I guess there are lots of people in WTTT using heavily upgraded cars with traction control on and low braking assist. I think this is the main cause of seeing fully upgraded Lotuses (or above PR118) even in the upper region of C category. Perhaps Christmas sales also made their effect enticing people to upgrade their cars.

Unfortunately my Lotus is only at PR113.6, as I won it, missing the last upgrade in each section, and the car seemed very-very slow in my first runs with the usual setting of Tilt A, BA low, TC off. I could hardly get into group C this way.

Then I quickly decided that I don't want to upgrade this car currently, despite badly wanting the category B rewarrd. :)

So I made a few tries without braking assist.

With BA off I could get 0,7 sec advantage by the end of the first long straight compared to BA low. If I turned off the BA even for the second turn, I could get further 0,4 sec. And so on. Astonishing. Then I found my way through the whole track with BA off.

Of course, I threw the car frequently before optimizing the handling. Of course, good racing line and consistency are also important.

After a few hours I could make a time very close to 1:27 even though I didn't managed well the uphill section. Nevertheless, I am already sitting in the top 2%, but perhaps I will practice further for learning purposes. BA off can make the difference!
