Yeah, I don't like the St Croix one either, there are a lot of complex corners and turns you have to memorize and be good at in order to score a gold lap. A good first step would be to note what sector times the demo ghost clocks that way you'll know if you're on the right path. The part before the bridge is a trickster and needs caution while driving through it. Any wall hit leads to being disqualified from the race. I absolutely hate Sector 4 and 5. I failed many times in those sections, that's why I totally hate them with a passion.

You gotta have extreme patience and wills of steel in order to survive and gold the lap attack at St. Croix-C. That's all I can say about it folks. I don't know if I'll ever be able to do it, and my skills have gotten better and it's still a challenge in itself. That's so weird, the sectors were easy to earn a gold time on.

Huge effort here on this thread. I wanted to ask some general questions. I am now focusing on getting gold on circuit experiences. I managed to get Gold in Monza and was super happy;-)
Next on the list are:
1. Red Bull Ring
2. Barcelona
3. Spa
4. Interlagos
5. Possibly Le Mans
First of, I al using a controller, so I struggle to accelerate smoothly or apply a certain % of breaks. Any advice on how you do it?
Also, I want to learn breaking points on these tracks. How to see where exactly a ghost starts breaking?
Also, for those on a controller…which assists do you keep and which disable to be faster?

I'm on a Dualsense on PS5. For me the triggers work quite well in modulating break and throttle. But it is still a bit of guess work for me. I am not able to consistently apply the amount of break or throttle that I want. But at least roughly. I guess it comes down to practice. Try and hit 50 or 80% trigger and then just keep doing it until it becomes muscle memory.
For breaking points you can watch the replay and then repeatedly stop and start it by pressing the smallish menu button next to the touch pad. Then when you found the moment where they start breaking you need to find something at the track that you can remember. Also try and find your breaking / turn in / acceleration marks when watching the replay in real time to make sure that you can do it in game.
Personally I try to avoid assists even on the controller. But e.g. in Gr. 3 cars or others with tons of power I personally use TC 2 because I am not good enough at modulating throttle on corner exit and have too high a risk of power oversteer and spinning.

I would definatly turn off TCS and ASM with cars, which are not TOO powerful and/or AWD. RWD powerful cars it makes sense to activate TCS. Breaking points are a thing of trial and error my friend, just gradually test what is possible.

I have finally cracked Spa on a controller, albeit it is dual sense edge moonlight black. I was able to adjust things better for how I wanted it to feel.

I gave up on trying to get gold at Spa three months ago, around the last week in October. I just didn't have it in me. Gave up.

Why? Did you get GOLD on other tracks? Spa is so unique, so important! I love everything about it: the track itself, the light when you go through S4, the car (911 RSR). It took me 2 weeks probably and I did learn a lot! Do not give up. Analyze where you struggle and find ways to improve. Not giving up is a very important character trait.

I managed to gold all the Sectors, but not the lap attack. Well maybe I shouldn't just throw in the towel. Hope and faith is all I can depend on for this challenge. I guess I'll have to rely on the demo replay and it's ghost. And write down all the sector times that it clocks. That will let me know if I'm on the right track or not.

Check this and see how I got help from people. It was hard, but I did learn a lot!
