I know, it's another thread, but I'm stuck on golding the X1 Challenge at Suzuka. I haven't even managed silver yet. So far my best time is just under 2 minutes 12 seconds. My regular times are about 12 and a half. I'll tell you my strategy.
Start: Accelerate through the first half of corner 1, brake into third gear+ exit.
for the next few corners I just use throttle control and light braking. Now onto a small straight. I'm in 6th gear, brake a little into the next corner and then 3rd/2nd gear for the following corner. When I reach 5th gear, I quickly brake into first and glide round the corner. Now through the bend. I brake into 4th gear, accelerate, and then go into 3rd/4th gear. Straight, small corner, then another straight. I brake to 1st a few seconds after the indicator tells me to, I glide through the corner, and accelerate out. The lap is about 2 minutes 5 seconds and 1/2. Not good enough. On the second lap I usually mess up on the first corner, or have to brake to second instead of third.
I used Manual Transmission, and Skid Recovery. I changed brake balance on the front and rear brakes to 10.
Please help, it's driving me extremely crazy, so much I'm scared I'll break my wheel
I probably need to improve the first sharp corner, the 1st corner on the 2nd lap, and the final corner.
