The final lap overtake: Does not matter how much faster you are, if you spin out every few laps. Consistent slow times are better or equal to inconsistent fast times. That dude has learned it the hard way, I hope. Regarding the race: Severe overdriving on entry nearly everywhere makes you nearly out of control which causes you to fight the car to hold it on track and that causes you to be very late on gas on exits and lose waaaay too much time. GT3s need flowing lines and precise corner entry, so you can hit your marks and get on power just in time for good track out. Overall you always want to focus on getting the entry right, the other parts of the corner - mid and exit - are a consequence. So once you miss entry, the corner is wasted. So the meaning of "focus on the exit" is actually focusing on the correct entry, so the exit can be maximized. Especially in the parts that lead to longer straights, that is where you gain the most time. Focus on track usage and brake application. Sometimes you make entry or exit way too tight, costing yourself minimum speed through the corner and losing a lot of time. also noticed that besides braking too late, in many places you reduced brakes way too early before starting to turn in to use the trailbraking. That means you can brake later and stay stronger on brakes in a straight line for longer. This may be the cause of your overdriving. You start braking early enough, but because you are worried about spinning, you back off them too early, causing you to not slow down enough and almost spin. The crash is unfortunate, yet very common in that part. The corner has decent camber that gives you a lot of extra grip but on the exit it goes over a bump (that unsettles strong cars on gas) and a crest that is not smooth, making the car go lighter and with strong cars - well most cars - it can cause you to start losing the rear there. You need to learn to feel it in the wheel and not force it to turn or you exceed the grip. Good method to learn is what Suellio Almeida calls "Light hands" technique. On brakes make your hands go numb so you dont force the wheel against what it needs and on exit steer with just enough force to encourage the car but weak enough so the wheel is not smothered and can tell you that you are going over the limit. It will allow the wheel to go for passive countersteer and you to react to it and relax the steering.

Yeah definitely fair. I think my biggest issue was I came from something much slower and I couldn’t wrap my brain around the change in car/speed.
Watched the whole thing. It’s nice to see the good and bad results. Still safer, faster and more consistent than I can manage.
Thanks! Definitely important to show the bad alongside the good.
Man the tracks are slick today
That’s for sure
Yep, I watched the whole thing
I’m so sorry haha

I don't mind when your races go sideways, I can commiserate. Watching the big channels run perfect gets on my nerves. Jerks 🤣
I appreciate it, too. This shit happens, but it feels better to know it happens to better drivers than me.
Thank you!
