--- Quote ---I was watching some Best Motoring Videos while waiting for the next ID release and saw the drivers do something that doesnt make sense to me:
After braking into a corner and accelerating towards the next they often touch the brake pedal.
No idea why... ???

Another reason is sometimes they find themselves going too fast.  It again has to do with weight transfer.  If the racing line for the turn turn can be taken with the accelerator down and at say, 100mph based on grip, track bank, etc, you will want to take advantage of that.  but if you come out of the previous corner  and you know you will exceed 100 before you hit the straight, you're better off letting off the accelerator or possibly even press brake if exceeeding 100.  this will slow or hold ur car until you hit the point where you can accelerate and bring the car to exactly 100 for the bend.  in this way, you can get the car to "balance" back before the corner and give you optimal grip and allow you to take the corner as fast as possible and get you the best exit speed and acceleration.  
the previous post on pressuring the line is also correct.  it all comes down to what will get you the fastest lap time, different corners and following straights/corners will dictate what drivers choose to do.  at least the professional ones.   ;D

yay! raws are out; subs can't be far off. =)  keep up the great work live-evil!  

Ryouske:
does anyone know how long live usually is with initial D?

randomdriver:
it really varies.  i seem to remember there was once where they had a turn around of less than 2 days.  but then again, there was that time for 7 and 8 that took over a month.  but in the end, it's a free service that they provide out of the goodness of their heart.  =)  just sit tight and read up on the f1 news or watch some nextel racing and it'll be out before ya know it.

thx for the great work so far live-evil-ers  and hopefully we can "pressure" you guys into a fast turn around.  =P
