I think im an alien because i manage to send my car to space after every corner
Actually for me to be honest and brutal on my self im a beginner but I always have the pace of amateurs so its weird because I'm in that inbetween were im a beginner but im an amateur at certain tracks im good at
A good driver is consistenly good, instead of "oh I suck everywhere else but Im not the slowest one here"
He mentioned the mistake where you go too fast and make mistakes because of that. If you avoid a mistake you go faster and that messes up your mentality not knowing what ACTUALLY is happening
same happens to me lol
@Joe Pascal the nature of online first turn
I always go off line and slowing down, because you never know when the idiot make the dive bomb
Take between a week or a month break and come back.
Every time I did that I came back better, idk if it’s the same thing for the others.
I’ve done this quite a few times where I thought I wasn’t improving at all so I changed games or just stopped playing and I always improved after a break
The fact that you included the psychological part makes this video truly on point from my POV. I am one of those who sometimes lose their cool when under pressure. Don't know how to fix, nothing to do for me other than just keep driving at this point. Great video!
To fix it you can try maintaining an attitude and not trying to get what you wanted. Just let your goal pass and take an easier one!
A car has its own emotions and heart...
You have to love it accordingly.

@@tomsterbg8130 I am one of those who always attempts to shoot for the stars, just in my nature :P
I'm kinda shit at racing games, but I'm great at FPS games and I came up against this problem alot.
The key is to not care about winning or losing, but to care about doing your best. See if you really want to win, but you're losing, your first instinct is usually something like speeding up or making bigger plays to recover from mistakes, but one mistake leads to another (since a mistake usually leaves you in a vulnerable position, or you might not realise that you're not placed where you would normally be had you not made the mistake) and doing that will usually lead to even more mistakes.
So instead of trying to beat the other people, try to beat yourself instead. Try to beat distractions, try to beat mistakes, try to be better than you've ever been before because that is all you can aim for, and you just have to hope it's good enough. One day when you've pushed yourself far enough, it will be.
Lack of focus is the enemy. And competition can be a distraction.
EDIT: Just to clarify, you obviously need to WANT to win, otherwise you won't push yourself. You just need the mindset that you don't HAVE to win. You need to realise that being last ain't that big a deal if you tried your best then your opponents were just better. You'll keep getting better if you keep trying and keep practicing, so just look at it like you won't be losing forever, just today.
Everyone loses when they start.
When I am racing, if I am in the last position, everything is calm, when I go to the middle is when I really enjoy the race, but if I get to first, my pulse and heartbeat are all over the place... XD
I would fall above amatures, I know lots of stuff in theory and can apply them successfuly on the course. But because I play only rally simulations, I don't memorize any tracks, I learned to predict the roads and listen to my co-driver, while using anything I can to my advantage and make up my strategy as the course progresses. Like knowing the limits of my car, when I should push hard for time, or play it safe. Something that I learned driving 90's group A cars. Skidding is real in these cars...
You dont memorize tracks as a rally driver? Whaaaaaaat?
@@revstreak thats almost impossible because the track changes if more people drive over it. Rallying is one of the most intense motorsports because the track is almost impossible to memorize. Thats why rally drivers have co-drivers which reads the next corner or jump on paper (like 5 left or 2 right)
@@revstreak You can memorize some sections or even the whole road, but for a rally driver doens't make a huge difference. Their intuition is very sharp and they can be pretty fast only with pace notes. Btw they usually learn or memorize some critical sections, where they can gain some advantage.
@@Nico8DS thats exactly what i was trying to say
I find in most rally games i can disregard the map and focus on the co-driver and I'm fine for the most part. They give you enough information if you're listening
Apart from what he said, you can't improve anything if you have someone always yelling at you. Typically parents.

