Shanghai track and its driveability...??!!

Just wondering if it is just me, but using the keyboard, I quite often find the car doesnt want to turn on the ideal driving line in turns' 10 or 16. I really find Turn 16 the worst, with the car running way wide of the apex, and off onto the runoff on the outside of the corner, 9 times out of 10! This naturally makes driving the track, very difficult!! I have toyed with the idea of switching on a few driver aids for this race only, just so I can get my car around the track for 56 laps of racing.
I get the same sort of problems with Turn 10....
The version of the track I use is from the 2008 Trackpack, over at GP4DB.com http://www.gp4db.com/index.php?category=tracks&section=2008

Just curious to know if it is just me, or whether it is my poor driving...LOL

why don't you try this version: [gp4notebook.blogspot.com]

in my opinion is the current 9b command position that starts too early (between sector 4 and/or 7 when it should be 9) next to CC-Line internal angle that should have closed and not open like on this curve... i said :p

Turned some laps at the track from this link, and it appears to be a great improvement! Thanks for the link! At least now I can hopefully enjoy a decent run at this weekends Chinese GP.

wow ... changed "six by half a dozen"? this version 2 (gp4notebook) is the same as that in gp4db (see readme.txt)

Whatever the case, I seemed to be able to drive this "new" version much easier! Must be a state of mind thing....

This is a blog where I found the best tracks 09' including a drivable Shanghai:

Those tracks are updated and released without permission of the authors that made the track in the first place !!!

The first and second sectors i can match the AI cars no problem.

But that last sector, the closest i can get is 5 hundredths.

What is it about that last sector!?

Shift down 2 gears and when cutting into the corner, go down one more.
