Need for Speed Shift - Time Trial Championship ** Season 3 ** (Multiplatform)

Hey guys. I'm trying to do this with the 360 pad, and I've just picked up the game, but after a few laps I'm still a good 5 sec off the pace. My car is drifting around every corner, it's near impossible to take a corner fast and cleanly. As soon as I steer the car seems to pivot on its centre and drift.
I'm using the settings posted above for the pad. I'm really fast in GRID, but this is totally different.

Hey alex, welcome. It sounds like you might need to increase the downforce on the car, by default it has 0 downforce front & back, have a look in the tuning settings. I had downforce on max to get in the low 1:45's, once you are used to the track & the car you might want to ease it off a little.
Welcome Alex.
If you're using the 'Normal' setting for 'Driving Model' then make sure you've 'Steering Assist' & 'Braking Assist' set to OFF. With these two settings ON the game steers & brakes for you, which is a no no.
What car view do you play with? I personally can't use the 'Behind Car' view which gives the impression of the car pivoting on it's centre as you describe. Bonnet or In-Car view are best with this game.

Excellent time Nick, backend of this car is very loose i am keep loosing the traction becuase of that.After some tuning, cos as most of you know I don't get on well with AWD.
I'll place my settings in a mo
Thanks Nick, much appreciated.
A very quick guide to this track with my settings.
T-1 - (This assumes your second lap) Drop from 6th to 2nd. The trick to this corner is turning in later than you think you should. Oh, remember to brake hard in a straight line & come off the brakes as you start your turn-in.
T-2 - If you have taken T-1 with good line & speed you should be snatching 5th just before the braking point. Drop to 3rd & hold a throttle position to stay on the racing line. Don't stray to wide otherwise you comprise the line for the double apex sweeping left taken in 3rd all the way round. Again try & hold a steady steering position.
T-3 - Bumpy hairpin. I drop to 1st for this corner but can be taken in 2nd. On exit try & use as much of the track as poss to straighten the curve.
T-4 - Long left hairpin. Taken in 3rd. You're looking for a constant 94-96 mph round this bend.
T-5 - Left turn at brow of hill. On approach I'm in 4th, braking just before red lining where the tarmac turns dark. Drop to 2nd & wait till you see the downhill section prior to maxing your revs.
T-6 - If you had good exit out of T-5 you'll be dropping to 3rd from 5th. The camber here is in your favour so make sure you hit the apex whilst flooring 3rd gear.
Stay in 3rd for the next right, left complex
T-7 - OFF camber right turn. I enter in 3rd dropping to 2nd as the line turns red, feathering the throttle to stay as wide as poss to straighten the next simple turn, the uphill right kink. I change upto 3rd as I ride the left curb.
T-8 - Stay in 3rd again try & stay on the line with a little throttle control.
T-9 - Uphill right, left leading to Start/ Finish. I stay in 3rd only changing up to 4th once I've cleared this section.
My settings do require you to straighten the car mid turn in some situations, sort of counter steering but not in an aggressive manner. You're just trying to keep the rear in check to maintain forward momentum. Just a little warning
