It'll let make the corners at higher speed. You'll lose a bit of rear end grip, but nothing too serious...

ive done a 1:31.431...this track is fun ;D
i find the degner corners the hardest part of the track, with the setup im running, it makes the car extremely nervous over that outside kerb, and ive had a lot of spectacular spins there...

The sp0on curve is where I get caught most in the grass. When I'm really pushing, sometimes the car goes wider and then there's no coming back at high speed. Not sure why people say that 130R is so challenging though....the S curves are a lot worse to do...
[edit] WTF? The forum is replacing "sp0on" with "sthingy"?

ive cured my degner problems.

130R is nothing on this game, i go flat through it and dont even come near the exit kerbs.

Yeah 130r is straigtforward though i do get acute oversteer if i'm not gentle on the steering.
Once you get out of line on the esses you are screwed you find your out of line all the way through. I'm always a bit nervous in the sp0on curve as well, excellent when you get it right though.
Fair play to everyone here, the laps being done are excellent, the standard here is very high. Good luck all

Yeah, I'll be doing more testing today. 130R is fairly simple though it's the breaking point that I still feel could be better for me. The sp0on curve is where I feel I lose the most time. I still don't feel like I've got it right. It's easy to get out on the grass there if you break to late and then finding the proper exit gear can be a bit tricky as well.
This race looks like it will be very competetive with the times being shown at this point in the week.
WTF! I'm going to fix that issue with "Sp0on"

I think, given the nature of our forum, turning off the censor system would not be a bad idea But I am not sure why such a normal word like sp0on would get censored?! I'm starting to get pissed with my setup...losing too much time in the last sector...have to find a way to get more top speed...

I'm starting to get pissed with my setup...losing too much time in the last sector...have to find a way to get more top speed... Because with the "s" removed it is a slang sexual word. Hence the word Sthingy! LOL! Honestly, it is a small group of peope on this forum so I don't see any harm in removing some of the censored words. There are somethings on the list I wouldn't feel comfortable allowing on any board I run.

Douh! 130R is the fast left hander on the backside of the track isn't it? I have no problems in that turn. I come into that at about 201-202mph and drop to about 195mph exiting that turn. My mistake!
