at mugello it was achill and pr3dator to the line on the 25 lapper, I got lapped twice infact but it may of only been once but jenson sent me a msg so I pulled over to read it as he lost his internet connection in the race

honestly don't know how i'll cope with the 25 laps. Completing the endurance races on single player was torturous, i'm one of those folk with a short attention span, and the smoking thing, could possibly end in disaster with me crashing.

I live in a busy house awell, ppl always back & forth doin my nut in.

Another thing is the internet connection. Its dire. Good chance i'll get dc'd before the end :cry:

i quite like the endurance racing aspect...hell thats why I set it up! I sort of do it for real to so its natura for me to do long races. The only issues for me will be my 360 overheating and dying on me and/or my wireless connection cutting out, which happens from time to time....as it did at Mugello.
Also we DO have issues with XBL generally so the 25 lapper may be cut to 10 more often depending on how quickly we can get everyone sorted and up and running.

First time I ran my Viper around Leguna Seca I got a 1:26.424, the corkscrew is really messing me up since I'm not used to doing it without ABS. Hopefully some tuning might bring that time down.

Turn your brake pressure down to something like 65%, get used to not locking the brakes up. Then gradually increase it by small amounts until you feel comfortable. You'll find that before long it'll be back to 100% and you'll be confident without ABS.

Driving a car in Forza has to be treated the same as if a real car, you cant just stab the brakes on, or throttle for that matter. It needs to be smooth and progressive.

That what i done and i never use ABS, might not work for all though.

PS definately wouldn't go less than 65% or you wont make the corners, and using the viper maybe consider changing the brake bias towards the front as its slightly front heavy if i remember rightly, that might also help your turn in if you trail the brakes into the corner.

I tried driving with the brakes at 75% and I couldn't stand it. It a lot easier for me with the brakes at 120%. I'm not really that bad without ABS, I'm just losing about 3-4 tenths from my time with ABS but I'm getting used to it.

After some practice I dropped my time a little to 1:25.758.

120% seems like alot, but everyone drives different.

I'm often surprised by how others set their car up but at the end of the day if it works it works, simple as that.

Good job on reducing your lap times
