lap time: 1:27.4

If I am not mistaken are you using a Wheel and manual/clutch ?  

Manual Clutch: yes
Wheel: I dont think so

If he is not using a wheel then I want to know HOW can you be so smooth with a de-pad ? Settings ?

Could be deadzones, but it really comes down to how you coordinate moving the stick with throttle and brake inputs.

   And how do you do this sir?

Deadzones or the other bit?

It's all about smooth movements, not jerking the stick left or right
Some people say to roll the stick bit idk how you do that

Somehow got an 1.27.8 then next lap 1.27.4, I have no clue how that happened but   

Sunset is a highly risky track, especially pack racing, I suggest people get the hang of practicing taking that first corner smooth and flat out against their own ghost.

Not only will you improve your times by seeing where you're improving or failing, you will also get a feel of what its like to not have clear track.

Oh and 1 Major rule come race day, DON'T BE A HERO!, Don't want to see 2-3 cars overtaking on the inside line of Turn 1.

Not even at the start?  

After a few laps last night before bedtime I was managing a 1.27 as a consistent lap in the Viper so happy with that improvement. Just need to tweak the tune a little more and I might be able to get it down even further.

Both pleases sir.

I meant when we're all doing 170-180MPH haha

Managing to squeeze in the odd 26.8 and 26.9 now and then.

Finding the Ford GT a bit tricky to balance through the infield - had to add some front DF which has top speed down to 175/6 mph into Turn 1.

Any one can explain how it work, and how i need to use deadzones?

I wouldn't worry about the Deadzones, its only really there for Wheels users and Old/Dodgy controllers.

I use a fanatec csr

Turn 1 terrifies me. I kept hitting it when I was practising, I either turn in too early or too late.

I've got a wheel but I don't actually use it for xbox.

Its a pity the Logitec G27 wheel wouldnt work on the xbox or id be in my element and possibly challenging in this series :p jokes, im happy to make up the numbers with a high 1.29 in the R8

So do I pal, I dont use any deadzones at all on mine. Find that I have my 'SEN' at about 190/220 and 'DRI' at 005 gives you all the turn in and that lot you need.

...like in testing when some of us went five-wide through the kink at the start

That was insane, need a photo of it somewhere

Yea it's just gonna take some concentration, courtesy and communication to get through that first section, especially after pitting, so I suggest people get some practice within the next couple weeks.

I know I will be haha

POST!

I would want to see that haha!

Abruzzi sucks around Sunset. Top speed is not high enough and the corners are not good for the Abruzzi either. Abruzzi is good in fast corners and (very) slow corners. The corners around Sunset are in between.

Just a slight correction
