There are a few things you can try to see if it helps. Your wheel is a 900 degree wheel. The microsoft wheel is a 270 degree wheel and can't be changed.
I know they say forza supports 900 but I think setting your Fanatec wheel to 270 degrees allows you to respond quicker. I belive setting it to off on Fanatec wheel menu will mean the game will default it to 270.
Next is changing the force feed back, some times to much will make you over react to the car at least it does for me The Fanatec is way too strong and I like a light wheel. I change the ffb to 60% in the game menu. Also the vibration rumble can throw off your senses. I also turn this down so I can feel the car ffb rather then have a bunch of constant road rumble.
Last, if you have the fanatec pedals that have a sensitivity ****. Turn on telemetry while driving and make sure your brake is set properly if your pushing really hard, it should lock the brakes but if you see in telemetry that the brakes are only 3/4 pushed you need to increase the sensitivity.

Think I have to go with a non race car to even keep up the the ZR1 (which is way easier to drive fast and consistent)

Just so you know, in practice a while back I ran 2:07.462 with the '05 RSR and 2:06.136 with the 997SC.....This was going to be the last race for the 997 !

Hey guys,
Not sure what happened there. Suddenly I was racing alone. Connection problem?
I ran 14 out of 25 laps and managed a clean 1.54.909, then the boy woke up and I had to stop. I guess that's a DNF for me...
Too bad, I was really liking this track...

Ah that is to bad. I ran a 1:51.9 in practise but without any competition I just took it easy in the race and went in for numerous pit stops and practise some drifting.

I just came back from my girlfriend's place. It was too comfortable to get up early and come back home for the race ! The series is yours Greg ! Maybe I'll do a couple more....we'll see.
Yesterday I ran the first round of the ForzaLeMans.net series at Sebring - 3 hours ! I finished 2nd in GT3/GTC with the #23 Cup under Flying Lizards colors out of 7 cars in class and 35 cars overall. The winner is a true alien (Perfect English) driving the #62 458 with specific restrictions. We were the only cars on the same lap. That was very demanding, as you could imagine...
