a tree doesn't make you a better driver or racer

Except at the Nurburgring and Snetterton.

Well, until the Snetterton one blew over.

By all means play scenery simulator, I personally like the cathaic nature of farm sim and that has trees in it

There's genuinely trees used as marker points though. The "aim for the highest tree" advice for the Karrusell is probably the most famous.

Laguna Seca also has three trees on the outside of the corkscrew after the first apex - always heard when you are pointed to the centre tree then that's your time to go full throttle.

There is to be fair and I use some shadows (I know I know they move)

There are only 2 trees I use, yours and Nebucs but they really depend on the entry/exit

And I'm not very good at either of those, my wife will tell you.

I dropped my time at Dragon Trail by a tenth of a second to a 1:47.5XX which is cool with me.

That new time has me in P3 for race 1. I cannot control the car and have a hard time not bouncing and sliding all over the track that has me fall back to P6. I make a pass at the cruise ship turn, and am ahead enough that I would think the driver would back out entering the CoD. Nope. They decided to try and shove me aside and I retaliated. And I got the worst of it as I spin and they get away. Not the best idea, but I don't appreciate getting shoved like that. I finish P11 with a clean race bonus somehow.

My next race has me in P5 this time. For some reason I cannot control the NSX again and fall way down the grid. Also got stuck behind some drivers heavy on the brakes in the CoD and that killed my momentum that didn't help. The last lap I make a pass for P8 on the last corner, but the driver I passed had massive understeer and that forced me off track from what I can tell. So, I finish P9 and feel dejected from that one.

So naturally I go for one last race and start P5 again. I manage to keep my spot this time and have a nice race with P4 the entire time. I was on their bumper all race and I force a mistake on the last lap on the cruise ship turn. I hold them off and finish in P4 for a nice end to my eveneing. They gave me some kudos in the post race chat and I responded in kind.

I think my time with the NSX is over as I can't keep up with the Huracans. I probably try and learn to control the Huracan tomorrow and determine if I want to jump back in. It has been getting aggressive and drivers becoming desperate to make passes in questionable locations and I want a car I can handle if things get out of hand.
