I think im an alien because i manage to send my car to space after every corner
The fact that you included the psychological part makes this video truly on point from my POV. I am one of those who sometimes lose their cool when under pressure. Don't know how to fix, nothing to do for me other than just keep driving at this point. Great video!
To fix it you can try maintaining an attitude and not trying to get what you wanted. Just let your goal pass and take an easier one!
A car has its own emotions and heart...
You have to love it accordingly.

@@tomsterbg8130 I am one of those who always attempts to shoot for the stars, just in my nature :P
I'm kinda shit at racing games, but I'm great at FPS games and I came up against this problem alot.
The key is to not care about winning or losing, but to care about doing your best. See if you really want to win, but you're losing, your first instinct is usually something like speeding up or making bigger plays to recover from mistakes, but one mistake leads to another (since a mistake usually leaves you in a vulnerable position, or you might not realise that you're not placed where you would normally be had you not made the mistake) and doing that will usually lead to even more mistakes.
So instead of trying to beat the other people, try to beat yourself instead. Try to beat distractions, try to beat mistakes, try to be better than you've ever been before because that is all you can aim for, and you just have to hope it's good enough. One day when you've pushed yourself far enough, it will be.
Lack of focus is the enemy. And competition can be a distraction.
EDIT: Just to clarify, you obviously need to WANT to win, otherwise you won't push yourself. You just need the mindset that you don't HAVE to win. You need to realise that being last ain't that big a deal if you tried your best then your opponents were just better. You'll keep getting better if you keep trying and keep practicing, so just look at it like you won't be losing forever, just today.
Everyone loses when they start.
When I am racing, if I am in the last position, everything is calm, when I go to the middle is when I really enjoy the race, but if I get to first, my pulse and heartbeat are all over the place... XD
Actually for me to be honest and brutal on my self im a beginner but I always have the pace of amateurs so its weird because I'm in that inbetween were im a beginner but im an amateur at certain tracks im good at
A good driver is consistenly good, instead of "oh I suck everywhere else but Im not the slowest one here"
He mentioned the mistake where you go too fast and make mistakes because of that. If you avoid a mistake you go faster and that messes up your mentality not knowing what ACTUALLY is happening
same happens to me lol
@Joe Pascal the nature of online first turn
I always go off line and slowing down, because you never know when the idiot make the dive bomb
Take between a week or a month break and come back.
Every time I did that I came back better, idk if it’s the same thing for the others.
I’ve done this quite a few times where I thought I wasn’t improving at all so I changed games or just stopped playing and I always improved after a break
I would fall above amatures, I know lots of stuff in theory and can apply them successfuly on the course. But because I play only rally simulations, I don't memorize any tracks, I learned to predict the roads and listen to my co-driver, while using anything I can to my advantage and make up my strategy as the course progresses. Like knowing the limits of my car, when I should push hard for time, or play it safe. Something that I learned driving 90's group A cars. Skidding is real in these cars...
You dont memorize tracks as a rally driver? Whaaaaaaat?
@@revstreak thats almost impossible because the track changes if more people drive over it. Rallying is one of the most intense motorsports because the track is almost impossible to memorize. Thats why rally drivers have co-drivers which reads the next corner or jump on paper (like 5 left or 2 right)
@@revstreak You can memorize some sections or even the whole road, but for a rally driver doens't make a huge difference. Their intuition is very sharp and they can be pretty fast only with pace notes. Btw they usually learn or memorize some critical sections, where they can gain some advantage.
@@Nico8DS thats exactly what i was trying to say
I find in most rally games i can disregard the map and focus on the co-driver and I'm fine for the most part. They give you enough information if you're listening
after seeing this video, I guess I'm an Amateur, I kinda pass a little bit less than 8/9 Hrs per week in racing games and my lap times are kinda inconsistant, but I am improving a lot during the times I drive in some games 🙏
Same
Same
I'm over a month into iRacing and I haven't been on a track with another human
Apart from what he said, you can't improve anything if you have someone always yelling at you. Typically parents.
"Please, concentrate! *TRIPLE CAUTION!* *TRIPLE CAUTION!* "

SAMIR
agree fully
SAMIR YOU ARE BREAKING THE CAR!
