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, -- Sebastien Tixier Susuki 650 SVS - Half Driving Licence (MagicFr) GPLRank handicap -24.43 Game Developper personal : http://magicfr.multimania.com company : http://www.eden-studios.fr

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. :) <snip> -- Peter Ives - (AKA Ivington) No person's opinions can be said to be more correct than another's, because each is the sole judge of his or her own experience.

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. -- Peter Ives - (AKA Ivington) No person's opinions can be said to be more correct than another's, because each is the sole judge of his or her own experience.

Maybe it could help me ! i'll try this, thank you ! Seb
