That also means it'll take you longer to hit the perpetual point and it'll be harder to keep going. The problem is you are full throttle when off track and that's going to make you lose more control. With tilt B you can lift the throttle and coast. This helps you regain control quickly.

The other problem with tilt A is that once you start skidding, you keep skidding. Brakes make you skid longer and gas will make you skid longer. With tilt B you just lift off the gas when you start skidding and then you can steer out of it. I feather the throttle a lot in that race.

I'm not saying you can't do it with tilt A, it's just harder. In that 600 lap race I recently did, I only used tilt A for about 40 laps. My timer would get low and then I got nervous so I switched back to tilt B. After having that happen twice I just stayed with tilt B. It certainly can be more draining though! Yeah I knew tilt A is dead here. Thats my big drawback. Learning tilt A is brand new to me. Watched your video two months back and you were adamant about tilt A just won't work so now I'm learning B. just for this race. No practise any where else. For me that means a lot of change. Brakes from low to off Steering from high to off and traction from high to off. Raced for first five monthes with breaks high. What gets me is in your video you hit the pertetual point at 12 Kilometers or lap 6 or 7. I,ve taken it to 14.4 kilometers or lap 9 or 10 and not hit that perpetual mark. But I was off track quiet a bit. I like what you said about loosing clock time when switching to A. Had wondered if I could switch after hitting P. point. Thank you ME7. When I first tried perpetual endurance races, I NEVER got to the perpetual point!! Didn't matter how many laps I ran. I believed it was impossible until others encouraged me. Now it's easy in most cars but back then I found it impossible in the Ferrari FXX K.

If I decide to use tilt A setting because I want a break, then I have to make sure I'm braking before the ideal spots. So even if it's clean I'm a bit slower. If I concentrate I can keep my timer full. You've got the risk of losing time off track in some parts and then the risk of smacking into walls at others!

With Tilt B, when you're taking those off-track cuts you want to be as straight as possible. So the second you start to skid you need to lift off the throttle and straighten it out before you get back on the gas. there's the odd occasion wear if you're horribly sideways you just drift away through it and lose speed.

Speed = Time.

That's probably the most important thing I could say. So when you lose a lot of speed off-track, you're run down the next straight is slower. Slower means longer.

Believe me, I feel your pain! My old setup was Tilt A, BA low, SA high, TC on. I got surprisingly far in the game with that setup. It was hard for me to make the switch to! But once I got used to it I wished I would have done it much sooner. The game became a lot more fun for me.

There's something many people don't know about with tilt B, and that's called pre-loading the brakes. It gives you some of the advantage of the instant breaking of Tilt A. I addressed this in one of my videos that does have CC. Some of the CC is off but I found it was still good. It's a video about a different endurance race that is no longer available. However it's a short video and I fully explain how to preload your brakes. It's below if you're interested.

At 1:26 of the video I get into pre-loading the brakes. That is also where an error appears in the CC. It shows "until peak"... SHOULD have said "Tilt B". LOL!! I just watched it again and that's actually the only error I saw. Other than it tells you there is applause at the end... There isn't, just music playing. 🎸🎸🎸
