I say you'd be a midfield driver with those times...
Don't mind about the best times, they're always 1sec or more slower online (you
can't go flat out if you want to finish, and you can't flat-shift, you must ease
off throttle before shifting and that costs time). Just go to VROC and come racing,
but respect all those flags (blue ones ;o)), I personally hate it when I catch up
the backmarkers and they swerve all over the track and fighting me like they would
do if we were fighting for position.
I'd advise all drivers before they start racing online that they should run a
race or 2 offline at that track and learn where are the overtaking places and where
ther are NOT. I see many drivers overtaking into turn #1 at Monza which is baaad,
especially if you have a driver infront of you who is already braking late. And
learn where is the best place to let faster guys pass you. If you resist, they will
force their way through anyway, which may result in a crash (with bad words after
the race) or you going way offline and loosing much more time then you actually
would if you'd brake a bit earlier then usuall and let the other driver pass (but
fightas much as you can, if it's for position ;o))
