When he says "medium", I jam it in 3rd gear to slow down and back to 4th as I exit. I don't let off the gas at all for easy turns.
I don't remember there being any "hard" turns on the beginner track, but that is the only time I use the brake.
I don't know if I'm any good. I can easily get first place on the desert every time, but I've only finished the championship once or twice before time ran out.
I'll get some play time in and post a time tomorrow.
Is it possible to swap the wiring between the potentiometers on your brake and clutch or is the brake some kind of pressure sensor?

Thanks for the reply and explanation. The question regarding the brakes was one I was meaning to ask a while ago, *before* I got PPJOY and my virtual brake working with Model 2 emu. So it's all good now I have it working great but was still curious nonetheless.
About swapping the wires between the potentiometers on my brake and clutch, that is out of the question, since yes indeed my brake has a pressure sensor on it called a "Load Cell", which measures the amount of force you apply to the pedal. These are ones I have.

Sheesh man, I wouldn't want you to go overboard with your hardware or anything. ;)
I like that overhead design though. I'm going to do my pedals like a car (note I didn't say race car) so I want to mount the brake and clutch overhead. I think I've got most of that stuff lying around in my junk pile believe it or not. I always seem to have mountains of scrap metal and old car parts.... must be a hillbilly thing. ;)
You might want to pull out a multi-meter and see what kind of data the load cell is sending back to the pcb.... you'd be surprised, sometimes it just acts like a pot. Almost any kind of computer sensor just sends variable resistance by the time it plugs into the pc... it just makes programming easier.

My buddy's Porsche 911 (non turbo :( ) has the pedals coming out of the floorboard, its pretty great for heal toe shifting /drifting / turning . Super fun to drive.

I drive a Datsun and its only got two pedals :(
