I'm sure it would be possible, and indeed laptimes show that it must
be. The TSW certainly has more usable pedal travel than any of the CDS
models I've tried, and this makes for more adjustable braking for me.
Cheers!

For that much I can get two nice double-adjustable Koni shocks for my REAL
car. At some point with this simulation silliness, it becomes cheaper to
go buy a real car!

1. Symmetrical setups are easier to drive. The defaults for the
first two tracks you're likely to try (Monza, Watkins) are assym.
Change them. No more than 2 clutches in the diff.
2. Frame rate matters. If your hardware and settings aren't giving
you 30+, it's harder.
3. One word. Ferrari. Avoid the Lotus at all costs, the Eagle is
doable, particularly at Watkins.
4. Get on the brakes faster, get on the gas slower.

1:36 - Monza,Ferrari(I know the top speed sucks))

He-he... Too late. I never go pit out unless I've gotten a few sips of that
good Rioja.
(IRL however it's a total no-no to drink and drive, of course).

The ferrari sounds like you are going incredibly fast, but in the end,
I, at least, wasn't.
So funny you should say this. I've noticed that even the slightest
amount of alchol takes a toll. Everyone should try this (only with
their sim! And not online! ) sometime, if only to convince themselves
of just how much driving and alchol don't mix. It is really
incredible.
You realize that while you can sort of navigate a familliar track
(though not as well), your ability to manage a driving crisis is
completely obliterated even well before drunk. It isn't that I don't
see the crisis... there just seems to be such a lazy-like feeling
about trying to figure them out!
I wonder if avid sim racers drink less than the average population.
Certainly the hobby doesn't suit drinking, at least in my case.
