Small improvement. Very difficult to push the car. It can handle turning while braking just fine, but acceleration is a different story. Of course I mean ds3 use. I can see where the time is but going for it just send me straight into the grass. So this is as fast I can probably go while still feeling I'm under control of this nervous little ride...

If you're willing to come to the dark side, try putting Traction Control on 5-7... Makes life heaps easier 👍
 
I settled on 7 in the end and found I could be pretty aggressive everywhere except the exit from the left at the bottom of the hill and the exit of the loop

No more time today will give it a try tomorrow, my exit from the loop is lethargic so I can only improve I hope 👍
 
Three turns I found most important :
S1 turn 2: you can get on full throttle before apex, the downforce and weight transfer actually helps the car to turn
S2 turn 2: I try to be very smooth and do all braking (not much really needed) before turning and obviously try to carry as much speed as you can.
S2 the loop: I turn first towards the first apex, then brake and let the car coast wide, get most of the turning done in the middle of the corner and accelerate towards 2nd apex.

Taking these three corners well can make two seconds difference. That's twice as much as all other corners combined.

I realize this is pretty useless info. Aliens will laugh at it and DS3 users won't find it helpful.

Speaking from myself I only can thank you for sharing that 👍 I have to recover from 2 positive handicaps in a row ;)
 
I tried the rear-bias brakes that you guys have been posting. 👍 4/5 BB and I took 2 tenths off my lap time in a fairly short amount of time.

Still pretty sure I'm stopping for a cafe' in T3 though, way too leisurely. :grumpy:

I don't know if anyone has taken notice, but if you change the bb in the ra menu, exit and go into car settings (maybe meaning to save a replay) it saves your adjusted bb in the tuning menu. I believe this would invalidate a submission.
 
Stupid phone.

Anyway, it seems once you have gone into settings it will continue saving your bb until you exit the track at least.

After a fruitless Friday, I've finally managed to find a tenth. Slow in S3, though. Found that shifting BB rearwards and basically powersliding into the hairpins helps in S1 and 2 (although a bit slower in 3).

Edited because I looked at the wrong lap replay. Duh.

It's almost over this week and finally i drove my first session in this car.
This car is so much fun to drive that i had to force myself to stop driving.

26.086
57.070

Tomorrow another drive to try and improve these numbers.
 
It took me way too long to begin to figure out T2. I am ok wih my T3, now to figure out how people are getting .6 and .7s in T1.

I was going to post updated splits, but not anymore. I did not improve in T1 and T2, but somehow improved on my lap time. I won't submit my lap time this week.
