Yeah i have known about wall riding before but have chosen not to use it because it takes the fun out of trying to go faster on skill and consistency
With wall-riding you could probably get down to a 22:30 but were is the fun in that

Why?
The sole purpose of the race it tomaximize credits/hour by using setups that make the PP requirement possible. And still, there are a couple of more corners in this race where skill is still needed in order to be fast.

Self-fulfilling prophecy.
You already suspected someone would call it lame. And here I am ...Honestly, I'd feel ashamed if I'd start wall riding ( anytime, anywhere ), even if the only purpose was maximizing credits.
But don't worry, that's just me.

The 962 is also one of my favourite cars in the game its a shame it uses so much fuel when trying to lap Sardegna

Just spotted the just kidding 🤣, you have been pushing me so mush to catch your times, i would be disappointed if it was from wall riding bit me eventually getting your times shows it can be achieved with dedication to improve overall. Dont think this thread would be as fun if we all started wall riding.

Did some runs tonight but not many, couldn’t lower my time but i looked at my optimum lap at one point and it was close to the 1:26:9, dont know if i could string a perfect lap together, when im on for a fast lap i still make a small mistake somewhere.
I have realised wind direction plays a massive part on the handling of the car like the wrond wind direction can lower the top speed through a corner by like 10km/h and i struggle to get into a good rhythm. I think best wind condition is a tailwind down the main straight as it also helps through turn 12 and 13 with more grip

Anyone up for a test of 4 cars to see which one is the best handling and speed and fuel saving at?
The 4 cars I have in mind are the.
Aston Martin Vulcan 2015
McLaren P1 GTR
Ferrari FXX-K
Pagani Zonda 09
I would love to know which car is the fastest in this event and which car is the best at fuel saving.
I have 3 of the 4 so if anyone has the fxx-k and can run it let me know.

I can give it a try on all of them. But I believe all 4 of them will have crap fuel consumption. Probably 2 stoppers unless you want to nerf HP by a lot, and thus performance.

The CRB is pretty much guaranteed for this race. I've spun out hitting the barriers and purposely ram the AI cars hard and still got the CRB. This is why I think this grind is better than the Tokyo grind, even though the payout is smaller, because I don't have to worry about not getting the CRB. Plus I don't have to worry about wet weather driving like in the Tokyo race.Wait wait wait wait... We can even wall ride this race and not lose the clean race bonus???
Gonna try that tonight
Wall riding may be quicker but probably difficult to pull off perfectly. You have to be careful not to suffer any mechanical damage, because that will actually slow you down if the damage is severe enough.
I was on target for a 22:44 run with the R92CP the other night but spun out on the last lap. I'm still pissed off about it. I guess I lost focus for a bit and forgot that the tires do start losing grip in the last 2 laps or so of the stint as they're getting close to being worn out, but the wind and traffic were really favorable in that race, and I did 3 successive laps in 1.27.0xx in the first stint.
I used Turbodatsun's setup, which is the best R92CP setup I've tried so far, although it still suffers from understeer in high speed turns, but it's not too bad. The fastest lap I've ever done with this setup is 1:26.8xx. Fuel consumption is a big issue though, so really need to keep an eye on it.
Btw, I don't wall ride or abuse track limits (although it's inevitable sometimes), and I try not to over-rev on downshifts either to help to slow the car down when braking. I do try to force my way past the AI cars when possible (i.e., that doesn't result in mechanical damage). I use a wheel (G923), and the only driving aid I use is ABS on default.

Thank you so much.
I did test the 3 cars I have using custom race with the same setup as the real event tires x12 and fuel X8.
Manual transmission and short shifting.
Running on fuel map 4 since I think that's the middle ground for decent fuel saving while maintaining good HP.
Aston Martin Vulcan 2015 - 4/5 - 0.2 - No wonder this car is class as a road car it as the fuel tank of one to.
Lap times around 1.42
McLaren P1 GTR - 5/6 - 0.6 - Keep in my my p1 gtr has lost alot of hp down to 950 now.
Lap times around 1.40
Pagani Zonda 09 - 6/7 - 0.4 - What a fun car and the sound is.
Lap times around 1.41

Are you doing the FM1 run at the start and pitting lap 7? I might have to try that as im getting more traffic towards the end of the race
You may have to short shift ever so slightly in the FXX-k to make a 2-stop viable; I shift when the second blue light on the steering wheel lights up (I’m in VR) and I don’t run out of fuel for 5 laps on FM6. I have Praiano’s tune on my Zonda R that includes the high RPM turbo and I get 5 laps on FM6 and it’s the fastest of the three. The P1 GTR is the slowest of the three I have but I get 5 laps on FM6 without short shifting. The Zonda without the turbo is a bit more economical but still not good enough for a one-stop race. I don’t have the Vulcan.
Edit: I run those three regularly because they’re a joy to drive even if the race takes longer.

Yes, I use FM1 for the 1st stint till lap 7 and FM2 for the 2nd stint. As I mentioned in one of my previous posts, you should be able to get 2 clear laps (laps 3 & 4) without any traffic in the 1st stint (should be the case on Hard difficulty). That's when you can push a little. Once you start lapping the field, you will not get another clear lap, and with traffic, it's almost impossible to go quicker unless you get really lucky.

How do you manage to be so quick with the Nissan (i assume you used the nissan?)? Even with my lame ass wallriding i cant beat you times, would you like to record a video so I (and maybe others as well) can study your lines? I would like to improve my pace with this car

I've made progress and I'm very happy. I've completed both the 962c and r92cp races in 23:20. Next, I'll strive towards the goal of 22 minutes

Well guys here is a new strategy for you all to try, i have switched the the soft tyres its alot easier to be consistent with the braking zones and cornering but you loose a bit down the straight but i might be slightly faster overall

So back to back 22:44s but this time i did 7 laps then 8 laps so switched the fuel strategy around im not sure which way would be overall the fastest.
These laps a from a 22:44:5 using fm1 to lap 7 then fm2/3 for 8 laps

Had some fun today trying a few group 2 cars for this event. All FM1, 2 stop.
Nothing special or optimized times here, but a solid alternative to the usual suspects.
Definitely recommend giving CLK-LM a go, would be cool to see how much more time can be squeezed from it.
