I started sim racing when GT5 came out. I really enjoyed it and have upgraded my equipement over time. I currently have a PlaySeat rig, with a Fanatec CSR-E wheel, CSP v2 pedals and two tactile units to add to the fun.
I am Level 40 in both A and B, I have golds on all 60 licenses and I have gotten gold on all of the Seasonal race events (I don't drift).
Over Christmas I speant a lot of time on the Lambo Seasonal finally getting Gold on the Ring. I really enjoyed working at finding the last couple of seconds to win. Not bad for a senior citizen who was getting ready to celebrate his 70th birthday in January.
The only events that were blocking me from going Platinum were the Eiger event on the Grand Tour and the three Vettel Challenges.
I had gone back to the Eiger event on numerous occassions and always came away frustrated because I was just a few tenths from getting gold but never could accomplish it.
I decided to adopt a more formalized approach to practice. I concluded that if I concentrated on improving my average times, and if I could drive my average times down.... sooner or later I would have to get gold. I concentrated not on the gold time but on getting faster little by little.
I worked on blocks of ten runs. I averaged the time each ten runs and focused on improving the average. It worked, after 20 blocks (200 runs I had reduced my average to 1:17579 and my best times were very close to the sub 1:17 I needed. On my 4th run of the 21 first block I finally got the gold with a 1:16.917. You can see a graph of the results in this attachment.View attachment GrandTour Eiger.pdf
