They have a rallycross track

I can't convince the wife that I need one of those

 

Yeah - and an autocross track too! Need to unlock the game to do that one though.

Ok so I've been playing a lot this weekend and learning a lot too. I've been racing in the FWD hatch group and have gotten decent and was able to run 1:38 with the following setup. It handles significanly better than the default setup. I find it very easy to drive and also won't lock the front wheels so you can lay on the brakes full into the turn. The key with this car is to do all your braking before the turn and just baby the accelerator through the turn then hammer it on the straights. Pretty standard stuff actually.

Also another tip -- when racing, press the number 4 on your keyboard and it will show you the racing line with the braking points. Nice learning tool!
