3rd gear entry holding the throttle on and steady not quite accelerating get it to the apex once you can get to the apex full throttle do not try it keep it tight let the car go wide use all of the track and then some if necessary on the exit but within the rules.
The brakes in these cars are not very good, so sometimes it is best to go down the first to use it as engine braking once that is established I would go straight back up to second again. Using first gear will definitely assist you in slowing the car down to turn into the apex, will help with rotation. By the time you reach the apex, you should be back into second gear—first gears not used for any acceleration in this case only to help you slow down. I only use this for the first chicane but not always. Sometimes I use 2nd gear.

Try using the model of car I use and follow my ghost. That I feel would be a better example in what I am doing better then I can explain as I haven't got the words to explain that's because I'm an under-educated idiot.

Another tip, break bias 61 maybe 63 ish. TC, about 20 to 35% Works for me in the car I use.
And you are very much welcome, and I thank you for showing your appreciation. :thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup: :)

Great tips Calvyn. :thumbsup: I have so far based my setup around zero toe all around (ended up returning to slight front toe-out) and the lowest wing setting, all to try to reduce scrub and drag for the long straights. Then dropped fast bump to handle the curbs. I was only using 1st gear in the first chicane but found from your advice that using 2nd on exit really helped. The 1-2 shift really kills the drive out of T2, even though it feels on the verge of bogging on exit. I also put some TC back in (20%) which seems to help with consistency.
With the long straights you can really see it on the lap delta what difference each exit makes.

JP, on Parabolica I am using the lamp posts as my apex reference...I *think* it's the 3rd one after you start braking (just before 50m marker).
I am only at max braking for the first 30% of braking distance (from 6th to 5th gear). The remaining time, through 5th, 4th, and into 3rd I try to trail-brake all the way...if you can get the car rotated and the front tires aren't overloaded at the apex you can then really stomp on the gas and never lift until T1.
