Love your videos! Please keep making them. It’s refreshing to see track guides of very good lap times that aren’t absurdly quick. Much more relatable!
quite good explanation but unfortunetly slow, they do mid 45 and Idk where am I loosing 1s
Nicee explanation of the track. I can usually feel it out, but lack the ability to describe how i drive these tracks. Races will be interesting here.

I did some practice in the Mustang GT3, I've never raced this track, but holy the red/white curbing cause too much unsettling of the car, but you don't want to not use it so you can open it up. Doesn't look too bad in the PCup, I'll go practice in the PCup this time. What group are you talking about? I'd like to join to learn tracks.

Yea, the curbing is rough at this track, especially the bits that look like they have grating or something. Sometimes on Saturdays when I stream on Saturdays I don't feel like doing a race so I just set up a practice session to work on the next week's track.

@piltdownfilms oh ok, well I mean I have my notifications to alert me when you're on twitch, but do you mention it ahead of time on a certain format/discord? That way I plan ahead to be home? Not out and about and get notified by twitch you're practicing 😆

@@CodeB4US10 It's usually on a Saturday that I'll do a practice stream if there isn't an NEC race and I'm not feeling super try-hard. It really depends on my mood on Saturdays which I get makes it hard to plan for. I might try to make it more of a scheduled thing. They're usually not the most popular streams so I try to avoid it if I can. I do title the streams something to do with practice if that helps.
