Sean, that tintop video was done off season, i still build tracks and i have to test them with all kinds of cars in all weathers. I just use same track with F3000 to warm up for F3000....
If my times would improve by going hundreds of laps, i've be multiple times champion by now. If times wont change, one has to think what is wrong and that is a process that just simply does not improve by doing things like one always has done. If i couldn't try different things, i might as well stop racing. There would be zero point to continue, my laptimes haven't changed since the start, rather i've taken steps back. Biggest reason to skip one season was exactly that, there was no point doing that one, most likely Race and all other sims would've been uninstalled, wheel bolted off and firmly in closet. If there was nothing wrong with my driving, i would be at the top, right? And i don't know what is wrong., i have to find it, basically the only reason i continue this futile attempt.
In PrestoGP i've understood the importance of getting a good exit. I get there with lower apex speeds and sacrificing entry. I take very little risks: tail slides once per lap is too much. I can do faster times but i wont last half a lap, this F3000 really starts to side at some point when i get closer to competetitive laptimes.. This risk is about 2 seconds per lap. Noticed this with a lot of series, you can go faster but it's soo risky, car needs to be at the limit of losing control and this is pretty obvious.. Not to mention my concentration wasn't build up for that, no way i can do qualy 110% laps all the time. Once you get comfrtable of doing those laps then it's different, i guess. I'm not going to kid myself, the road is long and no amount of laps will help me if i don't find that fundamental flaw first. With F1 this was worse, everything happened soo fast that i was completely lost, F3000 at least gives time to think.
