WOW this was fun. What a beast of a little car. This thing rides on rails and requires the utmost precision in terms of throttle and steering touch. Truly a challenging and fun trial.

Done
Kill IT!!!!

Managed a 2:11:489 with this setup.

Lancer @ Chamonix

So this race I found to be quite challenging. On the face of it, it seems very simple. AWD Lancer, average power on a fairly quick snow circuit. The truth of it is though, that you have to treat it more like a high speed track than anything else. Leaving the corners quickly doesn't mean much here since you have such little grip to begin with so here is the optimal setup. You'll be slow in the tight corners but you'll make the GOLD time.

Dampers 3 all around
ARB 3s again

Set top speed to 180
Then
Set 5th all the way to the right 0.874
Set 4th to 1.060
Set 3rd to 1.314
 leave others alone.

Set brakes to F 8 / R 10

Set 4wd torque to F 45 / R 55

Added 154Kg of Ballast to +50

Added wing and 70 Downforce to the rear.

The biggest key here is to nail the lines. Snow racing requires a lot of balance and trust in the car as well as reading the road and turning in before the turn. Get your lines right here and with this car and tune the win is easy.
