Best Lap Time Using Keyboard

by r.. » Sat, 17 Aug 1996 04:00:00

I've managed to get a lap time of 1:24:213 for monza using the
keyboard with auto gears & anti skid (F7 Help Key). I dont seem to be
able to acheive faster time by removing these help items. So if the
Keyboard is the best for doing fast laps I must have a setup problem.

Time = 1:24.213
Circuit = Monza
Car = Williams Car 2
Control Method = Keyboard with autogears & Throttle Help
Front Wing = 10
Rear Wing = 2
Gear Ratio 6 = 63.xx
Top speed on straight = 202MPH

I seem to be loosing aproximatley 2.3 Seconds on the second split as
compared to the Hot Lap download from GP2 home page.

Any advise on changing setup would be great.

The way i do it , i setup the car to oversteer a lot to be fast in the
fast curves...i use pratically no wings ( 2F/1R) and i get 330-332 on
the back straight and the S/F straight. You should set the gear
so that you get the fastest acceleration after the slower curves
(reduce front anti-roll bar etc)

This is the first circuit I am testing and setting my car to ...so far
I got 1:22:802 but i gave my setup to a friend who was not able
to beat 1:23:889 and he quickly got a 1:22:382...
(that is using an analog joystick with no steering help)

good luck
hope it helps a little
