To everyone who races on ace mode at a race length of 100%

On average, how many times do you spin of during a race?

I worked out that I spin of on average about 4 times.

Mostely ones, depends on which circuit. On Barcelone I mostely spin of for 10 times, every time on the same place

How many Montoyas do we have in here?

4 times in one race? You should call yourself Yoong.

REHAB IS FOR QUITTERS

Well I am currently doing a 1973 season as James Hunt.

So far at the Interlagos race and into the sseason, I had a little off so far.

I am currently doing a 1961 season.

Raced at Waltkins Glen and spin for 2 times.

Now I had a big off at the last corner and crashed into the pit wall I was running a good position of 7th for my March!

Oh well, next race is at Kyalami.

In GP3 around 1 in 30 (as I've only done that many).
In GPL around every third lap.

I'm racing at Canada (Larry O' Meara's - incredible!) on 100%. I haven't spun yet, and I'm on lap 50 of 70.....though its been a bit hairy recently, tyres really not doing well at all.

I just tried to to a 100% distance race on ace mode at Barcelona with Fernando Alonso, and only spun the once - lap 48 on the exit of turn 6 and going into turn 7. I only lost 1 place to Rubens Barrichello, and could'nt catch him as he was closing on me anyway. I completed the race and finished 4th. Not bad, huh?!

Arse, got a loose wheel and crashed out at Macau (alternative track for Montjuich Park as I am waiting for Schubert to finish his Montjuic track)

I'm forever spinning at Turn Three in Spain. Just far to eager to get on the power early.

In general it depends on the track. Hockenheim 2002 is a royal pain (the corner after the tight hairping is oversteer heaven). Some others like Silverstone, Melbourne, A1, Imola and Malaysia I usually complete without a spin.

In Argentina I never spin and always win. Meanwhile the CC's always seem to run wide on the exit of turn three, get stuck in the gravel and retire.

Being a Keyboard User I spin about atleast 2 times, But i know i can do better with the steering.

He he he he Now that was funny !

I think the worst problem is about tyres. Why in GP3 they start to ruin just after five or ten laps on a 100% race mode? They should keep their consistence so that we would be able to push right before the pit, as in real F1. Actually I changed Arrows team for a new Renault team, with Mcnish and myself. Now, on training Renault runs with four top drivers, and I usually fight with Alonso for best positions.
On races 100% mode, I spin most because of the tyres than driving skills.

Thank you all, this is my premiere at forum!!!

Well, normally, a maximum of 1 time. I drive with keyboard. Whats so difficult about keeping rhitim during a race?

I drive with a keyboard.

Already try with a steering, but i do it better with a keyboard (Don't know why...)

Welcome to the forum, gildoorf.

Nice to meet you X_Acto

Spins are always inevitable. One or two per race at least. Say 'bout the tires again.

Hey, i've just finshed my Zeltweg's sunday testing and placed first with 1:08.706, as renault driver running at matti laitinen's track 2002.
Second to Schumacher 1:08.776. Alonso just fifth with 1:09.102.
Now i'm chilling out to Nadja Auermann!

What about you?

See ya

Well, gildoorf, as i said before i am currently doing a 1961 season and done the qualifying session at the Ring (Get the Pole 5 secs faster than Von Trips!)

In this track i always spin lots of times but i like the track a lot.

Meanwhile, i start the race...
