This achievement may seem daunting... but it's so much easier than the Type C Streamline achievement. I made plenty of mistakes before my completed run, and I was running sub 8 minute times on those. Don't let the restrictions stop you from being able to complete this, because it's easily possible with time to spare. Advice below:

Short upshift/long downshift: This car has a lot of power going through the rear wheels, with all the weight hanging out there too. Short shifting at around 5,500revs helps keep that rear end in check when accelerating and staying in gear longer whilst braking does help limit the car fishtailing over bumps.

Map accel/brake to R2/L2 if possible: This helps massively as you can better manage your inputs to keep the car under control like with the advice above.

Set a ghost time: If you end up making a mistake halfway around... don't reset. Instead, complete that lap to see where you're at in regards to the target time. If you're miles ahead after making multiple mistakes, you can slow down to make the lap more manageable. This also gives you more time to understand the cars handling quirks throughout the lap.

Avoid 1st and 2nd wherever possible: Due to the boost of the Turbo's being so vicious, you don't need to enter 1st or 2nd, as doing so can unsettle your car and give you excess wheelspin. 3rd should really only be used for tighter turns as 4th can get you enough power out of sweepers with a good amount of control.

Brake early, brake straight: With the undulating nature of the Nürburgring, it's easy to out brake yourself at multiple times, especially with the 80's brakes on the Yellow Bird. Braking early and in a straight line will prove beneficial to getting a clean lap in, especially towards the start and end of the lap.

na moral, que conquista chata. O carro é muito ruim de guiar nas curvas de media e alta. E nos trechos de subida e descida da agonia demais pq vc tem que ir muito devagar. O tempo da volta em si é relativamente tranquilo, o maior problema mesmo é conseguir segurar o carro na pista sem ele rodar.

This achievement being worth the same points as the Auto Union one is a joke. You can drive like a complete yobbo on this one and still manage to get a much faster time than 8:05. 25 points is far too generous for this imo, even if it is the Nurburgring with no assists.

Exactly, you don't need to accelerate at full speed, if you master the car's curve alignment and pay attention to the accelerator and brake, using them at the same time until you master this alignment, it becomes much more relaxed, if you don't know where to start My tip is to stay in fourth gear most of the time, until you get the hang of the others. Great challenge by the way!

Do you need to win the Yellowbird in Arcade, or do you transfer it from GT mode?
