Nah, you should use the brake more often... tap the brakes and use accordingly.  And I wouldn't recommend drifting (if its even possible) since it's a front-wheel-drive.  Not using your brakes and just cranking your steering wheel all the way will result in understeering and overheating your front tires.  I try to dab on the brakes, enter the turn relatively wide and turn-in early.  Not sure if its the correct way for driving a front-wheel car, but in this case it worked for me.  And like I said before, the key is to maintain your speed.  Sliding around will result in losing speed.
Xanadu ~ Yeah, I used MT.  As stated in the Akira setup posted, he said to shift at around 4800-5000rpm.  You can't do that in AT, obviously, as the redline is around 6000 I think.

Oh right... draft... Yes, very important. Normally on the back straight, my top speed was only around 141-or so kmh. With a good tow/draft/slipstream, I got it up to 148k or so at the end of the straight. Remember to brake just a bit earlier to compensate for the higher speed.

i'm never anywhere near anyone on the back straight. i always pass them in the canyon and the turn going into the straight, or somewhere on the front side.

^ Yeah, it's really depends on the sequence of when you pass the cars. A bit of luck involved to see if can catch a car right before the tunnel. I got 2 slipstreams out of 5 laps.

Enzo does handle like trash, but I love it so much.... especially in silver chrome.

About to start playing this again. Netflix and MW2 have been ruling me.

Stood in the 32C (90F for you American folks) heat 90% humidity for hours today just to see this...




It's an older-spec car, but still sounded amazing nonetheless.  Can't beat the live sound and smell of the engine/fuel/tires...

Sent the Matte Dark Blue paints to Mr Tito and selfacclaimed. And i sent JayzOnMyToes the Saleen S7. did I miss anyone out?

Btw, SinnerP, did you get to attend that RedBull F1 event in HK? i wish I could've gone back, even if it meant only staying for the day and going back home tonight.
