Never argue with an idiot. He brings you down to his level, then beats you

It just takes a lot of practice I guess. Plus I like Silverstone. I
liked it in GP2.
Sorry... Silverstone drives me nuts!!! I don't know if it's the lack
of a rich field of trackside objects (like Monza or Watkins Glen) or
the lack of elevation changes, but I am ALWAYS turning in too late!
My principle skill developed at Silverstone is to be able to drive
most of the length of the Hangar and Farm straights in the grass
without spinning as I normally go off the outside of the corners that
enter them.
No, I don't feel Silverstone is particularly easy...

I think Silverstone is just about the "easiest" circuit in the game to
beat the AI because of the nature of some of the turns.
The quick left-hand flicks lead on to straights and you can get through
those much quicker than AI cars seem to be able to, and so gain a lot of
time.

You should be overly aggresive at Maggots (T2L). You can overcook the
turn but it's easy to recover. I usually just tap the brakes and a
slight jerk of the wheel left.

Yeah I played Accolade Grand Prix as well. I remember being overly
e***d about running a 53 at Monaco.
Download a few replays of Silverstone and you'll run a low 90 in no
time.
I didn't get pole position on my first attempt there. Was on the
front row.
It took me 4 attempts to get the pole :)
