So after today I found out my problem besides track knowledge and hairpins, which I knew about. It's stress. I mean in a few races I could keep pace with the front pack and then I would just stress out that I'd make a mistake and I actually started to either drive slower because of that or loose concentration and crash Any advice? :| Feel comfortable with yourself. We're not your enemies, we're crewmates you're racing for fun with. Besides that practice and whatever wisdom you get from other people :P |

Yeah that is my problem. I am getting better, at least I see it but I'm so far off still that I lack that midpack confidence. And yet this bloody game always puts me at the front of the starting grid in races. I might need to race with @hiberg more as his playlist is at least less crowded so my crashes won't cause havoc Other than that .fiyah you actually have a unique opportunity to punch me in the face in real life if I screw up (depending on from where in Poland you hail) so I'm terrified  |

I mean in a few races I could keep pace with the front pack and then I would just stress out that I'd make a mistake and I actually started to either drive slower because of that or loose concentration and crash Any advice?  As with most of us when first starting we have issues with learning to be consistent, confidence in our own ability, and doing our best to avoid getting into others incidents. I personally still do not have the speed as the others on some tracks, but that will come with time on those tracks, practice makes you better. Personally at the starts of races when starting at the back, I have taught myself to be patient the first few corners and take it easy. Another huge thing for myself was to stop focusing on the inside barriers. I instead focus on where I want the car to be in relation to the turn. Basically focus on the spot where you want the middle of the car to be located in relation to the apex of the corner. You will find yourself making less mistakes when you think this way. Lastly braking points... Everyone has their own opinion on when where and how much braking to apply. Just learn what seems to work best for you and look for your own braking points. In the end, all of us just want to enjoy racing and have a little fun. Lol just like yesterday when we did a cannonball run. Honestly enjoy just getting to game with others. |

On a work laptop now that isn't that bad (i5-4210 and R5 230M 1GB) but tried playing gta, even spectated for a moment today and all i got was tearing and stutter and graphic lag. Might be awhile before you see me again |

Hi, I would like to apologize to Vixtro, you seemed very in anger on me  , it was not my intention to ruin your race, I thought to have made the right move but apparently that was not, so i'm sorry for that and i hope you will understand.  |

Nope, just be online at 6pm GMT, or better yet beforehand, make sure you have NoDo set as your active crew, and hopefully if GTAO is working properly you should get an invite.
