dun give up, im struggling too, need more practice time (which i dun have)

short stint last night, softened rear spring, longer gear ratio, only 2:14 - still slow, need to dedicate time to handle this v8 beast

dunno lar but i think need to use the brake effectively to turn the car??

The V8 effect

lol.....u need to practise at least 100laps...but if u can handle this V8 beast, other mod become kacang to drive...hehehe

OT/

Zid....Tiberium War tonight.....lol

Wah..dah beli C&C 3
Aku dload je

C&C best kalau main online.

how much is this game?

RM140
correct me if I'm wrong.

yes correct ~ RM140.00

Why?:

1. In 2nd gear car 'terhoyong-hayang'.
2. Release brake after max speed from 6th gear to 2nd gear, car 'terhoyong-hayang'.

How to drive this beast?

1. I think ure too hard on the throttle. If you do that, the load will be transfered to the other side of the car too quickly. Since this v8 cars is not too low or too wide like other race cars, pressing on the gas too hard can lead to lost of balance thus 'terhoyong-hayang' coz u are trying to counter that lost of balance with the steering, which actually makes things worse.

Be gentle on the throttle...I always imagine myself driving an f1 car in slow motion when im in this v8 car...sometimes can be a bit funny.

2.I think braking habit also have to change abit from our gtr2 days. This v8 car is very high and not very wide. Its about load transfer too. I assume u braked too late and try too get on the throttle as quickly as possible by releasing the brake pedal. Remember when u brake, the front ride height will be lower than normal. And when u release the brakes too rapidly, the front ride height of the car will rise rapidly too thus resulting, again, a lost of balance.

I personally brake much2 earlier than i did in either f1 or gtr2...to avoid lost of balance or the car slanting too much to one side...I'll find that its very hard to do a good acceleration out from a corner without the car being flat...

Just talking about my experience here...other 'OTAI' please contribute!

kudos for the observation. The key is not to upset the balance. Be the car.

Truly a challenge.

Nah, just enjoy the car.

600+ hp with little downforce, Imagine how scary it's to ride this thing.

Try the setup of others and see how you like it. First thing is don't push in the earlier laps. Just cruise around the track and slowly and gradually increase the speed as you become familiarize with the car.

Sakhir is worse than Sepang

Very scary indeed.
It's like the car had an accident and need repairs.

What suxx most is when you did a nice lap in the beginning but in the end spunned in 2nd gear...2nd gear dude
At the corner in Sepang that you hated most

Normally, we use 20% gas in 1st gear...in V8...2nd gear also 20%
Otherwise, spunned.

honestly Sakhir is easier than Speang to learn, Sepang is more technical. But Sakhir is bumpier.

For Sepang, I found a cure to that corner problem. Make a wide entry and take the side where there is less elevation changes, slightly after the apex curb. This will give me more stable entry. I spun less now.

Depends on ur steering angle. If ure steering angle is too much sometimes even 10% throttle can make u spin, worse if u carry the momentum from the previous straight. That can make u spin easily...

PCCrazy...if ure talking about 'the corner', then ure right...i saw hot AI drives these v8 car. Its exactly how u describe it. They swerve the car abit to one side, make sure the grip is enuff, then throw it into the corner...

Yup...its better to take THE corner from the outside...avoiding the higher pitch slope on the inside...so the 4 tyres position can be as level as possible..thus more grip.

Raced with the bots...1 hour race..completed 27 laps....i got my stopwatch to clock my pit stop, from the moment u exit the track into the pit entry until u exit the white line at the pit exit takes u approximately 46 seconds...after spending 13 seconds changing tyres and refuelling...I did a one stopper...i think its the fastest way around.

Pit stop window somehow can vary depending on race strategy. The race was fun...lots of close racing.... Tyre management is VERY2 important...or you will lost seconds per lap...

ehem2.....tumpang lalu....

Alan! Aper citer beb? Moh le meramaikan lagi league v8 nih...ko cuti ke?

Yup.
Bumpy yes.
One of it is the Turn 8.

camane.v8'ers..semua dh ready ker..
maranello, pitt, ...'rising'..
PCCrazy oledi king
sure aku tenggelam kt v8 nih..

tu yang aku stil masuk league lain skali tuh..nak try jadi 'King' kat sane..kalo boleh la...
