Get out of your own head.
Its very, very easy to take corners the same way every time, to decide that it's the optimal way and that the issue is something else.
Watch some replays (not one, but many) and see what the quicker racers do different to you and each other. Something as simple as turning in earlier and taking more curb can often increase (or decrease) the end result/time hugely.
If what you're doing right now isn't working, try doing something else.

You right. Only thing I've noticed is that most tutorials i've seen is people using steering wheel not controller.
But im trying to match as much as I can. I'll get it eventually

Are you using any assists? Typically I run TCS 2 but at times will go down to 1 or off completely depending on the car. This particular CE was one I had a ton of difficulty with, this one, Spa, and Laguna were the bane of my existence until I was finally able to get them after the countless times Sarah told me “Good work!” after running off track at the first corner
I think Dragontrail was the track that made me switch from AT to MT. I got the game in December and before then hadn’t played any games for a good 3 or 4 years, I used MT in GTS but eased back in with GT7, but I notice my lap times are significantly faster using MT. I feel I have a better control of the car, especially coming out of corners using MT over AT.
Watch the demo and look for landmarks that the demo uses for braking and try to keep a mental note of what gear they stay in through certain corners. A corner you’re taking in 2nd might be faster if you take it in 3rd.
Finally, one thing I’m guilty of is paying too much attention to either the demo ghost or my own personal ghost. I’m rarely ever ahead of the demo ghost so it’s not as distracting, but at times I find myself paying too much attention to where my personal best ghost is at and next thing I know I’ve run into a wall. I mapped R3 to toggle the ghost during the lap so I can turn it off and just focus on driving, then in straights I may toggle it on to see how that attempt is going along, but even doing it then has cost me at times. Sometimes it’s best just to ignore your personal best, especially if it already wasn’t fast enough, put that attention into finding how to make the next one faster.
