Welcome back mate, good to see new content. I absolutely hate this race, given up with it for now (on hard mode at least) as I just can’t get the uphill hairpins right. Gaining time the whole lap, but can’t get it sussed! 😂
Sometimes I give up and choose normal. Hard is too hard sometimes. It is only the need to do these videos that means I have to spend a few hours trying different cars and strategies until I find what works for me.
Thank you for sharing these tips, I used the Focus according to yours tips + nitros on, it worked from first time I got Gold, I pit only once on lap 9 for fuel only.
that was super helpful i was quick but pit stops was killing me 1st time around i was still a little heavy with the foot just ran out of fuel but nailed it 2nd time around ....THANKS smooth is fast 😁
Welcome back Mitch! Good to see these videos from you again, but I guess, with your completion of the game, they would be few and far between anyway until PD release new challenges. I also wanted to do this in the new McRae Subaru but yeah, no chance! So I switched to the Focus but still failed! Haha. More attempts are necessary!
Hi M, thank you. Yup these are a little few and far between now but I do have a couple of races to complete and also a couple of older races to retry because people are struggling with them after the recent physics updates. This game continues to keep me busy.
Thank you. I wouldn’t have looked at the Ford. I applied my “default” settings. I was tired of this race so I put it on easy to make it go away. I won by 22 seconds, no stop.
Thanks for the tips. Something I've really noticed this update is that Racing Soft tires arent worth it in endurance races anymore. Previously once they'd run down they were fine so long as you didnt brake too aggressively at high speeds, now your car is an ice cube once the tires are shot. You'll RM or RH tires for this race.
@@playstationracer67 You’re welcome mate and thanks. The best I’ve been able to get so far is third so I think I need to continue to study your racing lines which hopefully will allow me to achieve a first placed finish in the future. Keep up the good work and looking forward to your Road Atlanta World Touring Car 600 video as that is another race I’m struggling to get gold on at the moment.
Depending on work commitments today, I hope to get the WTC600 done today and the video out ASAP. It looks like another interesting race to win on hard.
Wow, that WTC600 race at Atlanta is one hard race. I could get second fairly easily in most cars, but first on hard was a tough cookie. I did it in the end in the Ford Focus RS of all cars. Tune and race is now available on my channel as usual.
@@playstationracer67 Thank you Mitchell, really appreciate the effort you put into winning races like that on Hard difficulty. I’ll give your video a watch later and see if I can emulate your success. Have a good evening my friend!
Brilliant! Worked like a charm. You can lift and coast on the turns before the pit lane and heading down into the turn with pit exit. hooking up the hairpins is vital though - took an extra attempt just getting comfortable with the brake zones but easy 1st. Cheers mate!
Nevermind, the settings worked perfect for me, you just need to go on a higher gear on the pit lane exit to take the turn smoother, including the following hairpins, i would recommend at least use the NOS on a close-to-middle amount or middle for a good boost on the final straight
Nice one Mitch... I am yet to do this race... I also like the Focus a lot, so I will probably use it too... Great tips with the tyres and fuel mapping... As you know,, I need more help than most.. Hope you are well rested and you had a magic holiday... Have a great Sunday.
For the life of me i could not figure out how you were running 106 laps all stock. Then i noticed you actually had high rpm tc. Although, idk how you can go flat out through the course and still have fuel. Ive even let off and coasted for most corners of the laps and keep running out on lap 12.
Thanks for your comment and visit. Everything is in the video, so I’m not sure what more I can say. Just change up using manual gears as soon as possible to conserve fuel.
Hey mitch, hope you had a nice break mate. I did this in the focus GRb lol... its a fun track, but IMHO, its not a race track. More of a TT track... TC mate and hopefully see you on track soon 👍🏁
Thank you my friend. I had a great holiday and jut catching up on a few things before getting back into the evening lobby race streams from Monday. I'm considering doing a series of races at this track, but I agree with you that it is more of a 'stage' than a circuit track. I do love this one though and I'm glad that it is back in the game.
Just upshift really, REALLY quickly. Sometimes I am even doing double upshifts to save fuel. Some people have used the Audi, but I found that way too hard to drive with the new physics.
@playstationracer67 always but I average a 1.06.6s fastest slowest 1:07:388 beside 1:08:301 first lap better lap times and highest I can get is third no pit
Keep trying the challenge. You’ll get quicker and I’m sure you will nail this one. Also remember that if you close down the race and go back in, the competitors change and sometimes they can be a little easier. You might need to come out and back in a few times to get an easier mix.
I won this race with the Subaru two door went medium tyres and pitted in at lap six fuel was at four. I actually crept across the line on lap 12 ran out of fuel but won it
Slow in and fast out, but maybe try a lower gear at the very end of the braking phase to get the car turned in more. It might just be that you are going into the corners too fast and the car can't handle the speed and steering inputs.
@playstationracer67 I have a 1:03:835 on the Laptime challenge...it just feels like a different car on the reverse layout...I'm struggling to get 1:06:00 🙄
