heh the top C class are mid-late 1:02s at the moment, and while I may be using a wheel to get that 1:03 time, most if not all of those at the VERY top are using a pad. This is something that has been pointed out before, although I'm not going to go back to pad since I'd lose the fun and immersion
As for tips, I recommend here:

Particurlarly this post, written by someone who has many top times including a 1:02 in C class:
I have posted this message in Forza Central to help out a fellow racer. He asked about the Corvette Z06 and how to get it into the 56's or 57's. This explanation will work on all the cars all classes.
If you want to run fast times, use manual transmission, ABS = ON, TCS = OFF, STM = OFF.
I hope this helps you guys.

"I can't make a video but I'll try give you some pointers. I have ran a 56.419, with the corvette. Same assists that you use.
Never go into 2nd gear around any corners, 3rd is better. 1st corner right leave in 3rd gear, brake hard for the turn on the left hand side and turn and brake a little at the same time. Out of the 1st corner try and stay close to the kerb, hold the throttle around half for no wheelspin. There is little bump out of the corner once you pass it put full throttle and it should not spin.
Next corner the left hander leave in 3rd gear enter out wide and cut in so your 2 left tyres hit the kerb but never the grass. Try hit the kerb on the left and stay on the left as much as you can. Do not touch the brakes for the next corner at all. Let go of the throttle completely steady the car hit the inside kerb with the 2 right tyres and then put 3/4 throttle and try use the kerb on the left to straighten.
The next is the left and right S Bend, leave in 3rd gear Again enter the corner wide and cut in over the kerb. Half your car should be able to go over the kerb don't touch the grass, push the throttle for a fraction of a second. Once again let go of the throttle. Control the body roll, hit inside kerb again and accelerate to outside kerb.
Next corner the fast right hander take it in 4th gear. Do not let the car slide slow down enough, so you can have full throttle around the turn without hitting the grass.
The last corner Leave in 3rd gear try stay to the left without touching the grass. Cut it in early as close as you can do the grass, hold the throttle steadily all the way around the corner. The car will feel like its jolting around the corner you have to control the throttle and aim for the outside but don't touch the grass, and accelerate to the finish line.
Once you master this course you can run fast in every car.
I know a video is better so you can see it, But I hope I made some sende.
I can run 56.6 or 56.7 every time with the Z06. My best is 56.419"
This explanation is for A Class, Corvette Z06.
But even in C Class you should never have to go to 2nd gear. I have ran a 1.02.813 in The Fairlady and I take all the corners in 3rd or 4th gear. You never have to go to 2nd gear in any car. Hope this helps some of you guys. Peace out.
Your final question - yes the fastest time will be displayed at the end of the race for all competitors, so you will see the overall fastest.
