If i make a mistake in the first 3 or 4 corners in the sense of spinning out i restart. If its only a minor problem ill carry on just to practise the rest of the track.
Agreed. I hate having to go through all that stuff before the timer starts, so I only do if it I make a serious mistake early. If you mess up you can always activate the ghost, check how far you are from it, and try not to lose that distance. OR use the split times to find how far you are from it, and try to lessen that time.
 
i usually dont restart and as someone mentioned practise the other sections.....

sometimes when i know i cant beat my best lap (99% of the time :P) i just try tweaking the driving line and speed etc.
 
If I spin out I usually reset and this is why the last half of the track causes me more problems.

Funny thing is, the majority of the times I beat my own record are within the first lap or two after taking a good 30 minute break.
 
It depends. If I spin out I just restart but small mistakes I just carry on. Won't be able to beat my best lap but I can practice the later sections of the track.

+1

But sometimes when I spin I keep going. It's only if I spin onto that stupid grass or sand that I restart.
