Gr. 3 are all RWD.
First of all, it looks like your throttle is sticking. It never looks like you zero throttle.
Turn1: You can be earlier on the throttle. As soon as you see the white curbing on the outside right, you can open up the steering (kinda aim at the outer kerb) and full throttle.
Turn 4 (1st hairpin): Be more patient before touching the throttle. Wait till you're half way round then start opening the steering and applying throttle. I use 1st gear briefly in the 911.
Turn 6/7/8: Be slower and more settled on entry to the right kink and try to coast the chicane and pick up the throttle early because you will carry the extra speed up the hill. Good exit is crucial out of that chicane. You're attacking it a bit to hard imo.
Last corner is eventually 3rd gear for me. Try to keep no more than at least a car width from the inner curb.
Disclaimer: This is advice to help @CurbHog. I am no alien but the above is what helped me to finally hit a sub 1.34.xxx lap time after 20 plus laps racing my own ghost.
Good luck
Heres my lap. 1.33.904. TC is set to 1. Far from perfect I know, but hopefully kinda shows what I was trying to explain.
There's time to be made and I don't normally use TC, but I was that inconsistent when I was pushing, I set it to 1 so I could do lap after lap and get a flow going.
Yeah, but track and car have way more feedback in pc2, you can feel when you're about to spin.

I think this was a 911 that he used.
Aight, imma try this when I get back home
I use km/h, so it'll be a bit hard to give specific advice. But I noticed that when you brake, you keep a bit of gas. While this could be helpful in balancing the car, especially if it's loose under braking, try to lift completely when you're still braking in a straight line. It would help shorten your braking distances a bit more, which as it stands is already pretty good. You've got an idea of where to brake already, you juet gotta shorten it a little bit more. You can still apply a bit of gas when braking, though you'll want to do it when you're already starting to turn
For turns 1-3, your exits were very conservative. You can definitely power out earlier than you currently are. In T4 (the hairpin) however, the opposite happens. You didn't overcook your braking point, but rather you lifted the brakes a little too early and powered down before the apex. That gave you a really wide exit and you weren't able to fully apply the throttle until well after the exit of the turn
For Turns 5-7, I honestly don't know how well you did there, since while it does look messy, you maintained a consistent speed and didn't seem to lose much time from the wiggles. In terms of km/h, I lift a bit just before Turn 5, hitting the apex at ~210 km/h, where I then brake and try to maintain a speed in between 140-145km/h through turns 6-7. If your mph speed matches that, then I think you've got it right
For Turn 8, the entry speed was too fast, compromising the exit. Rather than braking in the middle of the turn, brake ever so slightly on the part where you lift, and then gently drop your speed to what's the mph equivalent of 180 km/h. From there the corner will widen up, and you can power out while still being able to tighten your line and hit that late apex.
I can't give advice after that, sorryI'm struggling in that sector as well
I think a major contribution to this problem on RBR is the lack of track limits. There is no clearly defined method of taking turn one. The braking point for running way wide is totally different than if you mean to stay within the white lines. So counting the people who mean to go only slightly wide you have 20 cars barreling toward turn one with 3 different intentions.
Haha did exactly the same, went to play pc2 with myselfI turned the game on tonight, figured I might give the FIA races a try instead of the crappy weeklies. Saw N500 DT Garden reverse and GR.3 Bluemoon bay reverse. I turned the game off again.
