LOL king apanyer ni...

My prediction is maranello is going to be front runner for this v8. Looking at the way he train for hundreds worth of laps now he must understand the v8 physics already.

My money is on maranello to win the Sepang race. Eh, kita ada race schedule for tonight kan? I must attend this one. C'mon guys meriahkan susana.

Maranello underdog.

Front runners (Schumi punya attitude) Madnor ngan Muaz

Peh...kene psycho gile aku....pressure2...

Ryugan! Ayuh practice! Same2 naikkan team Holden nih!!

Yah, putting pressure on opponents is the perfect way to start a season. C'mon dude you have all the limelight on your shoulder. Hail the new champ guys.

To win a race requires what one call a race craft capability, ability to craft a race depending on circumstances. You can do a fast lap all right, but what about doing a fast lap but not really using the normal racing line? You see, the ability to switch to a different racing line and still know the threshold braking limit is what counts in the race. This help you to overtake and correct mistakes without losing much time. This also mean you can brake late even when you follow behind a car since you already know several track markers for example kerb, road skid marks, signboard, grass, building, elevation changes. Track this changes by driving slowly across the track or watch your fastest lap replay and remember where you brake and what is in the view at that time.

Furthermore, every track is unique, so play with FFB settings and sensitivity as well as deadzone. Calibrating the equipment to your comfort is the way to make yourself comfortable learning the track.

btw, maranello what is your fastest lap ( I mean race distance load )?

Ya...im gonna let u believe that im really under pressure...

Race craft...no doubt...thats y we are all here.....to master the ability to know to pit or not to pit when ure stuck behind a slow car, to know where to dig on the second sector when ure already down on ur first, to let the car behind just overtake u on that corner so u can take it back on the next two corners, to take a different line into the hairpin when u late brake after a manouvre...These are the things that we simracers live for.

The best move to me is the heart in the mouth manuover Hakkinen pull of on schumi with zonta in between as they approach Les Combes in 2001. Still a hair raiser. Hakinnen knew his limit and he wether or not he can pull that off. Schumi didnt even thot that he already close it on mika. Those subsonic manouver, split second decision making is something to marvel....for a very2 long time....a mark that he knows the track and car soo well....and raw guts...

I leave my FFB or deadzone at a fixed value every race....so that when i do chnges to the car, and it feels different, i know that its the setup...not the controller. How do u do it?

The race with the bots this afternoon, a lap after the first pit stop i clocked a 2.10 flat...but i always feel that the car steers beautifully compared to when i practice in the server...feels sooo understeery....evern though the rules are all the same with the server...I dunno la..

How about u man? Wuts ur time? You and all the rest is keeping it low...aku sorang jer poyo2 ...i know that for fact that you all are faster.... tapi tak menunjuk macam aku...

Ryugan...still down? No one except me in the server now...

Saw maranello did 2:10:XXX wooo....

pitt did 2:08:XXX but he lost his beloved engine
cannot clock that time anymore (or is it?)

Me only manage 2:16:3XX

First I calibrate my controller just as finetuning my style after I have finally got the setup right. After the setup is right, I know that for this amount of braking I need certain type of sensitivity to correct that one final lock problem in say one particular corner for example. I''s more of a preference call, if you are comfortable with your way, then don't do to many changes to equipment settings.

My time race, I have to say somewhere in between late 2.09 to late 2.10 with decent fuel load. The problem is how many laps I can push with that pace is untested.

I have not drive this v8 for a while, so expect laptimes to tumble in the region of 2.11-2.12.

There's no need to keep any information low, it's just that I haven't put that many miles in the car yet. But will do so when I have the time. Right now concentrating for the upcoming FSR race in Bahrain schedule for today.

Wish me luck, hopefully I will qualify for the 24 places reserved only for the best tonight.

hmmm...fastest lap is one thing, during quali especially.
The consistency in a race is another.
A walk in the park for those pro drivers

I wouldnt touch my controller setup fer now....im comfortable with it but thinking about why does Logitech gives us all the flexibilty? Surely not for nothing rite? U have proved that...I dont know exactly what deadzone or rates does and what difference should i feel while driving...thats y i put my hands off it fer now.

2.09- 2.10 is not bad time at all...im trying to be consistent at 2.11. if i can get that it is enuff. Luck plays its role in some races sometimes. See how the race goes.
Anyone can do it with enough practice...

Raikonnen...thats a good time to start with, if you remember my early post, i was bakar-ing them with that 2:16 time....then as i improve, know the car more and the track...it goes down to 2:12..then after pitt gave me his setup, i can clock 2.08 flat with quali fuel. Stilll it is in a hand of an amatuer....pro drivers (alien) with my setup can easily do a 2.06. Walk in park...kimi raikonnen style...LOL

Good luck for the race tonite doode.

yup maranello, cuti 1 week aje....join this game?? ermm...pc br lps format.....kena virus ntah pape ntah.....

Hope so.
I'll follow your advice on being patience with the throttle.

Kalau Mozilla...mesti brontok (boleh clean ngan Clean II)

im doing practice now - cannot go below 2.13

anyone knows what is the optimum temp of the V8 tyres - what about the pressure? thx in advance

edit: ok now can go 2:12:0, a little push sure can go to 2:11, but not fast enuff. have to stop practice now, but will join u guys tonite for test

Honestly i dont know fer sure...but i'll try to keep the pressure at 200 when the tyres are around 100c....if i try to keep it lower than 100c then the tyres start to lose pressure...

Come join...me and ryugan is practising....

Or can i just email u my setup that ive promised?

Disaster in FSR WS Pro at Sakhir, Bahrain.

9 cars DNF with a lot of incidents..accidents...brakes..suspension.
I was right...Sakhir is a tricky track.
Even Kimi Raikkonen crashed heavily there.
That turn 8...I hated it
Can't wait to download the .vcr.

Good luck Pccrazy.
Careful at turn 8.

Sepang winner finished 2nd.

Amateurs even worse in Sepang, formation lap also got accidents

Btw, I did not race today...got class...too late to join already
Just about to try all aids off.
