I change it on a car by car basis, mostly to reduce understeer on corner entry. I change between 2, 5 and 10 depending on car and track.

Can't for the life of me get even a bronze on Lake Louise. Watched a replay, they are very sideways. Tried that and still slow. 4 seconds off a bronze. Should I just give up or are there some easy tips for rally?

Back a bit ago, GT5, maybe, Sebastian Loeb said, traction is faster. Don’t peel out, don’t turn too much.

Try to keep the slide angle as small as possible, anything over 30 degrees/2 o'clock and you'll be losing time

I tried yesterday over and over to get a Bronze at Lake Louise, and the best I could do was 1:46.405, and that lap went together so much better than the others but I was too tense on the last S bend and lost loads of time going very slow, so it felt like that was my chance and I blew it.
My optimal over many laps was 1:45.584 which also made me think I couldn't find much time anywhere else. I tried ABS 0 and 5 but 5 bogged down too much and was ultimately slower but the extra power from 0 makes sliding easier but also the power goes nowhere.
Jumped on this lunch time, default settings, fresh and not expecting to do it, had a couple of restarts as I bumped the side before even starting a lap, but suddenly everything came together and I was finding a good line closer in to the corners and keeping decent speed and actually did a 1:45.071 first lap out! Totally buzzing, something clicked overnight and I have achieved something by persisting.
Thanks for the encouragement and tips, I noticed when I logged back in there was even more advice posted since I last checked! Such a friendly place. Thanks @Barareklam I'll check that out. Starting to get into rallying a bit more as I figure it out!

I am glad this is finished. This TT was horrendous. All my stints where all over the place all the time, one time gaining a lot in one turn, the other lap losing a lot in the same exact turn, and it changes at every lap and every turn.
Optimal is so far away from best lap each time, it is absolutely infuriating.
Good riddance.

Not quite my discipline, this thing. My attempt at this from two nights ago here. Satisfied to have managed it in just about 200 kms though. I'm trying to cut down on time spent (unless I happen to absolutely love a certain combo).
Really well done, some of you others here! ❄️❄️
