taught me the most, I spent a lot of time racing with him, and he was very helpful, I first stopped using ABS and Automatic with him, way back on FM2. Then there was a guy called robbezzz, who I raced against and he pushed me very hard, I learnt so much that I once came back to race robbezzz and was a lot faster. And now for about 3 years maybe, almost 3 I think? Something like that, I have been racing Mr. Polaris, who has pushed me further. Then obviously more recently there has been V12 who have all be wonderful. Racing against and learning off those people has taken me from being some rubbish kid, to a decent racer. In this series we are very fortunate as there are a lot of brilliant and kind drivers who we can all ask for help if we need it, or to race against. Like Andy pointed out, I you don't race hard against people who it is difficult to beat, then you will just get complacent and stop improving. One of the people I love racing most is V12 BackONE because he just wipes the floor with me, like 1 second a lap faster in the same car, and I have to drive so hard, on my limits, just to keep him in sight. But, every time I do it I feel like I have improved so much. |

@C4pt4in 0bvious i did quite a few laps with that tune but i didnt really see any improvement in my lap times.the front need alot of downforce and the rear almost the same but slightly less,also the tyre pressure should be about 28psi on the front and about 26 for the rear. |

Vamps do you have my tune? If you do, stick full aero on in both front and rear, and then wing it from there. Make sure the accel diff is nice and high and put the decel diff really really low. Then put the roll bars well stiff and soften the front suspension loads. You are going well fast on every corner in a P2 car, so screw the mechanical grip up so you can get some bite at high speed. |
