Alright well, it only took a day for the usual ******** to resume on Daily Race B. I witnessed the worst behaviour I have ever seen in a single lobby in this game, but I somehow managed to avoid falling victim and went from 8th to 3rd. Another race I started in 4th and had a close battle with the car in front of me, but I was avoiding any bold moves because it's just not how I drive. Finally, he makes a mistake in the chicane, I go up the inside alongside him on the final turn, they either have no idea I'm there or just don't understand how these things work, because I took the tightest possible inside line I could, and they turn right into me and bounce back to the outside. So I spend the next two laps just driving defensively, and they constantly tap me from behind because they're impatient. Again, at the hairpin at the bottom of the hill, I take the inside as tight as I can, they slam into me from the outside line. Going into the final lap, I allow them to take the inside line into Turn 1, just to give them to opportunity to get away if they have a bit more pace than me, and of course, they go too deep into the corner and I cut back and end up finishing in 3rd.
Afterwards they say "oh boy" because that was clearly all my fault. I'm not an aggressive driver. If someone is legitimately (cleanly) outpacing me I try to let them through. I could have been aggressively attacking that person in the first half of the race when I was the one behind. But I waited for a mistake because otherwise I would have had to divebomb them to get through. And it's frustrating that someone who is a relatively good driver doesn't even realize how much buffer I was giving them, and once they made the mistake and I took the opportunity that it was somehow a personal offense, then they got so impatient that they tried passing on the outside of tight corners and going too hot into the hairpin. But afterwards they still thought I was to blame.
I'm sorry for getting the wrong end of the stick!
I’ve got literally the exact same lap(5.535), I didn’t use 1st anywhere. I don’t even think used 4th gear. Trail braking is the key though, and waiting to shift down as long as possible seems to help quite a bit as well. Also make sure to ease back o to the throttle on exits so minimize wheel spin. 
( when did the 911 stop being the nurb GP go to? ) requires such a gentle touch at times it just feels like your not pushing hard enough. Tempted to try the supra at some point.
. By the end of the second lap it was 30 mins
