FTO AUSTRALIA

The only thing I can see is some of your lines are a little off. But apart from that it looks good.

is that it? lol....i wish my balls are big enough to throttle earlier so power can come earlier.

Turn 4, 5 i was using 4th gear, should've used 3rd gear to keep the rev up.

Turn 7, 8 is tricky. not sure how to tackle that correctly....it hard to make a good turn with the revs up, and making sure it wont understeer too much.

Turn 9 should use 2nd gear instead of 3rd. I used 2nd acouple of times and the rev is almost red line. not sure if thats the correct gear to make the last turn.

And then the straights, i guess theres nothing i can do, my FTO is bloody slow! even the TegS can easily pull off from me. I even being asked, "were you on full trhottle at the straights?" WTF, i hate to say it, but YES!

Watched the vids man looked so fun I've never been on a track so I have no place in faulting u on technique now all u need to do is get more power

You are about right ZFL45H1!
With just a good set of brakes and tyres, i can creep in at the corners. Its just the straights which are fu strating.

I like the straights!

Just borrow bennoz engine :lol::lol::lol:

I'm the other way around, I caught up on the straights and chickened out on the corners. I need better tyres.

After watching the vid, perhaps i should try a lower gear to keep the rev higher up at the corners.
I need advice if i should use 2nd gear on T2?
Unfortunately it did not cross my mind at that time to try it out.

3rd gear at turn5? I was in 4th when approaching T4 and realised the rev drop a lot at T5.

2nd gear at T8? I was around 65km/hr so is using 2nd gear suitable?

Lastly, 2nd gear at T10. I used 2nd gear a few times last year and found extra 5-10km/hr at the straight. But i was in 3rd gear this time throughout the day. Don't know why.

In summary, i can turn quite hard, while still managed to keep the car on track. That was when i can creep up to the over more powerful cars. But it is the corner exit speed that let me down, not to mention the straights.

Yes to all .

LOL, thats a swift answer.

Learn the heel toe method when down shifting, might eliminate the need to downshift when it would almost redline for a few seconds. Other than that its all about experience. Just got to get to know your car and its limits before you cam push them. Very good otherwise, just need to tighten it all up.

I tried but i panicked. LOL

Its hard. Just need to keep practice that when on the track next time.

Yea it would be if not setup right. The trick is to bleed your brake pedal to where it will be comfortable for you. Makes it a lot easier than stretching you foot all the time etc. Had to bring mine forward a bit.

I dont think u can bleed the pedal lol i know u can change clutch height, mine engages fully at 1cm, probably best and easiest option so u dont have to worry so much about engaging the clutch.

I'm assuming you bleed the brake pedal, not sure if that's accurate, I mean I brought my pedal height forward a bit when I first got the car.

I have done just that. Took the accel pedal out and physically bend it slightly up.

You don't need to do that unless you are changing gears, even then it's not needed in the FTO setup.
If you are staying in the same gear use your left foot on the break and keep your right foot for the gas .
