Yeah I was going to suggest the patch may have something to do with the timer issue. I generally only patch games if it resolves an issue I'm having. If it ain't broke it don't need fixing.
Anyway give me a few minute's to upload my settings. A little teasing is good for the soul you know.

As promised here are my settings. The vid I recorded used these settings. (On the subject of my vid when I watch it the sound is out of sync, is this the same for you?)
See how you go with these...

I'm using a x360 controller so a wheel isn't a necessity for top times. Just try NOT to steer too aggressively, slight, smooth movement on the controller is key.
If your having trouble with a particular corner I'll try an explain how I approach said corner as best I can if you think it may help.
Give it a quite a few laps to get dialled-in to how the car handles with these settings.
Enough with me yapping... NOW go and beat my time..
Good luck everybody

i've mastered 8/10 corners on this track, i'm struggling with corners 2 and 3, i'm getting constant 1.32's now though, but i lose concentration for at least 1 corner every lap so i know i can beat 1.30, i just need to hold my concentration longer, eg. i had a 1.32.6 lap, then on the next lap, by the first sector i was a second quicker then went and cocked it up on sector 2 
Downforce setting is the last pic on my previous post. 46 front 46 rear.
There should be a total of 11 pics in my post.

T-2 you can break quite late. When the racing line turns red break hard about one car length into the red whilst dropping to 2nd gear then ease of the brake whilst turning into the apex. Try not to ride the apex, sort of kiss it if you know what I mean. When the racing line starts to turn green you'll be inclined to floor the throttle DON'T. Ease on the gas letting the car ease out to the outside on the exit of the corner first and when you can see the next corner T-3 apply gas fully.
T-3 looks relatively simple and can be if your exit from T-2 is good. After a good exit of T-2 you should be heading for the right hand side of the track (little if any repositioning of the car should be required} for T-3 approach. Keep in 3rd gear and brake on the yellow {just before red} and once again kiss the apex. Accelerate out the corner still in 3rd changing up to 4th just before the breaking point of T-4.
As a general rule being a LHD car I keep the racing line slightly to the right of centre in cockpit view. Think of it as if the inside track of the right hand side tyres are running along the racing line.
I hope that makes sense. It does in my head LOL
Oh I see. I haven't tried online yet, having too much fun here.
Is the online any good? I just assumed it would be more akin to destruction derby than clean racing.
Sorted
Nikaz - really appretiate you sharing those settings, first proper lap saw a second chopped off, car is more unstable but much better now. Now to see if I have a chance pulling under the 30's

No problem mate
When you say unstable is that riding the kerbs or in general?
I try avoiding the kerbs. (Not always possible I know)
General: You could try increasing the ride height slightly & softening the suspension. You'll compromise rear traction a little but it may suit better
With your setting i'm finding it easier to pull the back out to direct me. My settings had also nmade the mistake of trusting the ea forums when they said downforce was broken - it definitely isn't and yours worked very nicely
Thanks to your settings i'm in the sub 1.30
SO it's pulled 4 seconds off mine
