What you suggested is actually what I spent yesterday doing. I actually brought my lap times down by nearly 10 seconds. The BMW is a great car and much easier to control overall compared to the GT 86, at least for me. Even before practicing I watched a couple of videos that I found incredibly helpful. One was an older real life video on racing from Skip Barber and another taught me about where to keep my eye when racing. With nothing but those two videos and some practice, I got my time on the Nurburgring circuit the site is currently running down to 1:40 on a consistent basis, which is still a second or two off the slowest times currently. I know exactly which corners give me problems though and I am working on them. Overall I am much better and rarely go off the track though and am hitting good racing lines on I'd say about 70% of the corners. If I can get it down around 1:35-1:38 before Saturday, I will try a couple of real races this weekend.

I'm gonna race against some AIs today too and I will try turning up their aggressiveness and speed as you suggested. Hopefully that will help.
