Hi Clay,
You bring up an interesting point. I believe the the lap times are achieved
by:
1) Using RAIN tires on dry pavement. There is a flaw in the sim where this
allows you to get better traction - this is wrong and is a fix is being
investigated.
2) There isn't enough pain when going off the grass. In other words, if you
go into the sand at Laguna or the grass at cleveland, it doesn't have a huge
effect on your speed/control. A fix for this is also being investigated.
