The F14 is a hard car to master, especially if you do not drive it regularly. It is very unforgiving. Slide off track once and you can lose a good 3 seconds. I rarely drive it, so it's always an adjustment.

After seeing your post I starting trying that exact race without using any cuts or tricks, just honest racing. On my 3rd attempt at the race I got a lap time just under 1:13. However I was off-track on many other laps and my time was 5:15. 4th try I had 2 laps right around 1:13 but I was still flying off-track and came in at 5:09. I still haven't sorted out some of the best braking points, but getting under 5 minutes isn't far off.

The BIG disadvantage is that you start WAAAAAY back in a rolling start. However I can be in the lead by the 1st hairpin turn. I finished my last race over 2500m ahead of the 2nd place car. That included sliding off-track several times and crashing into a wall once. So a big lead isn't that hard. Do it again and show some SS's. Passing the entire field before the first turn, well, Id like to see that. Especially with a rolling start

Ive raced in the F14T numerous times and it's not a hard car to drive once you understand the machinations of breaking in a car with downforce. Its one thing to get "a lap" at 1.13, its entirely different to average under 1.13 for every lap of the 4 at Daytona in Exclusive.

Unfortunately, I am forbidden from posting video's with the overley of anything nefarious.

The shown result in my SS only ever occurs when my own F14T is "tweaked"
