Any advice to increase my racing skills here would be appreciated.

Btw, amazing how well the AI behaves at Bristol so far..

Be careful trying to outbrake going into a turn. Also, when there's room
available per other cars, it's good to diamond the corners very slightly,
and clip the apron on turn exit.
Works for me anyway :)

That's good advice John, if you watch the big boys, they dive in almost
touching the apron, come up off the at the apex a little, then almost touch
the apron exiting as well. This seems to keep the amount of 'brushing' the
wall on exits to a minimum. Hard to do in traffic tho...

In N2002 though, you need to exit as it's done in the actual races; roll
through the corners, and don't get back on the gas literally until you're
exiting the turn, car is more or less going straight again.
If you're fully back on the gas at the apex, sooner or later, you're going
to run into trouble :)

Yup, trouble spelled c-o-n-c-r-e-t-e :) Not so bad in the play races with no
damage, a couple o taps with real damage has yeilded some interesting hood
shapes for me in 2002 thus far...The major concern in gassing at the apex
(aside from wall bangin) is the RF will erode more quickly.
