How to: gold in Monza on a controller?

[Lightpilgrim]

Dear community,

I wanted to ask for some help and guidance. I am trying to do gold in Monza (circuit experience).

I have done all sectors gold many times, but cannot just put a lap time together. I am getting closer and my last attempt is 0.4 sec of Gold. But I just do not know how to get faster.

I am playing on a controller. Any suggestions? What did help you? Do you set up a car? Do you have specific set up of the controller?

Thanks for your help!

But I just do not know how to get faster.

There is no secret.
Basically: do it like with the sectors, just without interuption in between.
You will get it at some point.

You could try to increase controller sensitivity if you haven't done it yet. Maybe helps turning in Rettifilo?

Turning in Rettifilo?

Turning in Rettifilo?

The first chicane.

Do you mean Prima Variante? Was not aware it is called this wat before

The first chicane.

Without having seen any of your runs, everything is a bit of a guess of course. One advice that comes to my mind is > Use more curbs ( to the extremes if necessary ) optimizing your cornering speed and exits. < I'd say start with Lesmo 2 and Ascari - if you really nail these my bet is you gain enough time to gold the full lap.

On a sidenote : I read quite a couple of your posts and I think you're on a good way. Just keep on practicing ...

Thank you very much for sharing the advice. I was very close…0,4 sec off. I thought it is this time! But! I need to be a bit more patient. But what I will learn, will help me further:-)

I did it!!!

What I think helped me, indeed, is increasing a bit controller sensitivity.

Never heard of the alternative names, but good to know. Thanks:-)

I think I will not focus on the Red Bull Ring after Monza. I liked Barcelona in F12023, but somehow do not like this track in GT7, possibly because of the last chicane

I also wanted to ask a general question to all tracks. How to learn breaking points? I try to watch the ghost, but cannot exactly see the specific breaking point and the amount of breaking applied. Also, I plan of a controller and It is not as easy to break 30-40% or accelerate progressively without causing a wheel spin. How do people do it?
