I was lighting up the tyres all the way round Monaco. Which lead to several spins! I suspect it will be easier to win with the engine turned down a touch, to maybe 85%??
Any thoughts people?
You can win Eifel easily with the F2007 in the OCD. TCS & ABS on 1. Do an oil change & adjust top speed. (I think I set it to 330km/h - 205 mph.) After fighting pretty hard in this race for the win with my tuned F2010 & F2007, using the OCD car was a walk in the park... 👍 I won by over 10 sec without even pushing hard.

Monza (got used to F1 again), Spa, no issue (fast), Eifel, no issue (fun), London, practice, practice, practice, laps get faster, made one slight error, 1st by 1.548 secs. Cote d'zur...we'll see...
Probably the best seasonal yet as far as speed, concentration, and total focus...
OK I have the LSD set down low, to minimise under steer IIRC but will try it with it turned up to 45!

NOTES:
This car is very quick if you can be smooth in your turning (I recommend Active Steering for DS3 users). As with any car at high speed it is very hard to keep control through fast corners (especially Spa). I managed to win with this tune at Spa by 18sec. Very quick but this car is not forgiving at all. One mistake and you will find yourself swimming through sand Happy racing 👍
You want the LSD super low. I have mine set to 5/5/14 it's perfect.
Wow, this time the challenge is really... challenging! So far I've only tried Monaco (won by 2 secs) and Spa (9 secs) but I have to say, it's not that easy. I'm definitely going to finish it all and then try Spa and Monaco a couple more times.
Been a little busy so I hadn't had time to tackle this event but started on it yesterday and had a blast racing the F1 cars 1 ! Won at Monza but having some issues with the other tracks ! Still a blast though !
A little tip: use the F2007 for Monza, Spa and the Eifel track. It has better aero than the F10. The F10 has better mechanical grip, so it is better for the city circuits.
Monaco is driving me crazy. Whilst I admit I'm pretty rubbish in F1 cars I've won and enjoyed all the others. Did them with cockpit view and no abs or tc, with the 2007 standard from the ocd, except London, for which I used the 2010 with Shoe's tune (thanks for sharing, it was a blast). I can't say they were easy but they were a fun challenge.
The best I've managed at Monaco after countless attempts is bronze with the 2007. I've tried the 2010 and it's a good second a lap quicker but the AI are even quicker still. I don't think I've struggled so much since the Lambo Nordschliefe one. What with the bloody AI practically coming to a standstill where there's no room to pass then tearing away on the straights, and having to use full lock on the hairpin and let the wheel spin back through my hands (in an F1 car!), I'm close to giving up.
By giving up I mean putting on srf, cutting the chicane, and drifting and barging my way to the front. Tell me I shouldn't do it.
... Tell me I shouldn't do it.
You shouldn't do it! you can take em'! Don't know how it goes w the wheel, but the hairpin u described sounds frustrating to say the least and way unrealistic...
I felt like giving up too .. Too stubborn though. I just practiced harder! Went to practice mode and tweaked the chassis and worked on my line .. My goal before making another attempt was with consistent comfortable lap times of 1:16.2 .. Till I could mirror that ghost time (lap after lap) I wasn't ready... When I did that I knew I would step it up in the race and consistent 1:15's would follow...
Monaco is a stubborn breed .. She doesn't like to be overdriven...
Stick w it 👍👍
...w some in race practice too the AI as usual become predictable .. And you will know ahead of time how to adjust your line to whoop em!
Edit: you will have to be aggressive w the AI at times .. If that's what you mean by drifting and barging .. Move or be moved lol .. For the most part though clean passes are possible...timing is everything.
Turn steering sensitivity down maybe?
It doesn't work with the DFGT or G25. You're stuck with 900 degrees unfortunately. It's a real pain at Monaco. I have to let go of the wheel, accelerate and let it self-centre.
Hi,
I recommand you to try this :

I have the G25 and 450° is fine on Monaco 👍
Well I never. Cheers for pointing that out. It made all the difference. For the first time I felt I was actually in control rather than flailing about wildly. I could see that I was a second a lap quicker straight away and after a couple of restarts won at Monaco with a lap to spare. And no need to resort to srf.
I've got a G25 so I hope it works for skeagracing's DFTG. I had a DFGT until recently and I searched everywhere for a way to change the steering angle and everyone seemed to think it was not possible. I thought the same was true of the G25.
London done,that was intense,still in 2007ocd car,using ds3....quickest lap 40s dead..total time 6min 51....took lead on last lap in the tight left,right,left....full downforce,some ballast at the front,tcs on 2....ratios giving 178 mph...now that was a challenge for me.
