2. Generalizations don't always hold true. We don't live in a vacuum, and advice in tuning guides and on these forums only gets you so far. A good example is the suggestion to never over jump and land as quickly as possible. The truth is it depends. Sometimes it's better to over jump, or power slide a turn. If you're not one of the "fast guys", try watching those who are or ask for input while practicing.
I'm the fastest guy in the clubs I drive but never fast enough. Only real opponent is myself, I try to race as if I was alone but my spirit doesn't always make it happen
It's all about self confidence, this is where I have to progress because the skills are almost there (I can be in the national top 3 in quals but still making too many mistakes in the finals). Keep in mind Belgium is a small country so it is not representative at all of a general level, I would be a newbie in the US
thanks kodak because this subject is also about providing tricks to the drivers
