Do you think driving an actual race car is easy?
It just takes a LOT of practice. It took me nearly 2 months of continuous practice to race well. And YES it is possible to qualify on the pole. The only two tracks I can do that at are Silverstone and Watkins Glen. Both courses I have broken the track records, but again, this took almost 2 months of racing nearly everyday for 20-30 minutes! I prefer the Lotus chassis and I actually don't work with the setup any. Just drop the gas down for about 8 laps or so and go out and make some flyer laps...have fun!
