...I started turning off assists and learning how to race for real.

WHAT A BEAST!!

A while back I was in a thread talking about gold spending. I said I had 6000+ just waiting for upgrade sales. A wise man said to me that I am missing out on some of what this game is about; fully upgrading the best cars and having fun. I took his advice and targeted the Nissan GT-R LM Nismo.

So why was I disapointed? My 2015 Audi is at 23/24 upgrades. I spent a lot of gold to get the Nissan to 23/24 (the last upgrade is 440 gold and does VERY little, so I will wait for a sale). At first there was almost no difference between the 2 cars. The Nissan's brakes and grip are bad compared to the Audi. So I felt like I wasted a whole bunch of gold.

I usually race with Steering high, Brakes low, TC on with Tilt A at Steering sensitivity 5. I watched where the game started braking and made the switch. I started running Steering low, Brakes off, TC off with Tilt B at Steering sensitivity 5. It seems that the real advantage with this car is when you are doing corner cutting. For 1, it doesn't go as sideways as the Audi does when cutting. For 2, It's just so dang fast!!

I'm still figuring out the optimal braking points, but I can shave 5 seconds off my average lap when I get a decent run. As Mario Andretti says "If everything seems under control, you're just not going fast enough." This beast needs to be run on the edge!!
