How to Distinguish Pro, Amateur, Beginner Drivers 

To fix it you can try maintaining an attitude and not trying to get what you wanted. Just let your goal pass and take an easier one!

@@tomsterbg8130 I am one of those who always attempts to shoot for the stars, just in my nature :P

I'm kinda shit at racing games, but I'm great at FPS games and I came up against this problem alot. The key is to not care about winning or losing, but to care about doing your best. See if you really want to win, but you're losing, your first instinct is usually something like speeding up or making bigger plays to recover from mistakes, but one mistake leads to another (since a mistake usually leaves you in a vulnerable position, or you might not realise that you're not placed where you would normally be had you not made the mistake) and doing that will usually lead to even more mistakes. So instead of trying to beat the other people, try to beat yourself instead. Try to beat distractions, try to beat mistakes, try to be better than you've ever been before because that is all you can aim for, and you just have to hope it's good enough. One day when you've pushed yourself far enough, it will be. Lack of focus is the enemy. And competition can be a distraction. EDIT: Just to clarify, you obviously need to WANT to win, otherwise you won't push yourself. You just need the mindset that you don't HAVE to win. You need to realise that being last ain't that big a deal if you tried your best then your opponents were just better. You'll keep getting better if you keep trying and keep practicing, so just look at it like you won't be losing forever, just today. Everyone loses when they start.

When I am racing, if I am in the last position, everything is calm, when I go to the middle is when I really enjoy the race, but if I get to first, my pulse and heartbeat are all over the place... XD

A good driver is consistenly good, instead of "oh I suck everywhere else but Im not the slowest one here"

He mentioned the mistake where you go too fast and make mistakes because of that. If you avoid a mistake you go faster and that messes up your mentality not knowing what ACTUALLY is happening

same happens to me lol

@Joe Pascal the nature of online first turn I always go off line and slowing down, because you never know when the idiot make the dive bomb

Take between a week or a month break and come back. Every time I did that I came back better, idk if it’s the same thing for the others. I’ve done this quite a few times where I thought I wasn’t improving at all so I changed games or just stopped playing and I always improved after a break

You dont memorize tracks as a rally driver? Whaaaaaaat?

@@revstreak thats almost impossible because the track changes if more people drive over it. Rallying is one of the most intense motorsports because the track is almost impossible to memorize. Thats why rally drivers have co-drivers which reads the next corner or jump on paper (like 5 left or 2 right)

@@revstreak You can memorize some sections or even the whole road, but for a rally driver doens't make a huge difference. Their intuition is very sharp and they can be pretty fast only with pace notes. Btw they usually learn or memorize some critical sections, where they can gain some advantage.

@@nicvac96 thats exactly what i was trying to say

I find in most rally games i can disregard the map and focus on the co-driver and I'm fine for the most part. They give you enough information if you're listening

I'm over a month into iRacing and I haven't been on a track with another human

Hrs played don't make you a pro lmao ...you're a beginner .

@@shaundavidssd He probably beat the pros when they were just warming up or messing around. 360-no scope style 😏

You cannot be both, it's impossible to be both. Pros are consistent ALL the time, not just once or twice. The people you were racing with were likely not pros at all. As they say in initial D, you can see the aura of a pro, these drivers are rare, the top 1%.

same. I've been playing the same game for almost 2 years now and i'm pretty damn good at driving a 250+mph car with other players in the same or faster cars on narrow city streets with a shit load of traffic. And no i'm not talking about any modern game. I'm talking about a game from 2006, that was reborn in 2012 and even more so in 2020. I'm talking about Test Drive Unlimited.

@@Delimon007 I know what you're saying and i mean you're not wrong. What i meant to say is that i can have a day, sometimes multiple where i can be really consistent and drive top times. I also have the days where I'm inconsistent, still relatively fast but not on a pro level(amateur) because of small mistakes

agree fully

SAMIR YOU ARE BREAKING THE CAR!

Same .. I was going to type this

its from driver parallel lines

Its parallel lines but.... anyways

@@vitorsia1613 ah, i see

put it on 1 like almost everyone does it is a great relief to your left leg

Keep spending those hours. I do have decent equipment and cockpit but I drive like 1-3 hrs a week. Edit: so I suck.

I never use ABS in games.

@@afjgaming1136 good for u mate, I usually use realistic assists although I usually turn off TC and obviously SC which just slows me down

@@a.u.r.a.s I turn off the SC, leave the ABS at 1 and the TC at 2~3 (Max lv is 5), still a lot of mistakes so I'm an amateur.

Thought I was the only person who noticed.

If you keep your mistakes small even snap oversteer or apex missing you’ll end up finishing nice just because you’re consistent and don’t crash

Again, pro is when u make a living. Not just cause ur gud

Your grammars sound pal.......

@@daviddawson4655 yeah I know. Sorry about that

@@mikosfy I'm not sure why you apologised mate.....please don't,I wasn't having a go I honestly meant your English is ok.....🙂

@@daviddawson4655 oh that's what you meant. I'm sorry mate. Thanks for that David.

Aliens are aliens because what they do cannot be replicated with skill, you can try as hard as you want but if you don't understand the basic concepts they are using (at least it is basic to them anyway) then you'll never make their lap times. I have people try to follow my lines all the time, and fail at doing so lol. . .

@@Delimon007 IMO that's where you're wrong. While yes there is an area of an alien's driving that surpasses skill, one can still reach that upper echelon of drivers entirely with their own skill. It just comes down to how much practice they have and how they use said skill.

@@Yaz27 If that were possible then everyone would be able to reach the times of aliens but that's not possible. Take it from a guy who can consistently make top 50 times in many different games, sometimes players are far out of your league. Even if I can make a top 20 time there are times where I reach the limit of my skills and cannot get anywhere near the absolute best time. It's pretty obvious to me that you've never competed in the pro environment before, join us one day and you'll realize how stupid this statement actually is. Reaching the top 1% of the community is not an achievement. Reaching the top 1% of the top 1% of a community IS an achievement and there are STILL several brackets of skill levels within that top 1%. You're not going to be replicating what those players are doing and it is a fools game to try to do so. People are born with different skill sets and racing is no different. Everyone has their own peaks some much higher than others. Competitive environments have never been fair and they never will be.

@@Yaz27 And for the record, you can practice as much as you want, most drivers still cannot beat me even when I stop playing a game for months and I can come back and still beat my old times which are already close to the very top of the leaderboards. It takes a lot more than just skill to reach the alien level, it's just simple natural ability. Aliens don't need to spend hour after hour after hour to accomplish a goal that they've set for themselves. The only time they WILL put this much effort into something is when they are practicing for an actual competition. Reaching alien status isn't something you can just practice for an achieve, it requires a high level of intellect, ability to predict what will happen, strong follow through, exact and precise inputs for the car even including things like blipping, curb usage, etc. It's the exact same reason why you can see the fastest drivers IRL having different brackets of skill and drivers always finding ways to get more time. What a lot of people do not understand or comprehend is that just because YOU are improving does not mean that they are not improving as well. Once you have reached the top you are still improving and the only way you can EVER reach them is if you are improving at a faster rate than they are hence, why I'm able to go back to playing other racing games whether it be sim or arcade and beat my old leaderboard times. It's really just not that simple and it never has been.

@@Delimon007 well then suit yourself. We'll see who's right in time.

I think that driving with you i am pro, driving alone beginner😂
