When are you faster?

[Ben Everard]

I have only had the game a few days now, and have spent a lot of my time on 'Nordschleife', I have noticed I seem to go faster if I am trying to keep / catch up with someone?

What do you guys prefer? A chase, or an open road?

:chuck:

So i love the new superpole thingy.

Superpole is great! I often drive a faster time in a superpole than in a couple off hours practicing (not always ofcourse). Bit weird. :thinking:

 

[Luke Chard-Maple]

when battling im slowest due to nature of lines etc but i dont rel notiv#ce any lap time difference when chasing or with clear track!

 

[Opposition]

I seem to be more consistent on my own, but I will always get a faster lap time racing.

 

[Sean Vohs]

If I'm chasing, I can usually keep up for a bit. If I'm being followed I usually make a mistake that sends me off the track. If I'm by myself I have no sense of speed/pace so I usually end up lapping a little bit slower.

 

[Sebastian Huba]

If You go faster when follow someone that means You don't know prefectly track and You just watch the racing line of your opponent and use that for yourself. If You know track for 100% than other driver only distract You and block You for your best line.

 

[James Yates]

Im quickest when im on a clear track but chasing someone down. With other cars around it can be hard to take my lines/brake where i usually do.

 

[Kyle Evers]

Personally I'm faster on my own because when I'm racing and I'm trying to get more speed around a corner but the driver in front of me is not obeying the blue flag, than I must slow down.

 

[Joule413]

I'm faster on my own. If I'm catching up on another driver, it usually means that I'm going faster overall than him/her, and so when I get close, the other driver probably brakes earlier or exits slower than me (I prefer it when they have a slow exit ) and this makes me brake earlier to so that I won't run into the other car. And I'm usually slower when beeing chased too because I have this nasty habit of constantly looking in the review mirror even when the other drivers are pretty far back.

 

[Ben Everard]

I was following this DB9 earlier catching him pretty fast, but I was pushing way to hard, ran wide and lost 5+ places

Damn you karma!

My best lap times are when I'm hotlapping but at very specific (and rather stupid) times. What happens is this - I'm trying to beat my best time and I can't for the life of me stop overdriving, overshooting braking points, braking too hard, accelerating too hard. But when I make a very minor mistake at the start of a lap I reside myself to an inevitable crap time so I take my time. This is when I make a major improvement. This has happened time and time again so it can't just be a coincidence. The annoying thing is, I can't put myself into that relaxed state of mind making it very difficult to perform the smooth driving without making that minor error at the start. Silly eh? Still, it's helped me to realise how devastating it is when I try to force a good lap time. Overdriving'll cook your tyres quicker than a puppy in a microwave.

 

[Nathan Aljoe]

I bottle it more often than not when a car is putting me under pressure. Not so bad when i'm chasing someone down.

Would safley say i'm quicker in oopen track although i have had the odd lapse in concentration lol!

 

[Phil123]

interesting question...I think I'm quicker when chasing someone but always quicker when on my own with a clear track concentrating on the perfect line, breaking/accelerating points etc, devoid of distractions. I do quite a bit of Karting in real life and its the same there.

[Manuel Abel]

track all to myself..
i usually make mistakes when someones infront of me blocking my race line
but first i need to be fast in able to make a clean overtake.. thats the prob lol i need speed and skills!

 

[Knut Omdal Tveito]

I've only driven in GTRevo for some days. I'm a little faster, but also a lot more consistent when driving for myself.
However two days ago I raced with someone from another forum, just two cars on the track. He was considerably faster than me. There was no chance of overtaking him, so I was actually faster because I stayed 10-20 m behind and learned some of his techniques.

 

[Bob Kozakiewicz]

Either the whole track to myself or chasing someone.....if I have someone chasing me, I tend to spend more time looking in the rear view mirror and end up making mistakes.

 

[Bruno Vieira]

My way of drive dont change, usually my times its equal at the same ways. Just a litlle to slow in race, because the fuel and the careful about my tires

 

[Martin Pretorius]

Faster when chasing somebody down, but also much more prone to crashing!! On my own I'm definately more consistent but also more conservative.

 

[Alex Gaddi]

I drive in race07 only for 2 week...
I'm faster when I'm in a clear track (no distractions).
With another car in front of me i can not see my best line for braking!

 

[Vincent Staal]

I'm at my best while chasing somebody down! Wenn driving in the lead it's easy to lose concentration somehow... Besides that, a good fight gets the adrenaline pumping for sure

 

[Ollie Chamberlain]

i always get red eye at the moment and crash out when trying to past someone fast. but as said above, when i do get it together, i can pinch a tenth on their braking
