    Re: HLC Season 2 Resumes! - Wk 5 Stock Challenge!

    it's not the last corner that gets me it's taking speed into the first turn then keeping it flat through the next left hander that's killing my laps .... put down about 20 laps today to get to a 1:39.3XX If I could only nail the first section I's take 3-4 tenths off that time.

    oh and the uphill right hander !?!?! 3rd or 4th I just can't make up my mind whats faster Indifferent [:|]

    Hmm...I must be missing something.

    How fast are you going at the apex?

    on the uphill keep it 89-91, because after that you start drifting out and you lose you line.

    Re: HLC Season 2 Resumes! - Wk 5 Stock Challenge!

    Allright! I was definitely taking the wrong line on that turn. I can make that the turn at 90mph+ now and I dropped about .5 of my time.

    Still hovering annoyingly close to breaking the 1:40 mark though. .026 to go and I'll be satisfied.

    Re: HLC Season 2 Resumes! - Wk 5 Stock Challenge!

    as the guys said 90-91 at the apex. keeping it in 4th seems to make you faster all the way through the chicane section by around 3-4mph

    LoCo, I like this track so much that I really don't care what I'm driving.

    You have to admit, that the Electrically adjustable four-way lumbar adjustment and Audi audio Sound System with Seven active speakers and Five-channel DSP amplifier with a total output of 140 watts really does make up for just about everything... except maybe that last corner ;) LOL.

    Yeah I love this track and don't car what I'm driving on it. But turn 3 after the long straight is kickin my behind in this car, can't really use my high in - low out method on it.

    That las corner can be real easy or send you into the wall if you wait to late to make yur turn. I'd love to get down into the 39's but thats probably not going to happen. I normally wouldn't even be anywhere near the top 100 on any other track.

    In this car, I brake early for turn three, then coast the car down towards the inside rumble strip. As soon as you can see out of the corner, get back on the gas and aim for the outside of turn 4.

    LMAO!!! soo true.... 

    P.S. Last turn is a lil tricky. Right when you hit the turn, the car oversteers (slightly), so when you hit the apex of the turn, you have to counter streer(but dont over correct beacuse you will end up in the wall). If you get it right, you can cross the line at about 140-143mph.

    Re: HLC Season 2 Resumes! - Wk 5 Stock Challenge!

    Yeah I think my fastest was about 143 across the line, so sounds like I'm hitting that corner right! lol. Need to go back and watch AJtheBoy's video he posted, maybe I can pick up some time from watching him.

    I really wish you could choose a ghost to race against to see exactly where I'm going wrong.

    The shadows on the track before the corner provide a pretty good turn marker, though. There's a big shadow blop from some trees right at where you should start turning into the corner.

    It's a really early turn. Surprisiginly I haven't yet brushed the inside wall once. You really gotta hug it to make that turn right.

    Turn 3 is my achilles heel. I have never been able to make that consistently with any car.

    Re: HLC Season 2 Resumes! - Wk 5 Stock Challenge!

    I have a terrible time, and I am crossing the start/finish line at about 146/147 on a good lap........

    Re: HLC Season 2 Resumes! - Wk 5 Stock Challenge!

    Yea i have crossed the line at 148, but it seems like the slower i am on the final stretch i get faster 1st checkpiont.

     gorbachev, i  use that method also. Another thing you can use the shadows for is to check your speed, that helps you keep consistant.

    Oh yea an what tire-pressure do you guys run with. I do 31 front 33 back. It makes the car a bit more responsive.
