So when we swap drivers does the setup stay the same?

I believe so we will have to find a happy medium lol as long as I can keep the car on track and brake ok I'm good you guys are a few seconds faster than me so I plan to focus on consistency and staying out of trouble lol

I remember you saying you were having a hard time with no ABS. Have you tried re-calibrating your brakes every time you log on? I noticed for me anyway that the first time I touch the brakes in the game they are super sensitive just like in GTSport. When your calibrating your brakes, make sure your pressing the pedal as hard as you can or as hard as you think you'll ever use them in an "oh sh**" moment. This will make you have to use more pedal when your racing because it sets your 100% benchmark much higher but it will help keep you from locking up.

I bet that’s it. You’ll see as soon as you touch the brake pedal it will go right to 100%. Each time you press it harder, it will reset a new benchmark. I have to reset mine every time I log on.

I suggest making the decision on what car you're going to drive and just practicing with that one

It’s a tricky combo. It took me a while to get comfortable with it. The trickiest part is that first set of esses. Once your tires are hot you can drive it down in there pretty deep but make sure your wheels are straight when you get on the brakes. Also you don’t need to lift when you shift that car.

Yeah you have to look out the window net to see the apex and then find a spot to start turning and trust that your going to hit it. Every time I go into that chicane it’s like an educated guess
 
@TexasJDC this may also help you as it has certainly helped me. I know everybody has probably seen this talked about 10,000 times but I think it really does make a big difference. The second link is a calculator that I used to set my FOV based off of my monitor size and position. My screen is a 32" set 34" from my eyes and the FOV is at 70% (10% more than ideal but still allowed) and my wheel lines up perfect with the wheel on the screen. Once you have it set up right you can see why having 3 monitors is so beneficial.
