Qualifying simulation in carrer mode

Is it just me or is the time you need to hit to get a "perfect" qualifying in the training pretty difficult this year?
Im driving with Williams and I find in pretty hard to hit the time they want to see from u. In the "real" qualifying Im in the 10-15 place most often, while I cant even hit place 17 in the trainings lol.

I'm in a Williams too, I cant even hit 19th in qualifying yet alone 15th :(. I don't know if its me or the car but i'm finishing well in races.

The time is based off of AI difficulty, so if you are trying to hit the times then lower the difficulty then raise it for the race :)

Yea I thought it would have something to do with the AI difficulty. But I dont really mind, its more fun when its hard haha.

Well the AI in a race is always slower than in the quali. It was the same last year. For me I got alot better times because I disabled ABS and set the traction control to medium.
I play with controller and its kinda hard in the beginning, but when u got it down it not only feels faster but is faster.
Because of the ABS you need to break earlier since your wheels dont lock while the traction control on "full" steals you sooo much time since the game limits the power of your vehicle so you dont spin.
IDK if u read this or if it helps you, but maybe you can place better when you not used these settings before! :) @SmokeMeAKipper
