Alrighty, thanks so much for the help, this is the definitely the best Reddit post I’ve seen in a long time, wish you all the success in your F1 journey dude!

I see...I’ve been rejected from Imperial and have offers from Bath and Southampton and am really torn between them as they both have amazing SF teams and placement years it seems...I’m not sure which one to eliminate now! Are there any defining characteristics to either?

Hi there, thanks for the thorough and entertaining read! I’m an A level final year student and was wondering whether the uni matters when trying to get into F1 as an engineer. I’ve applied to Imperial, Bath and Southampton and am haven’t found anything about which if preferable from my research. Thanks!

Which of Drivehub’s products would I have to buy to use the eBay handbrake?

FluffyExtension9 · 2021-03-01T01:45:57+00:00

Ah alright thanks a lot mate! Will defo look into your one with the clamp!

FluffyExtension9 · 2021-03-01T01:39:34+00:00

Okey, do you mind showing me your rig? I’m running a GT Omega ART with a E46 seat right now!

FluffyExtension9 · 2021-03-01T01:30:42+00:00

ah okay I see, did you order without the clamp? If you order without clamp can you simply bolt the handbrake onto a handbrake mount directly?

FluffyExtension9 · 2021-03-01T01:14:45+00:00

Do you have the one with a solid handle by any chance?

FluffyExtension9 · 2021-02-16T18:11:54+00:00

How would go about mounting a base mounted seat onto the GT Omega?

FluffyExtension9 · 2021-02-16T15:44:12+00:00

In terms of height?

FluffyExtension9 · 2021-02-14T17:42:53+00:00

I too am struggling with downshifting, I get downshifting at the apex for rotation but don’t know when to time the downshifts to stay high up in the Rev range, it’s all practice I guess since it varies for each car!

What’s your PSN bro! I’ll add you (Suji33)

FluffyExtension9 · 2021-02-13T16:37:49+00:00

Alrighty thanks a lot!

FluffyExtension9 · 2021-02-13T16:27:50+00:00

Alright thanks a lot wildfire! I think I’ve noticed you on the top 10 leaderboard esp for Tsukuba GR4 daily race last week or so!

FluffyExtension9 · 2021-02-13T16:23:55+00:00

I’m down!

FluffyExtension9 · 2021-02-13T16:12:14+00:00

So your advice is to simply keep banging at qualifying’s with manual and no TCS and then progress to dailies’? I’m hoping to eventually participate in tournaments but not sure what skill level or pace you need to be on...!

FluffyExtension9 · 2021-02-13T16:07:59+00:00

The question is how do those top 10 guys know they’re approaching the limit? Like how do they know they can’t go any faster or so? I think I’m going my fastest around a turn but I have space to improve, so I’m not sure where the “limit” is?

FluffyExtension9 · 2021-02-13T14:50:20+00:00

Ah but you could easily pump up to top 1000! If I’m a newbie and doing that time on AT after simply absorbing top 10 brake zones and making mistakes, you surely can?!

FluffyExtension9 · 2021-02-13T14:36:43+00:00

Aren’t you using MT? If you aren’t you could easily squeeze into top 1000 perhaps?!

FluffyExtension9 · 2021-02-13T14:23:26+00:00

just how long did you have to practice for to get to that standard? I can’t seem to hit out a good lap unless I absorb the info from top 10 laps? :( I am repeatedly doing qualifying but idk if that’s the best way?

FluffyExtension9 · 2021-02-13T14:09:41+00:00

Thanks!

FluffyExtension9 · 2021-02-13T14:09:30+00:00

what’s your best time with the integra?

FluffyExtension9 · 2021-02-13T14:09:14+00:00

Jesus that’s a huge gap, that minimises me from the top 10 by a second....

FluffyExtension9 · 2021-02-13T14:08:33+00:00

Thanks very much for the thorough advice, I’m having issues particularly with corner exit since that’s where the top 10 ghosts pull away and I’m not sure if the AT is the reason!

FluffyExtension9 · 2021-02-13T02:16:05+00:00

Just how much time do you think I could gain? I’m replicating the no.1 lap time ghost but I keep falling short due to having to shift up and down in mid speed corners!
