    Hey guys, just to make life a little easier finding any laps if you wanted to go back and find one for whatever reason, i've put them all into a Playlist. Will keep updating for the final two rounds. :thumbsup: Just click below on the link to see it :)

    so i normally race with bumper cam, but with the closer racing im encountering this season i really need to get used to bonnet cam or roof cam, as i cant see ahead when im right behind someone. but i just dont get the same sense of speed from either of those. any advice? or is it just a case of practicing till i am used to it?

    Anyone looking for a boost at RA may want to find the invisible trampoline super boost as shown below
    @stucar17 if you heard me giggling like a schoolgirl last night, this was why...

    Do any of you when doing ur camera settings use the Keyboard Ctrl+K setting? Allows you to adjust height/roll/location/fov of camera on the fly. I use it for a slightly lower and closer Roof Cam this season, its also how i did the 'no hands cockpit w/ steering wheel' glitch in the radical.
    Its fun to play around with finding out your ideal settings

    Havent tried it but i should. Bonnets just to far forward but if i can bring that right back an maybe up a bit it would be perfect.

    Zharvs you can adjust the angle or field of view in the options menu to bring the view point forward or back to give you a better personal view. The value stays the same but will change wen you get into different cars due to the cars themselves as they have different dimensions. I.e. Roof cam on the gt3 cars are perfect, in the Ginetta gt4 I see a tad of the roof.

    And with adjusting roll bars on the fly, can that be done in no tune lobbies and if so. Which way to i go to cut out some understeer?

    You can't change roll bars on the Ginetta on the fly. Gt3 cars can though and it can be done in no tune lobbies.. Just need to map them to your keyboard.

    If you find it's got understeer you need to soften the front like wise if you get too much over steer soften the rear but be careful that it's not pushing with understeer and snapping into oversteer when the front finds grip. That's how it works on a real car so it should be the same in the game.

    Had a good run tonight with a few guys and manage a 16 at RA. Chucking it up to test out the NBN (uploaded in like 1 minute compared to my old net of around 20-25 mins for this size clip).

    Thought I'd get in early for Catalunya. Track temps are still being confirmed by Stu.
