Hopefully an old school F1 car on a modern classic track is a little more popular haha!

    I made another video (old lap time).

    This time it’s a replay as I wasn’t recording live. The timer is probably not exactly where it should be! I’m very much learning Davini Resolve as I’m going along.

    Really fun challenge. This car can brake a lot later than I initially thought it could. Blipping the throttle on the downshifts really seemed to help with this. I’ve never driven this era of Formula 1 car in a sim before, and that’s a damn shame. I must admit though, I’m hoping for something a little more pointy next time round!

    Edit: I got a faster lap.

      Nice lap! I’d say our laps are fairly similar and the time difference is likely down to eau rouge.

      I think I blend out to about half throttle go into it and manage get back to full throttle a decent bit earlier to carry a bit more speed.

      For reference I blend out throttle at about 21 seconds and am full throttle at or just before 23 seconds on your timer if that’s any help!

      Gonna have to try to improve my time more tomorrow hah

        Cheers, thanks for the tip!

        Seen you’ve improved to a 19, nice work!

        I suspect that there’s a 2:16 in this car for the aliens out there. Whether I get time to try and improve I don’t know. Hopefully!
