With GTR2 I cannot get into GTL anymore, it feels so dull. During this race I was also pushing hard, but it felt like siteseeing
I found coming back to GTL after so much GTR2 was really enjoyable. I'd done no practice at all beforehand but after a small setup change I felt really comfortable in the car and really enjoyed the feeling of being able to take liberties with the car I just wouldn't get away with in a modern GT car, sliding into and out of corners and being able to use a wider choice of lines with the slower cars.
Was really interesting having GTL PD monitor running on my other computer's monitor. It showed my tyres at the end were only 7% worn which makes sense with me feeling in any GTL race I've ever done that the tyres feel exactly the same at the end as the start practically. Where others complain of wear, I don't get it, just my driving style I guess.
I'm really not getting to grips with how to set these cars up. I've tried radically different things to find something that works and nothing does. I'm unable to stop wheels locking under brakes no matter what i do with brake balance and pressure, I just don't get it.
I had GTL PD up too (though I really need to find a way to mount my laptop behind my wheel because glancing down to the left to read it was rather distracting) and although tyre wear wasn't bad the tyres were overpressure, especially the left rear, and it was definitely having an effect on the handling.
The Healey has very iffy brakes and you really can't use more than about 60% brake pressure for more than a fraction of a second. I've modified the controller settings in my .PLR file to give finer control which helps a bit but basically you have to pump those suckers, you can't use them with a single smooth application like you would in a modern car.
Having said that the Healey is quite happy to leave massive smoke trails everywhere with no obvious ill effects.
