Aint that first corner a pain to get the rubber down.

I find it difficult to get a consistent angle of entry into the corner, i'm different each time  lol  especially on the exit. It's an interesting track, alot of open road with some interesting corners. It's fun

[AdZVaughan]

Has anybody got any tips on this track. Driving Lines etc because this is one of my slowest circuits.

Cheers.

Cut them chicanes lol. The 1st ones hard, maybe best to avoid.
The 2nd can be more or less a straight line through, its just finding the right speed to enter it at.
Look at the width of each rumble strip. there the width of the car. Get where am coming from? Straight across!

The next two bends, both 90 rights are pretty straight forwards. Make sure you take the 1st one slightly slower as its tighter, but doesn't seem it. The 2nd has a wider run off, so use it.

Then Ascari! it can be made or broke here but get it right and you can fly throught. I normall cut the first part as you steer in left trying to make it as straight as pos for the right hand middle part as this cant be cut, is just kurb and gravel which pulls you in. Same as the inside of the exit.

Then down the long straight to the long parabolica. Use caution on this finding the breaking points easy, its the exit point that's hard it just keeps on opening out. To much throttle to early and you'll be in the gravel.

Look at me helping you out. Its me that cant keep up with you lol. Hope it helps tho.

Thanks alot ytevo. The first chicane I cut but not alot. I see what you mean know just jump across them. Cheating but if everyone else at the top of the time trials is doing it then why should they have an unfair advantage. Needs to be sorted tbh but if people are gwettin an advantage by it then im doing it too lol. I will enver do it online racing though. I think the first chicane and the last corner parabolica that are my probleams. I also think I could push it more on the 2 lemos if i straighten of my exit more on the second one.

[ytevo79]

The 1st chicane is hard as it has bumps on it which sends you in any direction it wants lol.
But most of the others have an area that's hard to see, but lets you cut the corners, straightening it out. Even with penalties on, its only if you hit the gravel/run off areas that it thinks your cheating.

But yeah just experiment to see what you can get away with. Because at the end of the lap it can mean saving seconds on your time. Which as we no in motorsports  a second to them is like a day for us.

Thanks ytevo79! I have been able to cut .7 off of my lap time. My best lap is 1.53.2. though it is off the pace I feel its an improvement. I need to work on my braking points.

[ytevo79]

Have you tried with the racing line on? Thats best way to get good at it then turn it off and try breaking that bit later as the racing lines just a guide really.
