I love my racing games but playing this with a pad is rather infuriating, my wheel broke and trying to break with a pad is pants, and auto break is killing my turn approach speed and racing line. Any tips? Hours of mastering breaking with a pad?

never used a wheel/pedals, but dont think braking with a 360 pad is that bad. miles better than auto brake anyway.

The handling, me, mike and HBK did some racing last night with a full grid of AI, The racing was the closest its probably ever been and the AI were not so easy to pass as well which made it more fun. The tyre wear is so much better now as well, I was running higher springs and going faster than Mike while he was using lower springs and getting much less tyre wear than me. It works so much better.

The biggest tip I can give you is turn auto breaking off.

Yeah the handling is amazing, you can really feel the grip the car has now.

The set-ups seems to work much better and most likely as it should have from the beginning. I think going higher suspension gives you about 0.5 secs at most now (from 1 quick test). Still need to test the tyre wear, but from what we were experiencing I bet over a longer race you would have had to make 1 more pit stop. (I think I was running 5/5 and Murray 9/9)

Also Turkey AI, wow they really keep up with and pass you. Webber actually won the race we had (All 3 of us started at the back). The AI are faster at the start of a race but could be better. Or we need to be more patient. Its a lot more intense that's for sure.

Would like to try a 40% race out tonight also. Will race with AI online again tonight to fill out the grid. Seems to work nicely yesterday.

Others are very welcome to come join. However we do ban assists so if you require certain ones like gears or traction just say before so we can put them on.

So did some test at Brazil with aero. Kept everything on default and didn't use drs. 2 runs each of 3/4 laps of 1/1, 6/6 and 11/11. These are my results.

1/1 1.08.668
6/6 1.08.612
11/11 1.08.388

11/11 was half a second faster in the middle sector and 3 tenths slower in the 3rd sector. At least for Brazil 11/11 is most likely still the faster aero set up.

In another test I ran 3/3 suspension stiffness and Murray 9/9. I made 1 pit stop and he made 2. We were split by 0.049 over the finish line on a 40% race. His tyres I believe wore slightly faster but cant tell for sure without screenshots or video throughout the race.
