TO ME!
In my intro I said I wasn't the best racer there is. I thought I was at least a reasonable racer, until I raced NoDo for the first time yesterday. On a fairly short, 5 lap race (Vinewood ring) I wasn't even eating dust because it had settled allready.
30+ sec gap to the pack! Is it me that sucks that much, or is the rest that good? Guess a combination of both haha! In my defense I've never raced that track before, but still. Felt like driving a tractor disguised as an Entity. I've got a LOT of practicing to do!
Still had a good time trying at least to keep up. For those concerned: Thanks guys!

Knowing a track gives you more opportunity to keep driving consistently (thus without crashing). Driving consistently enables you to work on your pace, take that one corner better every time and lower your lap times. Consistency is key! Keep calm, be patient and most of all, keep racing. You will find yourself race at a competative level in no time!

I think just about everyone who joins NoDo thinks they are better than they are and then after their first race generally people think they are MUCH worse than they are.
Unless you are coming from another racing crew(or play a lot of racing games) the expectation should be last place and probably DNFing when you first join NoDo.

Thnx for reminding me (but I'm not even lying when I tell you I don't welcome people for the post-count, but genuinly want to welcome the to the crew like I was welcomed back when I just joined. I try to give everybody a personal welcome and am not copy/pasting my messages)
