    Sorry about the delayed reply @daveo  I didnt have a particularly great week last week for personal reasons so i didnt get much time to pound out the laps. Ive Tried a bunch of supposdly fast setups for the 650's but nothings really clicked ive generally found them to unstable on brakes and liable to snap oversteer. Instead ive kind of settled on much more docile slightly understeering setup by default that i can manipulate by running 1-2ABS 2TC to oversteer if and when i want it. Probably the biggest thing i did find that helped a massive amount was reducing the wheel rotation to 480 degrees to match that of the car, i found this gave a huge amount of extra control especially when it came to driving the car on the limit. Im now probably faster with the wheel than i was with the pad by about .5s around most circuits 🙂

    Right yeah so setting in game to 900 and then setting your logitech software to 900 will actually sync your wheel's lock to the exact steering lock that each car has. This is compatible with fanatec, thrustmaster, logitech gear only, though. So you don't need to manually set it in game for each individual car if you do the 900/900 thing.

    Then you can just adjust the steering ratio up or down in setup. I usually use a pretty high steering ratio. Usually around 1 click down from max. But I'm slow.

    Have you given the 720 a shot? Should be superior to the 650 in every way of I remember correctly. You may be able to beat your times with relative ease! Essentially handles the same with the same super early trail braking technique, though. I think tc 1 is the go for the 720, though.

    Most fast setups I've tried generally try to murder you at any chance haha.

    Would you say titanal for a first carving board?

    Yep.

    Can you carve on your current board to some extent?

    Have you looked into OES? Oxess? Coiler? Size 14 is a pretty gigantic boot. Might be worth sussing out how much width you need before locking in any manufacturer. You might find it difficult to find a titanal board wide enough. Maybe a carbon top oxess would be good. But $$$$

    Ah man that monitor must look amazing. The panels Apple use are so damn good. Lucky you, I'm jealous.

    Oh wow you got up to speed super quick. That's a good effort. I put $2 kids' basketballs sliced in the middle around the rear office chair wheels and that essentially held it in place. So I could hammer the brakes and I wouldn't go flying backwards into another dimension. My pedal softened a bit over time, maybe yours will too.

    I'll hunt for a good setup for macca/monza.

    In the meantime, feel free to set this to 1080p and watch me struggle to not inadvertently drift the entire track. Not the best lap but super sketchy and a laugh to watch.

    Well ive bought a logitech G923 wheel which should be in my grubby hands friday 😄

    Wow that was fast! Let me know when you feel the vibe for a few laps and I'll spin up a server! Word on the street is that @Corey might be down at some point also! 

    I'm going to start going around Kyalami tonight for about 1 hour in the Audi most likely.

    @scottishsurfer Nice! I guess GT Sport and ACC should both have kind of similar physics. But I don't really know, just guessing.

    I'm using a second hand thrustmaster wheel. I got the wheelbase, wheel and pedals all used. Bought the cheapest cockpit I could find and that's what I'm currently using for it 🙂

    There are lots of guys using xbox and ps pads and they're super fast. Way faster than me. I'm garbage. But I have more fun doing this than any other hobby recently!

    This guy has been around on the internet for decades. He spent a looong time building up the persona and that's what makes him some money. A lot of the stuff he says is tongue in cheek and to generate discussion, and well, this thread exists, so it's working.

    Don't expect him to change his stance on his "views" any time soon and definitely don't take anything offensive he says personally, that's just what he does.

    Good on him I say. Page 2 .. longer than a lot of threads have gone 🙂

    This is literally the specs of my board in my profile photo, except mine has allflex inserts. Just sayin...

    Marcel told me a few years back about Nevin's favourite board specs for free carving (although he said he preferred carbon top, I still opted for titanal/ptex), ever since then I wanted to try it, so got one delivered. 

    Nice N has his name on a board now though. A pro model hardboot board is something pretty cool. 

    Can't wait to never actually be allowed to ride mine, that's gonna be awesome.

    Shots fired!!  LOL awesome!  Somebody noticed us!!  No such thing as bad press, right?   Took him long enough, where has he been?

    working on rebuttal... 😄

    I thought el_snowboardo disappeared into his angry snowboarder blog once snowboard.com disappeared, but to my delight I found him active again on his youtube channel recently. To be honest, I love the guy & respect his work. He worked hard to build up that persona, good on him. 

    I remember he gave me advice on a Salomon Burner about 20 years ago or something and it was an amazing board.
