I detest every second I spend on this track. Am I alone?
Which leads me to my plea, help me see the light, what am I doing wrong?
I've been driving this thing since GT4 and I still have no idea where anything is, the track is really narrow, it's filled with corners that just throw me onto the grass and then it's all over. I spend more time crashing than I do in control, yet I managed to get all silvers in all of the special events for it.
I learned my way around Cape Ring (all versions) in about 5 laps. Monza took 3 laps to get down, but I've done hundreds of laps of the Nurburgring and I have no idea what I'm doing.
I'm thinking of taking a 100hp car around it until I can do a few laps without crashing then changing to one with 50 hp more. See if that helps.
Your Situation is very normal. Nurbergring is a track that extremely hard
to handle. Many real world pro driver also said this track is "Out of common sense" when compare to other road track.
So ,when you driving on this track, just forget what you've been learn from other , they're totally different.
I think you got a right idea, just starting form a low power car with a cheap low grip tire,
drive it easy to get comfort in it, let the whole track map burn on you brain,
then you can start to step deeper on the throttle , concentrate on the car motion, see what's the different when your speed being fast on every different kind of conner & every road section.
Note that the track surface are extremely complex , that's mean the weight distribution of the car are very unstable,
let say on a normal race track,most of the time you only need to think about the weight transfer on the front and rear , but on the ring, you must think it in 3-dimensional way.
To keep your car under control,
on normal track, you only need to think about the gas & brake to control the front-rear weight distribution of the car, but on the ring, you must think much more on the steering wheel,because you must control the left-right weight distribution at the same time, even on a straight road, so your hand must being more busy & sensitive.
And the last , keep practice with no fear~ then one day,you will fall in love with the ring deadly
