that helmet gave u the extra few kilowatts that u needed bro.

yes it did rudi, that helmet alone gave me seconds off my pb, the addition of guitarhero powered stickers increased it magical ability by a further 2 seconds.

Magic.

You're pretty smooth Q through it the time for that lap is in the vicinity of 1:46~, i would definitely say u can easily get more speed through the sweeper. i know in my car, towards the end of it im pretty much flat foot through it, especially as it changes direction.

[Q_ball]

Yeh looking at the clip now u can tell im not pushing it all that hard through that left hander.
Tyres werent screeching loud enough HAHA.

Benson, in terms of gearing where abouts are you referring to?

[air23box]

There are a few you can use 3rd.....or up one gear and gain more speed b4 entering the corner......then down gear b4 that........I used to worry hitting the rev limiter and lift off the gas too early and wait till the car roll to the brake point...that lost me 1/2 sec there.....

[Q_ball]

I get what you mean Eddie.. one point i can think of where i can gear up then down again quickly is turn 1 from the start/finish line and possibly before the left hand sweeper.

But where can i use 3rd?
The hair pins? Or the 2 right handers after the back straight?

[air23box]

actually gear is ok......just the lines are a bit off....
the 2nd HP you can keep running with the turn...dun need to do out in out....3 HP can dive in the apex a bit earlier.....just try to get on ur gas a but early b4 the exit.....and 1st turn after the back straight....you can have more corner entering speed and run a bit wider....there is plenty of space you can run wider after you turn in......

U should be able to gear up just before turn 1. i get into 4th for a good 2-3 seconds before i need to downshift and turn in, i stay in third for those two turns the same as you do as well.
Also, keep in mind that eddy is insane lol.

how do you know that....
yeah.....try to up gear earlier rather then wait till you hit redline......it will ruin the car's balance while you enter the corner......coz when you lift off the gas too much weight transfer to the front......you may feel ur rear dun have as much grip as you want.....

[air23box]

One of my old video lapping 1:41......you can compare my lines......
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0Y5tm...e=channel_page
my brake point, gear selection and lines change a fair bit since then....will up load the recent one soon

[Didz]

damn ur fast eddy, i just want my car to handle like yours :P

[air23box]

it take a lot of time to try out different setting, camber, damper setting and I'm still playing with brake point and stuff atm.....still have room to improve.....
