It's my pleasure, guys. Jason, just out of curiosity, did you get the private mail I sent you? Achim "jason moyer" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:[email hidden]...

Just before Parabolica, there's a little road that enters from the right (I don't know what that was in reality), and I use that as a reference. I brake a few yards (maybe one car length?) before that road ends. Achim "jason moyer" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:[email hidden]...

Are you referring to Curva Grande? For Parabolica, there's just fence on both sides, and some signs on the fence to the left and a bit of dark groove as reference points. I did some more practice and with a tad of trailbraking I can nail it fine by starting at the first groove point, so I guess I'm alright. One thing I find odd, after doing some more laps on the GPL tracks, is how tail-happy a stock car can be under braking. Most of the time everything's ok, but just a tad too much brake, not even necessarily locking a wheel, and suddenly the rearend wants to come around.

Erm, yes <g> At Parabolica I start braking a tad before where the brakemarkers start. As for the rear end, you might try increasing the rear weight, or setting the brake balance more to the front. Achim "jason moyer" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:[email hidden]...