SAMIR
agree fully
SAMIR YOU ARE BREAKING THE CAR!
after seeing this video, I guess I'm an Amateur, I kinda pass a little bit less than 8/9 Hrs per week in racing games and my lap times are kinda inconsistant, but I am improving a lot during the times I drive in some games 🙏
Same
Same
I'm over a month into iRacing and I haven't been on a track with another human
I'm between a pro and an amateur. I put in about 3 to 8 hours per week so i play to little to be a pro, but in some instances i can beat pro's consistently... i also have days i am just trash lol
Hrs played don't make you a pro lmao ...you're a beginner .
@@shaundavidssd He probably beat the pros when they were just warming up or messing around. 360-no scope style 😏
You cannot be both, it's impossible to be both. Pros are consistent ALL the time, not just once or twice. The people you were racing with were likely not pros at all. As they say in initial D, you can see the aura of a pro, these drivers are rare, the top 1%.
same. I've been playing the same game for almost 2 years now and i'm pretty damn good at driving a 250+mph car with other players in the same or faster cars on narrow city streets with a shit load of traffic.
And no i'm not talking about any modern game. I'm talking about a game from 2006, that was reborn in 2012 and even more so in 2020.
I'm talking about Test Drive Unlimited.
@@Delimon007 I know what you're saying and i mean you're not wrong. What i meant to say is that i can have a day, sometimes multiple where i can be really consistent and drive top times. I also have the days where I'm inconsistent, still relatively fast but not on a pro level(amateur) because of small mistakes
I actually do spend some hours although I don't have the right equipment (which is something I would like to have in the future) and, although I can have pro's pace after adapting to the game, during races I tend to make mistakes to "make things more interesting"... and lets say I hate most cars without ABS
put it on 1 like almost everyone does it is a great relief to your left leg
Keep spending those hours. I do have decent equipment and cockpit but I drive like 1-3 hrs a week. Edit: so I suck.
I never use ABS in games.
@@afjgaming1136 good for u mate, I usually use realistic assists although I usually turn off TC and obviously SC which just slows me down
@@a.u.r.a.s
I turn off the SC, leave the ABS at 1 and the TC at 2~3 (Max lv is 5), still a lot of mistakes so I'm an amateur.
Yes but do we wanna talk about the driver parallel lines intro? I love that game
Duuuude, parallel lines!!!!! So many hours playng that amazing game
Your intro gave me Driver San Fransisco vibes :D
Same .. I was going to type this
its from driver parallel lines
Its parallel lines but.... anyways
@@vitorsia1613 ah, i see
I feel so identified with the "amateurs".
Started simracing 1 month ago but despite my lack of experience my pace is like an amateur but slightly bigger mistake/lap so I am happy with my improvement (I also drive without assist normally)
THIS INTRO DUDE!!! makes me nostalgic

i think there should be 4th category between beginner and amateur and that would be casual driver, who plays racing sims once a while
I'm an amateur, for sure.
Even I'm knowing how to setup my car, what is a racing line and respect the other drivers on the track, I'm still learning something new every time I play any racing game. Some weeks ago, I've learned, for example, why I can't exaggerate the Caster angle when I setup my car. But I still suffer to keep the race pace, and psychological battles are my weak point. I need to work this if I want to be more competitive in online races.
Great video Viper!
Kudos for the new intro
Never been this early

On ACC you can disable offline rating, to make test without loose rating! ;)
I think you were very kind with this classification, I can do 5 laps around some tracks with no major mistakes so like and advanced amateur and still be 3 second per lap slower than the first 5 cars. I don't think there's that many aliens out there.
I feel like I'm between amateur and pro, I spend around 18 hrs a week at least racing, but I only drive on GT Sport (just got back to A/S) and more recently on Assetto Corsa 1. I am still a bit inconsistent but I know exactly where I make mistakes compared to aliens so I can try and fix them in later laps
Aliens are aliens because what they do cannot be replicated with skill, you can try as hard as you want but if you don't understand the basic concepts they are using (at least it is basic to them anyway) then you'll never make their lap times. I have people try to follow my lines all the time, and fail at doing so lol. . .
@@Delimon007 IMO that's where you're wrong. While yes there is an area of an alien's driving that surpasses skill, one can still reach that upper echelon of drivers entirely with their own skill. It just comes down to how much practice they have and how they use said skill.
