Guess I'm terrible at 3 of the most important things for this kind of events:

1. driving with SA off - the hill after the start/finish line is still a mistery to me. I usually loose .5-.6 seconds in WTTT in this portion with SA low(I'm usually in group B, group A in that specific TT with the ford gt, of course with wall riding). You can imagine the damage it's doing to my times with SA off.

2. driving offtrack(corner cutting)

a. in a straight line

b. regaining control of the car once it starts sliding or heading for a wall

3. avoiding cars that are on my racing line. I usually need to brake a lot more than necessary in that corner, or, when reentering the track after the last cut, they slam into me from the side, causing me to spin - probably loosing 6 to 9 seconds here.

Having said that, today I finally managed to break those 15 laps. I did around 90 laps, for 86k fame with agent, in the FXX K, before I ran out of time, due to some mistakes and interruptions from external factors.

If you feel you have the same problems as me, here is how I've done it:

1. no big improvements. eventually practice will make perfect, but I don't feel much improvement here. probably some coasting on top of the hill and slightly lower speed during the last right hander coming downhill, leading to the first portion to be cut. I usually went off track at the end of the curve, giving me low speed through the small straigth and while cutting the next corner. Keeping the car on track and having good exit speed helped me.

2. less accelerating

a. lift off the gas when reaching offtrack, at the start of the corner cut.

accelerate when the car stabilises on a straigth line that gets you on track, to the desired position

b. lift off the gas, regain control and put the car on the desired direction.

accelerating before that will just make you slide more

3. just brake or coast, slightly adjusting your line. you won't push the bot out of the way, that's for sure. braking and loosing 1 or 2 seconds is usually better than bumping the ai car and going off track or getting spinned.

Take this advices with a grain of salt and enjoy the ride!
