I've made 1'54"97 at SPA, quite far away from the 1'50"5 of Jacques Villeneuve (driver X). I need reference from other players, Is it good or bad ? It seems that I can't go any faster. Any tips ? Sophal.

Not good, my best is 1m51, and mine is not good either. I'mracing online using Kali, and i saw time in 1m47, 1m48, so i'm still far of these time and you too!!!! > I've made 1'54"97 at SPA, quite far away from the 1'50"5 of Jacques > Villeneuve (driver X). > I need reference from other players, Is it good or bad ? > It seems that I can't go any faster.

I have had 1 lap timed at 1m49 which I wont repeat for a long while...damn lucky lap. My usual times are around the 1m51's... 1. Reduce the rear wing 2. Soften your suspension 3. Less front roll bar These are just general idea's....for me its just driving the line correctly. The difference between a wonderful lap and shit is real real fine. PAPA DOC

I always thought the key was La Source. When I got around that corner fast, my lap times were good. When I had problems at La Source, so did my lap times :-) At one point I thought La Source might have gotten it's name because it was the source of a good lap time at Spa. Just a guess though. -- Header intentionally scrambled to ward off the spamming hordes. >I have had 1 lap timed at 1m49 which I wont repeat for a long >while...damn lucky lap.

I started thinking about what I thought was the most critical section and ended feeling like they were all fairly critical...hehe. But to me Bus Stop is pretty important...the run up and execution of the chicane are crucial in my eyes. Pierre PAPA DOC Legrand

There's an online competition going on at the moment at Spa. Best no-help race laps on C tyres seem to be High 1:46s / Low 1:47s. My best race lap is 1:47.1 - On Ds I can do low 1:46s. If you want the setup - email me. Regards -- Neil Charlton http://www.charlt.demon.co.uk/ --

The most crucial sections at Spa IMO are La Source, Eau Rouge and Stavelot, since following every one of these corners is a long 190mph straight. Any error exiting these corners will lose you time all the way along the straight, and really hurt the lap time. That's part of why Spa is so great, some real tough high speed turns like Blanchimont and Eau Rouge, long high-speed straights, and tricky twists like Les Combes and Bus Stop as well. Excellent :-) Cheers! John

Well , at the current race at SPA-Franchorchamp the record for a 25% race (11 laps) is astonishing: 19:57,966 , Divide by 11 = 01:48,906 average lap and this includes starting from the grid, with a first lap somewhat off that pace ! By the way , time is set by Greg Hellmamn, from Germany Nick F1RS On-Line Racing ------------------------------------------------- Web Site: http://hjem.get2net.dk/nkj/index.htm ------------------------------------------------- Nick Jensen Danish Racing Team -------------------------------------------------
