Easy method to master ALL corners

[NathObeaN]

I know many of you have trouble mastering all the corners in the game, most notably the last corner on Karussell/Nordschleife. I found a method which allowed to me complete these corners with relative ease as well as EVERY other corner in the game.

Note - I now have every single-player epic badge bar the perfect starts (wasn't aware what it was until I looked having completed the game already). Yes, that includes mastering every corner in the European tracks and the Star Collector epic badge.

The method? Well it's not so much a method, but more a car: Ford Escort RS Casworth. Ignore all the crap about the Audi S4, this car is as easy as it gets. I'm not saying it removes the challenge, I still had a bit of trouble with the Karussell corner and a few others, but because the car drives so slowly, it makes it VERY easy to stay on the line. Do not modify the car AT ALL. Leave it at stock.

Now, for the Karussell corner, do not approach the corner at full speed. Approach it tapping repeatedly on the accelerator so that when you actually hit the corner, there is a slight bit of red line in front of you, but it should disappear almost instantaneously upon letting go of the accelerator, then gently tap the accelerator as you move around the corner - DO NOT GO OFF THE LINE - AT ALL. This is the method I used and I completed the corner on both the Karussell and Nordschleife within 4 attempts. Really, you shouldn't really need to use your brakes with this car using the above method on the Karussell/Nordschleife corner, if you find yourself slamming on the brakes you are hitting the corner too fast and will most likely overshoot. To prove I am not telling BS:

Again, I am not saying this removes all the challenge, so don't come crying to me saying I am talking crap because you still can't pass the corner. This car makes the corner as easy to pass as possible; if you still can't do it within multiple attempts with this car then I am afraid it is your fault and not the game. Yes I know the corner can be VERY difficult, but it is NOT impossible.

Note - for the Star Collector, when you are required to master the corners on certain tracks, including the Nordschleife, just do it in Quick Play mode, pass it, and then go back to the career, start the race and it will automatically pop up, you don't need to master the corner in the career as well.

For those of you that want to know the settings I used:

AI: Hard
Steering Assist: Off
Brake Assist: Off
Anti-Lock Brakes: On
Traction Control: High
Stability Control On
Damage Effects: Visual Only
Gears: Automatic

Hope this helps! :)

Just did it now. After trying about 10 times with the Escort i went ahead and tryed with the S4 and did it on my 3rd try.

I did tune the S4 mind you, tuning was Downforce 100 and Steering Lock 20. I use a control pad

Hope this helps some ppl and GL with it :)

Going to try this right now even tho still gotta get perfect lauches

I agree that Ford Escort is a great choice. But I cannot master some corners on the higher gears - Ford Escort is little 'slippy'. I found that Acura NSX* (or Honda NSX* in Japanese) even with all upgrades is perfect. I can easily control this car in the fast corners.

* Available in "Exotic Racing Series" DLC.

Thanks for this. I keep coming back to this game, gradually working on what's left of the achievements.

I was no good at driving games until I got 3D set. Played this game in 3D on PC and honestly taking turns is now much more intuitive.

I will have to try this out. I have this car and it is pretty upgraded.

these methods are total bollocks! actual found it harder and more frustrating,just mastered all corners at spa and they were all done at full racing speed! you see its simple,the racing lines are designed and set up in such a way that they NEED to be taken at FULL race speed.anyone coming back to do these trust me mastering those corners will come naturally through good hard racing!

EDIT - just to add a works converted dodge viper works a treat on those corners,id never use one in career (too slow) but great for mastering corners.

steering lock-65
gearing-45
balance-55
downforce-60

tweeked for a while but eventually found these settings comfortable
