Can someone please post their time for Imola.  I have only managed to do
1:26 with only auto shift and throttle help.  I also have a question
about the brakes; no matter what I set the brake bias to, the car always
understeer when I apply the brakes at the middle of a corner.  I suspect
this is because I am using switch mode for both accel/brake so everytime
I press on the brakes, I lock all four wheels at the same time.  Can
someone confirm on this and how can you remedy the situation to make it
oversteer and tight the turn?

My best so far : 1:23.013. The key at Imola seems to be setting the car
for low drag.

I don't think you want to be braking and turning to any great degree,
certainly not with the a digital brake. However, increasing your front
wing will help the car change direction quickly, too much relative to
your rear wing though and you will just end up spinning round and round.

For braking I try to use short taps on the brake rather than a
continuous pressure. On the occasions where I am into the corner too
fast, I prefer to change down (RPM allowing), or if I need more in the
middle of a bend, a quick tap on the brake and dropping a gear will
usually save my ass.
