I don't really know or care what my setups are, because I have been playing it on the demo version of ICR2, so the car's setup can't be adjusted. But I am using a joystick along with manual braking and manual shifting and I have managed to get my time down to 1:10.485. I think the secret is in taking the turns as smoothly as possible without any wheel skid noises and carrying as much speed out of the cork***turn as possible since it leads up to a pretty fast section of the track before having to slow down for the right turn. Good luck, if you can get it down to a 1:12, I am sure you can get down to at least a 1:10! Although I don't think it might be possible to beat Villeneuve's time with a joystick because it's just not that precise.
