You should be able to, double check the controller option and calibration in
windows and then again in GPL. As for lap times, practice, occasionally use
the faster car for a while and then move back to a slower car, after
switching back and forth you will be faster and eventually move up. The fast
guys are doing 3:15 - 3:20 at Spa.
