Is it just me or does anyone else suffer with this affliction?

So i've been hotlapping for 20mins when I hook it up & i'm flyin ,
I get through the 2nd split & my time comes up in BIG numbers, now as I am in hotlapping mode split times are very important. This puts extra pressure on me as this the fastest I have ever driven & a new PB is on the cards, then I get flustered & miss an apex or a turn in point .

All my hard work undone in an instant. How do I stop this happening?
Can I turn off big split times appearing whilst hotlapping? they are so off putting.

Shift-F

Yes, you can turn it off in the options under Display --> Checkpoint text.

Thank you

This is simply a matter of concentration. Your focus is being broken by a fast split time because you are thinking "if I make it round these last 3 corners I should get a PB". While you are thinking that you are not mentally preparing for the next corner - hence the mistake.

Learn to cut things from your mind when you need to and you will make less mistakes and win more races too probably.

If they're coming up while hotlapping you have them set to come up whilst racing also. You just haven;t bothered to notice them hehe. I even notice the little writing split ties when hotlapping. I have to force nyself not to look up at my previous split time so I don't lose concentration. Otheri times it helps when I see myself on a pb split I can put in the extra effort to go fast in the last sector and try to get my best lap. It really works both ways.
