I got 1:38 ish with F14T(PR 123) all assists off, but I know it is not the best - Heck it didn't even beat Lotus 125 top record in Spa WTTT. I think the most important areas I have to improve upon are:

1.  La Source  - Brake early to get the maximum exiting speed.

2.  Les Combes - Balancing turn 8 and turn 9 exiting speed. Sometimes I get full throttle exiting turn 8 but would have to brake again for turn 9. Sometimes I brake more at turn 8 to prepare to run flat out on turn 9.

3.  Pouhon corner. IMO this is the hardest corner at Spa.

I know we can look at how SpeedJunkie does it in youtube, but questions:

1.  Can you can run flat out at Turn 8 and 9 Les Combes after braking at turn 7?

2.  I saw there's only one instance where someone can run flat out at Pouhon corner - 300kmh

F1 Circuit Guide shows entry speed of Pouhon is usually around 180mph.

-->  The following is the craziest one:

F1 2017. Some guy ran flat out at Pouhon corner.

Question:  Is that even technically possible? Is F1 2017 more real than RR3 or it's not? Did any of you guys run flat out like the guy in F1 2017 with the RR3 open-wheelers, F14T, F1 412 T2, MP4/4, Lotus 125?

Really wish I could run it flat out but I tried so many times and I just had to brake before entering it.

Any expert advice would be appreciated.

PS:  Yes I did the homework. SpeedJunkie's Lotus lap had to brake it down to 275ish to enter Pouhon.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4ym59YccsIE I can assure you even a console sim-cade like f12017 is way more realistic than rr3. Key thing to remember is that 2017 f1 cars have way more downforce and wider tyres due to new regulations than 2014 f1 cars. 2017 f1 cars are the fastest f1 cars ever made. Irl in 2017 lewis had a small lift and downshift at pouhon, alonso took it flat in an underpowered car , and in 2014 they were nowhere near flat. Of rr3 has upgrades that skew the comparison a bit.
