I may have ended up doing the last shift down with the braking fest of Suzuka turn one late, just a little before going back on throttle. I did that with the M3, at least. I'm already asking more of the tyres that they can deliver, as I showed here. Which happens because I'm not very accurate. I have an urge to load the game and replay to see the four indicators and how they light up, but that makes more sense in the morning.Of course didn't take too much changes on gears this one , so i might try it since braking is important only at first turn
With the BLOODY KIDS FORGET SOMETHING event I forgot the say 2 laps. Sorry mate.View attachment 887586

I noticed that I "lost" a sixth of a second in the first sector and a tenth still in 3rd. I only remember the odometer was 160 and change before I began, but I kept hitting restart because of crashes.

Madrid Mini is a fairly straightforward track. Only five corners, and being basically a triangle with mostly short to medium straights and a hairpin on each end, it's definitely that 'easy to learn, hard to master' kind of track.
Being the reverse version which I have never driven on this game, I needed some practice laps to get a good feel for the track. About 20 laps later, I could actually start my real, all-out run.
Turn 1: One of the two most important corners of the lap is the very first. You want to brake just before the 50 meter board, then get as smooth of a line as possible in second gear. Getting a good exit out of turn 1 can sometimes make or break your lap.
Turns 2 and 3: This is where most people are going to crash a lot. You want to get through this section in third gear while scrubbing off the least amount of speed possible that doesn't make you smash into the outside wall. Being a blind corner, it's hard to judge your braking point here. I lost count of how many times I crashed here.
Turn 5: After the easy flat-out left kink of turn 4, turn 5 is a tough, blind, 180-degree hairpin. You want to get through this on low second gear, but if you brake too late you might need first gear to get the nose in. A bad exit here will not only ruin your lap, but compromise the next one too, so this is arguably the most important part of the run.
After another 8 laps or so, I managed to get a time of 1:00.381. I feel like sub-1 minute is definitely possible, but I'm not sure if I can get there.

(Yes, I know there are two times in the image. The 1:01.9 was during the practice run I did)
I might do the GT3 Cup as well, but I haven't decided yet.
I imagine you are doing sub 15 s T1s all day, braking that late (and finding it working). I had 15.15 and up, though with ABS 0.Turn 1: One of the two most important corners of the lap is the very first.

@Thematic ,what tyres did you use on the Audi at GT3 race ?
I think you wasn't on RH as supposed to be .
Quite strange behaviour that Audi plus enough twitcy for an 4wheel drive car.
Even TC at one can't " save " the situation and understeer follows .
he was on SS..you can see in his pics.. I know Bryce told him to be div1 but am not sure if he thought about missions only or overall..
btw I saw SL65 AMG Black Series in Zagreb, I don't like Mercedes cars very much but this one is proper monster. @skeagracing Have you ever got to drive that one?
edit.. do we all do no tune srflesly? i couldn't spell it?
edit2.. Bryce mate not that its very important but I was at LiGHTS CAMERA ACTION 8/10 before last 2 vids
And I have 6 No tune wins
edit3.. @smoothbore12 Audi is by far worst car from 4 in the pool at least IMO.. Thanks for however else voted for BmW but we ended up 1 vote down![]()
