Oh, and for the record - lvl 119, 92/223 cars, never won GC in WTT.

At the outset (basically stages 1-5), everything seems pretty much as it should be. Some events are a bit tricky, but you can live with that. Stage 6 was suddenly super-hard, even though I was still in the green PR-wise; stage 7 ate half my day. The thing is, I just didn't know Nurburgring well enough, and the benchmarks were clearly not designed for an average player. For instance, you'd have to know that the barrier at the end of the opposite straight at the Mullenbachschleife is actually on track, and that you can hit it with the back of your car without incurring damage (6.4). You'd have to know there are areas that look off track (notorious right-handers where the runoff is actually entirely useable), but aren't, so that you can stretch your turns (whole stage 7). Adding the last brake upgrade helps a bit with handling - I'm now in the middle of stage 8 at 3332334 (PR 84.8, 400 GC + 60 GC for skipping 7.2) and it finally looks like the goals are within reach.
