anytime, I originally dug out that second video because I had the same trouble sleeping without having seen the guy myself
Well I also purchased this livery on release, I also moaned about it at the time, yet I still don't have it in my Garage , any chance of one of them, there redeem codes @J-F Chardon?
Is there an app/mod/something that we can install or activate so that we can see the names of the turns in the corner of the screen? I think another sim had this (AC maybe?) and I thought it would be cool as I know the track, but I don't know the names of all the corners.
Track description (section/corner) names is originally in AC. I made a lot of them (mod is on RD) for mod tracks using the DRS tool. But I think it will not be possible in R3E.
I've been driving it since Gran Turismo 4 and I still cock up many of the corners after the carousel. Don't worry about it
You should have seen me when I started at NS, lol.... Just use an "easy" GT3 car (Mclaren / M6) and keep practicing, once you get hold of the track its the best track out there IMO. Dont try push like a maniac in the beginning, just learn and feel the track and stay away from the curbs (until you know them)...
Yeah after the carousel the brain seems to say "Nope, not going to remember any more turns buddy!" In last month or two finally starting to know those turns better...especially those directly after carousel. Once i hit the high speed flat out turns closer to the long straight those i remember...its between the carousel and that thats been a blur and im just now able to recall properly.
Yes. I think the "secret" there is to not push and learn patiently all the bends and their sequeneces. Oh I haven't played for a lot of time...
By now i get more and more confident at the Nordschleife by driving lap after lap. Practice helps a lot. At least i can drive a few laps (or a full 90min race) without crashing. Not ultrafast, but finally the car stays in one piece. Nevertheless i'm still a few seconds slower than the faster drivers. Usualy at the beginning of your "Learning the Nordschleife" process you start a lap, crash the car in first sector, start again, mess the car half distance, start again, crashing halfway, start again. Therefore it's quite common, that you memorize the first parts of the track better than the last sector. Tipp: Just start slow and try to keep on track without taking too much risk. And if you keep practicing, one day you get to the point, where you don't have to look at the trackmap anymore, to see which corner is next. And at the end it's quite satisfying to master the Green Hell, even if there's still room to improve your laptimes. There's no perfect lap at the Nordschleife. The fastest lap is just the lap with the fewest mistakes.
You do realise that the track is over 20km long, right ? So "a few seconds slower than the fastest drivers" does not seem bad at all... I started driving the Green Hell in GT5/GT6 and when I quit the series I had over 150.000 km on the Ring. It is still my favourite track in all my sims, so (even I don't see the distance driven any more) my guess is that I will have easily over 200.000 km by now. And still I find ways to go a bit faster. Mainly because - though very close - the Ring is a bit different in each sim.
In every single corner are 1-2 seconds hiding. Potential is always there to get faster. And to crash.
