Ok, here's a question that I've been saving about the Truxton circuit until after the hot lap compo. I don't understand how come I'm so far off the pace. I can lap just about flat out the entire time, slowing only for turn 3 (right hander) and the chicane at the end, yet I'm 5 seconds off the pace! Has anyone got any tips they'd care to share? TIA (Hopefully), Ross.
What is the pace? Try changing downforce settings (you don't need much but watch out for chicane) and different gear ratios. Cheers, PeteMc

This week's winner at [link lost in import] finished with a time of 1:02:81 in a Primera. Like the original poster I'm also five seconds off the pace even with downforce/gear tweaking. Either I'm really *** (likely) or they had figured out a way to bypass the chicane - the rest of the course is virtually flat out. Now to try and win 200 on Silverstone....

It would be nice of Codemasters to post a saved replay of a sub 1:03 lap. One might actually learn something... Ah, how come Silverstone is always the most entertaining circuit in any game featuring it? Maybe because it actually _is_ the "best" circuit out there? -- _____________________________________________________________________________ Non serviam. Who needs rhetorical questions?
