Not sure - guess I thought if I could get ahead at the start it might help.
Used my usual Trial settings - Difficulty Unbeatable, Braking Anti-Lock Off, Steering Sim, Traction On, Stability Off, Shifting Manual.
Maybe the lower speed with better Lateral Gs might be as good but I just chose what I thought might work if I got a clean run.
As you know, I don’t consider myself to be any sort of great or even good driver, so I had to make a snap decision.
As long as it works, I’m happy.
