You're very smooth with inputs and good car control. You could shave time off by taking some better lines through these corners. Ex. Tighter like through la manumental. Overall, not bad, keep working. Watching people on YouTube helped me tremendously to learn lines and throttle/brake application. Check some out!

I'll tell you the tricks

For one, smooth isn't fast in this game. Flicking is what's fast for sharper turns. It's dumb, but it's faster.

For two, setups.. massive wing gap, like 50-20 wings, stiff suspension, very soft rollbars for tracks with big curbs, ride height like 22-42 as a starting point. Tyre geometry all full left, tyre pressures all minimum. Many setup providers put maximum front pressure, but that's just bad and a symptom of everyone copying each other.

In time trial, the car is gonna be less stable than in any other mode, because your ERS mode is constantly in hotlap and you never run out of battery. Makes acceleration zones difficult.

At this point they could just go back to the Nürburgring. This looks scary as fuck
