Ditto that. I've got into the 1:27s in pro mode, I maybe able to squeeze another second or 2 but would never get near 1:22

I know this problem... ~1:26.5 and can't break into 1.25... but damn this game is good.

AF x16, AA x8, medium shadows, low/3x cube map, 1280x1024, hdr on... 90fps.
on 5850, 4gb ddr2 800 and... intel pentium dc e5200 @3.15ghz.

Managed to knock another 2 seconds off my time by altereing the steering lock in the setting. I noticed that I wasn't getting a very good turning circle after using the wizard. Much better now.

Let me present the following situation:
Noob that never used a wheel to play racing games + DFGT + ACTP = the drunkest driving ever.

The best I managed was 1:32, I have no possible clue how to get 10 seconds less than that with a wheel. I watch videos of people going faster on the same corners I have to CRAWL or else I'll end off track, and I can't understand why, this lack of ability is driving me crazy. X___X

Can someone give me a few tips on how I should approach the corners to go through them faster?

 

[stenyak]

Using pro settings/g25/900º/h-shifter/100FPS, I've barely managed a mid 1:24. From what I read, 1:22 is possible with some traction control, but what is the current record for pro settings?

21 lol

All time you see in the list is possible with PRO settings. Even faster times like 21.

 

[Kacper Kolodziejczyk]

For now I've just got close to 1:23, still a lot of things to improve but for now this is my lap

(I'm using an amplified compressor.wav file for the effect I've seen on many Elise SC videos, and using carbon fiber as a pattern on the car, both of which I either got the idea or found from the official AC forum )

 

[Hampus Andersson]

Had a small time gain before i decide to drink beer instead. Figured i will only make more mistakes the more you are hunting for that 22

Funny thing is that it´s an identical time to Lee

 

[Michael Hornbuckle]

I can't believe I'm only 7/10ths off of you Hampus....that would have never happened in a certain $1000 game...lol

I blame input lag

Ah I misread some post then. My lack of skills is then confirmed!

I think given how well the car puts down power to the road traction control may slow you down if anything, I haven't actually tried it but I can't imagine it would help you go faster. Depending on how you approach the lap the stability can help you go faster, but it also makes the car understeer a fair bit, in the low speed this slows you down quite noticeably to the point where you're driving around the understeer issue created by the stability.

On the other hand the stability can help you in the high speed corners, especially after the high speed straight. If you get the braking right though you don't need the stability to go through there at full speed and the final few corners in the low/medium speed prefer an agile car which again favours no stability.

Ultimately I think the fastest way may just be with no aids, in other words PRO is the fastest way.

It interests me very much how new Exige S V6 will work in AC. Because in most reviews of this car says that the car is faster with TC turned ON as it 'learns' the track and conditions on it. It's because of the new Bosch TC unit.
I'm really intrigued how Kunos will solve this problem.

 

[Salajutsu]

Was at 1:23.9 for a while, and managed finally better

1m24s738 - nijeat

My almost perfect one lap. 1m24s738 haha. Yes, bad indeed.
I have no any clues how to be fast beyond this. For the last 3 years I've been doing race games only three to four times a year, hence when I first watched the TP preview videos of others I've thought I could score um....around 1m23? haha I was overly optimistic on myself. But of course not now..

Any advice for me would be appreciated.

I'm now regulary in 26.5 Had a chance to break into 1.25 yesterday... but you know.... sand, oversteer, elise... these words don't like each other.

Also using only right foot to accelerate and brake isn't helping me and DFP pedals has too much space between to use heel and toe.

I'm running similar times as you, but I think you have margin, you're not using the full width of the track (e.g. in the last corner). That should give you some tenths.

1.23.082

No aids with 900deg steering, but I used paddle shifters.

Can't go faster anymore, but it was fun trying, even though I don't like racing street cars in general

Nice
That´s probably 4-5cm between each other. If even that.
