The watching mirrors IS a thing, but ideally it wouldn't be since if you are looking in your mirror going into a turn fearing someone is about to dive bomb you, there's a good chance you are not going to take that corner as accurately as would benefit you... even if you are trying to give him room to do so. Especially if your speed is set up for a typical racing line. Giving room means you could find yourself off track shortly.

Another good tip I've found is to practice starts with AIs. The AI in Assetto Corsa isn't the best thing in the world, but at the very least you can find out what the first couple of turns in lap 1 are going to look like when you are in a full grid. I save a preset in Content Manager for car/track combos that put me in the middle of the grid of 20 drivers, and essentially do about 10 race starts before I join the official SRS race server. I get a good idea of where I need to start braking and what different lines through these corners is going to be when there is another car to my side.
