The only reason I'm using it is because its the seasonal races, It doesn't go towards your game completion percentage or anything.
Just to show off, I got gold in them all now

Anything to get a win
I just switched traction and skid recovery on for the rx7 one... Instantly banging in 58's and 59's laps where previously couldn't get under 1 min... Woah. It was like driving an arcade game with the car stuck to the road like glue! No wonder that made the NASCAR thing easy.
I ended up winning the rx7 race 9 secs ahead. Previously I couldnt get closer than 3 seconds behind in 2nd
Should be taken out of the game as it feels like cheating and now I know about it, I'll probably find myself using it to win harder races

I just did the gtr one with ease with skid recovery on... It basically completely removes understeer / too much oversteer. Nearly 3 or 4 secs a lap faster...
They shouldve banned this aid on these challenges

I'm using the Spirit one from the dealership, just tried it with your settings and thought it felt like it didn't want to turn in and the brakes weren't strong enough so have tweaked it a bit  Dinner time now though so will have to try it out after

Forgot to mention, I did get a 1.01.8 which is my fastest time yet Hopefully after the changes I've just made I'll get it even faster
Btw, this is with ABS on 1 and everything else off.

Yea it was quite understeery, I was able to do laps of 1 minute which was enough so just put up with it, you could probably knock another second of it with a bit of tweeking but I'm still learning how to set them up
I think I'm getting to grips with it though

Good racing tonight...
I'll get my headset working again! I think it's just because I took my ps3 apart the other day to get the laser working, I probably need to reset something.
