While I did hop on GT7 the past few days, I stayed away from Willow for sanity reasons.D.D., Maybe taking a day off from it would help. Just a thought.
I realized I haven't posted either of my replays. I have been using 3rd accelerating out of the left hander. It's just so difficult to get the car turned in there, even when dipping my right side tires into the dirt to widen the entry.For the downhill left hander in sector 2 , I found it easier to use 3rd gear to power out of corner instead of 4th. I know 4th gear is faster, but I don't seem to have high enough of an apex speed to make it work.
As the last corner, start the turn in about 1/2 way between the 200 and 150 board, drag the brakes slightly at 150, then downshift to 5th...then either coast a bit or drag the brakes a bit more depending on you speed. Then use partial throttle to keep the speed up until you know for sure you will hit the apex at the right angle then floor it. I was able to do .4s or low .5s in the last sector this way (I was doing high .5s to mid .6s before).
Is there an advantage to shifting to 6th before the final corner? I've been sticking with 5th. I tried a couple times going to 6th, but I didn't really notice a difference. It felt like an extra distraction if anything. Sometimes I do get a decent run through the turn, but it's hit or miss. On my fast lap I did a mid .5 on the nose. .550 to be exact.