@@Yaz27
If that were possible then everyone would be able to reach the times of aliens but that's not possible. Take it from a guy who can consistently make top 50 times in many different games, sometimes players are far out of your league. Even if I can make a top 20 time there are times where I reach the limit of my skills and cannot get anywhere near the absolute best time.
It's pretty obvious to me that you've never competed in the pro environment before, join us one day and you'll realize how stupid this statement actually is.
Reaching the top 1% of the community is not an achievement. Reaching the top 1% of the top 1% of a community IS an achievement and there are STILL several brackets of skill levels within that top 1%. You're not going to be replicating what those players are doing and it is a fools game to try to do so. People are born with different skill sets and racing is no different. Everyone has their own peaks some much higher than others. Competitive environments have never been fair and they never will be.
@@Yaz27
And for the record, you can practice as much as you want, most drivers still cannot beat me even when I stop playing a game for months and I can come back and still beat my old times which are already close to the very top of the leaderboards. It takes a lot more than just skill to reach the alien level, it's just simple natural ability. Aliens don't need to spend hour after hour after hour to accomplish a goal that they've set for themselves. The only time they WILL put this much effort into something is when they are practicing for an actual competition. Reaching alien status isn't something you can just practice for an achieve, it requires a high level of intellect, ability to predict what will happen, strong follow through, exact and precise inputs for the car even including things like blipping, curb usage, etc. It's the exact same reason why you can see the fastest drivers IRL having different brackets of skill and drivers always finding ways to get more time.
What a lot of people do not understand or comprehend is that just because YOU are improving does not mean that they are not improving as well. Once you have reached the top you are still improving and the only way you can EVER reach them is if you are improving at a faster rate than they are hence, why I'm able to go back to playing other racing games whether it be sim or arcade and beat my old leaderboard times.
It's really just not that simple and it never has been.
@@Delimon007 well then suit yourself. We'll see who's right in time.
I'd rank myself "pro" with a sprinkle of amateur but I drive a lot less then 8h per week. Only when I prepare for a league race I drive a lot. Depending on the event I might train 20+ hours for a single race. In endurance races I usually have around 1 bigger mistake per 5h (possibly damage), and maybe some smaller ones like some oversteer or missed apex.
If you keep your mistakes small even snap oversteer or apex missing you’ll end up finishing nice just because you’re consistent and don’t crash
Again, pro is when u make a living. Not just cause ur gud
I feel I fall in this weird in-between, I prefer open world driving games way more then track based driving because I like the freedom of choice and I really dislike very tight tracks, I much prefer flowy fast tracks like the nordschleife, so I play a lot of games like fh4 and the like, but I've recently gotten into iracing, and I know how to and can drive the car fast but I don't know any tracks so that makes me slow.
Amateur mindset, but the experience of a pro. I really do overdrive and push myself to the limit giving it my 110% on races, I seem to only be able to pace myself if there's not a single car ahead of me, which explains my poor consistency yet usually the fastest qualifying laps. If I can't maintain pole and as long as there's someone going faster than me, I'm going to try my best to match that person when I really should be focusing on my own pace instead.
I'm an beginner. I've just started sim racing 2 months ago, playing Assetto Corsa, with an average time of 3-4 hours a week. I'm still using mouse steering tho, my parents won't let me buy a steering wheel so I guess I need to wait for that.
But you know what? Mouse steering is not that bad. Of course you're not faster than anyone else in online races. But at least you have better control of the car compared to keyboard control. I've already learned the basic like racing line, braking point, and taking an apex in tracks like Imola, Monza, and Silverstone. But it's difficult for me to control the throttle and brake input (mouse steering doesn't allow you to control your throttle and brake input ofc). So I guess I need to wait for a steering wheel to learn that.
I enjoyed playing offline with bots and doing some laps in practice mode tho. Maybe I will focus more on improving my racing skills later when I managed to buy an steering wheel.
(Sorry for my grammar. It's bad I know)
Your grammars sound pal.......
