I love RF2. It feels so car-like to me vs ACC. However, I do a lot of racing against the AI and have noticed that they really do have a pace advantage. In the Class One M4, they just walk away from me on the straights. In the GT3's it seems a bit closer.

Not to be "that guy", but is your steering ratio off by a bit? It looks like you're getting significantly more in-game rotation relative to your IRL wheel. It's probably making it more difficult (which must only be a testament to your driving prowess).
