Is anyone else having issues with the Bathurst Autocross event in the new Grip Fiends challenge (8 > G-Force Showdown), or is it simply a case that I am a terribly slow driver.

I am getting times of 35 seconds to compete against, but all I can manage are 48's on my fully upgraded BMW M3 GT2 ALMS.  I can only get to the top of the "Esses" in 35 seconds.

If it is just me, any tips on getting an extra 13 seconds out of my car? I do admit that I am still using low assists.