I'm between a pro and an amateur. I put in about 3 to 8 hours per week so i play to little to be a pro, but in some instances i can beat pro's consistently... i also have days i am just trash lol
Hrs played don't make you a pro lmao ...you're a beginner .
@@shaundavidssd He probably beat the pros when they were just warming up or messing around. 360-no scope style 😏
You cannot be both, it's impossible to be both. Pros are consistent ALL the time, not just once or twice. The people you were racing with were likely not pros at all. As they say in initial D, you can see the aura of a pro, these drivers are rare, the top 1%.
same. I've been playing the same game for almost 2 years now and i'm pretty damn good at driving a 250+mph car with other players in the same or faster cars on narrow city streets with a shit load of traffic.
And no i'm not talking about any modern game. I'm talking about a game from 2006, that was reborn in 2012 and even more so in 2020.
I'm talking about Test Drive Unlimited.
@@Delimon007 I know what you're saying and i mean you're not wrong. What i meant to say is that i can have a day, sometimes multiple where i can be really consistent and drive top times. I also have the days where I'm inconsistent, still relatively fast but not on a pro level(amateur) because of small mistakes
I'm an amateur, for sure.
Even I'm knowing how to setup my car, what is a racing line and respect the other drivers on the track, I'm still learning something new every time I play any racing game. Some weeks ago, I've learned, for example, why I can't exaggerate the Caster angle when I setup my car. But I still suffer to keep the race pace, and psychological battles are my weak point. I need to work this if I want to be more competitive in online races.
Great video Viper!
Yes but do we wanna talk about the driver parallel lines intro? I love that game
I actually do spend some hours although I don't have the right equipment (which is something I would like to have in the future) and, although I can have pro's pace after adapting to the game, during races I tend to make mistakes to "make things more interesting"... and lets say I hate most cars without ABS
put it on 1 like almost everyone does it is a great relief to your left leg
Keep spending those hours. I do have decent equipment and cockpit but I drive like 1-3 hrs a week. Edit: so I suck.
I never use ABS in games.
@@afjgaming1136 good for u mate, I usually use realistic assists although I usually turn off TC and obviously SC which just slows me down
@@a.u.r.a.s
I turn off the SC, leave the ABS at 1 and the TC at 2~3 (Max lv is 5), still a lot of mistakes so I'm an amateur.
Started simracing 1 month ago but despite my lack of experience my pace is like an amateur but slightly bigger mistake/lap so I am happy with my improvement (I also drive without assist normally)
Duuuude, parallel lines!!!!! So many hours playng that amazing game
Your intro gave me Driver San Fransisco vibes :D
Same .. I was going to type this
its from driver parallel lines
Its parallel lines but.... anyways
@@vitorsia1613 ah, i see
I think you were very kind with this classification, I can do 5 laps around some tracks with no major mistakes so like and advanced amateur and still be 3 second per lap slower than the first 5 cars. I don't think there's that many aliens out there.
THIS INTRO DUDE!!! makes me nostalgic
@Fernando França Figueiredo Londero driver 1 or 2, and ps2 demo disk
@Fernando França Figueiredo Londero jak2
jak & daxter
i think there should be 4th category between beginner and amateur and that would be casual driver, who plays racing sims once a while
On ACC you can disable offline rating, to make test without loose rating! ;)
Amateur mindset, but the experience of a pro. I really do overdrive and push myself to the limit giving it my 110% on races, I seem to only be able to pace myself if there's not a single car ahead of me, which explains my poor consistency yet usually the fastest qualifying laps. If I can't maintain pole and as long as there's someone going faster than me, I'm going to try my best to match that person when I really should be focusing on my own pace instead.
Kudos for the new intro
I feel so identified with the "amateurs".
you have no idea how much nostalgia that driver intro brought back for me
I'm definitely an amateur. But watching each of your videos (not only the lessons) I learn something new and useful, which pushes me one step forward.
Man the Jak 2 renegade soundtrack you put in the beginning is pure gold
I'd rank myself "pro" with a sprinkle of amateur but I drive a lot less then 8h per week. Only when I prepare for a league race I drive a lot. Depending on the event I might train 20+ hours for a single race. In endurance races I usually have around 1 bigger mistake per 5h (possibly damage), and maybe some smaller ones like some oversteer or missed apex.
