When the WTCC pack was released, I only raced the FWD cars. I figured the BMW would be similar to the Race 07 one, which I never learned how to drive competitive laps with it. In addition, everyone either here or on the forums would say that it's the slowest/hardest car to drive so I barely touched it.
After the DTM 1992 expansion, I started tweaking the suspension to make the 190 and the E30 more to my liking and to my surprise I actually found an overall setup that really suited my driving style. So, I decided to go back and try to adapt this to the 320, and voila! It worked! All of the sudden, I can drive it just as fast as the Chevys and Hondas. Basically, it's a much stiffer setup than the default but the RWD helps me rotate the car. I still struggle a bit with certain chicanes and on hard braking, and I still wouldn't choose it as my preferred car but the raw speed is there.
Anyway, back to the reason I'm making this thread: I hopped on a Monza server, built up a nice lead and just started pushing very hard, as if I was driving qualifying laps. Ended up with this:
This would be 3rd fastest on the leaderboard (laptime was without any drafting help). With Monza being my least favorite track, mostly because hard braking is my biggest weakness, I'm really proud to have done this.
