I am still new to this game. Less than a week actually. Ive only been practicing with one car(FOX) and two tracks BL and Aston Club. I am still about 2 seconds off the fast laps most people get on those tracks. But thats down from 7-15 seconds that I was down initially. Alot of the time made up has come from finding good setups that match my style, and just watching replays of the fast guys and finding the right lines.
I also will drive a course as fast as i can until i hit spots i know i have trouble with. I will take those a gear down or so just to make sure i take the right lines, then slowly try to take it faster and faster. Obviously i stil lhave 2 seconds to make up, but I feel with constant practice practice practice I will get there.
For Example on Aston Club, with the FOX, the usual average fast laps seem to be around 1:00-1:01, and 1st sector is 32.50ish or something. I am consistently driving in the 1:03's now and hitting 33.40 on that first sector. I notice that my times keep getting ever so slowly, faster...from consistently driving at my best pace w/o being reckless over and over. Just from concentrating on driving consistent laps, rather than trying to get with the leaders. Accepting that I will be not in the top spots makes it easier to just practice finishing the race and learning to drive.

Thanks for these vids. Im new to LFS and serious online racing, and there were some nice common sense things in there that i just possibly wouldnt have considered, but now will!
I am new to the LFS community. I am a huge Formula 1 fan, and a huge fan of Open Wheel racing in general. Looking forward to practicing up on all the servers and not staying a huge noob for long.
I have been into racing games for years now, but have just recently gotten into the "sim" category of racing games. I mostly played Formula 1 CE on the PS3, TOCA series, and have enjoyed the LFS demo enough to purchase the S2 license. Oh yeah, im in the Nashville, TN, USA area.
