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.

You flatter me IMac! Makes me feel good that some people still
remember my name from way back If anyone is still following this thread, I found that you have to be in the right car to run those low lap times. The McLaren or the Renault seem to be fastest. I haven't been back to Montreal with one of those cars yet, but I did run a 1:31 at Nuerburg where I was stuck at 1:35's with a Ferrari. At this point, I don't have much faith in the hotlap records posted on racecast. It's way too easy to cut the track in rfactor right now. Hope they do something about it!

Un#$%^ingbelievable. THIRD LAP at Montreal in a Renault I turned a
1:11.7. That lap should show up on racecast. The WR rankings are pointless. All it depends on is how much you want to cut the track. I have no interest in driving that way. Fortunately, I'm not seeing much track cutting so far while racing online. So, to summarize, switch to a Renault, pump the boost up to 10, and you'll pick up 6 to 8 seconds a lap. Whew!

Montreal has a one section where you can cut to gain a lot of time
(chicane), but everyone is playing by the same rules so our laps are still good IMO. As for the other tracks that I've submitted times for with the CTDP F1 mod, I know of no section where someone can cut to gain time. I have replays I can send you of Nurburgring and Silverstone (Northamptonshire) where I don't do any cutting and my times are at the top of the Racecast rankings. The Nurburgring replay I have is the same one as the Racecast lap (127.539). I don't have a replay of my Silverstone or Montreal Racecast hotlap. The reason I don't have those two hotlaps is because I am having a big problem with system reboots (10 the other night at a Racer event) when I leave the track or the garage and enter the main screen. Hotlaps and session replays are lost if the game crashes. You might remember me having this problem during the Megane/Birmingham RACER race that we both participated in not too long ago. They restarted the weekend for me when I was rebooted right before the race start and we ended up with a lottery grid. Luckily I do have my second quickest Silverstone online hotlap. It's just .1 slower than my current Racecast hotlap (118.539), and would still be good for third place and not too far from the WR. When I have time I'll do another session at Montreal. I honestly can't think of anywhere someone might cut on those two tracks and gain time. Barcelona is the next track I'll try, and I can't think where someone would cut there either. My replays prove that at least at those two F1 tracks, the fastest Racecast times are legit. Just let me know if you want them sent to your e-mail address. -- David G Fisher > wrote in message ups.com... > Un#$%^ingbelievable. THIRD LAP at Montreal in a Renault I turned a > 1:11.7.

They are 'good' laps according to the rules. No doubt about that. My only point is that where in the past I've always felt compelled to try and turn world record laps in sims, I don't have any interest in doing that if it requires cutting the track. I can pop out a 1:12 lap at will, but how rewarding is that? I can only do about a 1:15 flat right now while running realistic lines in the corners. By the way, you can also save time by cutting straight across the last S-turn, right after the bridge. Just turn in early, barely missing the bridge, and head straight across toward the exit of the turn. > As for the other tracks that I've submitted times for with the CTDP F1 mod, > I know of no section where someone can cut to gain time.

The other tracks do seem less likely to reward track cutting. I haven't tried it at all, though. I would like to see those replays. Send them to . Pat Dotson |
