8-3 help

I have been having trouble with this the entire time. I have gold on everything except this one. Any one have any tips? Also, please don't say 'turn off driving aids'. I need to use driving aids to even be able to stay on the road.

Slow in... fast out. Braking early is key. Let the nose of the car come around as much as possible before throttling out. You'll hold more grip and have faster exit speeds, therefore faster times. If you are sliding at all in the turns you are losing time. Don't be afraid to let off the throttle for stability.

Have you actually tried driving without the aids? What have you got turned on?

TCS on 5, ABS on 1, and driving line. Yes, I have tried without driving aids, and it is much harder.

Don't smack the throttle during consecutive turns. Not only will you car be more unstable it also win induce some nasty understeer during the twisties

I have already figured that out. It seems that not full brake can help in some cases too.

Slow in fast out. Always and forever.

It may seem like you're losing time by entering the corners slow but where you really lose time is going in too fast and sliding out and being late back to the throttle.

Trying to stay on 4th gear start to finish, and controlling your accelerate. My best time so far: 0:37.780

My tip that goes for every event. Download the fastest replay and look and learn. You will probably see some corner that he/she does completely different. I have shaved seconds of my times doing that in GT5.

Don´t get to intimidated by the cones.
First corner I did a slight lift to take the right really tight but with decent speed (130+ I think).
Take the left kink also tight and brake a bit earlier into 3rd and slowly accel out (speed must have been 75-85kph for the right).
For the long right stay in 3rd at 93-98kph. Accel out into 4th and stay there till end.
The Double left can be done in 4th with 130+kph you only have to gently brake for the first one.
=> I did a 36.005 (DS3 no aids ABS1 MT)

First part is the loosing sector due to them Pylons (At least for me )

I agree with downloading the fastest time, once you've done that you just need to go a little slower than it and you should gold the event., also bring the TC down to 1, should make ypu faster.

Can anyone convert the speeds into MPH please? It hurts my brain to do so my self.

I don't know the formula.

 

[Spurgy 777]

Times by 0.62

 

[OnlyMe]

kph -> mph = divide by 1.62

Doesn't matter now, I finally got gold.
