I use the bumper cam, i always have since playing the first GT.
I just finished my new player time trial it was exciting to actually race for something that actually matters for the first time. I have never raced without a driving line on, that was interesting. It was actually more fun, because you get to experiment with your own driving line and not be held to the line. I didn't quite know when to brake but after a couple laps I noticed those numbers on the side of the road and that made all the difference.
...almost sounds like you've learned that from somewhere...Those brake markers will be very important for consistency. Use those to consistently brake at the same spot every lap. if there are no markers, find a stationary object or place nearby that can be used as a brake marker, whether its a curb, a change in color on the track surface, or a tree. Do not use shadows, as shadows do not stay put.

I use the hood cam (or sometimes it's a roof cam, like the Viper this week) It gives you a good view of the road and makes it easier to see around traffic. (Roof cams make it a bit too easy to see over traffic...)I'm new to league racing and was wondering what view do most people use to race. I use the view where you can't see any part of the car, just the meters.
When learning a new track or a new car at a track, a good beginning reference for the braking point is when the suggested gear starts blinking. The red number will pop up and eventually start to blink, it will be quite early, but you at least won't go off track following that and you can gradually find a better brake marker.I just finished my new player time trial it was exciting to actually race for something that actually matters for the first time.

Thanks for the banners! The lineup post has been updated! I'm especially proud of myself for doing it entirely from my phone hahaBeing able to swap which side the text is on helps a lot. It does end up eliminating some pictures that can be used, because of the cars placement in the photo, but generally, it allows for more freedom when taking pics, and applying them. I've had a tough time picking photos some weeks!
On that note, here are the banners! Enjoy this high performance weekend with plenty of speed. Each track has very long straights to get absolutely loads of speed! @zer05ive
