Melbourne Sauber

Recommended Posts

Hi,

Is there any expert around that can tell me how fast you can get around Melbourne with the Sauber F1 car (time trial) and maybe wants to share his/her setup? I don't get much quicker than ~ 1:30.

thanks

I haven't tried it with a sauber yet, but if you want a good setup.
go to the leaderboard, pick one of the best 5 players, and use the ghost setup.
then you have a setup of the fastest guys on your platform. It depends on your driving if you like that setups but they are fast ;)

Haven't really done enough experimentation with this game's setups yet, but here's some tips for finding one that helps you go faster in the right places. Concentrate on improving traction, the faster you can get the power down out of T2, 4, 10 and 15 the more time you'll gain. Minimum speed through T1/2 and T11/12 are important but not as much as the traction zones. T5 is crucial to get right, take a line toward the outer wall on entry and turn in when you hit the yellow line with your front left, you want a late apex so you don't hit the inside kerb too much or have to accelerate on the exit kerb which generates a  lot of instability. It's close but not quite flat for the Manor on low fuel and new tyres so should be pretty similar in the Sauber. T10 is similar in that lower minimum speed and later apex work better than trying to carry the mid-corner speed (common theme with these 14-16 cars).  T13 and 14 are key, 14 in particular is an early apex and you can take a lot more speed through if you drive it like that rather than trying to make them both 90° corners as they can appear.
