These Vittel challenge 3 events are a total b*tch even to get bronze. Any tips anyone?

Wheel. I've tried turning off all stabilty aids and I am still about 3 or 4 secs off of bronze in each event.

I think I slow down too much for chicanes and corners...

Traction control off
ASM on
skid recovery On
ABS 1

Left foot braking for sure.

And muscle memory!

It's not an easy challenge.

Anyone else feel like their cars are grass-seeking missiles?? I swear... I was leading a Nurburgring race until my car just kept getting "pulled" to the grass. SO annoying.

When tires wear out, all the car does is understeer.

I think it's because it never looks like you're actually going fast, visually at least. So you end up coming into a corner at 280 thinking "this will just hug the apex".

Far worse with a wheel, I find. You're driving "yeah this is great ... whoa ... what?"

Youtube people who have golded the events. Copy their exact brake/gas points. There were some corners I didn't know I could go full throttle on. I got it within a few tries after seeing it.
