420HP Downhill Control in Assetto Corsa Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution IX Akina Downhill Time Attack

My Fellow Racers,
Continuing with the still nameless series, here is Chapter 8 using the 2005 Mitsubishi Lancer Evo 9 Voltex Trophy that has 420HP which was no joke to control coming down Akina. Seeing that this will be the final run at Akina for now, what a way to close this chapter. I chose this car to represent AWD cars for the downhill time attack at Akina & I managed to get 4:39:045 on a clean run. This was not an easy run to put down. The weight was higher than I would have liked which lead to the tyres not holding out... I had to work the tyre pressure first to cope with this kind of run then I changed the camber to match how responsive I wanted the car to be during cornering. The hard part came with finding the limit and I wanted to push more but if I did, the tyres would give out so tyre management was key in this run.
As I mentioned previously since chapter 1, there are rules that I am following for this because it is a personal challenge so here it is:-
1. Starting at the start line. No rolling starts.
2. No collisions. Self-explanatory.
3. No tyre blankets. Have to heat the tyres on the run.
4. Along with no collisions allowed, there is also a track limit rule;
4.1. The run must register clean in whatever way the game decides it (I will look into getting more info on this)
4.2. Gutter runs and off-road are green zones.
5. Tyre choices are open.
6. All setup options open.
7. Track conditions set to 100%... or lower.
8. Force feedback options open with exceptions;
8.1. Auto-matching steering rotation must be on.
8.2. Auto-matching transmission must be on.
I think that's about it, I haven't thought of anything else.
Car details:
Firstly, I gotta say that this car was insane to drive. I had way too much fun with it... now,
I used "Medium" tyres (there were other options I think). I had a minimalistic custom setup alongside that... There wasn't much to do besides the alignment but the car could really respond to my changes.

Track details:
This is still PK Akina but this is going up the hill or doing a hillclimb.

Hey... if you made it this far, you get a reward. I am going to turn this into a series so feel free to request a run if you want... like car and track/course combo; otherwise I will just stick to my list.
