my formula gt has 920bhp and on typical oppnents it says around 880bhp.

but on straight lines they can still overtake my formula gt even when mine has 40bhp more then them?

Sounds like to me you have some transmission settings to adjust in the top speed area.

Yeah, sounds like you're hitting the rev limiter if other cars are overtaking you on the straight. Adjust the transmission for a higher speed.

As far as driving assists, you just have to see what works best for you. If you're spinning out a lot, then turn some assists on. If you're driving it really well, then you can turn them off.

hey, taking on these 6 races is hard, but what worked for me is that i did the following: (for A-spec) 1. change the transmission setting for each race 1st: 390, 2nd: 390, 3rd: 330 4th:390 5th:390, 6th:390. 2. changed the air dynamics: kept the downforce high so i would not lose control of the car 3. changed the driving options: -transmission: go for AT -front & rear tires : racing soft -driving line: on -traction control: off -skid recovery force: on -active steering: off active stability management: on -ABS: 5 4. tracks 1,2 & 5 are easy giving the fact that u already know the course and know some cool shortcuts 5 in track 3 the easiest way to attack this course is that u get to first position by the 2nd corner that way all the cars will go at ur speed.. thats the reason why i used 330 top speed. 6. if u got 300 points from ur first 3 races then the fourth should be easy cuz getting in 3rd wont ruin ur chances of getting the gold. 7. if u got 475 by the end of the 5th race... all u need to do is check ur opponents if any of them can beat ur score by getting in 1st 2nd or 3rd... then u gotta play this one and finish in first... if not just get the car in second position off the track (by crashing into it) and wait for every one to pass and quit that way neither u or him get any points and the score at the top remains the same. ~~~overhauling will make the car faster on straights~~~ enjoy
