Honestly turning off ABS isn’t really realistic. Only time I turn off ABS is when I’m drifting. No ABS = more drifting lol

Yeah, it’s dumb. This thing is all midrange so revving it out doesn’t do much good. Short shift and in some instances where you are revving out on the exit of the corner, take two gears. You have to lift a bit to get it. It cost you a bit of accel out but you more then make up for it.

So Flugplatz is a lift and possible flat. I only did two laps but I think flat it’s fine. Bravery Corner is just a brush of the brake and flick it in, stay in 5th.

Yeah leave ABS on. Even GT3 cars have ABS and traction control and they use it.

Edit: First two laps I did where on sport soft, didn’t realize you where on the hard. This is my first on the hard, not very clean but give you an idea of some of the lines around this track. It’s very difficult to string together a good lap around here because it is so long. My best lap vs. optimal was almost two seconds difference. In the end I did a low 8:18, I could get into the 16’s if I could string it together. On some of the faster corners you lift or give a brush of the brake, just enough to get the nose in. In the end I couldn’t get Flubplatz flat, maybe with the softs or mediums. Same with Bravery Corner.

You can keep the racing line, unless you're pretty comfortable with the tracks now.

I'd keep ABS on. I tried turning it off, and it was all bad. LOL

That's just stupid, like you said. LOL. Looks like I'll avoid every race requiring that car now.

I mean it does help, I don't play as often as I would like to in order to remember all the tracks. The braking zone is helpful at times but I've been slowly ignoring it and paying attention to the signs on the track. If you can see on my Suzuka lap, I basically ignore most of the braking and shift suggested zones. Probably because it is my go-to track and Im more familiar to it.

I don't like driving that car anyway, it feels like a sloppy road car, just really imprecise for what I expected it to be.

Damnit @spcmafia you got my brain stuck on hot lapping Nords again now

Yeah, I watched that lap and saw you were ignoring a good amount of them. Haha.

Hey we can always bring back the league! Especially now with the new physics. @

I think many of us are still too busy (I'd be available depending on day and time it'll be held). Haven't used the stock twins since our last league. haha

Yeah, my schedule is F’d at all times. Playing GT7 is pretty sporadic for me.

That sucks. I have the time to play on at least one of my days off, but don't really since I'll only play if I like any of the daily races.

I think the most viable way would be set a certain amount of days to post the fastest lap of the chosen track for that stage. It seemed to be the best way to do it last time.
