Gosh, more times i have pissed you off Sirebel??:)

But you know, thinking about it, how do you "teach" or give tips? People race with all sorts of different settings, assists, upgrade levels, devices.. There is no magic formula except the "lines" all the cars have to take on each track, to achieve optimal speed.. That never changes.. And you have to experiment and adopt to that, car by car..

And i have found the big guns dont really share tips or infos, havent seen any.. On one hand i get that, as it's a lot of repetitive attempts and work to nail a great run.. Im a reluctant Team A performer, i know i can do it, but my dedication/desire/age all play agains that.. And the handful at the top i have no chances to consistantly keep up with.. So although i do like to share and in that hopefully encourage few to better themselves, it is hard.. I remember John asked me to do LeMans just a bit slower than his ghost in wttt, so i did, thinking i did a great job as i was patiently only few secs faster so he could work on 'catching me'.. But he said after first chicane i was "gone" and he couldnt work out how to keep up, despite me even putting pics of how i think i do it..

Your page is a good opening gambit to those wanting to go no assists and start on the road of improving, but there are simply things people will not get, old hands like me even:) EG. This weeks Silverstone in F12, i have absolutely no idea how top guys take them last two corners.. Cant work it out, and so far never could:) So there are these brick walls people will face, and i hope it will be knocked down for me one day and i will learn it.. I can pretty much keep up with RaduTan all the way till there, and then game over.. Part of life, at least for now..

Perhaps i will do a new topic on this weeks wttt Silverstone, just first two corners, see if anyone cares for it and improves even.. That is what one needs to do, improve corner by corner, by hard work..

But one golden rule i would always emphasise is always "go wide as far as possible before taking a corner".. Without putting wheels on grass!! (that will ruin braking distance)