If you keep your mistakes small even snap oversteer or apex missing you’ll end up finishing nice just because you’re consistent and don’t crash
Again, pro is when u make a living. Not just cause ur gud
holy Jesus, i'm trying so hard to improve my skills, trying to avoid all these mistakes, but on really, i'm so distance of a great performance. But i'll continue to perserverance and study more. I'm greatful for your videos, them make me better lap after lap, Thank You
First of all i Love that "Driver" Intro. Im a Amateure with the effort of an pro, at least when it comes to hours spend a week. Best thing to learn and get faster is racing with the fast ones and watch ur replays :) keep up the great Videos Mate Love ur Content
That driver opening is flawless.
When a chanel has a edited driver intro as chanel intro then you know this is good content.
I'm an beginner. I've just started sim racing 2 months ago, playing Assetto Corsa, with an average time of 3-4 hours a week. I'm still using mouse steering tho, my parents won't let me buy a steering wheel so I guess I need to wait for that.
But you know what? Mouse steering is not that bad. Of course you're not faster than anyone else in online races. But at least you have better control of the car compared to keyboard control. I've already learned the basic like racing line, braking point, and taking an apex in tracks like Imola, Monza, and Silverstone. But it's difficult for me to control the throttle and brake input (mouse steering doesn't allow you to control your throttle and brake input ofc). So I guess I need to wait for a steering wheel to learn that.
I enjoyed playing offline with bots and doing some laps in practice mode tho. Maybe I will focus more on improving my racing skills later when I managed to buy an steering wheel.
(Sorry for my grammar. It's bad I know)
Your grammars sound pal.......
@@daviddawson4655 yeah I know. Sorry about that
@@mikosfy I'm not sure why you apologised mate.....please don't,I wasn't having a go I honestly meant your English is ok.....🙂
@@daviddawson4655 oh that's what you meant. I'm sorry mate. Thanks for that David.
This video really shows that practice makes you perfect and the perfection makes you better
Thanks to you I actually learned how to drive without assists and with manual on a controller!!!
also I am in between pro and amateur category and the typical mistake I make:
Applying too much throttle in a turn exit.
Saw myself on your description of beginner, lack of patience, late braking (dive bomb), and the urge to overtake on the spot wherever I catch up with the opponent is very real. Hope you had a mindset training for sim racers :)
i used to be an amateur with much more hours per week (slow improvement), now i'm a non-practicing sim-driver. Very good vidéo. thank you
I remember jumping in Conedodgers and Ironhorse servers and regularly seeing the usual "aliens" trigger insim nonstop. Really got me motivated to do the same and i was hitting great splits in no time.
I’m an Amateur, 7-8 hours a week, makes mistakes but still fast and competitive.
Sounds like me
I am a amateur so far
I play GT Sport and in the Sport mode I usually start in the 10th position due my time in the classificatory lap. I know the basics of driving in a racing track but I can't find the right braking point, sometimes it's too early or too late. The racing line is also a challenge because I always try to follow it but in most parts of the race I find myself out the racing line. I do some mistakes in racing but I consider myself fast and not a idiot on track, because, as I said, I usually start at 10th position but always finish at 4th at least.
I try my best to avoid crashes and I pay many attention on the leaders to learn their driving style and I use it to improve myself. It is working .
nice video, loved the Jak soundtrack at the end, it brought me so many memories!
Thought I was the only person who noticed.
I feel like I'm between amateur and pro, I spend around 18 hrs a week at least racing, but I only drive on GT Sport (just got back to A/S) and more recently on Assetto Corsa 1. I am still a bit inconsistent but I know exactly where I make mistakes compared to aliens so I can try and fix them in later laps
Aliens are aliens because what they do cannot be replicated with skill, you can try as hard as you want but if you don't understand the basic concepts they are using (at least it is basic to them anyway) then you'll never make their lap times. I have people try to follow my lines all the time, and fail at doing so lol. . .
@@Delimon007 IMO that's where you're wrong. While yes there is an area of an alien's driving that surpasses skill, one can still reach that upper echelon of drivers entirely with their own skill. It just comes down to how much practice they have and how they use said skill.
