Holy smokes! I thought the Sierra was a tough car to learn. That was like driving an F1 car compared to this BMW M1 Stage 3. I can't figure this car out. I can't for the life of me get under a 2:32 right now. Turbo up turbo down. Can't figure out how to make this car go any faster. The oversteer the understeer. I lose control of the car so easily and it's almost impossible to recover. I tried that "stability" setup as well but it didn't help. I can't believe I'm 14 seconds off. This is one of the worst cars I've driven on here and it doesn't seem like anyone else is having as much trouble as I am. What am I missing here?

Same here. Never drove that car before.. I was like WOW. this is not an easy one to drive. I only have time to drive in 1 maybe 2 series, let alone put the time in to figurine this car out. So I dropped the BMW and went with another series.

I've been practicing with it all week. Finally tried to do a race. I couldn't keep the damn thing on the track. and I was going so slow. Everyone is just flying by me. By the end of the race the car was just spinning out from under me. Tires were all blue. I did get a PB on one lap. ughh!! I give up.

Have you tried changing tyre pressures? I think they're too high on the default setup, I use 25-26 on the front and 27 on the rear

I lowered the PSI as Tanguy suggested and I was much more concistant but still can't get below 2:31:070 I almost tied my PB a few times but couldn't get any faster. Maybe I'll try 100%.

Jason, Save a replay of your next race in this series. Then go back and watch the fastest guy from a few different angles. You might see a different line, approach, exit, ect. Its helped me alot by doing this.

lowered tyres PSI as described, set turbo to 100 and in Q i got under 2:21 old PB was 2:22.9, so huge difference and 2nd place and clen of contacts instead of 10th best (and 2 bumps from behind in T1 )

try PSI as Alex wrote, TURBO 80 to 100%
brake hard but in straight line then release brakes and turn , look at replay the line , and then push gas after turn as much as possible ,nicely here pays of slow in fast out , not disturb the car a lot, the 2:25 times are easily possible
