I've been practising quite a lot in GPL and am at the stage where I'm
about in the middle of the field of AI cars (I usually qualify around
5th in a field of 10 or 10th in a round of 20). The big question now
is:
- apart from accelerating faster out of the corners and breaking
later, is there anything I can do to the car setup to make it quicker?
I'm guessing the former will have to come with more practice and
concentration (hopefully). I found reducing the amount of fuel and
adjusting the steering ratio quite helpful but I've left most of the
other settings as they were. I read somewhere that you should check
the tire temperatures and make adjustments to the camber and tire
pressure accordingly. Whenever I look at the 3 temperatures they
always seem to be almost the same (a couple of degrees out) so I'm not
sure if these adjustments will do more harm than good. Perhaps if I
start playing with the other settings (like suspension) the temps
might change more dramatically?
- I've been driving the eagle because I think it sounds better than
the other cars and seems to be more enjoyable (for me, anyway). Will I
need to switch to a different car if I want to go faster?
Thanks,
Mike.