@@Yaz27
If that were possible then everyone would be able to reach the times of aliens but that's not possible. Take it from a guy who can consistently make top 50 times in many different games, sometimes players are far out of your league. Even if I can make a top 20 time there are times where I reach the limit of my skills and cannot get anywhere near the absolute best time.
It's pretty obvious to me that you've never competed in the pro environment before, join us one day and you'll realize how stupid this statement actually is.
Reaching the top 1% of the community is not an achievement. Reaching the top 1% of the top 1% of a community IS an achievement and there are STILL several brackets of skill levels within that top 1%. You're not going to be replicating what those players are doing and it is a fools game to try to do so. People are born with different skill sets and racing is no different. Everyone has their own peaks some much higher than others. Competitive environments have never been fair and they never will be.
@@Yaz27
And for the record, you can practice as much as you want, most drivers still cannot beat me even when I stop playing a game for months and I can come back and still beat my old times which are already close to the very top of the leaderboards. It takes a lot more than just skill to reach the alien level, it's just simple natural ability. Aliens don't need to spend hour after hour after hour to accomplish a goal that they've set for themselves. The only time they WILL put this much effort into something is when they are practicing for an actual competition. Reaching alien status isn't something you can just practice for an achieve, it requires a high level of intellect, ability to predict what will happen, strong follow through, exact and precise inputs for the car even including things like blipping, curb usage, etc. It's the exact same reason why you can see the fastest drivers IRL having different brackets of skill and drivers always finding ways to get more time.
What a lot of people do not understand or comprehend is that just because YOU are improving does not mean that they are not improving as well. Once you have reached the top you are still improving and the only way you can EVER reach them is if you are improving at a faster rate than they are hence, why I'm able to go back to playing other racing games whether it be sim or arcade and beat my old leaderboard times.
It's really just not that simple and it never has been.
@@Delimon007 well then suit yourself. We'll see who's right in time.
That "Driver" intro looks very nice
Pro and slow… really good video with interesting perspective taken. :). Subscribed.
I think, i’m into amateur driver class. I usualy do some mistakes and lose positions.
I learned a lot from tour videos tho. Thx a lot!.
Right now i’ll try to improve even more
in arcade racing you can still have beginners, amateurs, pros and even aliens
in wreckfest i used to race competively on manteln alot
great fun and i learned how to read other drivers soo i often am able to avoid crashes
I'd say I'm somewhere in between an amateur and pro since I'm very clean, consistent, practice gradual acceleration to avoid wheelspin, and always brake early, hitting the apexes 99.5% of the time. I'm great with sequential shifters, but I struggle with using a clutch. paddles to the rescue I guess, LOL
After 14 years of simracing I can say that Iam a pro, but I've had online battles that made me temporally an alien for these races. It's an unique feeling and the memories that make you think "Can't believe I pushed that hard and went that fast"
AMAZING INTRO!!! MISSED THAT GAME SO MUCH!
Practice,practice, practice makes perfect👊👍🏁 great video mate!👍👊
Another good way to test your skill level is to join a (not too big) community online. Race after race u can compare your results with other drivers.
In every community I joined I was always from few tenths to few seconds slower than top aces. Usually I'm on top 5 (depending on how big is the community or its average level), I won races and get many podiums, fighting against pros and sometimes aliens. So I can say I feel like a pro, but not an alien unfortunately
Great video, I'm not quite a biginner yet, currently building a rig for me and my kids, my first goal is to beat them.
I rally as my main sim racing sport. I can drive as fast as the aliens and can compete with their times if I have a clean run, but make as many mistakes as an amateur which leaves bordering pro level. Thanks to this video I think I’ve learned where my biggest mistake is. Patience. Once I can be patient and learn how to handle each corner perfectly, I think I can start competing! To the future!