@@daviddawson4655 yeah I know. Sorry about that
@@mikosfy I'm not sure why you apologised mate.....please don't,I wasn't having a go I honestly meant your English is ok.....🙂
@@daviddawson4655 oh that's what you meant. I'm sorry mate. Thanks for that David.
I’m an Amateur, 7-8 hours a week, makes mistakes but still fast and competitive.
Sounds like me
cool intro, but it could be bettet if it was a viper lol
ACC system is lame. The game consider me as pro but i'm clearly an amature.
PC (Pace) is not related with your race pace, PC is raleted with your skill (position) in game special events.
You can disable the ranking system in offline mode to practice.
Viper, have you ever tried drifting? I have never seen you drift in any sim racing games before. If you don't like drifting then why is the reason?
PS: you vids are great! Keep it up
I have an opposite rule: fast in slow out
Me that touches sim racers once in a full moon. Guess I'm a beginner then
Bel video, migliora ancora un po' l'accento e avrai qualche milione di iscritti!
Who am i, if when i started to play Suzuka first time, i drive the hotlap with no mistakes, first time after 1-2 laps
First of all i Love that "Driver" Intro. Im a Amateure with the effort of an pro, at least when it comes to hours spend a week. Best thing to learn and get faster is racing with the fast ones and watch ur replays :) keep up the great Videos Mate Love ur Content
holy Jesus, i'm trying so hard to improve my skills, trying to avoid all these mistakes, but on really, i'm so distance of a great performance. But i'll continue to perserverance and study more. I'm greatful for your videos, them make me better lap after lap, Thank You
When I am on my game, i can venture just below Alien but most of the time I'd consider myself pro. I've been simracing since 2006
I'm probably close to pro, I haven't been racing with a wheel for very long, really only consistantly sense early june this year, but I've been playing racing games sense forza 3 came out (realized I probably need to specify now, motorsport 3 not horizon) and have quite a bit of track and car knowledge, my pace is pretty consistant and I apply theory fairly well, but my pace could be a lot better, considering I usually play modded ac I could definately be spinning out and making big mistakes a lot more than I am.
Another good way to test your skill level is to join a (not too big) community online. Race after race u can compare your results with other drivers.
In every community I joined I was always from few tenths to few seconds slower than top aces. Usually I'm on top 5 (depending on how big is the community or its average level), I won races and get many podiums, fighting against pros and sometimes aliens. So I can say I feel like a pro, but not an alien unfortunately
I'd say I'm somewhere in between an amateur and pro since I'm very clean, consistent, practice gradual acceleration to avoid wheelspin, and always brake early, hitting the apexes 99.5% of the time. I'm great with sequential shifters, but I struggle with using a clutch. paddles to the rescue I guess, LOL
I'm probably an amateur I race like 10 hours a week, I know most of the techniques. Currently I am grinding Spa lap times in GT4 cars and learning how to tune cars.
I thought PC in ACC is just how strong you are in certain modes given by devs against real people -> time trials or sprint races
That's CP I believe, Competition Mode
@@Luca_Amaral na PC for pace where you have either time trials or shorter endu races n shit
@@kongagaa1910 My message wasn't very clear, I mean that there is one for what you're talking about and another one for just raw speed, I just don't know which is which
in arcade racing you can still have beginners, amateurs, pros and even aliens
in wreckfest i used to race competively on manteln alot
great fun and i learned how to read other drivers soo i often am able to avoid crashes
I think I would place myself between amateur and pro'. I know most of the tracks and I have done countless battles on Gran Turismo but there are times where I would give in the pressure and others where I feel mentally as solid as a rock just hunting for a better laptime and improving my driving line during close races
I have logitech dfgt, its a good begginer wheel, you can drift with it, and if you practice enough, you can be good with it too
I find if I race bad drivers I drive bad, if I race good drivers I race good. Patience is my problem
That's an easy answer, if you drive in chase cam view in every game, you're an amateur driver.
