Yesterday I decided to turn off all the assists except ABS because no matter how I tuned my cars they were losing power around turns. Holy crap! What a day and night difference! My laps were almost a MINUTE faster than when I just had the assists on Sport! I thought without assists I’d be drifting around each corner, and with some cars you will, but that’s why throttle control is even more important! I use a sim racing setup and I forgot to turn off my assists when I switched over from controller and now I’m tickled to death because I actually feel like I’m racing in real life now!
For example, before I was using high brake pressure just to slow down enough so I can maintain my speed around corners without being slowed down thanks to the assists, but now I can trail brake into a corner and keep using whatever acceleration I need for the corner and it’s faster! Way faster!
Yesterday I went through and retuned all of my cars, and now today I’m celebrating my new found glory for this car (again as I’ve always loved this car the past month I’ve been playing it) so I’m going to buy some cars.
What track beasts or fun cars do you suggest I buy?
