It's at 95 now, but I'll have to spend another 400+ gold to get to 96. I'm not in a hurry as I have all 2014 LMP1 cars and can farm the 10 lap race in Endurance Kings now. I had done some gold upgrades on the 2015 Audi in a momoent of great frustation during "Pursuit of Victory". There was one race I just couldn't finish. The Audi was my 1st car. The other 2 were easier because I knew what I was doing, so no gold upgrades on the Porsche or Nissan. The Nissan's grip seems quite low compared to the rest... I am curious to see how the lap times fo teh Audi will be once I get the Pr to 96.

I can get 2:37-8 in my 2014 Porsche with the corner cutting your talking about. But I am only familiar with 2 chicane cuts, will look into the 3rd. That may be where my missing second is for the 2:36 time. Thanks for the info!! It's a funny thing, that Nissan, I think it handles a lot better than the other two, since it has the higher speed. True, the Nissan can get a bit out of control after  you begin to slide, but that extra downforce form the extra speed gives me the "illusion" that it handles a bit better. Or maybe the Porsche is just not upgraded enough...

To the point about the "third chicane", the Raccordement chicane is right after the Ford chicane. Take a look here

 * Ralentisseur is chicane, and Virage is curve

The Ford chicanes are the Ford curves in this map. Thanks for the map. I do find grip somewhat misleading in this game. The Nascars can handle 325 kph, 200 mph corners at Indy without slipping. Yet other cars with the same grip and slightly slower speeds can't handle the same corners. There is the down force issue, but I don't know why they don't just rate the grip higher then. I purposely didn't upgrade the Nissan as I thought the Audi would be better overall. It's obvious based on the time trials in "Endurance Champions" that the Nissan is the best car. Oh well whatcha gonna do.
