I must've made at least 100.000 cr. on this one track, getting pure 6th and 7th positions with default driving settings. I then turned Active Stability Management off, and set Traction control to 0 (off). This makes the car only slightly more difficult to handle, but quite a bit faster. First 2 attempts after that, I scored an easy 3rd position, despite slamming into practically everything and everyone along the way. Now to perfect the driving style, using these settings. :)
