It'll do gold easy enough, once you remember to change the tyres, but I don't think it will go below 1:30.
Cue for steve to prove me wrong.

This Track here is very difficult its harder than Monte Carlo or Bathurst.The Setups from aughablo and perroloco works good.
I got last night in practice very close laps again like in Bathurst.

Awesome laps :bowdown::bowdown:. It is a wicked track, it was designed for bikes on grass, cambers and slopes into corners are challenging. Originally it ran anti-clockwise (it is completely different track to drive anti-clockwise) Being an Aussie (biased) I like Bathurst, and because it is an open road :cool:.
 
Out of boredom I did the drift trails, lol. I gave myself 15 minutes, when I stopped I only had silver. But I don't really care.

Now If that 15 minutes would get me .5 seconds in the McClaren...heh heh.

Managed to take off exactly 1/10th sec to give me 1:26.514. Next lap managed to take off exactly 1 thou/th sec to leave me at 1:24.513.

That's what I call some improvement...:bowdown:
In some kind of way I'm having a serious problem with the second half of this track.Car feels a bit weird whilst braking.Don't know if it's the air-brake which kicks in at some point.
Still stuck in the 26 :banghead:

Thanks to Your tune, after a few tries with the MP4, managed 1:29:530! Not bad for someone who didn't play any time trial for 4 months!
 
After some more tries today, improved to 1:28:797.

I just changed the overall transmission speed back to 240.

With so many undulations, I wonder if the car would be better suited to more camber or toe settings. Afterall, we need to throw the car in the corner in order to make the turn.:D
