My Racing Rehearsal

[CAG_Theory]

This applies to my in-deep cognitive approach both on real life and in gran turismo simulator.​

Phase 1: I am preparing for the start of the race.
Phase 2: I am feeling energised, confident and ready to race.
Phase 3: Focus on light and Turn 1. Deep breathe, thinking of exploding into eternity when lights go out.
Phase 4: Picture my route into turn 1 as if i own it.
Phase 5: Talk my way, No awareness of competitors.
Phase 6: I focus on the green lights to the first corner and i see a corridor open only to me,
Phase 7:My competitors around me do not exist: it just myself and my bowling buddies(me) against the track.
Phase 8: After the warning i get my hands,foot and head into position in readiness for lights to go out.
Phase 9: I position my left foot firmly on the floor and hold the car then grip the steering wheel purposefully.
Phase 10: After the warning, I blip the throttle and rev the engine. My body weight is far forward and my heart rate increases but this inpires my confidence(My adrenalin kicking in)
Final Phase: I am getting drive towards turn 1 and i am firing down my mental corridor, No once can touch me and the racing line is mine. I OWN IT!

I found this pretty much to be how it was when I first started the game.

One little mess up and Im ****ed.

Not quite. You can definately lose the race on turn one, if you get caught up in the melee that often occurs

I reckon you can win it much later on though. In fact, you could say that the race is only won when its won
