Having spent the last couple of frustrating hours trying to get the JAGUAR XJR-9 around I have absolutely no idea how the top players are managing those ridiculous times.

I watched a few replays and tried to use their brake points but they didn’t work for me, I never made the corner. I tried their cut lines, I always got a penalty. So either the replays are wrong (which wouldn’t surprise me, my ghost is wrong, if I go where it goes I get a penakty!) or ...

The car is horrible to drive. Then there’s those stupid cuts on yet another FM-special track where the white line is meaningless, you can take a cut at some corners, but they won’t tell you just how much!
 * It doesn’t stop.
 * It throttle oversteers way too easily, so trying to accelerate trough/out of a corner is a complete lottery.
 * It understeers if I try to carry speed into/through a corner.

And finally, on the few occasions I was close to my current ghost it blocked my view enough to make it nigh on impossible for me to pick up the turn-in point for the fast S bend. 3+ years of asking FM (on EA Answers, Facebook, Reddit, etc) to please let us turn off the ghost and still not even the courtesy of a response.

I managed two clean (penalty-free) laps and improved on my first attempt with the car but still slower than my current lap.

I’m usually about one second (or less) behind the top players so don’t understand how I can be so far off this week.
