Hi Andre,

I actually don't have any replays, but when I have time, I'll create one
and send it to you. I stored your e-mail. I think there are better
options that to learn from me, though :).

I'd like a replay of you to watch your driving style.. you can learn a
lot by watching different people's driving styles..

   I over-cooked it going into the right hander before the esses at Sears
Point.  I
plowed all the way through the sand trap and nosed into the armco....quickly
changed to reverse, gunned the motor and broke the gear....Car was fine,
engine was fine but I was stuck with no way of getting back out...hehe

Do you look for anything in particular?  I don't think I'm looking for/at the
right things.  All *I* see is that someone is faster.  I can see the difference
in the line through the turn if it's wildly different.  In other cases, I'm on
(what looks like)the same line, but I can't hold the same speed.  That's
confusing.

Sorry Eldred, I didn't have time the last couple of days to check your
replay (that accident yesterday happened in a town 3 hours away from
me - it was quite late when I finally got home by train :) but tonight
I have the whole evening for myself and check that replay.

I use Replay Analyzer a LOT, it's very interesting to see how fast
other people can take corners compared to me. When you compare a
replay from Monza for example in RA, you can clearly see how important
it is to exit that 2nd lesmo as fast as possible, if you exit the 2nd
lesmo a 1/10th faster you gain a couple of 1/10ths all the way to
Parabolica.

If I don't know how someone else can drive a corner so much faster, I
take the corner in a couple of different ways and analyze with RA
which way is fastest in the end (sometimes sacrifying some entrance
speed gives more exit speed and results in a faster lap).

Interesting for me is that in my Ring replays I'm very fast during the
2nd half, only a couple of seconds slower than the fastest guys, but
during the second half of the Ring I loose a LOT of time.. maybe
because I get mentally tired after the first half, maybe I'm affraid
to push it during the last part, affraid of spoiling the lap, I
haven;t figured it out yet.

RA doesn;t exactly tell me what I'm doing wrong, but more -where- I'm
doing something wrong so I can focus on those parts more. In your
case, you loose a lot of time, and compared to your other track
laptimes your Ring pb is not really good, I think you should be able
to drive a lot faster there.

I'll get back on this one :)

8:38 isn't very good?  What's your estimation of where I should be?  I have a
league race there on the 12th...<g>
