    A year old but still a great video good sir - thank you. Just getting back into GT and i always procrastinate when going back online. I spend more time than perhaps I need, refreshing my memory of the tracks and then never actually get out on track! I just need to crack on and these tips will help a lot. Thanks again man.

    Watching all these older videos gives an appreciation on how long all you guys have been at it. I can get to B no problem but my times pretty much put me at the bottom of the barrel so after few races I get demoted. If you're in DR C/D/E and you follow this advice and you're not binning it you're guaranteed to place in top 10 most of the time. I like setting up that overtake on the corner. It seems obvious once you said it but I'm such a tool I've been letting of the throttle on straights to let that happen :D BTW I've been guilty of hitting the PIT wall on the entry on many tracks more than I'd like to admit.

    Thanks for the small feature of me actually getting something right! 😃 and for yet another great guide!
    I actually still find your original “How to race smart” video from some years back one of the most useful videos I’ve watched for a casual racer like me.
    I try to stick to that long term approach every time I enter a Race C. Doing Race A is another thing though 😃

    Smashing video dude and all great, useful tips. Things people overlook for sure. I am still sometimes falling in the time trial trap you talk about in your last point.
    However, I have learned to distinguish in my mind the TT I do where I'm learning/warming up to the combo, and the TT when I'm trying to hotlap and get every corner perfect.
    I am racing more these days though. I'll often hop into a race just to see where I'm placed, only to find I'm higher than I thought I'd be. Nothing is better for getting faster and racing better though, than just racing!
    First time I got up to A rank (in GT sport) I actually did so mainly just having decent clean races and maybe gaining a couple positions, if any at all. You certainly don't have to win to get the DR, and too often people act like that's the case

    • @wombleleaderracing6455

    Some great tips there mate. Some of which I've started using. Instead of diving straight into qualifying, Ive started going into qualifying time trial to practice the track using a ghost that's quicker than me. Since Sunday, in 6 races at Alsace and 4 at Road Atlanta, I've gone from D/A rating to B/S rated. That just 10 races. 3 wins & only 2 outside of top 5. Because I prepared. Great video mate. Thank you

    Good advice 👍 A few ones for me:
    /For fuel saving short shift, it’s the best way, fuel maps rarely essential and can be a distraction.
    /When racing, keep your eyes on markers/apexes = consistency. It’s very easy to start watching the car ahead/behind or time gaps = mistakes
    /Don’t try to be the last of the late brakers. Brake a bit earlier esp. in races, get a better exit.
    /If a move is not on, sit close, brake gently, save fuel/tyres, get good exits
    /OP car may not be the best car for you (I can’t drive the Gr3 GTR 😂)
    /Have a brake marker for pit exits. Gaining/holding a position at that stage of the race can make a big difference

    • @wombleleaderracing6455
      @wombleleaderracing6455  Год назад +1

      Would agree with all of that mate.
      I was actually testing something with fuel maps after watching Tidgneys video recently.
      Was food for thought and maybe will be a video in future.

      Just joined ur channel 👌 hoping to get in on some lobbies, start from the back and follow some decent drivers round to help improve my times so I can hopefully get outta the way of the ones I'm on about 🤞I think the only way to get better is to get more experience with better drivers, the problem with the game itself is getting that experience is almost impossible when C drivers hold me up and B drivers nudge me off straight away putting me back into C. Keep up the great work on ur channel, by far the best on here 👌

    • @wombleleaderracing6455
      @wombleleaderracing6455  Год назад

      No DR is calculated on finishing position.
      Simply put you lose DR against players that finish ahead of you and gain against those you finish ahead of.

    @marceloc6691 7 месяцев назад

    I am a top DR B driver and I am getting lobbies mixed with DR B and DR A. I have the impression that DR A cars are faster, I am sure DR A drivers are faster, but some situations such as straight lines and parts of the track where there is no way the other car could be that faster than me. I am so pissed with that. Did you or anyone ever noticed something similar to what I am describing?

    • @wombleleaderracing6455
      @wombleleaderracing6455  7 месяцев назад +1

      I'm afraid the reality of this is the faster drivers are just carrying more speed through the corners. I feel/experience this myself even as an A+ driver. I think I'm on the absolutely limit of what the cars capable of them some alien is lapping 7 tenths quicker. If I watch there driving it looks the same as mine, sometimes it looks messier and slower but the stopwatch says differently.
      The clue though tends to lie in minimum speed through corners. Often there carrying 2,3-4 mph more through each corner and then down the next straight and so the tenths start to add up.
      In my experience the biggest difference between an A driver and an A+ driver is the in the braking. Lower rated drivers tend to overflow the car and rely to much on straighline braking which reduces minimum speed in corners and subsequently makes it harder to get the power down. Try to concentrate on braking a little bit earlier, carrying more speed through the middle of the corner and getting on the throttle earlier and you should see gains.

      Over the last few weeks I've had races affected and ruined by people fighting for every corner, even though we're on opposite strategies, and we've got half the race still to go. Even though they have a good sized penalty to serve, and they're going to lose the place anyway. Even though they've just been through the gravel, and had to cut me up to keep the position in the first place - then after all this, they still can't see that they screwed themselves over in the end, getting tied up in a squabble for 5th/6th, when we could have been battling for a podium if we'd raced smarter! 🤬
