Faster laps do not need faster cars.

. No brake support and no traction control are mandatory. Steering assist low might work, but the top players also have it switched off.

. Hitting the perfect driving line on a track, taking into account the "normal" on-off track limitations and knowing perfectly the RR3 specifics (on some tracks you really can drive way off-track without it counting as such) This is the number one skill to improve your times.

. Braking (or just lifting) at the perfect time, and stepping on the gas at the right moment (normally but not always the apex) is the number two skill which moves your time to the top levels.

. No errors : even the slightest deviation from perfect will cost you some tenths, thus moving an otherwise perfect run to B, C or D.

. If you look at a top run (A group; top 10) you can find the perfect racing line and the optimal brake and acceleration points. It is helpfull to record the run and play it in slow motion aftherwards). But even if you know all this; getting your own eye to hand coordination to copy what you know is perfect needs at first skill and secondly training, training, training.

So can everybody reach A group : no, the skill set (genetically or by doing) is for most of us a given, and even with the best training it is impossible to beat the Usain Bolts among us.

But trying to use the above principles will improve your times, and every RR3 player knows the kick of building up that yellow-light green-dark green time indicator which shows the improvement in WTTT.
