Like many drivers out there I am amazed at some of the fast GP2 lap
times that are posted on the internet (how can they possibly do those
times) After a few weeks research of setups and such Ive finally found
out how they are being done. All that these so called fast drivers are
doing is setting up a fast almost uncontrolable car and then do lap
after lap untill one sticks .
eg By taking all the wing of the back and bumping up the gear ratio
you can achieve a top speed of around 330 km/h about 207 mp/h.
Keeping the front wing at 8 or 9 and moving brake bias forward will
give you all stopping and turning you need. The car however will be
very light in the tail this can be helped by using oposite lock help .
All thats left to do now is turn up the graphics to slow down the
action and go around and around and around and around and around
untill you stick a fast lap without crashing.
What a load of shit, I couldent be bothered . That is not what GP2 is
about .There is no way anyone could seriously race with one of these
setups its just a crash waiting to happen.
As far as im concerned dont bother with fast laps. Racing is full of
compromize what you loose in the straights you will gain somewhere
else in the race. For a true GP2 expierience dont modify the standard
setup to much, turn of all the help including traction and opposite
lock help and race at ace level .Who cares if your off the pace for a
while, your learning the race craft and thats what its all about
If you can win a 20 lap race from 10 th under these conditions then
that is an achievment
It wont be long untill were all in the same race, the winners will be
the racers, not the one lap wonders
some food for thought
