I found more toe out on the rear not only makes the car turn in better but makes oversteer more manageable and ultimately more fun. Need to perfect it though.

I've just discovered the hardest thing in this game!
The S.Vettell X1 challenge, it is way out of my reach  , I'm 2.4 seconds off every time 
By far the hardest thing!, I'll be suprised if many/any on here can do it going from what I've seen online

Anyone want to loan me a DTM car?
Just done my a class licence, all gold apart from that bloody mini slalom one 
Also, seb loeb rally, hard! Every time i slow down its like the engine stops, so unresponsive.
Had a go on seca, got a 1:26 but not in mx5 & not getting corkscrew right. I remember that course in reverse on ps2, was tricky then too.

apparently they are upgrading the standard cars to premium quality but there are rumours going round that we might need to pay for new cars.

nope, not 1. but you have todo every corner perfect.
first split should be low 25's
second ive no idea
third should be low 1'09's
that will easily get you a 1'38

the corner just before the first split i take at no less than about 65ish then the next corner i just lift off, but you need to be clipping the rumble strip with your right wheels and then let it run wide. on the left there are some rumble strips and as i drive past the end of them im doing 93mph.
the next corner is abit tricky, i brake at the 2nd to last marker and turn in just before the last, i dont drop below 70 mph here. this gives you a good run up the hill as your in the power. dont change up from 4th.
this tight left hander is always guesswork for me ive not actually sussed how to do it propperly, you have to get your left wheels off the track through the corner to enable you to carry a high speed, majority of the time i do about 85+ but i did it once at 89. again dont change uup.
corkscrew speed never drops below 45 for a safe run through, ive had it stay as high as 51 on a very dodgy line but i span off.
corner just on the 3rd split i couldnt tell you speed but i do it almost flat out with a tiny lift if i need to pull it back inline
next corner, the sweeping right, 4th gear 79mph.
tight left hander onto start finish line 2nd gear braking just after the 3rd marker. 43mph

My gears are ratio'd a bit shorter so im in 5th up the hill. Max speed is something silly like 114 but I never hit it, I need to amend this and change the downforce.
