I have a good setup for this track but I can't get braking down it seems. It's either too late or too sooner which make me spin/miss corner or slow through the corner.

I've practice probably 2 hrs off and on over last week but made 2 timed laps there. One being 2.00, another 1.48, and final is 1.46. The corners I have issues with are getting into 1, 4 entering the chicane, and 8 or 9 depending on if I get things going smooth. Mainly 1 and chicane are where I know I lose time, the other 2 aren't as bad.

Any help with this would be awesome!

I think you're mistaking the HPD for the DP... Those times are in the DP neighborhood more than the HPD.

Lol! I'll upload a replay tomorrow and give you a link. I'm not the fastest guy out there by any means but it may help you to find some reference points.

Thanks! I would rather be little slower over long race anyways, so reference points help alot.

Ive seen some guys have shallow entry into the chicane and some go wider.
 
You want to straighten out the bus stop as much as possible. How much you can clip the curbs will be dependant on your setup.

I am running whatever the setup that alot seem to run in season 1 this year. I can't remember who made the list off top of my head.

I've clipped corners without too much issue, so I will work on that. Somewhere I was watching that they said stay off the curbs after turn one and pits, but I have hit both and not spun at either.
 
Just a word of advice about the Riley DP.....

It's a much more fragile car than it appears to be. Even a light 0x tap into a barrier will normally get you a "meatball flag" with tweaked steering and a 2 minute required repair. So once it comes race time, be very careful with your lines and while passing the slower cars.

Would you share your setup please?

If your asking me, I got the setup from the forums. If I remember there was the setups in Riley forum under season 1 setups that was at top of the page.
