Even though I'm not racing, I did some running tonight. Looks like I can hit a 53 in qualifying but my race pace is in the mid to low 54s. Setup is similar to what I had for Infield A II but the transmission is adjusted slightly. Again, you'll need to flip the transmission to set it exactly how I have it (
instructions on how to flip).
Now to reveal my secrets:
For the start, use TC 1 and start in 2nd gear at 60 to 70% throttle. Once I get going, I click off TC when I shift to third. Skipping the 1st to 2nd shift saves a ton of time. That's how I was always a rocket off the line.
On track, don't go lower than 3rd gear (only possible with the transmission tune I have). That eliminates a shift in the low speed section and saves rear tires as well.
And since I did a decent amount of running, here's a practice start with one hot lap afterwards, so you can see how I drive (the laps weren't perfect but still decently quick):
