      It’s undermining and condescending when they feel the urge to make 20 min videos reading what’s double money and xp. Word for word from the email the publisher emails us. The fact they are monetizing off what can be read in 2 mins is degrading to the ones running up their views.

    One tip I learned racing ovals is that you if you can really straighten out that final corner as you start your lap, you'll gain time. Stay right up next to the wall until you get to that green and black banner and then turn down. You'll have slightly more on throttle time and be scrubbing off less speed because you won't be turning the wheel as much.

  • @michaelpage5499

    Yes I agree the time trial addition is excellent. Good job PD on that one 👍🏼👍🏼 you are also able to get two ghosts. Load someone’s ghost and have your ghost on as well. Helps to see how far behind not just yourself but the best time as well.

    When he was watching the fastest time he noticed that he comes into the apron in the final turn. In his fastest laps he doesn’t do it but when he had some “bad laps” he would gain a lot on that corner by touching it. If he did that on his fastest lap he could’ve maybe gotten a 31:8

    Definitely think you could do better. From the video you watched you weren't quite hitting that first corner right at the apex and then moving up before coming down for the second. Probably could've gained a few tenths hitting right at the first apex. Keep up the great work.

    The low-high-low line the #1 time in the world used is called “diamonding” the turn in oval racing. You tend to see it on flatter ovals as it’s good for maximizing exit speed on those style tracks.

    That banked right into the left gave me the most trouble. Once I was able to carry enough speed through, the final turn seemed easier. Racing this with a controller was so frustrating though. Managed a silver time and gave up after that.

    F O R T W O R T H, Texas, April 30, 2001 -- CART drivers knew something wasn't right as they practiced at Texas Motor Speedway. They just didn't realize most of them were experiencing similar symptoms after dizzying laps.
    In an unprecedented move, CART postponed the inaugural Firestone Firehawk 600 just before its start Sunday because of concerns about safety and the possibility of overbearing G forces causing the drivers to pass out while driving 250 laps.
    "It was a problem all of these drivers were experiencing, but they had no clue what they were experiencing," said Michael Andretti, CART's winningest driver. "This is an area that we've never been before physically."
