Roadblock
So I've been slowly working my way up through the Open wheel series, played through the trainer and rF3 a couple of times each. I started with the AI at 80%, and was beating it pretty soundly. Worked up to 85-90, and was still able to win most races. I was qualifying in the rF3 car a couple of seconds off the pace of what the AI could do if I let it drive (on most tracks, some I was right with it, some a little farther behind...).
So, I won enough money to buy one of the Formula ISI cars, and started doing a little testing/practice. After a couple of days practicing on Mills Long, I'm still no where close to running times like the AI cars, even at 70%. The AI can drive through the Chicane area pretty much at full speed (or at least at 150+mph), driving over curbs and never seeming to lose traction. If I so much as touch a tire off into the dirt, or try to run over the curbs like the AI cars, I get heavy oversteer and am spinning off the track, so I have to break pretty hard going into that section or I'll be in the wall. I've seen a couple of youtube videos where people are running through this section about as fast as the AI can, and I am just baffled as to how they're doing it. There's also a couple of bumpy patches where if I am on the gas when I hit them, again massive oversteer and a spin.
I'm feeling like I went from being pretty good at the sim, to absolutely horrible. I am just not competitive at all in these F1 cars. Any help/advice would be well appreciated!
