Where you stare when you control your car?
#16
Keep your eyes on the front of your car, using your peripheral vision to navigate apexes, braking points, traffic etc. The most important thing, and people forget this, is to also be thinking 2-3 corners ahead of where you actually are on the track...with onroad, especially complex layouts, the fastest line through a series of corners are often linked together; miss one apex and get out of shape and you may blow an entire section of the track.
It's one of the key differences between toy cars and real cars.
With a toy car, you watch it ("keep your eye on the ball"). With a real car, you ARE the "ball", so you only need to watch where you are going.

Mmm, I agree with " let me be natural".
I'll find the natural.

Just slightly in front. It helps avoid any accidents, but not always...

I look at the place the car is in, not so much at the car itself or infront of it.

Try reading a few 1:1 racing guides/handbooks. They can teach you certain things that can apply to r/c like throttle control, braking physics, corner entry, speed perception, etc.

This is so true...where you look is where you are going to go. Visual fixation is something 1:1 drivers have to work hard on. If you see a crash, look through it, passed it, wherever, but definitely not at it or you will become part of it. I use these same principles.

I know where I'm when I drive 1:1, so I can be leaded by my sight.
And I'll make a mistake if I do so when I drive 1:10 because I don't know where is my car if I stare at the aim.
