Gold 8-5 yesterday    using DS3 Finally 40-golds.

This time I leave everything default. TC=7
ABS=1
DS3 Steering=7
I'm the old-school kind, using X and square. Not L2/R2.

My non-alien tips, just sharing:
- Use driving aid : driving line = on
- Power down the straight. Brake accordingly in straight line only and once release, turn right sharply. Release turning. Throttle control (tap and release, then tap longer and release, then press and hold). You need to practise on different corners whether to do 1-3x tap-and-release). Remember, no skid/drift with red-tyres.
- 2nd corner, turn right, I brake slightly earlier, then turn and the car will slide (without red-tyres) and you can throttle.
- On that S-corner. Release throttle/tap brake then power again.
- Last 2-corner on S, I brake early, again turn right and full throttle control and turn left back to the straight.
- Follow braking line again for the sharp ^ turn. Throttle control again to get out from corner apex. Find your own apex, I didn't really use the driving line apex.
- Accelerate full on the right turn, until the short-straight.
- This one I do late brake. Then release brake, sharp turn left. Tyre skid (no red), Throttle control left and I'm on left side. Just nice...
- For the next right-corner, tap brake. Again, throttle full out from apex, towards the left side, use kerb slightly, don't hit cone.
- Power down the short straight, keep right. This time also late brake, but slightly only. Brake in straight line, it stop faster.
- Release brake, sharp turn left, no throttle.
- Once line in sight, full throttle control again to get out from corner. I did not use the inner kerb / apex.
- 2nd last straight, I also late brake very slightly into the corner. Skid a bit (no red).
- Power out from last corner, again, throttle control. No red. This is important, as I manage to cut 0.5 seconds if power out correctly without the car swing left/right.

If throttle control done well, every corner can cut 0.1-0.3 seconds. I manage to do it in 1:35.3x in my other account. This account is 1:35.9x
Gold need 1:36.000
JYLee really alien    Last night his record improved to 1:32.x 
2nd is 1.34.x
I'm 1.35.9
Yeah. Saw your name in SG PSN 1.35.x 
Agree, throttle control without skid/drift or red-tyres is very important.

Non-alien tips for latest TT
- Sarthe 700pp
- Grand Valley 600pp

For n00b, use Chaparral 2J, tune down to 600pp (trans at 300km/h) and my max at 684pp (trans at 380km/h)
TC=1 (put higher if can't control car slide)

Can win by 20-30 seconds.

Almost forgot about posting pictures. Anyway, my small contribution to Malaysia in ranking. Hahaha! Sorry about the lousy pictures.

Personally i think round 8-5 is easy to get gold but very hard to get faster time than 1:34 and by using DS3 couldn't really help either. Steering wheel should able to shed another 1-2 sec. Finding the best braking point and by preventing wheel spin when exiting corner is the key to this round. The happy tail of the fairlady really need more concentration to handle.

Round 8-4 is very hard in my opinion; really cant pass the most front car.    Tried many many times still cant. 

for round 8-4, hmm the main point is the 1st S corner.. instead of braking hard.. just let go acceleration...
Hmmm slipstream works too

So long didn't visit this topic & GT5..kinda lost here.. GT Academy? New online series right?
