OK, I am on par with AI at 100% and I usually end up in the bottom third of Server 1 races. My rating grows because I drive clean and consistent, I am relatively new to the hobby and 58 years old, so all that suits me fine - that's presumably where I belong.
But. I like to understand things. And, for the life of me, I cannot understand how somebody can be two, two and a half seconds faster than me on a minute-and-a-half track, and not on an occasional hotlap, but consistently, in race conditions. A couple of tens, that I can understand. Half a second, OK. One second, perhaps. Two and a half? Give me a BREAK!
In Iracing they have telemetry analysis. That's very nice, but it didn't help me much. It just showed that the other guy was 5 or 10 MPH faster than me mid corner, after I had gone around the same corner maybe 600, 700 times, trying all possible small variations of line. In. Com. Pre. Hen. Si. Ble. Also, and predictably, the other guy always had more yaw angle than me. But I don't know what to do to get the bloody car to rotate a bit...
Any thoughts?
