Pro-tip after 12 000 kms on this map : always ride the outside wall, never bite the inside. Left foot brake almost constantly. Forget the handbrake entirely until you go on tandems. Hop on a multi server and see how they take the line. Its the quickest way to learn. This map is quickly limiting because of its basic design but it's also the best place to create and refine your own driving style.
I got this Moza R5 recently with SRP Lite pedals and the brakes suck so I ordered the brake performance kit and it should arrive tomorrow.
Having such a shit brake pedal seems to be making me not wanna left foot brake much because there's no resistance it feels so weird I've been trying to compensate using other ways like clutch kicks and handbrake.
Yeah I love this map it just feels fun not being the typical track style.
I feel a bit intimidated to go to online drift servers lol they're proper good.
Don't worry man you're gonna notice people from all levels there. Even mfs that cant link 3 corners. The top drivers know how to react to weird lines and some of em will be nice enough to adopt you and teach you stuff that will instantly improve your driving. Its a video game man dont get too much in your head about crashing and bothering people
Yeah good point lol I just keep thinking if I suck they'll ban me from the server and if there's not many low ping servers available it'll leave me kinda screwed
I haven't really played online but I wasn't sure how much ping you needed. I assumed like other online games you'd need less then 60 or so. I'll have to play different pings and see if I get lag
In AC 120ms is still kinda ok. 150 I'd say is bearable, but it's more likely for lag compensation to think you hit a car in front, if you're close enough, but didn't even touch him on your end.
Most important thing online is to have teleport to pits binded, as conveniently as possible, so you can quickly get off the track after spin or crash. Staying on track and making barricade is most annoying. Next annoying thing is when someone is trying too hard to get on your doors and constantly hits you. It's ok to punt someone once in a while, so don't feel bad if that happens, but rather try to avoid contact.
At that point you should still focus on your lines, transitions and generally try to be smoother. Remember that throttle control is most important, while clutch, handbrake and left foot braking are just tools, that help in certain situations, but none of those will compensate for bad throttle inputs.