i think that i'm a amateur in psych, since i looked up a lot about cars and racing in general, and even tried to apply it and look for a engaging way to connect with the Racing Genre, but my soul is from a beginner who don't really like racing that much, i pretty much stood in FH4 since the start and i love to max and speed test cars performances, the glow in racing for me is not to stand in the podium and things like that, i like to see the cars passing each other, and if i like one car i don't bother to look it from behind for a while before i ram into oblivion and quit 10 seconds later to build the car i'm into rn, don't get me wrong about this ramming thing i don't really play online, and when i do i usually don't even touch the other cars unless extremely necessary (which i think is a really nice quality to master in my crazy driving style) or if it's an accident, i have this beginner thing that i'm trying to get rid of that is I LOVE FAST CARS, but just when you're laying 120mph with just a 2 second press into full throttle and i find myself in a pretty embarrassing close turn, it's quite impossible to not use the walls as a "guide me daddy" thing, and since i'm mainly focusing on straight line performance i don't really practice cornering that much, this video made me realize how stupid i look by not cornering or focusing on being steady instead of "i have only 2 buttons, one go on the other one go on too but the other way around"
Why is nobody talking about the Jak 2 background music in the beginning? Loving it!
As an amateur myself, I think the faster way for consistency is going faster and faster till the limit.. then gradually modulating. I mean, free practise to the limit, optimise your routines for timed qualyfying sessons, then "modulate" for races. Remember, we learn from our mistakes more than from our achivements.
Driver parallel lanes intro 😔
Brings back memories
I am a very competitive sim racer (Not completely a pro but make very less mistakes and have decent experience), unfortunately my steering wheel broke, it shifts up two times when I press the pedal once and keeps giving full left input even when I am turning right or not even turning, after a lot of convincing I finally convinced my father to get a new steering wheel for me since I have been using that steering wheel for 11 yrs, I will get it when I reach my weight loss goal, so now I exercise in my playing time to reach my weight loss goal faster 😄
I'm playing casually every once for a while and consider myself inbetween beginner and amateur. I know a lot of techniques but I do not have much knowledge of racetracks. After one hour of warm-up my pace becomes fairly consistent and I realize all my mistakes. I am a slow driver but the fun of driving is for me more important than being fast.
I'm an amateur, since I know pretty well how to drive in races, but I need a steering wheel, pedals and shifter to improve myself. I arrived to a point where it's difficult to improve with controller, I need more sensitivity. I still have to improve on how to setup the car and how to recognize setup issues, but I know well when I do some errors on driving. I started playing racing games like 15 years ago, but in the last times it isn't that easy to improve. Even because I don't play enough too.
I'm in the gap between amateurs and Pro's where I spend over 8 hours a week on sim racing, but I started only a few months back so I make big mistakes, but I can also get competitive lap times
Gotta love that Driver Parallel Lines intro tho
I think I would place myself between amateur and pro'. I know most of the tracks and I have done countless battles on Gran Turismo but there are times where I would give in the pressure and others where I feel mentally as solid as a rock just hunting for a better laptime and improving my driving line during close races
Happy to discover I'm at least an amateur. Unfortunately I put in as many hours as a pro, though. I instinctively want to blame my skill level on the fact that I use a controller and not a wheel; especially when it comes to cornering and tire management.
If there’s one thing I’ve noticed a couple of times during some races I partake in is that I get greedy depending what car I’m driving. And when I race, (mostly on the turns) I get so greedy that I take the turns too fast or attempt to hit the apex flawlessly. My great uncle says he gets greedy too, but he knows a lot more about racing than I think he does. Other than that, I don’t really call myself a pro on certain games when it comes to online. I might say that only to the A.I. But I’m not perfect, so I still restart or make mistakes. So I’m still in a learning process.
“Your goal is not to win. Your goal is to go faster. “
“Sometimes you deal with traffic, sometimes you are the traffic.”
When you’re up against a driver that you need to push hard to pass, you have a chance to get faster. Leisurely follow them for a lap or two; observe.
Where are you faster? That’s a passing opportunity.
Where are they faster? Can you replicate it or adapt it to your driving style?
This approach helps many people keep cool and collected, excited even to see a faster driver in their side view mirror. This translates to less incidents, more races finished, and subsequently more races won.
Acceleration, breaking, gear change area just before, turn in, balance area or trail breaking, apex, transition from neutral balance area to slow acceleration, full acceleration, drift slang rip the handbrake 🤣, I been around driving over 24 year's you learn a lot from trashing around car's weather it be irl or sim, sims are so good these day's the only difference is g force, and danger lol, big up viper 💯💪
This has really helped me, thank you
I'm definitely classified as an amateur I've been playing on and off for 5 years, frequently for 3. I have impeccable pace, awareness, and reaction as long as I see somebody else's time at the top. Normally I carry great pace but I screw up as I am not motivated, the only times I drive impeccably is time trials, and racing against someone else.
