Unofficial pro-sim V8 test - Queensland

Bettered my 3 lap time by a few tenths....but every tenth counts in pro-sim....did a 3m.17.41.....2nd & final lap were both in the 03's but my 1st lap was a bit down on last time....
3 LAP TIMES:
1.Vuko Snr...3m.17.41
2.BobZee.....3m.17.62
3.J.Shell.......3m.22.60
4.dcr22B......3m.23.19
I've actually been driving the Beta Electric Ford....I might change to Ford for this years series...they have offered me good money....keep the 3 lap times coming in..for practice!! I will put up a different track next week after the GT race.

I'm really starting to get the hang of this, I'm now down to a 3m 22.10s with a best lap of 1m04.20s

Funnily enough, despite my scepticism about the the Pro-sim set-up, I'm closer to the top guys than I was in normal sim (now if only I had a steering wheel, could I be even closer??).

Speaking of wheels, I think I might get myself a Logitech G25 for my 30th at the end of the month, I'm buying a PS3 in Hong Kong when I'm on my honeymoon!

Yes, but you need some time to practice. I don't think that my time is possible
when you play on controller.

After the great battle with other Holden: 3:16.50 with fastest lap: 1:03.52. It's really hard to overtake AI cars here because they have faster cars ! I try next time with qualifying.

Free tyres for race or mandatory 0.50 compound?

I agree Piotr, I'm well and truly on the edge with that time I posted this morning but I was using my own set-ups. I'll go and try your set-up this evening and see does it make any improvement.

The main reason that I'll be buying the wheel is for my PS3 but if it improves my times on the PS2, I'll be well chuffed with that as well.

thanks for sharing your set up info guys :D

seems the key for that first corner for me is to let off the throttle early, like peter said, then reall feather it and hold is gently steady through the corner.

can anyone take that first turn flat out?

me thinks I'll give the 3 lapper another go :up:

the first turn isn't flat out..but the next right hander is..even on a controller. Although you have to take the right line. Start too wide, and you'll run wide, crash and then burn to death again

Shaved off over a second over the 3 laps...We are all getting quicker...throttle work is so important in pro-sim....when you get it right it is very rewarding!
