That said, I don't disagree that 7.2 is a pretty difficult challenge, requiring multiple laps of error-free driving.

Honestly, that's probably what FM is trying to focus on here. So many players have complained in the past about stupid goals that have nothing to do with racing (we never see any of the "perform 2 donuts", or "ram every car and break the rear windscreen" goals any longer, for instance), and instead they are focusing on time and speed-related goals. In this case, it's a matter of stringing together 6 very good laps to achieve the time goal. But yet, even then people are still complaining.

I think, if I were FM, and especially with the benefit of hindsight, I'd have maybe made the time goal be 6:30(or maybe less even) and I'd have restricted off-track. That would allow more time to finish each lap, without requiring the chicane to be cut each lap. Also, restricting off-track discourages players from cutting the chicane and allowing one to win with far fewer upgrades. Would be interesting to see what the outcome of that would have been.
