Power is one notch below N400 (maxed N300) weight minimum. TC is on yet that doesn't do anything unless you stop first (spin out) I have the counter steering assist on weak and use super soft race tires. Brake hard for turn 1 at the 100 sign. Brake a little bit for turn 3 just before turning. You have to brake a bit for turn 3 or you will spin out. I use the DS4 and the rumble is a good tell how far you can push it. And smooth input for steering of course.
You need to plan ahead based on where he AI is, any late corrections can be fatal. It gets easier over time. I managed to make it in 12:10 today in a clean race. Was 12:30 when I first made it without spinning out.
