I finally managed to complete a few laps and since I was aiming for a 2:30ish time I actually got it.

2:30.644
Stock setup PS4 t500

I'm gonna have a go with the setup that was suggested by @carracerptp and see if I can better my time.

I can make/post videos now so this is my best lap so far, sorry about the camera jumping around, I was looking at my ghost.

:bowdown: Very nice driving. One thing that scares me about that car is how I sometimes forget I'm on a right-wheel driving car. :lol: I'm watching your video on pins & needles like, "oooooh!! Don't hit....ooooh he's gonna clip the rail!!!" but you never did. You held that line very nicely.

Something I never thought of until just now. This circuit must be very boring for people with controllers. No ffb while ripping around Sopraelevata (North & South). I've taken some very forceful hits from hitting a couple of bumps at just the right (wrong?!) angle. Scares the crap out of you...
 
First attempt:

Plenty of time, I feel pretty bad out of second lesmos and not really consistent at braking for parabolica.

The banking is most fun!

Edit: I grabbed the tune so kindly posted by @carracerptp

The gearing feels better, also felt I got a better drive out of lesmos 2 and parabolica. Parabolica is "the" corner on this track, the bankings and run down to turn 1 is flat, you carry so much speed.

It's a pretty frustrating combo, as there's 3 braking zones in a 150 seconds of driving, if you mess one up...:D

I'll kick things off with my usual 10-lap try at it, from last night.

Video here.

As you can see, there's plenty of room for improvements - even for me - especially in the first half of the track.
 
Oh yeah, I forgot about tweaking the engine limiter. Turns out the tune I downloaded and used for my time set it to 101%. Now I'm tempted to see what can be done with it at max... though not sure if I need that much stress in my life right now :lol:
 
I had a bit of free time to give it a go.
Great little combo, the car is very rewarding to drive fast around Magione.

Too bad I had to stop on the fourth lap after a little accident, the poor thing couldn't handle my horrible driving :D :
