Literally everyone. Seems to be the meta in that class. I also took a Mini Cooper out and knocked 0.7sec off the former fastest Mini time on this course, but there was no chance of ever keeping up with the Lancia in it, and I was giving it everything. It gets off the line faster and can maintain a razor-thin lead through the very touge-like first split, but then the straightaways appear and it just can't keep up Then I took the Nova out and while I couldn't get WR, I did come up to 20th in the world, only 6.7sec off pace, and that's with default setup and a G27. 17th with no assists allowed, 13th with only steering wheels. The car is so much better it's not even funny. About twice as much grip, with the best acceleration and top speed too. WR probably took a much more optimized line through the first split, was probably also much more aggressive through the last one, but I'm less than a second off each through 2 & 3, which is probably setup/gears
Honestly, I wish the worldwide leaderboards in that game weren't quite so easy to get to. Running at that pace stresses me out yet I'm not really fast enough to actually challenge for a WR, especially in one of the faster classes. It'd be a lot more fun if I wasn't worrying about it
