Hey, Ricky! If you are under 4 minutes in an N/A you certainly don't need to practice any more, you should be getting Schumacher's drive

Bollocks Great time though Still can't get a 'perfect' lap together Was 3 ish seconds up on my fastest about 2/3rd of the way around and just threw it off the circuit I find the final section braking from 145mph very difficult if you know you are on a very hot lap!

[snoopstah]

I know what you mean. I'm having the same trouble on another forum (for the car I owned previously) - I do really well in the first half and then screw up in the second half and end up doing the exact same lap time as before! I've also completely lost how to do the bit between the two Karussells, I keep on throwing it off the track or braking way too much. Really annoying when you're 6 minutes into a great lap

[speedyK]

Arrrrrrgh!

Late night session – over three seconds ahead, on for a low 8.23, well into the lap several times and lost it stupidly

Minimal improvement...

[clipping_point]

Are u running "Std Road tires" but in the soft compound?? Or is that cheating?

In arcade mode, for the VX and VXT, the default setting is Sports Medium* – this is what you can see on the screen shots under "Tyres" as the green letters, SM.

In the "tuned" category, anything goes. Fot the first two, no mods of any kind!

*If you have a look at these, the tread pattern looks like Yoko A048s

[garyk220]

Keith, why does the weight of the NA show as 850kg, when the corresponding weight for the VXT is shown as 1005kg (presumably including for a 80kg driver)? I know the turbo lump is heavy, but not by an extra 150kg
