Gold time has moved slightly - Its now 1:02:753
Had a chance to attempt this time trial this past weekend. At first i didn't enjoy it at all. Once I got to grips with the handling of the Escudo, I started having a blast!
My current time is 1:03:064 and I feel that the gold is possible, if it does not move too much!!

Thanks half_sourly, I've been away for couple of days and just saw your replay. 👍
I recovered my handwritten notes and searched for my time, which speed up a lot the search.
However ZZI is my nick

Indeed!, that makes a real difference, i was struggling to get under 1:03.3. this morning did a session with ASM on and went to 1:02.409.
Now i have a few days to perfect the lap, still can't get the 5th on the first corner to work i'm just to slow so the boost is gone and i'm quicker in 4th, so there is work to be done cause i don't if 1:02.4 is going to be enough

ASM prevents the wheels from skidding or spinning, usually people think that it's only helpful for oversteery cars, but actually it's more useful to limit understeer. Quite a bit actually.
Many of the licence tests for example need you to use ASM to challenge the top 10 times.

yes it is, thanks!
Out of curiosity, if you like to share your Harry Potter tricks, are you downloading all data and search off line, or did you identify a smart way to nail the specific data in the unpleasant PD pages?

If you ever find the time then I'd greatly appreciate if you could do your magic for my profile?
The nickname is Saul Goodman. I should be Top100 at the Suzuka TT with the MP4 just for reference.

Honestly I have no idea. I mean, I can read what the acronym stands for, but I feel no difference in driving whether it's on or off. Maybe it helps more depending on the car or something. I will turn it on when I use the MR cars, and I think it helps but I cannot actually tell so it may just be placebo.
Regardless, hard to argue with Metal's time so I will turn it on when attempting this TT for sure.

Other than ABS set to weak, I don't use aids. But I decided to take @Metalgear9493's advice and try ASM. I don't know if it the placebo effect, but the car did feel more stable. Dropped my time down to 1:02.468. I don't know if it will be enough to stay gold. Once the aliens from the GT World Series take some laps...
I rather enjoy reading this whole discussion of becoming faster. Alas, me, a beginner with a controller, does not succeed in getting under 1:10.00. Lol
