@teamredlinesim can i see the setup he used?

[ghuttu]

@parampam92 Hey, you can find the setup on the Team Redline site. I should probably upload the setups I used in the Intel GP final but I think they're very similar.

[parampam92]

@ghuttu wow thanks! it such a great honor to get my comment replied by the guy himself :D oh anyway, congrats for your second consecutive victory at watkins! hope you can keep up the good trend and goodluck at sebring on 18.

wow, he can do low 1:18's and i have to drive my ass off to get a 1:20, how does he do that

[kloijhi]

where i can get setup? or what is a basic idea of this setup?

[effuno]

superb. Can't find many better videos to learn from. . :)

If u don't mind me asking, seems like he is on full throttle even while shifting. Was that made possible by the old transmission model ?

if so, what has changed in the new transmission model ?

Also, is it left foot for clutch, and right foot braking ( heal-n-toe, when required ?) or is clutch mapped to any button ?

sorry if it was too basic. I'm a sim racing newbie. :)

[teamredlinesim]

@effuno You don't need the clutch in this car for downshifting. With the new transmission model you just basically have to be off the throttle while downshifting. You don't even need to blip the throttle.

This lap was done almost two years ago so it was with the old transmission model which allowed for the throttle downshifting.

It's possible to assign a clutch to a button for use in downshifts so you can still use throttle at the same time... or use a macro but those are evil.

[effuno]

@teamredlinesim thank u for the reply. do u keep it floored while upshifting (new transmission model, i.e)

[juanherrera73]

Great lap ! I'm still doing 1:25... :(

[Lafsdave]

man its a fast lap!!!! im using ur setup but i can'T go close to that

[debougie]

awesome! may I ask what configuration you are using for downforce?

[teamredlinesim]

Max downforce config, so I believe the max rear wing is 34 and front wing somewhere around 27.

[kkfan91]

is it just me or are you going wide in a couple corners and getting up on the rumble strips it hink if you could avoid that you could drop a little bit of time

[Petrucciisgod123]

@kkfan91 .... Hitting the "rumble strips" is the fastest way around the track.

[kkfan91]

@Petrucciisgod123 for NASCAR, I'm pretty sure its bad for an open wheel cars suspension

[Petrucciisgod123]

@kkfan91 Go watch any video of any open wheel car on Laguna Seca. They are just little bumps... I'd imagine the 3gs of cornering load on the suspension would be a bit more stressful.

[vir123456]

What is your setup like? !!! I cannot get my car to accelerate like that.

[05pricej]

it looks like your using auto clutch.. am i right?

[teamredlinesim]

No auto clutch, no helps.

[05pricej]

One last question, sequential shifting or not?

[teamredlinesim]

Yes, I think this car only has that option:)

[fabdj]

jeeez if that is fast!
