SPIELBERG TRACK ACC. PROGRAM PROBLEM.

Recommended Posts

There is a problem with the gate exiting turn 2 at the Spielberg circuit. It is impossible to get purple in the gate exiting turn 2. if attempting to exit such a naturally slow corner any faster then i will lose control or not even make the corner at all. I've been playin since '14 and it's still forcing green in turn 2 exit. please fix, i need the resource points.

 Yeah, that's a tricky corner for traction. I rarely get purple on there, but usually manage the rest of the circuit OK.

 But I agree with your general point. Something isn't quite right with the speed they expect you to take certain corners.

It is true, but you can get a purple time easily by nailing most of the others.

You can only get maximum 50 resource points from the program, so it doesn't matter if you can't get them all purple, as long as you get an overall purple score.

Try maybe slow in fast out? If you don't have problems on entry, brake earlier - this MAY make you able to accelerate earlier and get beetter exit.

Turn 3 in Austria is actually a corner where if you don't clip the apex and stay a bit wide you can get better traction off the corner and ultimately be faster on the straights, you could try to see how it works...

I do need a good parts % to pass this too. Normally I will use used worn parts in practice so fresh is for quali and race only but this is one such tough example of needing that added power to help. But like the chicane tower at Azerbaijan in 2016 game the liner seems not to be in the optimal position too. I get a much faster pace using a different line to what the practice forces you to use.

thanks ppl... it's good to be in a forum where others break down what you're talking about instead of just talking trash. almost all comments helped a lot.

Is it the hairpin?

body is 22 characters too short
yes it is the hairpin. and it is too short. i forgot to ask if it was just the lack of development since it's my first season in 2017. i eventually just let it go anyway.

yeah, the speed expectation in corners drove me mad in 2016 Catalunya. no matter what, i was just too slow then. exit speed in some speilberg corners seemed too fast but i figured it could be fixed through R&D so i'll do better next season with better build.
