Just brake early and then accel through. Also, remember that you don't need to brake or accel off on C-120 itself. Just turn hard. I'm speaking personally from experience. I was running a great race against Sid with my FC when I screwed up and hit a wall. Sid passed me shortly after (of course), but I was actually able to PASS HIM by braking, NOT downshifting, and accelerating straight through that third pin. It was a LOT faster. If you're already doing fine on those two hairpins and your problem is hitting walls on another of the hairpins, brake, downshift, release the brake, accel while turning through the corner, then upshift. In summary, remember what Keisuke says when he beats you at Irohazaka: "You can't take every turn the same way." See what works best for each corner. Hope this helps. edit: My bad. It's C-121 (I think?), not C-120 This post has been edited by Isolator FC on Feb 21 2004, 02:05 AM |

If youre taking the hairpin fast, but slow ass exit speed, try a different technique. Since youre in the rain, for the hairpins, brake early. You dont really have to downshift in this map, but if you brake that mcuh i guess you should. DO NOT HIT THE WALLS. Thats all tehre is to it. P.S. I couldnt really understand your explanation because C121 is a minor turn in Fake Usui, its nothing big... |

You're right, but imho it's unlike any other minor turn. It's uniquely shaped and hence sometimes it throws newbies off. I remember going through several different phases of entry with C121 - an easy turn in, a drift/accel off method, out-in-out full accel, out-in-out drift...The main problem for me was hitting the wall on the opposite side, since the corner sharpens drastically after the apex. I have no idea whether or not other people found/find C121 to be tricky, but my general advice, if was/is for them, was in the above post. Enter easy with full acceleration, and then turn hard at the apex. Anyway, the main focus of Keisuke_Takahashi's question was the sharpest hairpin, which I think is the first one. I did provide suggestions (bad/good, who knows) for all three pins, just in case, but the main focus was on that first pin. Here it is again, in case it got lost in my blabbing
Remember that the FC is driftier than other cars, and so can still slide with pressure on the gas. /me bows to Kraz, apologizing for my longwindedness | ||||

lol ok. ahahahah no reason to suck up. The sharpest hairpni doesnt mean its the first turn, it depends which direction you're going. | ||||||

coffee break anyone?

A Basic Tune should be enough in most cases. Also: Wall contact is not entirely forbidden. A couple of light kisses are no sin whatsoever. It's when your crashes become violent enough for an engine peanalty that the Kei-car hits the NNNNAAAAAWWWWWZZZZZZ!!!! and you lose the battle! |
