Title: How do you get a fast lap on the racetrack?
Post by: Concept on April 06, 2012, 12:36
I tried for 30 mins yesterday but could not beat my time of 12.8 seconds. In the beginning I was in the top 5, but now I fell back to 41th place lol.

It looks like the Infernus is also not as fast as the Hotring's and Bullet's, but I still can't beat my own time.

Do you have to use NOS, and brake, or do you hit the walls when coming out of a corner?

I don't use NOS, don't use brakes, just stop keeping on the W when i go into a corner

with my hotring i did 12.41

theres a specific course you need to do.  be near the end on the corners. if you think will hit a wall release w. and soon as you leave the corner press w again; btw i use nos. :P

I think Bullet is better than Hotring and Infernus.Infernus is fast but it seems to be more faster than needed,so you have to brake down so you don't hit walls.But when you brake it accelerates slower than the Bullet.Hotring also accelerates slower.I noticed that when you get out of the corners before the finish line,Hotring and Infernus accelerate not more than 200,and with Bullet I success in accelerating up to 230 before crossing the finish line.And since my best time is done with Bullet,I advice that you have to accelerate at least to 240-250 before crossing the finish,to be able to set a good time.But I still haven't managed to do so.

you might be right. the fastest bullet is 12.13 with Twiz. even tho. i wont be faster as a hotring. or infernus with nos i think.

infernus is for pros, it can beat the time, but you need to be pro in handling it, which is very very difficult.

So I recommend, to use bullet, its much easier with it.

Yeah.You won't believe it but I manage to maintain full speed while I am driving through the curve before the finish line,and that surely saves me time :P

Okay thanks all.

But do you need to own the car to set a laptime?

No :)) You can take the bullet from Missionary Hill,SF (http://images.wikia.com/gtawiki/images/b/be/MissionaryHill.jpg),or Infernus or Hotring from the big parking near the Camel's Toe,LV (http://images.wikia.com/gtawiki/images/0/01/The_Camel's_Toe.jpg),Bullet suits me the most :)
