I am not the fastest but have some ok pace for say about a 5th or so finish, but I stuff up always.Haha - Phil ur bloody fast, but I think u just get a head rush when racing with other people All I suggest is jumping onto pub servers (preferably with minorating on them) and just get ur close racing practice up...You def have the speed!! Just understanding what other drivers potentially are going to do and not being on the perfect raceline is certainly important to get that consistent finishing down.... When I stopped thinking "Days of Thunder plant it through the smoke and get though the crash without issue" and started to break and work my way around spins/crashes I started to do heaps better... go out on the grass if you can to avoid tangled up cars... but don't speed and get a pit lane penalty... Drop that 1-2second lap time if it saves you hitting a wall, into someone etc... gets u over the line in one piece and better for it... a damaged car will strip those times off you all day every day...and patience... patience is massive ramble ramble Logged Joe Hero Member Posts: 2368 Karma: 39 Re: Racing like a moron « Reply #2 on: January 20, 2016, 11:05:29 AM » Whatever Phil, you're one of the fast guys!

Usually. But I find overtaking really hard.

Save & review the replays - a couple of days later. Time helps to create a 'clean' unbiased view in one's head I reckon if you compare the inside & outside views, maybe other's views as well if there's one, you'll be able to memorise what not to do. But it's also about correctly guessing what the other can see, and will do, based on experience, and being able to hold back (I can't always do that either, hehe) Logged Gratulin Hero Member Posts: 2159 Karma: 44 Re: Racing like a moron « Reply #6 on: January 20, 2016, 12:16:23 PM » The hardest thing I found was racing at my own pace rather than getting sucked into trying to follow the pace of the faster cars around you - especially in the early laps.

Its all good practice the more you race amongst others the better you will get at it. Your not far off Phil, many of the other regulars Ive raced on my servers Ive noticed the more I race them the better they get. I know racing n others there has definatly improved my race craft quite a bit to where I will be pretty comfortable in any pack now.I did see Max Verstappen and Shane Van Gisbergan both say that practice racing in sims has greatly helped their real life race craft. Max even said most of the big passes he made in f1 last year he did all quite a few times in sims before those races.

Was good to see. Now the punt of Reynolds at Phillip Island... not so good to see...

Overall, thought the Giz made a bad move...

Seeing it only has a cornering advantage against other gt3 cars it shows why he needs to be a bit nuts at the top of the mountain.Not sure if he is deiving the 650s this year at bathurst but being with redbull he may end up partnering lowndes in a ferrari instead of the Quinn Mclarens.

Shane is racing hard, but he just makes bad decisions, can't keep a cool head. Phil, is that you?
