Hi !

First i would like to thanks Mr Huttu for his fantastic Ring setup !

this WE i beat my PB at the ring from 8:18 to 8:13, now i'm attacking
hard the turns and it's more and more difficult to improve !!!
In the litlle turns, in 1st gear, I maintain some throtlle, is it a good
method ?
I would like to know if you had some advice to tell me to go under 8:10,
some specials tips, or if i just need to pass every turns a little
faster ?
Do you attack hard or still being smoth with the wheel and pedals ?

thanks for any helps

moreover, i notice that every time i manage to improve my Ring time i
always improve some other tracks times ! This times i could improve my
Rouen time from 1:58 to 1:56, the Ring is really a good practising
tracks because you have every type of turns !!!

pilot's regards,

Huh. Under 8:30 would be good for me (PB: 8:33, dammit - had a horrible
crunch at the last chicane that lost me five seconds).

I agree. Since I started doing the Ring more often (caused by a
combination of GPLRank and Ringtrainer), I've improved at Mexico and
Mosport by some way.

I think you've reached the point where you just have to really
concentrate on getting those extra couple of mph through and out of the
corners. :)

Oh yeah, one other thing.  I've noticed with my own Lotus setup that
it's quite difficult to get the fronts very hot.  I've tried to work on
increasing the temps there and it did seem to help as I got my PB down
to 8:05.14 even though the lap wasn't perfect.  I think all I did was
soften the front wheel rates a click.
