u/SleddingDownhill

Fairly new to the game; I have been driving a BRZ GT300 since taking on the WR 800 challenge for the last menu. I've been using AMS Dood's tuning suggestion from his video on Gr3 cars. (The only difference is I was on racing hards instead of softs due to the PP limit.) 1st gear and 2nd gear are pretty long, I think to prevent a lot of wheelspin at the top of the revs in those gears, but there still is some before the car upshifts into 2nd or 3rd. On faster courses, this is less of an issue, but I noticed particularly at Bathurst, in the slower technical sections when the car can't really get out of 1st too often (doesn't shift until about 90mph), it's hard to keep up out of corners a bit because I can't floor it or I'll spin out, and also it feels like the car won't upshift at all if I don't get to about 90% throttle.

Is the solution here to set up the transmission with slightly shorter 1st and 2nd gears, or will that just actually make it worse? Are other solutions like adjusting LSD or suspension or aero the way to go? Or do I just need better throttle control (I'm on controller)? I'd appreciate any help you guys have!