I think the weirdest thing is that when I screw up in a race I manage to save it, and come just short or match the last lap. I'm never able to replicate the result outside of a race. It's frustrating to try to improve but not be able to match my own pace in a race while in a private practice on my own. I drive Nordschleife about 90% of the time that I race or practice.
I seriously can't solve this puzzle. If anyone can help me figure out whatever problem whether mentally, or physically, or both.
I tend to zone out in a race and then realize that I've set a fastest lap or moved up a position. But I can't do that on my hot lapping in practice.
THE MODS THEY MADE FOR BEAM NG TO RACE ON TRACKS IS AMAZING.
I haven't watched you in a while... I think I stopped about when you started speaking in ur vids... But I can say your English is a lot better... Keep it up!
Id consider myself an alien. Its been quite some time since I popped a GT disc into my ps3, but when GT 6 was still online, I was consistently setting record laptimes in the top 50-400 every week without much practice or playtime at all. I drive professionally now, but not on a track. Although the way I drive my rig would make you think otherwise.
Oh, and fun fact: ive never owned a steering wheel for GT. Id did all of this with a controller and a few hours of time per week. I never made it into the GT competitions, simply due to the fact that they guys that spend 80+ hours a week on the game knew every exploit on the track. But I always gave them a run for their money early on in GT5, and its something I'll always remember.
A very well put together video there👍 I guess I'm somewhere between Amateur/Pro levels, because whilst I've been playing all sorts of racing games throughout most of my life actually, as well as knowing most tracks well, along with track respect for others and such, there's still a lot of people I know who are (annoyingly) faster than me😫😂
I feel I fall in this weird in-between, I prefer open world driving games way more then track based driving because I like the freedom of choice and I really dislike very tight tracks, I much prefer flowy fast tracks like the nordschleife, so I play a lot of games like fh4 and the like, but I've recently gotten into iracing, and I know how to and can drive the car fast but I don't know any tracks so that makes me slow.
Driver parallel lines intro i LOVE that game
I feel like I'm in between a beginner and an amateur. I can drive without major assists like TC and ABS, but I couldn't turn off racing line for any tracks unless I've spent a ridiculous amount of time on them. The Nordschleife is the only track I could drive without racing line. Also, my consistency is that of Pastor Maldonado. I can be "fast" but I also have the tendency to make mistakes and crash. But it's not like I'm not trying to improve myself though!
Im more than amature but definitely not pro, i can see my mistakes through your points and taking notes actually, good video
So, I've been playing racing games since 2014, on my Xbox 360, with games like Need For Speed: Most Wanted 2012, The Run, Carbon, Hot Pursuit 2010, Shift 1, Colin McRae DiRT 2, Test Drive Unlimited 2, Forza Horizon 1, Forza Motorsport 2 and 4, I even have spent a couple of hours on Superbike World Championship 08 and Superstars V8 Next Challenge. I think I would be somewhere between amateur and pro, but also somewhere between amateur and beginner, because I play around 4 h/week.
Techer: slow in, fast out
me: FAST IN, FASTER OUT!!!
I'm probably an amateur I race like 10 hours a week, I know most of the techniques. Currently I am grinding Spa lap times in GT4 cars and learning how to tune cars.
I haven't even started yet lol. But definitely beginner. I've o ly played dirt 2 and wrc so far. But definitely know from watching some livestreams I don't have the mental that you mentioned to be as consistent. To me they are driving so fast it looks like muscle memory
I play a lot of hours per day I’m above average remember pretty much all the tracks and I finish in the top 5 online pretty often I just like online battles with people who actually know how to drive it’s so much fun when you battling for someone for couple laps
I do not consider myself anything tbh because I only play and hour or two each months but I used to play a lot in the past (15-20 Hours a week).
But there’s only one advice that I can give just: Take A Break.
I used to Take a break between a week or a month and come back. (Not because I was bored)
Every time I did that I came back better, idk if it’s the same thing for the others.
