I was headed to the last corner with a 0.25 lead on my ghost. I tried to be a pinch conservative and was too conservative. I finished 359th.

Twice I had a 0.4 lead on my ghost after the 2nd hairpin... and my finger slid off the accelerator. 10+ times I arrived at the last chicane with a 0.25 lead, only to lose 0.4 because I wrecked that corner. That taught me that I needed to relax more, not make silly errors!

After about 8 hours of much effort I was able to consistently get in the low 58's. That is an accomplishment for me. I placed very well at one of my worst tracks. Out of about 308,000 people who raced, I did just fine.

So for all those who fell short of their goal, success is sometimes where you find it. Look on the bright side.

Well, I think the key is to try to take each single turn as fast as you can no matter how much lead you got on your ghost, without caring one single bit whether you're gonna actually make it. "If it's gonna happen it's gonna happen. If it's not gonna happen it's not gonna happen" is the right attitude I think. The moment you try to be a bit conservative in a turn you blow your run at the "miracle run" lol

Since I play on an emulator (Leapdroid) with my mouse on Wheel Control, I have no choice but to use High Steering Assist otherwise the car just doesn't take some sharp turns even though my steering sensitivity is at 10. Therefore I have a shot at Group A only in Melbourne, Hong Kong and New York where No Steering Assist Tilt B Tablet guys can't go off track to set better times. Even then, I find it too much work. Trying to push every single turn harder and harder and harder for hours and hours and hours to finally nail the "miracle" run is not for me. I don't have the time for that.

I enjoy OMP much better. People can't push every single turn for a full week there. It's much more balanced and realistic. You screw a single turn while trying to push it too hard and you're screwed there :D Skill is way more important in OMP as you have one single shot at a race each single time, as opposed several hundreds of shots people give at a single race in WTTT. I can hit top 100 in OMP every single time in a 2-hour session while totally having fun along the way. But I would need at least several hours to hit top 100 in WTTT last week while getting extremely bored doing it.
