I don't even know how but I went from 2:09:761 down to a 2:04:455! Using Guy's setup with some changes to the Aero.

I kept trying the inside there in hope of bullying you into doing something silly but even if I had succeeded I couldn't have kept you behind down Kemmel.

I still had '7' for boost mapped to the same button in the logitech profiler from the last two rounds Oh well, it was good fun trying to defend into Les Combes by sitting in the left-centre of the track and then swerving back onto the racing line before the corner.

Perhaps a bit aggressive but I was running out of ideas to you keep you and the rest of the pack behind! Fun time Yeah with my setup the DRS added another 15 - 20 km/h to top speed. I had no trouble in keeping up with Bird on the straights at the start of the first race, the issue for me was that because Bird's setup was so slow in the corners I'd have to jam on the brakes and take evasive action and was slow coming out. Almost collected him once as it seemed so unusual. Once I figured out his pace in some of the corners I was right though.

Much more than Bacchulum's setup got. (I'd say about 10km/h extra, max, 180 vs 290 at the end of the straight) Logged Freezer RestrictedRacing Hero Member Posts: 1296 Karma: 33 Re: S5R6: Lotus Exos 125 at Spa - Post Race « Reply #24 on: February 26, 2015, 11:58:56 AM » Quote from: Simone on February 25, 2015, 09:56:45 PMfinally after few laps I had the golden chance to pass both due to an incident and putting my ass in 2nd but freezer thought differently and ...went long,,,it happens.... the secret to slow down and avoid the mess is an unknown art ,,but hey freezer no bad feelings Problem for me was that I was approaching your rear quite fast and working out which way to go. When I pulled out there were suddenly two cars going slow which was the last thing I expected to see in that part of the track. For a second I thought they were going to part and there was a half gap but it almost immediately disappeared and it was to late......
