what a horrible, horrible, horrible car.

Terrible turn in. Seemingly endless amounts of understeer. Horrible traction. Sounds like a bus. Laggy as hell power delivery. I think it's the worst car I've found in the game so far.
Weird.
I like it. Its very challenging. It very balanced if you get the throttle right.
Do you have aids?

GE, I'll double check my sectors tomorrow when I try and beat you :-)

It doesn't have great turn-in and you need to up the revs to get it to respond but I think it balances oversteer quite nicely! The Pagani Huayra is the worst car to me - takes the bad traits of the McLaren and multiplies by 100.

+6 sec off!? Don't get it.
Besides that, why does DRS keep going off when I'm accelerating down the straight and also noticed KERS seems to auto deploy or am I wrong. Still won't help me get back 6 sec, just interested how its used.

You have to hold the DRS button until some defined speed (haven't worked it out yet). I just hold the button the whole time biggrin

And yes the KERS is built-in. You can't control it - boosts all the time.

What is weird, is that the software doesn't let it recharge. In real life the car recharges during part-throttle but I have tried doing a full lap at part throttle and it made no difference to SOC.

The car charges under braking

I just drive round with my foot riding the brake lol
This car is HATEFUL to drive!
I'm glad I never traded my car in for a P1 - I'll stick with the 307 Diesel for now biggrin

Is it really that bad? I really enjoy it.

Then again I liked the Pagani HYeueruueeuryarrh.

I think if it was on Trofeo it would be better. Stock setup uses P Zero Rosso which are terrible anyway!
You just need to enter at a reasonable speed and balance the throttle.

Another question in Trigs voyage through project cars.
Was reading about this UDP setting in options (default = off), seems it can be used by a companion app on a PC or phone to give lots of info during and after races. Anybody with a PS4 use UDP and an app? Any recommendations on a good app, saw one called vHud http://vhud.oscarolim.pt/ which looked interesting but don't know if its much use. Any experience of these from you more experienced players?

Sorry GE , right back at you :-)

PS - A perfect lap a mid 1;59 is possible from me. I was like 0.4 seconds slower middle sector (I had a big wobble on the highspeed left/right before the sharper 3rd gear right around midway point).

If ever meet Ron Dennis, I am going to bhslap the SOB if this car really drives this way IRL

Not my favourite car, I know I can go at least a second faster but I keep losing it, consistency escapes me in this one. Usually, consistency is easy for me.

Yucky!

You guys having handling problems are you trying to use the DRS on all the straights? Because there are only 2 DRS zones on the track, the start finish straight and the back straight. The activation lines are the finish line and just before the kink, you press the DRS allocated button and it stays open. messing about trying to keep it open by keeping your finger on the button in the wrong places just upsets the balance of the car and it's not a fast open and shut system.

If I get time I'll try again later or tomorrow.

There are some delays to opening and closing but I use it on all the straights including the last section with that right hander before the final chicane.

Got the G29 all setup on the playseat.
Great aside from I can't seem to extend the wheel (I want it about 2 inches further back).

Feels like I'm learning all over again haha, about 1.5 seconds off my Pad pace but I can absolutely feel an improvement, mainly coming out of corners I can keep it pinned and use the steering to correct.
