sensitive, well almost. In Gp2 I have it reduced somewhat.
In GPL i set it to full linear, and I think it is pretty good. In a real
racer, you do not have "long" movements, you seldom turn more than
90-100 deg, unless you are in a Stock Car or Rally car.
I have spent some hours on GPL now, and at first, I thought it
impossible to trail brake, but you can actually. The thing is to be
smooth, you need to get on the gas gently, but early. I am into the 07s,
and I found the last sec on braking late, letting the tail step out a
*tad*, and getting on the gas, stabilizing the car, not accelerating,
but giving it a burst of forward momentum to find some rear traction
again. Especially important in the loop and the last turn. Since I
started using these techniques, my spins are less frequent. I have done
25 laps in the 08s straight without spinning. It just takes some serious
concentration...:))
How the h*** I am supposed to get into the 06s I don't know....I am
truly impressed by those who can!!
Best,
Matt
