I checked mine on Sunday and had silvers for both that one and the night lambo one. Slack I know!
Anyway, I tried a few things with the 8C, I golded it twice and actually found the night lambo one harder.
I used the normal controller during these tests so I needed some level of TCS.
The less you need, the better time you'll get, I got 1:17:xxx on TCS 3, just not enough to pass.
1:16:9xx on TCS of 2.
1:16:8xx on TCS of 1.
ABS I tried on 0, 1 and 10. 10 definitely worked best for me.
I set the Skid Recovery Force on.
Active Steering I set to Mild.
ASM: Definitely off.
Controller Sensitivity I usually have on 7.
The only other tip I can note is that I don't have the foot down whenever an event is a standing start, as opposed to a rolling start, I only floor it just as the countdown '1' fades away.
With this car, I tested different methods of negotiating the corners, I found it was best to brake as per normal but to do a very minor handbrake tail flick at the very end to get on the driving line quicker. If you handbrake too much, the car loses traction and while it's spinning and going nowhere, your losing precious time. Basically, brake well, then tail flick to get your line, the more straight lines you can make on this track the better. It did feel weird to do it this way but the loss of traction is what costs the most time in this car. It felt slower because I wasn't flooring it, but maintaining a good line and rolling through is quicker. There a couple of corners that you can make better straight lines out of by ignoring the driving line. The key is to make as many straights as possible by going wider then flicking the tail into line, once the car is on that line, it doesn't have the same traction problem and you can floor it. Sacrifice a little on the corner to get your line right and you'll make it up easily. Just stop those wheels spinning!
Other than that, just keep trying to beat your own times through each time-check, you will get the time you need eventually.
