southy277 Posted June 29, 2011 Report Posted June 29, 2011 (edited) I have been racing and practicing a lot with the F1's this year but always seem to struggle on getting the F1's to grip. On tarmac when powering down the straight i can gently apply the power but i think i always get the setup too low or high geared and never find one where I can keep up with the guy in front. When entering the corners the car seems to push on too much no matter what I change on the setup and I just seem to slid too much. Do you think it could be down to driving style or am I missing a setup that needs changing. On shale it is mainly on getting the grip when applying the power – tried applying slowly but then the guy in front has increased the gap. I am still puzzled how the top guys can go to any track and still hit top times. Hat off to you if you can do that. The last question is would a G27 wheel compared to my sidewinder improve all this? Any help, advice would be appreciated. Edited June 29, 2011 by southy277
Mike Posted June 29, 2011 Report Posted June 29, 2011 If you have today some free time left I can practice with you and give you some advise setup wise and driving wise maybe. Tell me by what tracks or things you struggle with and I will try to help you out. I have a sidewinder wheel too, and can keep up with the top guys so don't think that that can give any problems. Don't spent that much money on a wheel lol. Mike
southy277 Posted June 29, 2011 Author Report Posted June 29, 2011 Thanks Mike. Unfortuantly i am at work...if thats what you call it when i spend my time on here lol I am having a few days off soon so i can give you a shout and if your available we can give it a go. Glad to hear some of the top guys use the sidewinder - mine is 10 year old and still going strong. I don't think i am far off but some tracks i just struggle with. Last night i tried a few different shale chassis's and found that i could control the car better on some tracks where i struggle with my current one. Does anyone else find this? Something to do with the way everything infront of you (mirrors, bonnet scoop etc) is displayed infront. Might be that I need to find a chassis i am comfortable with.
