most racers will be 2 seconds below the top times, as long as you can be withing 4 seconds or so from the WR, you wont get crashed, 4 seconds over a whole track is like nothing when drivers can compensate easily. I suck at racing, and I just get out of faster peoples ways... I dont cause a wreck that way. then again im 6-10 secinds below most WRS

this explains trail braking.
when you slow down with the throttle slights on, it reduces the engine braking, and results in much less tendency to oversteer. It is used mainly in open wheel cars I belive.
the less the damper's strength, the less they break. I can get near indestructable setups by using low/wmedium springs with as little damping as possible.
not MSPtaint, but I did convert it from an xrt skin... it looks bad but it is actually at a good resolution etc. whle it is on the car. All of the choppy parts arent art of where the graphics are seen.
if you made the side lights alot darker, then made the top lights more pointed down(less wide) and whitenede them up, it would look alot better. darker floor couldnt hurt either.
You have ver nice renders
