I know......, and you are maby right, i did try it a couple of times but i'm having the most difficulty keeping it straighttime to switch to motion sensor
But it would def. be better for the controller lifetime.
maby......maby.... i'll give it another go then

Please give it another shot, it may give me a chance to get higher up our leader board then 🤣I know......, and you are maby right, i did try it a couple of times but i'm having the most difficulty keeping it straight

Between you and @Metalgear9493 I always have a ghost I can use. Appreciate the both of you for that. You guys really drag us slow guys up the board! ❤️It's 100% not me. I absolutely hate this car and this track

I didn't time trial anything for 2 days, but I did order the new Fanatec Podium GT3 Endurance wheel today and I'm more happy than the recent P12 at RBR

Ooh, that looks nice. I would love to have that over my 2.5X which hurts my wrists (the 270mm is just too small). At 318mm width that would be perfect. Though the display would be pretty useless in VR

After getting silver in the S2000 without ABS, I was surprised to find I was slower with ABS on. It might just be my driving style, but what I was losing by braking earlier I more than regained at the apex, since the car turned in better on the brakes - the ABS seems to cause understeer. Sadly I couldnt improve my time enough.
The Maggiore TT is interesting because of the BOP and large roster of vehicles (and the track limits...)
I set a silver in the Mustang without ABS early on, and decided to try the Huracan, since it's apparently the weapon of choice.
Welp, the brake bias on the Huracan is so rearward it's almost impossible to trail brake smoothly in the high speed corners. It is exceptionally manouvrable in the first few corners, however. I wonder if this rearward brake bias and resulting turn-in ability is contributing to its pace in this event, even with ABS.
In the end, the Supra was kind to me and rewarded me with a gold time, without ABS. The brake bias is a smidge rearward and the brakes overall a bit too strong for the tyres, but in terms of consistency and laptime, it was the best of all the cars I tried.
The Megane at Goodwood is not too bad without ABS, but it takes a lot of finesse! I might try out that counter steer assist, otherwise I'm using no aids and a dual shock, and gold feels out of reach (unless I get a miracle at the chicane maybe...)

The Mustang was a little too understeery and although the brakes weren't too strong, they were too forward.
The 86 was nicely balanced on the brakes, but lacked overall grip and speed.
The C7 was stable but not agile enough, brakes again too forward.
The Viper was similar to the Vette, but the brakes too strong.
The 458 lacked aero and speed it seemed, brakes otherwise only slightly forward.
The Vantage just wasn't quick enough
The Cayman had nice balance, marginally forward brakes, just lacking in aero.
The SLS was similar, overly neutered by the BOP and brakes too forward.
The Megane Trophy didnt have enough straight line speed, otherwise it was very nice here without ABS.