I’ve done this quite a few times where I thought I wasn’t improving at all so I changed games or just stopped playing.
Guess what?
I always improved after a break because it gave me time to assimilate everything I learned, and rest as well.
Omg the Driver intro 👌😎
Freakin childhood man
Thanks for this video ! It was really instructive ! Now I know that I am a amateur with my gamepad :D
I have literally had my wheel a week or two! I want to channel an inner ayrton!! Smooth precise and as cold as ice!!! 💯 Focus annnnd I'm in the gravel!!!
Driver parallellines intro 🔥🔥🔥
When I'm on my controller, on most tracks I'm a amateur with with some pro elements, however when I'm on my wheel, depending on the track, I'm a beginner with some amateur elements
In the old days where I was playing racing games in Sim-Arcades, I could consider myself as an amateur. But now that I stopped I’m so much a beginner lol
When I am on my game, i can venture just below Alien but most of the time I'd consider myself pro. I've been simracing since 2006
I have logitech dfgt, its a good begginer wheel, you can drift with it, and if you practice enough, you can be good with it too
OMG the Jak and Daxter soundtrack in the background
I am a totally beginner. I brake super late, I ram people (mostly because I have no idea how to keep racing line or enter corners, not because I intend to ram them) and I usually spin in the first corner especially when using RWD cars.
Also I play racing games like 2 hours a week.....and I have zero knowledge of tracks and how to tackle them.
after seeing this video i would say i'm above an amateur's level, i don't make as many mistakes as the average amateur but i do not have the pace of a pro, i spend about 10 hours per week but that is when most of my time is on the week ends or only an hour on a school day. i know most tracks known for grand prix racing, and my consistency is pretty good.
ACC tells me that my category is GOLD and I have 100 Car Control rating. However my competition is ZERO an my safety is 71. Now I know how to improve.
I personally believe i'm somewhere between an Amateur and a Pro in my skill level, I have the pace, the knowledge, the racecraft, the experience, but I'm slightly more inconsistent than I's like to be, and I am a bit prone to making mistakes out on track, say the odd lockup of the brakes, or the odd spin, but I can recognise those mistakes and improve upon them.
For me I was a beginner when I was younger and played nascar. I only knew how to go into circles. I didnt even know what the tracks from other category cars were. Then I play Gran turisml
I'd say I'm comfortably a high-amateur or (very) low pro. I have the experience of a pro and would like to think I understand racing theory and execute it very well, but I absolutely do not have the consistency or the stress tolerance of what you define as "pro" yet. It really depends on the day for me. One day, most likely after I graduate college I will most likely see some real improvements in my racing skill.
I'm probably an amateur but just about 1 quarter of the way there to pro, I find myself more calm in what would be usually tense situations like side by side turning or drafting on someone when they're in a technical section, my only problem is qhen someone contacts my car i tend to loose my cool
I had to laugh when he showed the first clip of the armature lol, it could be footage of me! : )
After playing alot of project trackday (it's a roblox racing sim, in a stretch and because my laptop cannot handle even the racing sims that come first in the pc). I manage to learn quite fast in tracks that I was not familiar, I also understand how to brake in different car models, how you control that specific car and such.
Because of my facination about how cool racing sims are, I tried playing gran turismo on the psp. I also have the gran turismo on the ps1, but I like the cockpit view on the psp.
Let's just say that with what I learned in the game, some of it transferred to gt. I am currently beating rank A drivers after 3 days of driving sarthe 223 and the old one with no corners on the fast straight.
I know I know, roblox and old gt games won't make any difference and I would just be lower than the beginner class, but hey atleast I tried. Maybe someday I would get the real stuff and be a beginner or amateur on it, but not today.
I hope you all have a great day.
i'm the guy with full time job and plays acc/ac only on the weekends for a couple of hours and everytime finishes between the top 3 but in the most cases i still not winning the race, i dont have time to improve so i'll keep an average+ driver
Alien, i strive to memorize more tracks and feeling different automobile's.
From the perspective of someone who has been playing with sims since Grand Turismo first came out for playstation, I have to say this: If you can't complete a race in first, without track offs, unsportsmanlike contact, or dive bombing corners and using a shady pass-and-block maneuver on your way out of corners racing against AI, you have no business racing against other people.
