i reckon i can get a 30 with my FD since i fixed my line XD

tell everyone when you actually do.

Just a question, why is it that on Hakone 760HP/D is the best setting? It seems really counter-intuitive. Why does sliding help on Hakone?

Thanks in advance.

it doesn't.
Its just that mt physics allows sliding through corners with high speeds, rather than taking the whole pass slowly with grip.

Controlling the slide lets you take that advantage...and go thru corners faster.

Word...

I'm having trouble hitting 28's on IB and 29's on OB...
I'm close but i can't proceed any further due to lack of money to practice...D=

hope sum1 could teach me how to counter steer @ hakone (IB and OB)
i m having low exit speeds/ scratches during race

bit hard to explain in words, no?

try braking/throttle control as well... not only countersteer..

Make sure you're gripping the wheel's tubing; after a turn, release your grip and let it slide back to neutral. I mentioned this in another thread - it's useful for Automatic, especially where your footwork starts to factor in majorly.

Another suggestion, for both Auto and Manual, is to get a fix on where you want to go in the game (like that down the road toward that building), and reorient yourself towards that destination. Simply put, try keeping the car pointed down the road between the walls - not towards the walls; you want to win, not lose while causing massive traffic jams.

As for the footwork, using the gas instead of the brakes can help to keep your speed up; however, doing so raises the possibility of you sliding around. It's all about friction - the wheels turning against the ground (namely when you're jamming the gas) creates friction that makes it difficult to turn; subsequently, letting off the gas (and freezing the wheels) makes it easier to slide/turn around corners. For Automatic, this is absolutely critical; for Manual, it helps significantly.

I say for new guys on this map try using your left foot for the break pedal and try down shifting to slow down

well some red turns you dont need to brake at all and just left off the throttle a little bit and slide through.

i think most people do that already
=P

I still use my right foot to brake due to real life driving habits...
Left foot is occupied by the clutch...
I'm no Kai Kogashiwa that uses left-foot braking even on a manual car...-__-

i use right-foot. habit from real driving...

but i barely ever play hakone except for the occasional battle or ghost.

i use left foot for mt3/id4/id3
right foot bg4/real car

left foot brake for hakone

left foot brake even on bg4 ^^

practice makes perfect. Just practice your skills and you'll get better at it.

Is the R2 best in hakone?

@R
maybe
because r2 is small

nah the acceleration is what befalls the R2 in hakone. sure it might have godly handling, but that doesnt mean you dont need speed. thats why the RX series are good at it. because they have handling, but not that speed in the higher gears, not that you really need it on hakone...

lol so the RE's are the champs when it comes to Hakone?

wtf are u talking abt

i'll cut him some slack for this one..
i think he meant RX
