Did some hotlaps but I'm getting a bit frustrated 
Maybe it's due to bad sleep recently but man, last of the tight curves seems like you could catapult yourself in gear 2 and get a huge benefit, but only managed it on a lap which was otherwise... less than stellar.
I don't really understand the way this car works as in many turns, drifting is very fast, but in others, you lose like .4 like in the last corner. Needs work I guess.
Free Practice sectors before I realised that I'm in wrong mode
Time Trial sectors
Edit: Oh, also, my tune isn't default, I made the car stiffer. Feel free to discard the time for now, then. Which of the defaults should we use, circuit or rallycross? (Maybe the other was named gravel or something similar)

Its about the gearing while you. Drifting in 2nd gear with high revs will drift smoother and more efficient than being stuck in 3rd at low rev.
The car doesnt seem to like cornering in 3rd. I dont mind you guys running tuned setups though. Gives me a challenge
If i get that time this week, You are doing the lottery for me

Well I'm not saying we shouldn't use custom setups, it's Wraith's challenge but I think it just keeps it simpler, what would you guys prefer?
Haha.
Yeah I think the car is fastest when drifting, not designed to turn corners :lol:

I am happy either way. But default is much simpler and leads to more racing. I used to spend hours tweaking setups just for that 0.1s improvement. And getting frustrated by it too!
Let's leave it to Wraith though. As we Wheelers have a massive advantage over controller(ers), setups can make the controller(ers)
have a fighting chance. But at the same time, it gives us an even greater chance to pull ahead.

Cannot figure this car out, nowhere near.

Managed to get closer to Warchild but looz is still way out in front.
That's not a bad time at all, it is a tricky car to adjust to, keep at it.

I did a 1.03 something but it got disallowed cos of a mistake on a previous lap. The director is harsh AF!

Didn't realise you were using auto, I assumed everyone with a wheel used manual.
Yeah it's pretty annoying when you go round with the next invalidated and then it's your fastest lap even though the mistake didn't give you an advantage.

Yeah, seems that key is having the car banging the rev limiter in first corner and also the squiggly bits. I even drop to gear 1 after back straight. Otherwise the car tends to bog down and you'll get a sluggish exit. You might also regain grip at an awkward angle.
But after my runs so far me and the race director aren't on speaking terms anymore.
