I am knew at this too as far as the the lap times it's got a lot to do with your skills. There are things you got to understand., it does not matter how much skill you got if your car is not set up right you're not going to hit those lap times over and over more than likely you will be wrecking over and over. And that will get you ban or punished for being a lagger. I paid for my license thinking this was just a game ( you know the kind you have fun playing ) with-in a week I was put on the ban list for wrecking to much or someone does not like being passed you can get voted off by one person? Before you invest your money do the research on car set-up's because you just might be paying for a license and find yourself watching everybody else enjoy there selves racing! These people take their racing serious and if your not leading your in the way and they will move you. But that a hole difference post. Enjoy? Once you got the right set-up for your car this game can be a blast (if not) your one skid away from being ban.
