Do you use TC on or off, late brake, etc..... :-)

Thanks

You need to late brake and mash it down through the gears, if you're in lets say 5th gear and you know the corner is a 1st gear corner, drop it from 5th to 1st in one go.

Secondly, don't let the car run too wide exiting the corners, you still need to use as much of the track as possible in most corners (some turns require a slightly tighter line) but try not to use too much rumble strip.

Also, I'm not using TCS or anything like that, but just use what you like to use and what's best for you.

Hope this helps mate.

gonna add to that even though i'm not running in this. search for one of the quick TORA guy's GT on the leaderboards for the track, like D4N13L or any of the BG, F4H, TG guys etc and watch their ghost, watch their lines in and out of corners, their braking points, when they accelerate, etc, can help you improve a lot by watching how the fast guys do it, i've tried it and it works, gain 4-5 seconds round Le Mans from last year to this year doing it, it helps a lot, something i should really do more of haha
