iSpeed and similar telemetry programs are one of the wonders of the modern world. It allows you to try a line through a corner and instantly see if it was better or worse than your previous line. It makes learning new tracks much faster than the old method of try a different line on 1 corner and see what difference it makes to the overall lap time.

Kind of pointless unless you want to drive the F1 though. Well done though!

That's why I bought the game originally (2 years ago)... But I don't really want to drive the F1 much now.

It is not really the most fun car I have to say. Maybe if it was more popular I might change my tune. Its fast, but kind of boring.

Problem with being A class now is you will struggle to get any SR in the lower races.

Honestly, I spend 99% of my time in the practice sessions anyway. Once I got to C/B class, there were no official races in our timezone. The only things that's given me a big leap towards A class was the recent 120mins of thunder race.

Rob, I've been comparing our laps in the data-mart. I seem to be losing most of my time on the 2nd corner which I suspected. I am not too far off the pace though! Part of my problem is I don't really have a braking marker for that corner, I kind of just brake after the 200m mark but are there any visual clues you use?

Also, I dropped my brake bias a little and that really helped with turn in! I used to not be able to handle it but it doesn't feel too bad.

Thanks and excellent, I noticed your post the other day asking for a Dallara, so my pleasure to provide.

NB: Requests for other cars and I will see what I can do

Any chance of a radical Rhett? Leading the championship in my hosted Rad series so it woud be good to fly OCAU colours for the final two rounds.

We brake at the same spot Martin, but have a look at the difference in this pic. I brake softer, but for longer, take a tighter line, and get back to full throttle earlier. So I think you are losing too much speed at corner entry, then trying to hustle the apex, which means it takes longer to be able to put the power down. Basically brake less and youll go faster
