I used to be GrpB (100) each week, but since they changed the WTTT format I'm not doing so well (and hence not topping up my reserves).

I don't know how you guys are so fast - you stick to the tarmac as if it was glue around those corners! I skid all the time. Even braking a bit earlier doesn't help as putting the power down I skid and I see the ghost disappear into the distance. I've noticed a general trend that I'm getting worse at this and can't seem to improve which leads out to frustration (I've even thrown my phone across the room before now!).

Few advices from my humble experience:

If you are switching between SA on/off try do your best run with SA low then try to catch that time with SA off. My time is with SA low, and still can not win it without SA, after few months of playing with SA off. So I always play with my best weapons, then try to catch with weaker.

Skidding happens because off too much speed while turning, so basically your speed or/and your line is bad. For me repeat gets me to it. Usually the line is bad, to much straight, while it should be like skiing more curvy with right speed along with it.

While following a ghost, your primary focus should be on the track, breaking points and edges of curves, not on the ghost, because you might easly make a mistake and try to catch a ghost...and crash...and loose nervs. Ghost is for orientation where you can be faster.

Repeat, repeat, repeat. I usually have motivation and can see my score improve while I invest 1,5-3 hours into playing.

FOCUS AND ATTACK THAT TRACK!
