Im actually having a hard time with this race. I added every non hp mod to the car but Im landing in 2nd each time. Rigidity gave me the biggest boost, and turning down traction control helped slightly.
Im running perfect lines, no collisions etc.
Any settings recommendations?
I too got 115kg after much fiddling trying to get less... And 122bhp on the nose. I also put a spoiler on the back (not that you need it, the back has more than enough grip - but its useful to reduce the downforce as this will help it turn in more after heavy braking).
Set-up was (roughly) as follows:
TCS:0
ABS:1
All other aids off (including the line).
Suspension: -10mm front and rear /
Spring rate: 5+ at the front about 5/4.8 on the rear (although soften the fronts if you're having diffculty turning in)
Dampers: 3 front / 2 rear
Camber: 1-1.5 front 0.5-0.7 rear
Aero: Reduce the rear to at least 10, even more if it doesn't turn in how you'd like.
LSD: Turn the braking sensitivity up a little (not sure this makes any difference but I had it on mine!).
Brake Balance: Standard, although I think this car would benefit from a 4/3 set-up... Trial & Error.
Basically I was in 2nd by the first corner of the 2nd lap. Late brake the first corner to get on the bumper of the 106, which should allow you to late brake him on the left (inside) to blast through that small chicane onto the Sirion. You should be able to pass this and the next Sirion before the end of the long swoopy right hander, then late brake as close (if not past) the CR-Z. From this point on, all the AI cars go
much slower, it is here you will make up
a lot of your time. The Yaris is much faster down the straight so basically if you're not in 1st by the last bend it probably won't happen.
I think I was about 3.5 seconds behind going into the fourth lap, by the end of the first corner, the Yaris had gained +1 second. I was past him just after the long swooping s-bend (on the red bit of road) on that lap. Had the last lap to just pootle about.
I hope this helps!
And back OT, I really don't understand why people are worrying (in any respect) about losing a few hp here and there. And if you are, you can rebuild the engine.
