Struggling to meet gold on Mount Panorama. I know im losing way too much time on the downhill esses. The Porsche is great at handling l, just kind of slow on straights. The Hyundai has a weird gear distribution and extremely ass happy. The BRZ is amazing at handling but it struggles on straight line, too much downforce.

Heavy breathing intensifies.

The GT DD Extreme. For the low price of $1300.

Another set of fun races!

Note to self: Don't spin out at the start/finish without looking at the lap counter. LOL

Dragon Tail Reverse Time Trial, that Mercedes sure is ass-happy. Most of the time Im loosing is by the Michelin sign set of turns.

Is that the weird multiple apex corner one? If so, I found trail braking into the first apex and doing stabs of the gas and brake for the following apexes worked for me.

Try what I said, but also remember I think my driving style is unorthodox, so it might not work out for you. Haha
