quite possible Jeff, maybe a double downshift...had a few of them recently. will have to try and 'listen' to the replay.  There is a program called keydelay or something. That can prevent double downshifts due to falty hardware or stupid drivers  |

I downshift quite hard during qualy or in a race when I'm really pushing, but generally you should be more gentle on downshifting during a longer race. I pushed the 350Z really hard for most of the Brno race; I normally only lose 2 or 3% of the engine, but lost about 23% through being too aggressive that time.
See it all the time in youtube videos, where people go down 4 gears in a blink, just concentrate on being more progressive. Having a good wheel certainly helps though.

The Modena also has a very big gap between 1st and 2nd in the default setups - I moved 2nd down and spread the upper gears out a bit more which made the car much more stable under braking. |

What the program basically does is, you sign a button on the wheel (shifter in this case) to a button on the keyboard. Then you select the time between the possibility of each press. So if you set it to 200ms, the button won't react within that time limit. |

I use the Logitech Profiler to map the paddles to the U and D keys, no more double shifts.
There's also Joy2Key.

D'oh !..yeah watched the vid again.  Mind you, its the merest of overlap onto the verge with one wheel for such a violent change of direction !  What a crap way to exit a toughly fought race for 45 minutes Looks like me and Pseudo get the awards for 'worst race exits caught on camera' !  |

...and I surely get the award for most spins. Pants driving from me, no real speed so overdrove and lost it countless times. And no real idea how to set the car up. There are just far too many options compared to GTL, I'm lost.  Mucho swearing took place on Tuesday night. |

Simon 'Shark' Gymer (Simon Gymer) — penalty — over-ambitious overtake (reduced for making every effort to avoid contact) — 1 place lost
I'm sure we all make every effort to avoid contact. Does this mean we will all receive reduced penalties from now on??  |
