No offence taken, will never get near those times maybe after a while I might be able to gain a second or two.
Here's a couple of tips:
1. Smooth entry is a top priority. Slow in, fast out is true in sim racing, and the more sim a game is like Project Cars, the more true it is. The biggest mistake I see most online drivers and in YT videos, is going in far too deep, too hard on the brakes, screw up corner entry, and as a result botch the exit. Slower in, faster out.
2. After you recognize 1., brake a little earlier and a little lighter for a more perfect entry line, and focus on a very smooth exit, using the whole track, and getting on the throttle as early as possible. When learning a car/track combination, many of your mistakes should be from running wide on exit from getting on the throttle too early, not from botching the entry by going in too hard. Also, if you find you aren't going to the edge of the track and barely staying on track on exit, you aren't getting on the throttle early enough.
3. Use the whole track. I find a lot of drivers don't use the whole track or anything close to it. If there's a runoff area, you should have 75% of your car in it on exit. If there's a curb at the apex that you can ride without upsetting the car, you should be riding it. Every time you enter almost every corner (there are exceptions but not many) your outside wheels should be on the outside of the track. In some corners like the Schumacker Esses at Nurb GP, it often pays to even ride up the outside curb to get an even wider approach and carry more speed.
4. Use the HUD to your advantage. One of the HUD displays is a small screen with lap and sector times and a running lap time differential. Keep an eye on that lap time differential before and after you exit a corner and you will instantly see what making a good corner does to your lap times. I discovered it in Assetto Corsa and it was crucial to making practice and tuning efficient and in realizing just how important exit speed and getting on the throttle early is. Forget focusing on making perfect laps and overall lap times, and focus on making individual corners more perfect and sooner or later they'll all blend together for better lap times. One corner at a time.
Always keep in mind that corner exit speed and getting on the throttle early is the main component of the best lap times and not corner entry like most drivers think. By slowing slightly on entry to make it smoother, you might lose a tenth or two, but you'll more than make that up on exit speed and in the ensuing straight, especially on corners that are followed by the longest straights on a circuit. Once you get your racing lines down you can experiment with deeper corner entries and harder braking to maximize your potential.
Here's a good example from
@KamyKaze1098 of putting it together in one lap, especially using the whole track and using the runoffs to carry more speed:
I just tuned that same car/track combination and probably left the pits 30 times and that never happened. Lot's of weird stuff happens on the consoles that doesn't happen on pc.
