Have not driven it yet, so no comment on how realistic it feels for me. But in reality it was a horible car.
Like you said, barely could keep up, I would even say it couldn't. It was just a bad car altogether, not only handling, but also it broke down almost more often than finish a race. So maybe it is realistic, if it really drives badly. Just kidding before someone attacks me, as said did not drive it yet.
