Coaching

Hey guys,
I'm writing you about something I've found on the net the other day.
There's an rFactor team (american I guess) that has some days of the week, servers where they coach driving.
Things like breaking, make a setup, weight transfer... and at the end of the lesson a sprint race. They use different cars per session.
I could use some of that help from the experienced and faster guys around here... and maybe I won't be the only one
What do you think about having some coaching days for us in HSO?
Thanks in advance

Things like breaking

I don't need any coaching for breaking things in rFactor, I'm an alien at that

Ok.. so you could be the braking teacher then

ok you know I ment braking... don't you??

f***** meant

We could call it HSO Academy!!
C'mon what do you think bosses?

David you know you can edit your posts instead of posting new ones right ?

I think its a great idea, but you need instructors, people who have time and speak your language ...

He can be the spamming coach, then

Of course, that was the reason for the joke I made, I am good at damaging (breaking) things in rFactor because I collide so much, but not good at stopping (braking)

I like some breaking too...... Not in Rfactor itself, but due to Rfactor....... Furniture is my specialty

Just look at the 2nd picture, right side of the module.... I did some remodelling after that, so things don't look exactly like this anymore

Tiago the plastic chair is so last year

I still use it, I'm so used to that chair I can't change it

I can volunteer myself to help the slower guys then me.
I like to share whatever I know. I can do it in Portuguese (no use here because my patricians are faster then me ) spanish or bad english (but friendly user ). Only late nights do.
Let´s share what we know, and build the best team ever!!!
Lets take this sim-racing world by storm!!!

Ok forget it

Alberto, you're such an smart ass
No wonder you're so slow you think you know everything, dont you?

Hey mate, what's the problem? I did not mean to offend at all, I just found funny how you laughed yourself at Antoine's sceptical reaction. Actually I laughed at the same thing that you did, that is, to his reaction.

Of course I am slow, and I am the first to joke about it here (Just read my previous post to see how I joked about me colliding so much); I think you simply misunderstood me, as forums are such a faceless communication way. If you have felt offended let me apologize for it, even if I stress that this was not the intention at all.

Its ok Alberto. no problem.

Ah those latinos

Yeah, nothing is as cool and calmed as a good teutonic, squared, northern-european ... french

P.D. We cleared things and shook hands per PM

OK guys, in the spirit of teaching what we know, I would like to tell you may secret on that 3rd place on the Taraga-Fiorio with an Escort:
1: I was not able to «read» the track well, so I've asked to use the hood camera. That gave me more «reading of the track»
2: I've used more steering sensibility because that was a rally, so I needed to be able to «dance» with the car.
3: I used a front wheel drive car, because there was no 4x4 and the other few cars available where not true rally cars. And on an Tarmac rally FF works pretty well.
4: I've used the hand brake!!! I had a neutral steer car, and I used the hand brake for the airpins.
5: Having a neutral car, I was able to hit the gas and brake at the same time even on fast corners. So I was able to enter faster into the corners then most heavy powerfull cars.
6: Its a rally, don't floor it when you don't feel confident... wait for the «flow».
7: Know how the car works. As this was a FF car, thats easy because I've always driven FF cars in real life. So it was a metter of pretending I was driving my Fiat!! And also prettend I could die on those cliffs.
8: Don't look at the other guys times, or you will lose concentration (in rally that means you're dead).

Ok so this is how I've managed a podium with a 1.6 litre Escort.
I hope I've started something here.

And I would be really glad if these informations are useful for anyone.
Cheers guys!
