Four seconds off the pace - technical analysis

Hi Gavin. I started 8 months ago, with a wheel right away. Between Iracing where I started and AC where I happily continue I must have around 600 hours on track, perhaps a little more.

Thank you Michal. I understand what you say, but still I cannot see how relatively small details could make such a huge difference. My own experience is this: being relatively a beginner there are inevitably many small variations in the way I go around any turn: brake a little late/early, stay close to the apex or off a little, accelerate super-early or a little later. This happens at every turn, over hundreds of laps. Apart from obvious mistakes, these small variations NEVER result in differences of more that one tenth, maximum two. More often, the delta bar only shows 20, 30, 50 milliseconds. Proof is that, regardless of the car and the track, I am generally within half a second of my PB, lap after lap, race after race.

And your acceleration is often hesitant because you're keen on staying well on track, but if you have to hit that curb, you have to. That goes for the inside curbs too. Zandvoort is not the kindest for those, but try cutting more in turn 6, first one in turn 9, and turn 10.
(and that shifting up to 5th gear right before turn 9 is superfluous)
Bonjour Pierre. Merci bien pour vos commentaires. Voyez svp ma reponse à Michal.
