I got a 1:44.6 after ten laps. Still on test drive, so no ghost. I usually chase my ghost and gain another second or two, so your 1:41/1:42 sounds right.
I'm up at 5.0 final drive though, everyone remembers we have a 6th gear, right?
Manual makes a huge difference. Shoot I think I still have TCS on too, that might help me in such a low powered car.

I guess I'll have to learn how to drive a manual. What buttons do you guys use for shifting with a controller?

I ran a few laps yesterday in the Fiesta running manual w/clutch and pulled an average of 1:46 and I think one 1:44... ish. I haven't had time to mess with the transmission yet, but I know some adjustment will definitely bring my times down. I agree with the comment about the suggested brake lines - they're pretty silly.
I use B/X and the LB for the clutch. Everyone keeps talking about using A as the clutch, but I just can't see that working for me. Perhaps its worth a shot though.

I don't know, do you move the shifter in your car before depressing the clutch? If it's grinding, you've released the clutch before you press the shift button.
To be honest, I didn't use it because it's too hard. Literally, if I don't press the button hard enough, it doesn't shift or activate the clutch.

Well that was fun, even for the low turn-out we had. The new guys picked up on it quick and we only had to restart once! I've uploaded the replay to my storefront if anyone would like to watch it. On to the results....
