Hey guys, so I'm very new to "clean" racing and I just wanted to ask how did you start learning and what did you guys do when you were starting. Are there for example some game racing schools that are useful ? Thanks for the replies

As a very new member myself, the best thing you can do is mimic the sort of things the top drivers do. Staying 'clean' isn't difficult but getting fast whilst staying clean can be. It's a learning curve but practice makes perfect; enter into as many Weekday/Welcome to NoDo playlists as you can and you'll pick things up as you go.

I'd recommend racing a lot and maybe even watch F1? It's a great show to teach you how to race

Broughly123 has a series of video called "Racing School", it works for pretty much any racing games, you should check it out.

Yes the racing school videos on YouTube are helpful. I found the easiest thing to do is just jump in to playlists. I know it's obvious but honestly practice makes perfect. Don't worry about short shifting,brake boosting all that stuff. Just take it easy it's better to take corners slower than trying to fly through them and possibly causing a big pile up!

I'd definitely say from experience getting involved in weekly/daily playlists helps a lot with experience. Racing with a different cars all the time really helps with getting used to all sorts of racing incidents and scenarios. 'Hot lapping' and racing with randoms doesn't really help much at all. Just be patient and it will eventually click!

You'll learn different things from the various styles of racing, so it's up to you what you want to learn first. Though for the enjoyment of everyone racecraft and car control will help keep things tidy.
Racing with contact is the way you want to go to learn spatial awareness and racecraft, learning how to read other people's moves aswell as what moves are generally acceptable and how to deal with incidents.
Racing non-contact is good for watching and mimicking the lines of other people and can be the push some people need to find new driving techniques. Because there are no worries of ramming people you can just focus on driving at your own pace.
Hotlapping alone is my favorite way of practising with cars I'm not comfortable with driving and is a good way to measure personal improvement. Find a track, or even a handful few, that you like and save the laptimes you got with various cars. As you come back and do some hotlaps you should see the numbers going down over time, everything counts even if it's only half a second less than last time.
This is also the perfect time to mess about, figure out the quirks of cars. How much grip has it got? When does it lose control? How do you recover from loss of control? Things like these are risky to try out with other people as you may run the risk of hitting people when doing sudden and unpredictable moves.

A few tips I can give you: - Know the car you're driving: make sure you feel comfortable with the car you're racing with and that you know what it can / can't handle. - Know the track you're racing on: you're not going to be quick if you are racing a track for the first time, so I advise learning the track a little bit before-hand to know which corners you can take flat-out, where you need to break harder than normal etc. - General racing tips: make sure you know the general racing lines aswell as the breaking & accelerating points. knowing something about apexes, run-off areas and hairpins will also help you. - Copy other players: Its the most given advise and also the most useful, just see how other players take corners differently than you and try to copy them and see if its actually faster. watching F1 for example helped me also a lot since you get a knwledge of racing lines real quick Practise enough and youll quickly become better

try random races online with random players and just try to go fast as posible and dont let them hit you I wouldn't recommend that personally ;-; If you're racing online against randoms you're not practising the skills essential to race "properly" If you want to race properly (which we do in this community) it might be handy to know how to defend, and with defending I mean proper defending (not just weaving across a straight so no-one can get past you). You can't learn proper defending from randoms cause they'll just give you a slight tap at the rear-wheel and you're gone. Also, I wouldn't recommened practising lots on stunt tracks/circuits/races; most of the time they consist out of stunt roads which handle differently than normal roads (the normal roads that you drive around on on the map) and if you're talking about R* created races theres a high chance you'll be racing with catchup & slipstream enabled on mostly straights. If you want to practise racing properly you can practise with our crew during some of the weekly-playlists that are being hosted here for each platform. (or ofc all the things mentioned above in this thread)

I would recommend trying to follow someone closely. Try racing with someone 1 vs 1, follow them around turns without passing, just try to stay as close as you can. After you get the hang of controlling your speed so you don't hit them, then try passing without contact. First pass on straights, and then try it in turns. Keep in mind, often times if you wipe someone out, it messes you up too. Especially against a good driver. Unless you are intentionally using techniques like pit manuvers or ramming them when entering a turn, if it's accidental you are probably going to wipe yourself out too. It's never a good idea to try to win by being the most recklessly aggressive.

This might seem small to you, and it is, but it is game changing; Turning your camera towards the direction you will be facing as you turn is so helpful to know where you're going and help you gauge how much speed you can carry through turns without spinning out and causing a cluster of people on you.

Watch some F1 races, and try to play some F1 games as well. In those F1 games, if you dont race clean. u will get disqualified, or get your car damaged so u must go pit. F1 games are pretty fun for me btw hehe.

I feel like just remembering to give people space helps so much when it comes to clean racing. You often here the term "giving them a car's length" in racing, and it means to quite literally give your opponent enough space to fit another car between you. That doesn't mean accidents can't occur, but when they do they are just that.
