DavidCore89 7,402 Posted May 11, 2014 Share Posted May 11, 2014 I think I'm fully maxed already. Will check when Im online. But im 95% sure. I just dont have every car class in my garage. Does that matter? For instance if we ran a sports class race now and I dont have a customized sports car. And I got a generic car from the race lobby. Will it treat it as a customized one with turbo if my race skills are maxed out? Dont know if Im making sense. No, not without the upgrades fitted to that car. I think we all have a sports car and that was your problem. I didn't have a car for every class until I joined this crew but I've learned that it pays to have them, I too get left behind if I use a stock car rather than a maxed out PV.

I do have a sport, that was just what came to mind first as an example. thanks DC and dodge Yeah thats my plan for Tuesday too. I've got about half the performance mods unlocked thanks to LN-MLB. He had a good straight track that ran right down the middle of the freeway so didn't take too long. I'm willing to trade races with anyone.

zmurko 7,622 Posted May 11, 2014 Share Posted May 11, 2014 I could use wins to unlock upgrades as well, Rofur13, markyhitch and newyork-nightmare. If you know a short track (or I can create one for us) I'm up for it whenever you're online. Tuesday is approaching and I plan on getting a full arsenal of different cars for racing.

rumdig 957 Posted May 11, 2014 Share Posted May 11, 2014 If you REALLY want to learn racing...faster. Try getting a good racer to do a one on one race, on a difficult track. This way you can get a better handle on cornering, braking, slide control, etc. If your the "lone wolf" type, practice speed and control in corners, that's where races are won. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dodge 7,248 Posted May 11, 2014 Share Posted May 11, 2014 Thats why I like racing rev and DC89. Dc can race on any Trac at any time and be competitive. If its a track that rev knows, you will wreck yourself just trying to keep up with him. I learn alot from both of these guys. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
newyork-nightmare 698 Posted May 11, 2014 Author Share Posted May 11, 2014 yeah I try to follow them and learn as they go. But within seconds they are no longer in sight.

If its a track that rev knows, you will wreck yourself just trying to keep up with him. I learn alot from both of these guys. Agreed, I wreck every time I try chasing Rev on Nurburgring. For me good racing starts with knowing your car, it's limits and more importantly knowing your own limits. Chasing a much faster guy will always end in tears, especially if they are way more familiar with the track. Knowing racing techniques such as taking the 'racing line', not just through the corners but in most other parts of the track. Stay wide on approach to the corner and turn in on the apex, clipping the kerb or the white line on the apex with your inside front wheel, this will allow for much greater speed through and out of the corner. Being on the racing line as much as possible means you'll be less prone to accidents with others IMO due to having more all round speed. I suggest 'Cutting Coroners' solo as a good track to start learning to take the racing line through corners and maintaining speed whilst keeping control of your car. Try to use other vehicle classes such as compact and sedan as they are much easier to control. Edited May 11, 2014 by DavidCore89 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
newyork-nightmare 698 Posted May 11, 2014 Author Share Posted May 11, 2014 the apex is the middle of the turn, at the spot where it bends the most...

DavidCore89 7,402 Posted May 11, 2014 Share Posted May 11, 2014 Notice there is a racing line and a late apex line, disregard the late apex line as that is more used for hairpin turns or a defensive move where later braking than your opponent is required to keep the position. Bear in mind that too much brakes is better than not enough, more time is lost by wrecking rather than going slow and improving from there on 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dodge 7,248 Posted May 11, 2014 Share Posted May 11, 2014 (edited) If you were to draw the straighter possible line around a corner, stay with me here, the apex is point in the corner where th line touches the inside of the turn. You draw a turn. Enter wide, mark a point there. Exit wide, mark a point there. Now draw a line as straight as possible between the 2 points without going off the track. Mark your apex at the lowest point in the turn. Thank you got attending Dodge's Cornering 101. Edit- Or just look at the previous post.

If the following corner is the same direction it's useful there too as with the correct speed you'll have the inside line for the next corner, some will let you take the position while some will turn in and wipe you both out. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

newyork-nightmare 698 Posted May 11, 2014 Author Share Posted May 11, 2014 has anyone ever passed and beat Rev? I played his race the other day with the 20 mountain drew ramps in the water.

It is possible on R* or other tracks but on his own tracks it's extremely doubtful, he has the lap record on every one of them I've played his beach race, those ramps can be crossed I've done it 3 times but it's easier to go around.
