I bought this finally! it is awesome/ incredibly annoying

some tracks seem mega easy and others are ridiculously hard! I just did the 4th track and no matter what I did i couldnt get close to the pole time- like over a second or 2 behind?? Not sure whether it's because there were a lot of straights and my car seems slower than the others but it was incredibly frustrating

Then I do the 5th one and qualify in 2nd
I have it on intermediate so not overly easy

Anyway it's cool and good fun but does anyone else get occasional 'freezes' for like a second then it carries on as normal? It's incredibly annoying, especially when you are taking a corner
