This may not be very interesting for most of you but I found it to be so. I was looking thru some old pics on my phone and come across a lap time I did with a zentorno on one track LancerEvoWRC created (rockford hills circuit from broughy 5) which at the time was quick for me and from racing with you guys so much even tho I dont always do well im obviously progressing quite alot certainly alot more than I thought because a few days ago I got to go round it within a sec of that time about .700 I beleive in a Sultan which I think is a fairly good feat this makes me wonder what could I now do on that track in a zentorno? ? ? ? Testing time me thinks So thanks to you guys you have unknowingly made me improve lol Sorry for long winded post and thanks for sticking with me if you did lol. |

I also feel like I've improved thanks to this crew. Mainly it's about practice but also you lot have given me a bit of extra knowledge regarding braking points and lines simply by observing you race, which is easy because you're always in front LOL
But yeah, compared to how I used to drive I feel I'm much better. Still a long way to go though to reach some of you, but thanks.

I have improved too. Some races I can hold a candle to some really good racers, but others I will be like 40 seconds off. My consistency blows unless I am on a track I play a lot. Need to work on not being so twitchy.

When I joined the crew a couple weeks ago I didn't know what a racing line was. I've improved so much already by just observing and racing with skilled drivers, it's insane. So yeah, thanks everyone.

I feel my improvements more through my technique than lap times, I try not to focus on it, but when ever I practice I do aim for a certain lap time and try to emulate it in the following laps
The way I take a corner matters more to me than lap times
And that gets better I noticed through 3 certain ways
Racing against similiarly skilled opponents in similarly good cars:
-When it's close and you see that guy infront of you you just drive and copy until you can see the weakness and improve it
-Or to stay ahead you take risks that work out and remember it enough to reapply them in other scenarios
Racing in a difficult to handle car:
I.e. Dominator
That thing is a handful but I am definitely working more on my technique in this than just relying on speed and lines
I did that, looked at my lap time on one of my practice tracks I hadn't raced in a while and my lap times were reduced by 2-4 seconds solidly compared to my usual before joining nodo

Can you explain your username and avatar to me please Spain is just a nickname I've had since highschool, I'm not from there. As for the avatar, I don't remember where I found it but I really lIke it. The stars on the flag are surveillance cameras and the stripes are being peaked through like blinds. |

The combination of your nickname and avatar was kind of unsettling me. But I know what my next phone background will be if I can find the original of your avatar! |

I've got it set up on my phone to pop up after 2 incorrect pass codes are entered in a row. |
