This keeps getting ridiculous.
They haven´t disclosed what the time to beat in any of these challenges, so it would be better put if they just said, "race the F3.5 at Oulton", or something like that.
You don´t know the time, you can´t see the ghost, the personalities are never commenting or doing a follow up in thse challenges, so it´s kind of a moot point.
It´s always a regular time trial with a title that makes no sense.

Absolutely agree!
Most of the time spent in game was searching for at least drivable settings on forums, YouTube, asking friends and trying by myself - but I still have only undrivable game that drives me crazy!
Couldn't stay on track with CR.7 at very low speeds, what would be with monster open wheel...

Will be interesting to see Ben's time. In the meantime, there's an absolutely blistering #1 time on PC at the moment - somebody (not me) has set a 1m17.1s lap. I have no doubt at all (given that person's 1st sector time) that we're going to see a mid-high 1m16s lap before this round is over. I don't have the skill to nail the middle sector quickly enough but I'm sure I can put in a low 1m17 myself.

I spoke too soon. Just posted a 1m16.908 lap. Messed up the final sector a fraction but maybe only cost a hundredth or two. I'm just about at my limit, I don't know enough about car setups to extract any more out of this
S1: 26.460s
S2: 28.788s
S3: 21.660s
Total: 1m16.908s
As per usual, the setup is just a case of trial and error. I started by reducing wing and found that although I could cream the first sector, the other two sectors were down by more than the gain in sector 1. So I started pushing the wings higher to see the effect and that's where the times started dropping further. When I saw the sector 1 and sector 2 times come up on the wheel's display, my heart started pounding as I knew I was on for a sub.1m17 lap.
Got to say, just as with the Daytona event, this combo is a huge amount of fun
Also, I wonder if people are forgetting that the car has a form of DRS? If you look back, in cockpit view, you'll notice the slight gap in the wing closing when DRS is activated.
In short, you minimise the effect of all that rear wing on the straights, giving you a win-win of massive cornering grip and good straight-line speed
In short, whack up the wing, turn in hard for each corner, get on the power early and activate the DRS as early as you dare, coming out of each corner.

As mentioned above, increase the wings and you'll get masses of grip.

Yep, DRS is manually enabled / disabled in all of the cars in pCARS1 and 2. KERS is automatic in some cars, but not all.
1m17.5 without using DRS is a mighty fine time
I didn't do any more laps, I had league stuff to do which was far more important. Besides, I've never been much of a fan of the open wheelers above the Formula Rookie. Too much happens too fast, there's no time to enjoy the moment. It's why I've also barely touched the LMP1 cars.
