I don't believe you have to be the best to have fun.

I drive the Ferrari and use the default setups (with less fuel)
for all the tracks except Monza.  They say Monza responds
better to tweaking because the road is flat, not crowned like
Watkins Glen for example.  My best at the Glen is 1:07.44
I believe.

I'm usually in the top 1-10 when racing and enjoy competition
for 3rd as much as 7th.  Slowly I'm getting faster with watching
for new lines and shift points.  I figure the tweaking will come
after I can run 5 or more consistant laps.
