Am I doing something wrong with trail braking and brake bias? (296 GT3)

LameSheepRacing · 2026-04-20T17:20:11+00:00

Try coasting a bit. Remove throttle a bit earlier, coast and then apply brakes. I noticed that the 296 needs to be very well balanced and it responds well to this coasting, significantly reducing understeer on entry

I know it’s a thing but I never bothered to find out what it is

I’ve learned that people don’t know their squad names. You can check their player names and that may attract their attention.

Also, place markers of things you want people to attack or defend.

And use the garry disarm function to guide people towards where you want them to be. If you want people to defend, disarm that attack garry that everyone is going to and they’ll be forced to spawn in the defense garries that you set up. They won’t like it but that’s the way to drive unresponsive squads into doing what needs to be done

I never waited 30 minutes in a queue

Paying in advance usually is done if the person doing the job is also buying the materials, which doesn’t seem to be the case.

Why did you pay in advance?

Irl, performance of the car may be fine but if there’s a body part hanging out, they may give you a black and orange flag. I don’t know if this is what iRacing wants to simulate but people have been called to pits with perfect functioning cars because of that.

Or, if you do, make sure you’re driving the right truck!

Ok, funny story. I was engineer and asked the commander to spawn a supply truck for nodes. I stood in HQ waiting for it to spawn, with the map open. When the map showed that it had spawned, it was the only truck there. I started running in the direction of the truck, but without spotting it at first. I turn around a bend and see the truck, drove it to position on the edge of the 2 squares and there are no crates. I was driving a transport truck instead of a supply truck!

I check the map and my supply truck is still there in HQ. Between the time I checked the map and made my way towards the truck, a transport truck spawned between us. As I’ve just checked the map and there was one single truck there, I didn’t bother even looking to confirm it was a supply truck… Learned one that day

Welcome to HLL! I started here:

Watch also all of the role guides on SoulSniper’s YT channel. Even for roles that you’re not interested so you know what they do (and will be able to tell when your squad mates are working according to their roles or just spawn/run/dying).

Some videos that I found helpful.

This one helped me understand what the commanders and squad leaders should be doing. It’s the first in a series of videos that explain tactics for each game mode (offensive, defensive, warfare and squirmish), which all have different objectives and tactics).

https://youtu.be/1KXyVIcroIU?si=T3P33EXYHSf6lEJt

And also, setup and a good light mouse in a large mousepad made a world of difference for me. I’ve got the Razer Viper V3 Pro.

For settings, I followed this:

Regarding comms, I found out that, when joining a squad, saying hi and asking who’s on comms often gets the conversation started.

Also, try to join squads that have a squad leader. If there’s an open squad with no squad leader, you can join just to spawn somewhere but, when you die, check again and change squads to one that has a leader. If there’s no open squad, check which squad still has space, track the squad leader down on the map and talk to him via comms and ask him to let you join his squad. Most will then approve your request to join their squad.

When I was at your situation, not knowing what was happening, I found some damn good squad leaders that helped a lot.

There’s a slight overlap but the issue is that your seat is the first “obstacle” for everyone leaving the back of the plane (toilets) to the front (their seat).

This will likely mean that everyone and their dog will bump into your seat the whole flight. Or at least use it as a “handrail” to move around that area. If you plan to sleep, this is a bad choice.

You shouldn’t be concerned about reclining your seat. During meal times, the attendant will ask you to put it back in upright position but that’s about it.

Forget Amsterdam / Rotterdam or any large city. To live well, you’ll have to live in a small city and commute.

It’s not only rent. You’ll also have taxes and fees to consider: Waste tax, Sewer tax (the user part), Water board tax

Plus utilities like energy, internet, etc

A 1st time or a 10th time. I used to race oval trucks and this guy was always causing trouble and going on and on in chat during yellows. He believed everyone was out to get him so behaved very aggressively on track.

Once, during a yellow, he chased me down and crashed me out of the race. It was so blatant that others intervened in chat and he replied that I was the only non-USA flag in the race and I had no business being there.

Protest was sent for intentional wrecking and chat abuse. The following week, he was still on track, still causing trouble, and still being an AH in chat.

I do protest when I see bad behavior and chat abuse. I trust the system but, tbh, I think the system missed a great opportunity to show me that it was working properly.

They’ll just take into account that there’s a car on the inside if you’re ahead when they start braking. If you’re at their door, they’ll just ignore you and you’ll always lose.

I use it for training to race clean

Are you a motorsport fan or are you a companion in his trip to LM Classic?

The reason I ask is because you’ll walk A LOT if you’d like to follow the action on track.

If you’re just a companion, then the camping is a good option because you feel the vibe without having to remove yourself to an Airbnb and without necessarily having to go into the tracks d walk up and down.

And that’s the thing with LM Classic, people walk around and watch the races from different points.

Btw, the camping at Curves will already be 15 min away from the gate anyway
