Very good and thorough guide @Mistah_MCA. This will help a lot of folks struggling at this track. And lowering traction control is very important for better exits and faster speed. Good luck this weekend folks. DT Gardens requires a lot of attention and focus otherwise you'll be up a creek without a paddle. Serious trouble and not so good lap times.
 
I did see a few onboard laps of the top ranked players. One thing that struck me with surprise was their cars weren't sliding much when making turns or during turns when braking.

I've kept no assists on but SH tyres is my Achilles Heel when it comes to TT. I love this Tt & it's a great challenge altogether but don't know how to get the best out of the Audi without making the car slide when negotiating turns.

Steering straight and smoother on the brakes and accelerator, remember the replays are a little brute force when it comes to being input accurate.

Edit: for example ABS isn’t shown as an independent part of the braking sequence.

Especially coming from the RE Amemiya, I felt like the Audi was understeering quite a bit. The Audi likes to gently trail brake in and then you sorta have to force it to rotate by “steering w/brakes” as they say. Some sliding won’t hurt; sector 1 I’m sliding that thing into the first turn and it’ll feel floaty with just enough grip to make it around. Hairpin starting sector 2, however is where you can get a feel for how to brake with this car as its free of sausage kerb distractions 😆

And that's me done for this TT. Really really good opening 2 sectors but a bit of time loss at the final corner as I was making sure of the setup before I powered out, so there was a slight mid apex hesitation as a result.

Since I use DS4 & left analog stick for acceleration & braking, trail braking is something that I've not had the pleasure to incorporate in my driving style. Seems I need to shift to L2/R2 buttons for braking & accleration. Using them can surely help with trail braking.

Also thinking of using motion sensor for turning instead of right analog stick but TT is not the place for me to adopt this. Have to spend many hours to change my adaptability around these.
