Understeers you say? But they invented handbrakes for that :fencelook:.

Then the tyres go into a spinning frenzy when you try and do that :argh:

Good time! What worked for me is you need to use the throttle to shift weight around for traction, so on turn in you need to back off on the throttle until her nose has changed direction, then shoot the throttle to the next corner and repeat. Those two hairpins are very much a case of using the slow in fast out method, otherwise it just gets sloppy and you sit with a spinning understeering front end which is horrible!

Here's my time, 1:45.752. Bought it, upgraded it, painted it, and used it as is in Arcade Mode so that it wouldn't break in, so power stayed at 193BHP.

[Rayzor]

cool..

who else is in?

 

[Major]

Sure!

 

[Philip Foglar]

Okay, so what is the next challenge going to be?! As mentioned above, I think we really need some BMW RWD action! :thumbs:

 

[OppositeLockMT]

I vote M3 for deep forest raceway, and I think we should race in arcade mode so we don't have to deal with the whole "breaking in procedure".

+1! Definitely use Arcade mode this time! :thumbs:

 

[Major]

Sounds good, and no oil changes either.

 

[Philip Foglar]

So then stock standard with the normal tyres that it comes with when buying, no oil changes, and then in arcade mode. :thumbs:

 

[OppositeLockMT]

Isn't the M3 already available as a default option in arcade mode? :fencelook:

LOL, it is! Still thinking of it from the GT side and buying it... So yes, then just the one in Arcade mode.
