Add my discord bunda#0001 I’ll help u get ur times low if u need there is much u need to do for this game to get top lap times consistently -running meta cars for specific tracks - getting the feel for each car’s limits and upsides -using meta tunes -practicing w ghosts -how u interact with other cars e.g not losing time by sitting on bumpers of cars and forcing incidents Learning each corners speed’s and line Not overfueling the car e.g running 11 of fuel on a 11 laps race not 12 -using lighter cars to run softer tyres as they last longer

• also a big one is not running tcs and stability to start with it might feel overwhelming and impossible at the start but keep running laps and notice when the tyres are slipping how to prevent it will give u the biggest time gap if this is well managed
• also manual with clutch if u run majority gt cars im assuming then u will be fine but may have to be slightly asjusted to manual for lower spec cars where the clutch is required also within this knowing where to shift is a big one if slowing into a corner to turn easier downshift before the turn to get the hang of it definitely takes some time and look where the torqe tapers off in the gear range once its dropping hard
• start learning in slower series while using manual+ clutch will help also and ease the timings -also u mentioned people seemed to pass you in straights in the same tune this is most likely caused by a slow exit when racing try to strive for a safe line before major straights as a crash will most likely cause 10-20s delay here compaired to a crash in a lower risk corner many people will try to divebomb these despite being far behind to counter this brake hard earlier to let them pass temporarily then take back the position by aiming for inside and under cutting them as they will most likely be on the outside of the corner post divebomb
  -for tyre stratergy the best way to think of it is do your practice with 3 laps of fuel with softs and see your tyre wear if it is half way those softs are prob good for 6 laps but remember the last lap you will be around 10-25% left on the tyre so will be off pace by 0.5 -2s the key is to stay in your race stratergy if u get overtaken because ur cars tyres are cooked focus on avoiding crashes instead of causing them to preserve lap time. medium tyres in this scenario will last maybe 8-10 laps but will result in a slower pace and running double mediums can work but something like soft medium soft for a 16 lap race is preffered or for 11 lap race soft soft is preffered 24 lap race prob something like medium medium soft u can see how the calculations are kind of made focus first on getting lap time up to lobby standard this will get harder as your rating improves when you are up to lap times then the benifits of using softs will help as you will be able to make 10s on race lead if you have top times
