I Must be Getting Slow
How are people doing 1:12's at the Canada track in the FIA 2005 rFactor
F1 mod? I've seen that online. I suppose there are probably people doing 1:10's! Well, I'm stuck at around 1:18 at best. I had several racecast world records in F3's, McLarens, etc., so I can drive OK. Is this a setup deal? If it is, does anyone have a link to a fast setup? It sure doesn't feel like I'm leaving six seconds on the table! What are the real F1 lap times at that track? Pat Dotson |

Pat,
There is plenty of cutting that takes place I am sure. It seems that there is no out of bounds. Not to say that guys aren't fast, but the game issues no warnings that I have seen.

I beat the WR time with a 111.4 so I guess I should comment on this topic. It's not listed at Racecast yet because my Racecast account is on the fritz the past couple of days and my times are all screwed up. Adam is working on it. I use medium TC. No aids. This week I also posted the Racecast WR time at Nuerburg and the second best time at Northamptonshire. The only place at Montreal where someone can cut to gain time is the last chicane before the front stretch. The game willl give you a warning and not count the lap if you cut too much though. When approaching the WR time, I had to assume that others had pushed the in game penalty system to it's limit, so that's what I did. Mid 112's were no problem though even when I ran a perfect line throughout the track, including the chicane. I'd like to see ISI make an adjustment there in their next update, but then any cars that get offline due to traffic or an honest mistake will likely be hit with an unfair track cutting penalty. In real F1, quite a few drivers have trouble there in the race each year, which is probably why ISI has the penalty system set the way it is. Maybe some speed bumps that wouldn't cause damage to your car when taken at low speeds would be an option. Similiar to those in the grass at the last chicane at Toban. -- David G Fisher |

How about a replay and a setup? Have you tweaked the setup
extensively? I just don't see a 1:11 happening for me without some major change. I mean, unless there is some blatant track cutting going on. I've already tried putting two wheels in the grass through the S-turns with no major gains. I did get down to a 1:16.5, but that was on a clean lap, and that's still 5 seconds off the pace! OK, how about answering this... In what gear are you taking the S-turns? I'm dropping to 1st for what is probably about turn 5 or 6, and for the last hairpin before the long straight. I'm in second through all the other S-type turns. I could probably blow through them in third but not while hitting a realistic apex. From what I saw online, there didn't seem to be a lot of track cutting going on. Most of my gains were found tweaking the differential. I found that with traction control enabled the car is more comfortable with full power lockup and no coast lockup.

OK, I'm not so slow after all. Read on RSC where you can turn
incremental boost up and down. It's at 5/10 by default. I bumped it up to 10 and ran a 1:14 on my second lap. So turn up your boost! Secondly, my throttle pot is hosed, so I'm running at about 80% throttle most of the time. Gonna have to get it fixed. David G Fisher, please post a replay of that 1:11 lap somewhere so we can see your awesome driving technique! Pat Dotson wrote: > How about a replay and a setup?
