All great points but one more to consider I think.
There could be a scenario where a particular PC can handle being alone on track perfectly well but struggles for performance when it has to show a full grid of 23 cars. The less FPS you have the car is harder to control because your system is showing you less up to date information on the screen which causes you to react too slowly and can make the car way harder to control.
In this situation one could conceivably experience a hard to handle car online whilst being able to handle it much easier when practicing in hot lap mode.
So maybe activate the FPS counter in Steam overlay and check if this is the case - you may find you need to reduce some graphical settings to run smoothly online.
Above all don’t aim for pace. Instead drive consistently and pace will follow. Oh and never try and gain time under braking, that is the number 1 mistake of most people.
