Am I the only Auto transmission player struggling with this?I have spent too much time trying to get the Helmet like close to 4 hours overall!Not a big fan of the track and normally play My team or Career and Even cars are different.10.800 is the best I've done so far.....so close yet so far away😢Any words of wisdom gang?

Reinstalled because Leclerc. 💓But, my god, this is impossible with a pad. Absolutely no mechanical grip in the chicanes and Lesmo corners. Where the hell did all the grip go that we had when the game was released? It's like driving on ice.Anyway, I'd try with my wheel (even though I'm usually 1 second quicker with a pad) but I haven't been too well the past few days, have to keep falling into bed. Blegh. So pad it is, unfortunately.Also, can confirm that it's not Equal Performance (as I'd suspected with the Verstappen challenge), so Red Bull is the best car to use. Even though Max says IRL that the Ferraris have more top speed than the Red Bulls, this isn't reflected in the game, so you get a lot of top speed plus the best mechanical grip coming out of the turns. But still, ugh. Sort out the grip / car physics, Codies, for the love of god.Currently within 0.300 of beating Charles' time but I feel like I've reached my absolute limit. Heartbreaking that his helmet won't be mine. 😭Edit: Ok, another lap, lowered the rear tyres a bit more, now within 0.120. Edit 2: AAAAAAHHHH I DID IT!!!!!!! 1:20:084. Holy moly....

It's definitely not equal performance, as my previous best around Monza was a 1.20.2 which had a straight yellow arrow before the team name which means equal.Now it's a 1.20.003 with a white v shaped arrow, which means equal performance is off. But I don't know how much you gain from using Red Bull or even if it helped or if it was just me getting better as I went round the track.

@SteveJackson Yeah they last about a week usually till they do sever maintenance.As a side note I used Critical Insight to get more Stickers....DO NOT DO THAT.I didnt realize how important they are to upgrade your tech numbers....again lack of info😢

@SteveJackson There's a new one today, Leclerc @ Monza

@SteveJackson I use auto gears so can't comment on suggested gear, but I feel as though Charles short shifts out of turn 2. I think you have to be within 2/3 tenths on that exit. It was the last 4 corners (8,9,10 chicane & final corner) I made some time up on his.It is not equal performance in these pro challengers, so after about 10 laps in a Ferrari, I switched to Red Bull, still took between 30/40 laps.I wouldn't be surprised if he is using preset 5 (to give us a chance) and if you select rival set up that's what it puts on your car. You could go to time trial first and find one that beats his time. But I find some of those at the top are too difficult to handle. Top 25% is what is going to beat him.

The frustration for me is not seeing the event....
These modes are confusing. Not sure if I need to do yet more needless 'onboarding'.
I have found the 'sticker album' concept incredibly dull, not only is it unappealing, it seems cluncky. Just stick the stickers for me, okay?
So, am I out of time? Is it that simple. I can't see a Pro Challenge mode anywhere. 😃

I found it harder than Max's last week. He is fast out of turn 2.

Took a while, but was doable.
Last week Verstappen was definitely easier.
