ok this is a bit late now but whateva :P
In my league(sim-challenge), with no helps at all, the pole at Imola was me, I did 1:15:8 and some drivers who were behind me did 1:15:8 and 1:15:9 too, it was close!
for the race I did 3 stops with 1:17:6 for fastest lap and finished second ,I think the fastest lap on the race was 1:17:4 or something like it.
how can we do such times ? bit of time to test ,a very good base setup and of course, know the track like the back of your hand
