Mmm, Magione is good too.
Make it on eco tyres and you have a deal 
GT86 on Magione sounds good to me… and eco tyres and no TC seems like a good and sober way to do it 
With Eco tires and no TC I have been able to clock a 1:36.495 on my first few runs. But those Eco tires are a pain sometimes. I’ll wait until an official set of rules has been posted.
ok fuck it, 2:00.363 or whatever it was it is. Zero driving aids. Just a lot of toe in and not much camber. And brake power at 93% because mouse control.
btw ram, somebody asked me to clarify my time from the Cobra at old Silverstone round, it’s at the end of the video I posted to this thread so I assure you it’s legit!
Next round, we’re going to take it a little easy this time after the madness of the previous one 
(no you don’t have to run ABS)
Huh? Who was that? Eh, whatever, this is only an informal racing challenge anyway, I don’t think we should be hounding each other on stupid technicalities like that. It’ll suck the fun out of everything.
Did a few laps, and I was seriously grannying it around. If you can’t beat it… get help
Yeah I thought so. I’m not fussed, but I do feel the need to address anything that opens the possibility of dishonesty on my part.
After a brief mouse test, I can say your target time (with best possible controller) will be 1:35, maybe a little below that is possible. And that means aiming for clean driving, and less of this:
Basically IMHO most times in tarmac racing if your steering wheel is pointed in the opposite direction from the corner you’re wasting time, tread and temperature. It’s not like your rear wheels have to be absolutely 100% gripping the road, and there are probably circumstances where getting it’ll serve you well, like certain corner combos where Scandanavian flick is most relevant.

I’m here so far. The last section of this track is incredibly fun, I have to say.
edit:
FINALLY!

I got a pretty good time in, but the temperature and time of day were off, so I will have to go again for an official time.
Damn, that’s a HUGE chunk of time out. Eco tyres, no aids… oh, what about tyre blankets? I assume those are off, not that it matters given you nailed that time on lap 5 and every lap before that was faster.
makes me want to ask for your setup, much envy
edit: knocked the time down to 1:34.2, there’s definitely room to move but still, 1:31… wow…
so everyone’s beaten my benchmark, eh. Looks like I need more practice and more attempts.
Oh, my time on Eco tyres is 1:33.958, so you’re not far off with 1:34.2. The 1:31 is on regular streets if i remember correctly.
Those eco tyres are sure, er, good for drifting amirite 
Maybe I will take my G27 out tomorrow. That said I think I’m actually not very good with it (I know a poor workman blames their tools but my office desk is not the best setting for a wheel and pedals kit, and if I want to use the shifter I have to sort of attach it to the sliding undertray which likes to, you know, move whenever I shift), so I suspect my times will take a hit…

Honest bit of advice to everyone looking into sim racing, please don’t use controllers for the love of God.

And as for the setup used, i had full negative camber in front (-0,90 ish) and a little more in the rear (-1 - -1,1) and a tiny bit of toe out in front (-0,04) and toe in at the rear (0,04-0,05) and lowered the pressure on the right side (both front and rear) from 30 to 28. Test it out and see what you think. And i did it with my old G25… haven’t used it since i raced in LFS years ago

nice, staggered tyre pressures does give me a bit of extra corner grip on right handers, provided the tyres don’t shit themselves before they’ve warmed up properly! Great tip.
edit: I did change the toe settings slightly just to get a bit better mid-corner grip and also to reduce disproportionate tyre pressures on the rear but it’s quite good.
