Brno

What is a good time in the Formula BMW at BRNO? I was getting 2:15's although I know there is room for improvement.

They actually turn out times that're close to the WTCC cars' times. So I'd say the 2:15 would certainly be a time that'd have you at the front if you found an online race for the car there.

Maybe one of our frequent flyers has time to hustle up a time for you.

Ok, thanks! I'm looking to improve my time this weekend. I haven't tried any online races yet. How does that work? Do i have to use STEAM? I think another second is possible if not more.

I actually have a lot of work ahead of me. I was able to get to a 2:10 flat but the AI is getting 2:05/06's at 100% difficulty. That being said, I feel i can at least get to 2:08's with some more practice, hopefully after a couple more races.

I found that the brake bias on the FBMWs make those cars harder to drive. Seems to make the brake pedal harder to control. Too touchy.

I noticed it first on the F3000s. And again on the Radicals. Not so much on the FBMWs but thanks to seeing it on the others, I did notice.

Anyway, if you think about it, those cars are all RWD and most spec cars like them are built to have either a 50/50 weight balance or at least more weight over the driving tires.

I setup my UP and DOWN keys to change the brake bias just so I could easily change it while running practice laps. It's a quick way to adjust for the feel I want. I can run a few consecutive laps in practice and shift that bias right into what works best for the car.
