Another thing ive learnt as a Demo racer in Blackwood is that in an XFG me using my edited setup my car goes about 3 seconds faster when i take the corners at a comfortable pace rather than when i push the car to the absoulute boundary.
right now my fastest is 1:35:XX and that was wen i did a nice comfortable lap. However when i push the car i get 1:39:XX around which goes to my theory how mentality can play a role, if u are patient u will get results though when u try to push ur car u tend to make mistakes and wear your tires out like crap.
