Wake Up lap time and new wheel

Post by Savage1 »

I tried and tried, but the best time I could get on the track wakeup was 2:00.59, I just purchased the Microsoft Sidewinder wheel yesterday, and its taking a bit of getting used to, but I love feel of it, anyone else have this wheel, and any tips that may help?

Line and proper garage settings are absolutely essential in order to achieve fast lap times. Of course, it takes time and practice in order to execute a near perfect racing line. I would highly recommend that you learn to drive using standard shifting. You get a little added horse power, and you have much better control going into, and coming out of turns. Power slides are much easier as well. Lastly, checkout Team SLO's replay page and watch how some the the others do it. Image

Hope to see ya on the tracks, bud!

Thanks Slo_Cope, I always run Manual and always 1800+ pro mode, I tried the settings mentioned in the readme html incl. inter @ 1600, but couldnt get higher times that way, oh well, more runs means faster times =]

I look forward to racing in the zone, give you guyz a run 4 ur money, and vise versa lol. everytime Ive gone in there tho, the rooms are locked, password?, whats that about? anyways I keep trying and will have fun given time. Maybe they just think Im a rookie driver? lol.

have a good one, and I have My three ameture class trucks done, where do I upload them at please?

Room always locked...

Yeah, that help us screen who get in and when. Just send a zone message to the room host. If you get to many no's try one with a SLO jacket. Make sure you dl our lists. We decide what list we'll play pretty much at last min.
