I find steering assist set on high is a need for me in this race. My sensitivity is set on 4 or 5 here. Low is fine early on, but when you have to drive in a pack of 20 bots it's not! I generally run steering low on other races.

I pass both inside and outside, but outside much more often. Staying full throttle on an outside pass is easy, as long as you finish the pass before the exit of the corner! To stay full throttle on an inside pass you have to plan the pass before you even enter the corner. That requires knowing how the bot will behave. Bot behaviour changes throughout the race up to a point. Eventually you rarely catch them on the straights and packs are about your only hope! Inside passes are required more often with light side contact at times.

I get the statement about packs being stressful! I was driving through a wreck yesterday when I got nailed hard. I was 85% sure the high line would be safe. Then a car shot out from the pack and bounced off the wall right in front of me. It became airborne and flew into my windshield! I was angry and laughing, too bad I wasn't recording. I was just over 110 km at that point, got just over 125 that time.

I will do a short recording some time that shows my inside and outisde passes. Maybe it will help some people.
