Oversteer? I'm experiencing understeer with the car. The tires rarely spin though. Only in 2nd gear.

Oh yeah!!!!! New lap for me:
Finish: 01'21.xx2
Gearing still at 350 and no aids. Very happy, I lost traction in a couple of points momentarily and also had slightly bad lines into one or two corners so there's maybe 0.2 - 0.3 left in it for me but I'm happy so far 👍
If ya'll haven't re-addressed License test IA-10 it's a very good place to start

Do I sense a promotion soon?
I tried 350, and it seems to short for me, so I've gone 360. Lets say I'm still in the 1'22s, but the 1'21s will come down sooner rather then later. The hardest corners for me on this track are
- The second corner,
- The left hander after the first right sweeper, and
- The last corner
Lots of time to be made on those

Yeah I'm pretty stoked so far, I reckon there'll be a flood of folk coming into the 1'21's though....a promotion huh? You know in all the races I've run I've never placed in the top 1/3rd of the participants...not once, so I suspect if I get promoted I'll be demoted fairly promptly but it would be fun to be a "fearless driver" for a little while 
Oh and those corners you mentioned are kinda tricky, I find that long sweeping right hander (about the third corner) the tricky one, I tend to lose a lot of traction there which can be costly.

This week will be my first week in WRS. I'll need to do the qualifier race first and then I'll head towards Fuji... I'll see how well I can do.

Bloody hell, I'm looking all you guys in the low 1'20's, I've only done about 10 laps so far but my times up around the 1'30's mark still, I must be taking a couple of corners very wrong.
EDIT: I've only not been in the bloody quick tune and increased the power and decreased the weight

I don't know how you guys (and girls?) do it. I just did 50 laps and the best clean lap I could do was just under 1'29. Sometimes I know what the line is and I try to drive it, but I just don't have the control, but with this track even if I do nail a corner just right, and set myself up nicely for the next one I still manage to screw it up eventually. Those last few corner are really hard to get because you have no visual reference to the apex until it is too late. But even if I get everything right on a lap it is still 5 seconds behind everyone else

Like I said before, license test IA-10 is the best place to start. The pace car drives a good line and you'll see where you might be able to save time, get a gold on that test and you'll be apples this week 👍

practice heaps with the DFP, have faith in yourself to be able to control and turn off all driving aids, the ability to feather the throttle to get good corner pace will no doubt see your times drop, a problem i found, if i left the driving aids on was i drove the track all ham-fisted and hard and always got crap times, but since i stopped using them i have picked up my pace out of sight, would still be in Div 3 if i hadn't changed my driving style...
on a side note regarding my times, just did a 1'21 and am happy with it coz i doubt i will get any faster...
