The biggest prob is the throttle, the 2nd the brake. I've to be very very carefully with the throttle, a little to much and i spin but if i'm careful i lost to much time per lap.
Risto drove at saturday in the quali 1:29 and i 1:36. That are 7s difference. Ok im never so fast like he and i would be happy with a difference of 3 or 4 sec but 7!!! The problem is the turn entry and exit. I've to wait til im thru the turn and then i can press the throttle.
The same is with the brake. I press a little to hard i spin and that with a good set. Got it from a driver here
Now my question:
Can anyone with the same wheel post his settings in windows and ingame. Maybe mine are wrong or im to stupid to run that mod. Never got these problems. Not with GT's or actually F1 cars. That was the reason why i didn't race yesterday. Btw grats Risto
Welcome to Legends, Rolf.
I don't currrently run TWF1 here at Legends [real world necessities] but I ran for several seasons in it and can offer up a little advice [FWIW]. As a measure of full disclosure, I was NOT what you'd consider a hotshot [by any means] but when on top of my game I was no slouch either!
As several of the guys have mentioned here proviously, the single most significant tool to getting faster at any track is putting in the laps. Practice, practice, practice. In fact, something I found very helpful especially if the track was new for me [and by mean one I had less than 500 laps in!] was during practice sessions to
NOT pay attention to laptimes. If you need something to look at, pay attention to tire temps and wear, also brake temps. The more laps you get in [the longer the stints the better] not focusing on laptimes, the more time you'll spend actually learning the track. You may find yourself doing a couple hundred laps at the same times then suddenly something will click and you'll see your times drop.
Setups- don't focus too hard on someone elses setups. Everyone is unique; what may work for the pole sitter might be utterly undriveable for the guy in second place. Do a little reading through the forums on the basics of setting up the car and learn what works for YOU, not someone else. The 'fastest' setup on track is no good if it's so hairy to drive that you cant finish a race using it.
Throttle - as Kat mentioned, throttle response has some to do with which car your driving. But I would also recommend looking at what your differential lock settings are. Power - the higher the number the less the car will want to rotate under heavy throttle. Coast - same idea, tyhe higher number the less the car will want to rotate when you're off throttle [entering the corner]. Finding the right balance will change with each track, along with your skill level. The better you get, even the number of laps you put in per track, will likely see these settings go lower, but don't think that just by lowering the settings you'll get faster! You won't. In fact, you'll likely get slower because you'll be back to spinning and feeling like the car is going to spin on you all the time.
Braking - If you're getting into trouble under braking because you're locking up the brakes, don't be afraid to lower the brake pressure setting. Some guys are very happy to feather the brake pedal and do just fine. Myself, when I reach the end of a long straight and am reacdy for MAX braking, I want to stomp my foot to the floor. Under almost all cars, in order to do this without locking up the brakes by mid pedal travel you must lower the brake pressure below 100%. For most seasons I drove the T4 Ferrari and my avg. brake pressure setting was between 80-85%. Again, very personal choice. Doing this in combination with bumping up the differential locking [coast] should help get the car more stable for you.
G25 - as for the G25, I'm not sure that tweaking the settings on it will make a big difference but I know there are at least a couple of threads here for suggestions on how to set it up.
