This thing is making me tear my hair out... I cannot do the 2nd corner anywhere near as fast as my friends can for some reason. Every time I try and do it the car runs very wide so I have to go slow, and either way I lose out. I've only managed silver so far (around 1:35 ish)

Since this car can't go that fast, it's not that tough to handle. Keep trying. As soon as I golded this event, I decided that driving this 'CAR' is enough.
Just like other TT's, You've to take risks. For further convenience, switch on the racing line!

Here is one advice i have not yet seen here:
Build up speed for the starting line by taking the tight righthander leading up to it as wide as possible. You can actually go a carlength or so outside the cones to the left without being redlapped. This Means you shouldn't run consecutive laps as the FASTEST way through that corner is much tighter.

I did gold by shifting earlier and not running it to redline. I guess the torgue is enough to pull it faster midrange. That was certainly lots of fun to make a big old car work like that. Although the 15 Ann 2nd race was great fun in the Daytona, I could not get gold until I switched to the Audi rally car. And HAD A BLAST !!! Got gold my first lap....that I could keep it on the track. lol

I remember shifting early, really early helped a lot. I want to say at 6000RPM? Like Stotty mentioned, SRF is a real shame. There needs to be separate leaderboards, or just remove the SRF all together. SRF, the Need For Speed Simulator!

I had a good 2 hour go on this, this afternoon! I'm with everyone else on the SRF issue, but I'll use it to still get up the leaderboards I guess until something changes. You still have to drive this car so so smooth to get really really top times, I'm still miles off rank 1 and can definitely see how to do it, but not sure I have the patience with SRF and other things, but still some skillful smooth driving in there!
Here's a video of it at least anyway if anyone was interested in lines/throttle/brake etc. As this got me rank 4 at the time? 1:26.506

Turn SRF on and job done!
Yeah I just realised I had it off. Dumb question, but how do you load other people's laps to use as a ghost car?

I feel dirty, but just turned SRF on and got an instant 1:32.1 👍Turn SRF on and job done!
I feel like I've spent far too much time on this challenge now to dwell on the guilt. On to the next thing...

Can't believe you didn't get penalized for killing that one cone Tidg.Great lap though and thanks for taking the time to post it. 👍
Haha cheers
, I did wonder whether I would or not in previous attempts so after finding out it literally was track limits there was no question then haha

I love this Hudson Got 1:31.1xx with no aids - no SRF
Scratch that : 1:30.748 - 2nd fastest on my friend list with no SRF, no1 without SRF and aids.
I'll see if I can beat 1:30.500 done with ABS1 by a friend.
EDIT : Damn, just red lapped a 1:30.1xx
Finally nailed a clean great lap : 1:30.250

I looked and only had the ABS 1 on, so I turned that off and I guess have been driving all the time with the SRF off. I don't remember turning it off, so I thought I had it on and was trying to figure out how you guys could keep it on the tracks when it was so borderline with it on. I can't get the times you guys usually get, but at least I am close and also running no aids so I don't suck quite as bad as I thought I did.

I can't get any better than 1:35 on this race after many tries. Can one of you expert drivers post your lap on here so I can get some pointers? Thank you!

This is probably the fastest lap you will see uploaded;
And I'll copy and paste my previous advice
Make sure you have skid recovery force on in the drivings aids, switch TC off, make sure you come out of all corners in 2nd gear unless you're going less that 35mph, and shift from 2nd to 3rd at 60mph. Other than that just keep practicing and try to drive smoothly. Also remember mistakes loose you more time than sacrificing a little bit of speed, so if you keep messing up a corner, try taking it a little slower and gradually build up more speed.

If anyone interested I can attach my best lap replay so it can be used as a ghost line or just to learn It's done without any aids ( no ABS ) and no SRF at 1:30.250
