Asking here as well, anyone got any experience with using the Fanatec CSL Elite with GT Sport? Considering a change from the G29.
I think OldGit_Gamer has one along with a few of the other guys who frequent the PC racing sims thread here.

Noted, thanks!My main advice would be take the time to qualify well. It's a lot easier to have a nice clean race and do well if you're starting near the front rather than in the middle of the pack. Have a look at what cars the top guys are using but until you go up in rank it's going to be more about how well you can drive the track than differences in car performance.
Especially weird considering an Italian won the round at the Nurburgring...

Yup, been running one since October. Gotta have a load cell pedal with it to get the best out of it though, that in itself is a game changer.
I'm nearing all gold on the circuit experience, the only one left is a full lap of Nurburgring. The time for gold is 6:57 and I'm at 7:05 now. Any tips for this track or is it just trial and error?
Thanks guys
Way to go. Better do something you enjoy than race a car you don't enjoy just because the meta says it's the best.You know what, am going to stick with my heart and go with Honda, at the end of the day am not going to bother the really top guys and might as well stick to what I like :P
So if you pick a manufacturer you can only race with their cars during the season? What if they only have cars from one or two classes?
Porsche time. In practice I finally managed a 3.20 hopefully I can manage a 3.19 with a good draft.
Edit: Qualified 4th because of a tiny mistake in the Porsche curves (.107 behind the #2), basically the worst position imo because your immediately 1 second behind 3 coming out of the chicane at the start.
Finished 4th. 1217 points. Decent position I guess.
Nice going, what was your qualifying time and what DR are you?
Did you only have enough time for 1 quick lap in qualifying?
These races are too freaking early. Can only pick one now
EDIT: wait, website said 17:00-21:00, game says 19:00-23:00.
Damn. You also checked within the game? Maybe it's just the website giving wrong timesHell, I wish I had something that late. The races here are 15:00 - 19:00.
The whole FIA thing feels a bit pointless though for anyone besides an alien. Wish they had done multiple classes so all of us had a chance to win something.

No f*cking way ahahhaahaahDecided to skip Nation's round, I was waaay off pace and couldn't stop picking up penalties during practice. Didn't wanna tank my SR.
As for Manufacturers I chose Lexus, qualified 5th, finished 2nd with clean race bonus. Guy in 1st with the new Toyota was unreachable. Not a fan of the Gr3 Lexus though
Highlight of the race:
Urgh I had a nightmare in both races too. Didn't have a great qualy on Suzuka, started 14 but was up to 8th by lap 5 then I got pushed wide on 130R and got a massive penalty and then put it in the gravel stupidly trying to stop to take it. Ended up dropping back to last and falling off the track through pushing too hard and making daft mistakes. Think I might've been in the same lobby as you FeD - you've gone with Ferrari haven't you?
Sarthe I got blocked on my qualifying lap by a Spaniard trying to scrub off his penalty so placed 7th when I had the pace for 2nd. Was going pretty well and up to 4th when I had a brain fade and didn't put enough bloody fuel in so had to put twice and finished 14th. Balls.
Ah that's good, I hadn't realised that - the timing of the events isn't great for me with working away and going on holiday so I've probably missed my best chances for a good result :-(Yeah that was me! Luckily for us only the 2 best results count. Suzuka was a massive disappointment for me as well.
Took me a while but I managed to get gold on the Nurburgring lap (was 1 second behind gold on my second clean lap and couldn't make another clean lap for like an hour after that -.- )
So all gold in the driving school and all gold with the tracks, now time for Sport mode!
I second this.Well done :-)
Sport mode is a completely different experience, personally I'd recommend the 3rd daily / longer races as they tend to be easier to build your DR and SR - the shorter races tend to be a mad scramble for places imo.

Do you not fancy our Sunday evening league? We've had a couple of guys drop out so there's space if your up for it.
I would love to fill in, I just noticed that my notifications don't show up so every time GHG asked me I just didn't notice it.
On another note just did the manufacturer race. Qualification went better this time, though certainly not perfect. On my first quick lap I got hit (not very hard) coming into the last hairpin, giving him a 5-second penalty and myself a 1-second penalty. Immediately forgot about that lap and went into the pits for fresh tires. Coming out I only had a little under 5 minutes left so I decided to not to take big risks on my final attempt. The lap went without any incidents but I did drove perhaps too conservative. Qualified 8th .270 behind #4 which I could definitely have driven.
Now the race went pretty okay, I wanted to see how the first lap would unfold and after the first corner I lost 1 place. Then the subsequent lap I was behind the pack and couldn't get a good clean overtake, so I decided to safe my tires as much as possible and set my brake bias to the rear to alleviate my front tires. Now lap 5 I got greedy and thought I could get an overtake on the one in front so I set my bias back to the front made to overtake and got past him but looking back on it I probably should not have done that. Lap 6 I came into the pits on 8 just for fuel. Came out of the pits in 3rd with the tires still feeling pretty good. Now fast forward to lap 9, I'm still in 3rd but my tires just get to the point where they completely fall off, eventually costing me 2 places. If I didn't made the greedy overtake earlier in the race the tires would have lasted just that bit longer and I might have been third and definitely 4th. But still 5th is okay, especially after the disaster that was Suzuka, got 1197 points for it so I can't complain.
