Pity they won’t let you actually drive. Why no rev matching allowed? Why can’t you use 2nd gear for the slow corners? Why on the shortest possible layout. It says 5 laps of the track- which is international layout, or adjustment in laps to give similar track time. Quite shitty of them giving you 5 laps of a tiny layout AND not letting you drive the way you can/want (not drifting, or damaging hardware obviously)
The car would've been a lot faster if you could downshift to 2nd but they're trying to minimise wheel spin because there's going to be people driving this car who lack the skill to correct a skid that they have to account for. You can rev match, I just missed the accelerator pedal once so they told me not to worry. I found that they were quite leniant at letting me drive within my skill, no you couldn't go to 2nd but they were quite happy for me to be a bit lighter on the brakes to carry more speed into the corners. This was part of a driver experience day with other cars but I think they do it on the west circuit now

That would be Bathurst not The Bend, kinda mixed that up but that's ok
It is the bend, just the track data was set wrong.
