I must add that with this set up I completely blitzed Swiss Alps & Tahiti Maze Hard races, just can't get the hang of Grand Canyon or driving on ice

No hurry, thanks for the response

Here's the quick answer.......... Raise the Auto-Set on the transmission to 10 -12 to reduce shifting and wheel spin. Raise the Traction Control to 6 or more. 300 hp is pleanty..... more just makes more wheel spin.

Honest,........ I couldn't imagine completing these races with a hand controller. I use the Logitech G25 on a race stand and I was frantic keeping up with the corners at those speeds.
Be very smooth on the ice and snow with your throttle and brake in-puts.

Good luck, Happy Racing, and I'll get back to this post soon with further details, Brian
