), managed to put in a 1:15.642 after many invalidated laps and trying to keep the battery charged. Once again, sector 1 at Road Atlanta was the cause of my ruination, I just cannot figure out how to consistently take that sector quickly. There is another 2 tenths in my time just in sector 1 but I'm not sure I will ever be able to find that time. Currently sitting at 459th but expecting to drop.
which places me 456th, one position behind @Mistah_MCA (with the exact same time) and 4 positions ahead of @Tidgney. I'm sure both of these guys can go considerably faster if they put some more laps in, but it is nice to be surrounded by such a high calibre of drivers. Don't think I will put much more effort into this one, I'm already satisfied with the time and would prefer to focus on the other combinations.
No problem mate, actually looking at the times I think Gold is tough here given how quick the top guys are but @half_sourly and his magical statistics might just give us more insight on that; I've uploaded a youtube lap that may or may not help, what view do you use and do you use MT or AT? I feel like this one is a great one to do without assists so if you have Traction Control/other assists on it might be worth turning them off.
In the second sector the main difference here to my record fast laps is taking it easy into the downhill right hander; the fastest laps are all set with minimal breaking and crazy commitment into the apex and it makes the car very difficult to control to slow it down on the uphill and keep it tight round the sharp left hander. With a more gentle entrance there and not cutting it so much; get the car straight and pointing roughly towards the entry to the left turn as you go up the hill, break in a straight line as you get to the upslope and get down into 3rd or even 2nd gear, it's crucial to get the car slower than you think and that's ok because if you keep it tight you can get on the power really early in 3rd gear and the differential will drag the car round. Final left corner brake hard before the kerb starts on the right and then get it turned in hard right into the apex and then early on the power right on the apex in 3rd, cut the kerb on the right.
Again my waffle is probably less useful than the video so if in doubt, watch the video! It's always easier said than done but I think the key to this whole trial is that uphill slope braking zone and getting the car turned in to the sharp left hander after it.
@Barareklam I didn't quite waste my entire day trying to beat your time but I did do 100 miles in the Lambo.. aaaaand did not succeed! I did get within a tenth of a second but man that was a fast time, kudos to you my friend I genuinely don't think I can beat it. But of course I'm going to tryThat trial gets more fun after about 20 minutes IMO, once you get used to the weirdness of the handling it's strangely fun.
but next lap was a .578, so we back in the top 500 
Appx 50% of my laps are invalidated before I even get to the start line. So - no tips from me, other than: don't do what I do. It's an evil handing car!Any hints/tips for knocking some time off with the Lamborghini? I've tried a new livery and that hasn't helped much for a change.
Lambo... really slow in and fast out, brake on time (early) and trail braking...Looks like I've got some pretty busy TT action ahead of me. I've only set a few very poor lap times on the St Croix event, and not even tried the Honda Civic ones or the new 918 one...

I've definitely made note of the early braking. Noticed that on the first corner on the first lap when I smacked into the outside wall straight away.
Indeed 6 and 7 are the worst, so much trouble finding apex on 6 and when you do get it right, it still feels crappy
You probably are the fastest motionsteering man in the world 😁🙏, epic mate.... just epic
Apologies if already discussed, the Michelin TT, says in game it ends on 30th Oct I think it is, but online leaderboards say ends on 5th November anyone know which is correct.
