Ummm after about 20 minutes.. i thought I sort of cracked it

Am I right in saying that you have to turn early, and sort
off catch the back of the car (very twitchy)

I still crash and get over 2 minutes on Monza ( oh dear)
I will keep trying!!!

Then I took the aids off...

Don't worry, it will come with time. Just don't push it.
Take it easy and work on consistency, the speed will come.

Too much crashing leads to huuuuuge frustration and
will get you nowhere, only maybe between GPL bashers ;o)

My biggest tip, is to just try and stay on the track and drive
smoothly, do not try to drive fast straight away, I know this is
*very* hard to do at first, but if you concentrate on controlling the
car and keeping it on the track, and trying to be smooth with the
accelerator and brakes you will see big increases in laptimes after
you have mastered controlling the car.

You can get a good *feel* for the car after only a couple of hours?
BTW, which car are you driving? The Lotus is everyones first choice
because its probably (in the right hands) the fastest car but its
also the hardest to master? but if you try using say, the Eagle or the
Brabham, it will be a lot easier for you if you are still learning.

Don't try and break any world records, just concentrate on staying on
the track and getting another 2 minute lap. When you can do that
consistently then try to beat your best lap by another half second,
and then another half, and so on, and so forth. Pretty soon you will
be down in the 1:30's.

No,  but you do get faster with lots of practice!!!!
