You'll get there your a damn fast driver! Nobody thought you'd win Round 1 of the TRC (i bet even u didnt think you would)

And if i remember rightly theres no ABS in that either. it took me a while to get used to it too, but once you do you can brake so much better and it really does make you faster. Stick with it, the Minis is a great place to learn skills you'll need in other TORA events.

(You gave me possibly the best battle ive ever had at the TRC Gravel Test! if you can drive like that you'll do ok Razz

im quicker in fwd drive cars than any others so id like to push for a lobby A meeting

Yeah stick with it man. You only get better by racing and practicing. I found that by putting the brake pressure high at like 120% helped coz it encourages you not to slam them on.

Hey hey hey dont do that at all Im sure I will join you at the back of the grid, the more you race the better you get, ever heard of me on the track? no, if you have heard about me its cos I attended the first ever race thats my claim to fame and not cos Im a fast racer. alot of the battles at the back of the grid are better then them at the front I feel in same races

I'll see you there then Smile

TBH, I had a 'change of heart' overnight. I guess I was just getting a bit frustrated.

Its easy done mate. But a bit of healthy competition will only get you wanting more. In my first season here i came in the bottom three in every single race i entered. And its only through driving with these guys that has made me improve. And now im doing much better and its all down to sticking with it through the good and the bad.

by RaceProUK Tue 9 Feb 2010 - 11:21

Could I ask the WWR guys for a big favour: can I get the tune from your storefront, but unlocked? I really like the balance, but want to be able to adjust the brake pressure.

by lfcnicklfc Tue 9 Feb 2010 - 13:59

You cant sell it unlocked

by RaceProUK Tue 9 Feb 2010 - 14:18

I know that (I've bought it already) - I'd just like to be able to change the brake pressure to 80%.

by Ax4x Chaddy Tue 9 Feb 2010 - 18:14

use ur on tune it ll be faster

I HATE THIS CAR !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

by RaceProUK Tue 9 Feb 2010 - 22:06

The rear don't stick guv!

Seriously though, I may just work on my own tune for Maple.

1:34.29 at Atlanta - a lot better than I thought I'd do. Sadly not consistent.

by nickyf1 Tue 9 Feb 2010 - 23:45

I had to stop the rear end slipping by using the throttle and break at points to keep it in check!

Managed to do a 1:32.2 during race 1, had no idea how i did that!

by WWR Chillz Mon 22 Feb 2010 - 0:23

Maple Valley - 1:38.015
Can get into the 37's. Will do it tomorrow. Laughing

by HCR generaltso Mon 22 Feb 2010 - 19:28

1:42's using the road atlanta build.

by Ax4x Chaddy Mon 22 Feb 2010 - 22:44

by lfcnicklfc Tue 23 Feb 2010 - 16:15

1.40.141 a 1.39 is definately possible Very Happy

by RaceProUK Tue 23 Feb 2010 - 17:11

For you talented people it is Razz

I'm struggling around 1:43-1:47 (still getting used to no ABS).

by nickyf1 Sun 4 Apr 2010 - 15:05

2.06.6 is my best so far, I could easily do a 2.05 but my car just cant help going sideways through some of the faster corners at the far end of the circuit..

by **CQR Aero** Tue 6 Apr 2010 - 18:47

any more mugello (full) times? i have a half second penalty to serve.

by **Richy59** Tue 6 Apr 2010 - 19:12

2:06.3 but that was on lap 2...could be better

EDIT

2:05.3
