I don’t understand why some people encounter hackers so much and I so rarely see them. Don’t get me wrong, I’ve certainly raced the odd hacker, but it’s extremely rare for me.

I race OMP a lot. I go over 1000 points every single week. If I enjoy the car then I can get over 1200 without too much trouble. I don’t say this to brag, I say this to make the point that I race a lot and race against a lot of different people.

I see the odd flying car and other such things. I find when I ignore them and just race my race I do well. There’s the odd time that I think I’m racing against a hacker but, usually they are not very good. The car will surge back-and-forth, hit walls etc. When I ignore it I still get first or second place.

There’s a handful of tracks that I am very good at so I focus my efforts there. I’ve been trying to tackle more tracks in the past months. It encourages me to get better across the game.

If I really want to have a good run in a given week then I practice. I take the cars out on my better tracks and familiarize myself with braking points, acceleration points, race lines, etc. When OMP first starts I don’t do that with just 500 points. I’ll go out there and do bad on a few races and just learn as I go. But if I’m over 1000 points I will go and practice tracks rather than risk losing a couple of hundred points.
