Message: [QUOTE="chuyler1, post: 9633786, member: 16962"] Regarding [URL='https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J_t4vOol8qs']my video[/URL]. Yeah, that's kind of why I posted it. You guys may see the D1 drivers on practice nights driving around at cruising speed but when everyone races at the limit we all dump it in the sand eventually. I'm off the throttle because I just can't get the car to turn or my brake finesse is too crude to get the car to slow down at the same rate so I brake earlier. I think I've raced with you guys enough that you can pretty much anticipate I'm going to brake a little earlier. Anyway, if you have some tips on Turns 5 and 10 at Tokyo and Turns 7 through 10 at Grand Valley I'd appreciate it. I was consistently slow through these sections and couldn't figure out a faster line without running off the track or hitting a wall...so when around others I'd just play it safe and maintain a pace I knew I could hold the line with. A little rubbing is racing, especially at slow speeds on narrow tracks. Pushing and leaning is a different story. I posted all my interactions with other drivers Sunday to show the following... 1) Everyone makes mistakes...well, almost everyone. 2) Everyone makes contact. I was taken out...but I also took someone else out. I shouldn't bitch. 3) A little contact at slow speed can add to the excitement, as long as no one is leaning on each other. 4) The D1 drivers are mad fast and even when I hit apexes I can still get passed like I'm standing still! 5) Going 2 wide through several corners is in fact possible, and can be very exciting into one of the drivers gives in. 6) Sometimes it is better to lift off and get in line than to force a losing battle. I think if I have time I may start to do race recaps of D1 and just focus on the front runners. I wish the FF/RWD on the replay worked better. I hate missing a pass and having to backup half a lap to catch it. [/QUOTE]
