51MPL^ SG

Hey all,
I need Help on Akagi in Ver. 2, how do i do the turns well?(without a lot of wall contact) especially the first 1, when i get to it i'm at 150k's, do i fully brake and shift up then turn?. After the first part i can do the last hairpins pretty well, i can get thru them without wall contact, i just need help on teh rest, wat style i shud do. Like brake then upshift and turn or just power thru without ne brakes? I hav an Evo VII option C fully tuned, and i just got a dc2 option d, (cos ppl say they fast) I can only do 2:30 atm usin my evo during a battle, so i think a few secs faster on time attack mode. Can sum1 give me sum pointers on the hairpins and the first turn plz.

Here's a link 2 my cars

i'm a bit of an akagi spec so i'll try to help you out...i run 2'27 with my R34 (top time for R34 in the world is 2'25 high)..for the first turn..you can find my explaination in here... http://www.sgforums.com/?action=thread_display&thread_id=72088 .... for most of the turns, letting go accel or light braking is the style..never heavy braking..except for the V turn, the steep right turn..oh yeah and the best car for akagi down is the S14Q's, believe it or not..

Thanks for help but just 1 question, on the first turn (down) i’m at 150+ b4 the corner so do i heavy brake and shift up to 4th or 3rd and turn ?

51MPL^ SG

I dunno if it’s called Akina or Akagi, but it’s got the 5 hairpins near the end and it’s got UH and DH… i use a 4WD , so any1 got tips?

HIRA SG

i think u mean akagi since you talk about a sharp left turn at the beginning..

HIRA SG

u mean shift down right? yeah shift down to 4th (5th for a 6 gear car) , brake then just steer towards the apex...always block the apex in battles..

51MPL^ SG

Do i brake the whole way thru the first corner? or just the start b4 i downshift, then accel rite after i brake.. for the rest of the turns i just turn rite? no downshifting?

jb_koala SG

yay, today did 124… slowly improving~ gambatte~

HIRA SG

i cant explain it to u..you have to base on ur feel and experiment..

Impreza WRX SG

I won't say which car is good for Akagi because actually different cars excel at different turns in Akagi. I use WRX and for Akagi DH the last 5 turns, the first 4 you can go at 138. the last one before the finish line can go at 145. I don't know why but I think these turns, use 4WD is easier. But the first turn at Akagi DH is a nightmare. This one no choice for 4WD, must brake quite hard to reduce the speed as 4WD turning radius very big and going into this turn at a high speed is asking for trouble.

As for when to downshift or accelerate, experiment because this 2 things depend on your steering.

HIRA SG

S14 Q's is the fastest on akagi..no if and buts..no other car has got 2.21..

jb_koala SG

dont u think that akagi turn is similar to the turn on akina after the 1st hairpin? a right followed by a sharp left.... hmm... mayb i can try same technique.... never thought of that.... Shocked

HIRA SG

yeah you're right! they do require the same technique...on that soft right on akina, it's also better to cut into the gutter on the right...then after coming out of it, immediately steer into the left turn with downshifting and braking..remember to take the apex... Wink

jb_koala SG

for akina, i just feint on that part. mayb i try feinting faster. coz in akagi, the left turn arrives a lot faster after the turn, gamabatte ikimasu yo. Very Happy

HIRA SG

For version 2, it’s dc2…that’s why it is boring, coz almost everyone is using a dc2….for version 3, it’s more varied…well got a lot of WRX’s and Evos, but at least it corresponds to real-life ability more..in version 2, there’s so many cars for nothing…

J-RZA-80 SG

but that is ver. 3 rankings...cause he is talking about ver. 2...and the R-34 world record for ver. 2 is 2.18...but for ver. 3 i don't know yet, but if it's 2.25 for ver. 3 than that means i can hit that time when ver. 3 comes
