I'm struggling with manual box cos I don't have enough time to practice and remember the track So frustrating as I can see the speed gained

Aye it does take hours to get used to it. Now that I only use manual going back to automatic is painful, it makes me feel like I'm not driving the car any more so I need to use manual and of course the speed boost you get from being able to brake later/red line.

Gone to using auto so I can at least take part

1.54.687 - T-cam - Xbox - Med Tc, Corner line, Auto Box

I figured I'd give this another shot considering mercy managed to knock near half a second off my time. I'd toiled for around half an hour and figured I wasn't going to improve and then this happened!

Nice one aeT. I need to improve turn 18/19, that horrible tight left turning is where I can make up more time if I can get it more precise and quicker.

I'm really struggling to better my original post on this one. I'm finding I can't get even within 0.5 seconds off my best, nevermind improve it! Something must have clicked for that one lap I guess...

You probably won't improve by much with auto gears, go to manual if you can find the time to practise it. Make sure ABS is off, and use medium traction, as I imagine full traction might slow you down (if you happen to use full traction). Having said all that, your laptime with auto gears is still good

Just out of curiosity, how come you all seem to use medium TC rather than turning it off? I always felt it hampered my times rather than improving them.

I can't go faster than this at all. Goodness knows how you get into the 1:49's.

We use a special rocket fuel sparc

aeT, medium TC does reduce car spin, but some think no traction control makes the car faster and others think it makes no difference. I'm used to doing laps without any assists, so decided to try it for this lap. I think you're probably right though that it is quicker, or else I just got lucky. Btw, you must have done your last lap without being signed into GFWL perhaps? Shame, because your old time of 1:49.771 is still on the leaderboard.


Anyway,

"Harry put on special tyres."

 

[Merlin5]

Wow, don't know how I did that. And I know I made mistakes, so 1:48's are definitely possible, although I'm struggling like hell now to keep ahead of my ghost.

Damn you aeT

Damn you aeT

Was trying to beat my old time which I managed to somehow, checked the leaderboard and saw you were a hundredth behind me. Astonishingly close times.
