I'm on page 30 and I've already corrected a few bad habits and my lap times drop daily.
I don't know what to say, Russell. Since I started sim racing, I watched the Skip Barber video at least four times, and it's not telling me anything I don't know already, at least in theory. It's how that translates into practice on the specific tracks I'm driving on that evades me. I obviously watch the hotlaps on Youtube and I get my references from there. When I look, again, at the Iracing analysis, my lines are within inches of the fast guys. Only, they go a lot faster. Braking points very similar, cornering speeds much higher. And if i try to go faster, I fly.
Another example. Say that I follow closely some guy I am racing with. We are comparable in overall speed/ability. I am tailgating him as we go round the corner before the big straight - same speed, same line. I am there, I can see. And then he comes out with a little more speed and gradually moves away...
