Anyone got a Lotus 49 setup at Monza?

1:30, I will get you you filthy strumpet!
Actually on this subject I have started to notice that it is really easy to lockup on initial brake application on some of the cars, a little bit like Richo has been trying to solve.ysu wrote:All I did for a 1:30 there is to move the brakes all the way to the back (54 I think). That helped enormously with braking.

I'm only using 2nd for the first lesmo. 3rd for the 2nd lesmo and parabolica. Flat through Ascari but I have to give it a tiny flick on entry to get it turning or I understeer off.
Saved the wrong lap in the replay
For Imola I just put 2nd gear 2 clicks shorter.
Faster than Jim Clark, Chapman would be proud of you
Beat 1:28:50 at Monza (historical) with the Lotus 49
Thanks for that set!DarrenM wrote:Down to 28.6 at monza. There's a low 28 sitting there if I can nail the drifts right but I'm not smooth enough.

I only just figured out the 2nd lesmo tonight. It's a tightening radius so you need to stay off the power and trail brake a long way into the corner. I was getting back on the power too soon and thinking I was understeering.
I keep stuffing up my down shifts... Think I need to slow everything down a bit, including the heal-toe action.Dr. Pain wrote:I was chasing time at Monza today. I got into the low 1:30.xxx on the default. I hope we get more cars and tracks from that era. Changing down is my biggest issue getting hung up between gears.
Finally got under 1:30 (1:29.95) in the L49 @ Monza using your setup Darren (cheers), could only run a 1:30.3x with the default. But because of the manual shifting and one hand driving, my right wrist is now sore.DarrenM wrote:I tried using the G27 shifter because upshifts are faster than paddles, but it sucks arse. Keep getting it stuck on the gate so I'm back to paddles. Might have to grab a clubsport shifter.
Silverstone in the L49 is mega fun. Technical bits mixed with high speed bits. Much better than the old layout.
I don't think I'll ever be allowed to by upgrades for this setup, now the boy is here. Unless I buy them for him... Is 5 weeks old too early for sim racing???DarrenM wrote:I have the same cockpit and yeah, it's pretty low. It also gets in my way if I have it installed because I have to get out that side of the cockpit.
If I get the clubsport shifter I'll be trying to mount it up higher on the right side like an open wheeler shifter.
