Slow in, fast out.

Brake early and accelerate during the corner. No, this is not enough.. You must still do the "slow in, fast out", but it has to be "slow in, feathering, fast out":)

Someone on YouTube kinda challenged this, and pointed to his record in the F1 Monza time trial.. So today I spent an hour learning the first 2 sections of this Monza, regularly being half a sec faster 30secs into the race, while using 'feathers' in the two chicane sections.. (But his entry line into the 1st chicane was all wrong also)

Actually I was faster than his ghost car all the way to the last corner, which now is kinda funny because I had no idea at all how to handle it as I never got that far in my testing, and lost about 0.6secs there:)  It was like, jeez I am leading this??.... now what???:)

I dislike Monza for some reason, less now, but i will go back to better my 3rd overall time.. Mind you, I don't think the big boys of WTTT have raced this event yet.. I estimate they will go 1sec+ faster than the current record..

EDIT: This was the Monza trial in the picture. No feathering after the first two chicanes, just instinctive pot luck how to take the corners fast.. Hence lot to improve there still.. And that was me. I still can improve by a few tenths because my run throughout the first corner was horrible. Braked way too early and didn't cut the inside apex at all. I was three tenths down on my previous record, so I feel, I can gain 3 tenths there. On the rest of the lap, maybe I could gain some more time on the second chicane, and on Ascari, but I don't feel I could do a much better laptime. I saved the cornering speeds and straight line speeds from the lap and they weren't my best results at some points. This track has potential for me, I believe. Nail all the corners, hit perfectly all apexs, does anyone know which was the world record before FM reset the servers?

PS: I was #1 when I posted the comment, will try to improve ;-)
