This was my 5th attempt. Lap times kept creeping up and I got more confidence in the car's handling each race. Was on a Thrustmaster TX Wheel. High Grip car setup. I started off on Hard difficulty and the ai were setting 1:42s which was too fast. So I dialed down to medium and they were still hitting 1:42s. Eventually I got my lap times down to 1:42 as well. Definitely feeling accomplished. I know I can shave off another second or two.
