Depends on many things
I improved a lot by switching from a non ffb 90 degrees whell to a modest Driving Force GT, and i improved lap times in very precise cars, like the Formulas, by seconds.
if you already have a good whell, then it's just, Skill, a lot of Time, Setup and Apps.
a big help it was the FFB of the car (shame it's bad in that whell, but there is at least..) plus the calm of the Sir Jackie Stewart lesson

before that i HATED front whell drive cars, now i'm in the top 10 in basically every track in the Nissan Primera Audi TT and Seat Leon TCR , just because now i use much less sterring angle than i was using before.
for Setup, if itsn't fix, start with basic setup, up the Tyre app, and do a couple of laps, so you will see if the PSI are wrong, they should stay all the same and in the green zone, different psi makes the car unbalanced, and slower (AC depends a lot on psi) and gears too, then see what the cars feels, and do some small adjustment, always start with a safe/easy setup, stiffer front in general, so you will have more time to improve the skills, it's useless to have "the best setup for the track" if you don't know how the car react, and the setup is for a different driving style.
Delta app helps a lot, specially for the final stage of improvements, because you will see if in any corner in better to have a later entry or a faster exit.
then just try and error, hope it will help.
