mmm... sounds strange mate,
I can't speak for a wheel-user ASM wise, but for me on controller it dit nothing...
I know i made a big difference in time by exit T5 in 4th , often i briefly search for the apex in 3th and give a tiny bit of throttle to not get to close to the inner curb and when i hit the curb full pull in 4th.... you can realy step on it early and it will pull you uphill nicely.
Plus T10... i just can't get it to work staying in 4th....., i hit 3th and sometimes even need to give extra throttle to avoid the inner salami, then exit in 4th again... for me seems to be the way to go..
Maby throw in your lap here and then we can compare splits to see where the problem lies?
