Mclaren WFG Round 2, First Place Qualifier - Analysis
DIR By: Tech G

Here is the on-board footage from the fastest qualifier in round
2. From the steering input and limited telemetry information a
couple of things are evident besides the usual trail breaking.
His steering inputs while not necessary smooth, once he reaches
his maximum input for a corner he stays there and lets the car
catch up, even when it looks like he may understeer. Also, he
appears to over rotate the car in a number of the slower
corners, which seems to require a small corner exit correction,
but allows him to getting hard on the gas sooner. Finally, he
appears to be on the gas during the breaking phase, with small
inputs that can help keep the car balance through a corner and
maybe keeps the engine revs as a more optimal level. Just
thought it was interesting footage from one of the fastest guys
in sim racing.

Yeah he"s really good,uses all the race track.I believe that"s
Enzo Bonito,I might be wrong though.I was watching a replay last
night of the WFG race,and saw Jimi Nisula that races with us had
qualified 12th,nicely done,and against the fastest Sim racers
around.

Thanks for sharing. Unbelievable how early he can open full
throttle. And the car turns with such an ease. i didn't see
anything special in steering input though I must admit there
wasn't anything extra in it. There must be something special in
the car's setup. Need to try what those small throttle inputs
during braking can do for me.
Better watch out for Jimi Scott (I hope WFG doesn't take all his
time).

One of the interesting things that came out of the broadcast was
just how many laps each of the top guys do at these tracks on
average over 1000! I am a big believer in setup helping to give
you confidence to go faster, but at the end of the day you
really need to pound out the laps, find the little differences
in line, corner entry and exit that can make a significant
difference to lap times.
Take our latest track for example, Mid Ohio. It's a new track
layout for me and I know that my line, braking points, etc, are
costing me significant time, so far I have done a total of 49
laps, maybe less than 1/2 are complete racing laps. Without
having a fast guy in front of you to follow, or live on screen
timing deltas, it can sometimes be hard to learn track secrets.

I usually turn between 100 and maybe 200 laps for this EGT
mod,mainly because I"m finding the previous track setup needs
alot of adjusting and not just the gearing.Also,some of these
tracks are new to me also,so you want to make sure you have all
3 sectors down as well as you can.Obviously some people can"t or
don"t want to practice as much as others and with the WFG
competition your searching for every hundreth of a second in
either the setup or your driving lines, so a thousand laps
sounds like over kill to most but if you want to make it in the
top 20 I guess thats whats needed.
And yes your right Matt,Jimi is really fast,if Mikee and Wyatt
come back this could be an amazing season.
