Very nice! Do you allow a few thoughts regarding the matter?
First of all, you made a nice psychoanalistical approach at the
beginnig, hitting right into the spot a few times.
If I may express a few humble opinions as well (without intention to
make your effort less good), I'd say that people make mistakes because
they are afraid to loose what they have, which is very human.
Having a high place, even a lead say five laps before the end, and a
mirror full of opponent's lights going left & right could make one
think twice - if I'm obviously slower, do I risk being eventualy
pushed out of the track due to new defending-racing-lines or will I be
happy with a nice 2nd place?
One should always know it's limits and never go over them. There's
always a faster guy out there. A real example - on the road, I manage
to pass many of other cars with my A4 quattro, but when I have
Mercedes 600 on my six, I may keep him for a few corners but he'll
leave me behind on the first straight. And that's it. No tears. Hats
down.
You might find this funny, but the most valuable sentence for my PC
racing was the one from the movie "Days of thunder" - "To win the
race, you must first finish it!" This helped me to gain a lot of
points in GP2, as it wasn't "victory or nothing" for me any more.
And at last - off-line leagues do make people suffer as they have to
push all the way, no matter if they have a 1 minute home-lead - they
are racing invisible opponents. This kills the enjoyment because it
does not reflect the true feeling and tactics - one would normaly ease
down or pace himself, not making hotlaps till the flag drops down...
After all, I'm looking fwd to your new articles!

Hi GoGen, I very much enjoyed reading your comments about my
article. Is there a small chance you were refering to the 'Inner Game
of Racing' article? It kind of sounded like maybe you were. If thats
the case, please do a Refresh of the Main Page, because there is a new
article posted for this week. In any case, I liked hearing what you
thought. ..oh, and that famous racing expression is: 'To finish first,
you must first fininsh' and its as true today as it was during the
Roman Chariot racing era when they first used it :)