So, I've been playing racing games since 2014, on my Xbox 360, with games like Need For Speed: Most Wanted 2012, The Run, Carbon, Hot Pursuit 2010, Shift 1, Colin McRae DiRT 2, Test Drive Unlimited 2, Forza Horizon 1, Forza Motorsport 2 and 4, I even have spent a couple of hours on Superbike World Championship 08 and Superstars V8 Next Challenge. I think I would be somewhere between amateur and pro, but also somewhere between amateur and beginner, because I play around 4 h/week.
I played GT Sport to death... because, my PC can't handle games like ACC. For time trials in GTS, I'm mostly consistently in the top 2000-3000s on any track and any car. Online races, regularly starting around top 10s usually gain places. However struggling to win 9/10 times against A+/S. So... what am I ?
LISTEN OUT!! If you do most or even all of your "sim-racing" on FORZA then basically none of the words viper spoke will really apply, as forza has pretty unrealistic racing physics and people who ABSOLUTELY LOVE to disrespect racing lines and track limits, and so you can be a complete amateur for a race, but then you can also be a professional from time to time as you develop a "forza" driving style.😂
That "Driver" intro looks very nice
Definitely an amateur.
But been off from online racing since 2010-2011 (kids n family) until nov 2020 (divorced and kids live at their mom).
Beeing a complete idiot when it comes to controller racing doesn't makes things any better or easier as well...
Don't even own a PC, plays on Xbox One X which doesn't support the old trusty G25 of mine, also feels a bit 😤 .
Atm if trying ACC it'd rate me to more or less zero;
Can't even get a lap on FM7 without spinning out, due to hard time learning controller racing...
👎💩☹️🤦
So you're telling me that slamming into the car ahead on a corner in order to slow down isn't a pro strat?
To be fair, I am an amateur, but also in a sense alien. I make 0 mistakes on average per race, but hardly put any sort of effort in to become better. I often come 10-5 in a race of 20-30 contenders, which is strange, considering I will do average 20-30 hours of racing PER YEAR. I have other hobbies to chase, but if I am bored, I will grab my controller, (yes, I use a controller) and do a race or two at Bathurst, in the Holden V8 supercar because it is fun. To be fair, this greatness may be because I’m Australian
ACC tells me that my category is GOLD and I have 100 Car Control rating. However my competition is ZERO an my safety is 71. Now I know how to improve.
I do not consider myself anything tbh because I only play and hour or two each months but I used to play a lot in the past (15-20 Hours a week).
But there’s only one advice that I can give just: Take A Break.
I used to Take a break between a week or a month and come back. (Not because I was bored)
Every time I did that I came back better, idk if it’s the same thing for the others.
I’ve done this quite a few times where I thought I wasn’t improving at all so I changed games or just stopped playing.
Guess what?
I always improved after a break because it gave me time to assimilate everything I learned, and rest as well.
I feel like I'm in between a beginner and an amateur. I can drive without major assists like TC and ABS, but I couldn't turn off racing line for any tracks unless I've spent a ridiculous amount of time on them. The Nordschleife is the only track I could drive without racing line. Also, my consistency is that of Pastor Maldonado. I can be "fast" but I also have the tendency to make mistakes and crash. But it's not like I'm not trying to improve myself though!
Me sitting here thinking... Jeah im just bearely a pro driver... Having multiple top 100 times in dirt rally and dirt rally 2.0 with my highest score being a top 17 time (top 8 when driven)... And all that with keyboard only...
Damn it. I don't know where I fit. I put outstanding lap times with no assists (besides cornering line because I don't know all the tracks by knowledge). I'm definitely not a pro either because well, I'm just fucking nit😂. Definitely not a beginner. I'm like 5 above amateur.
I do pass lows 6 hrs per week but, i have 6 years of sim racing and 2 to 3 years of sim drifting.
My knowledge of setup is master cause i am car mechanic and i am building a drift car so...
Since i've never finish podium in the Ultimate Drift Games (brazilians official drift competition IRL and sim, witch i drive), i cant say im a Alien but i am a car nerd and proud to say i am PRO
Been away from iRacing for a pretty long time. Came back and discovered that this new influx of racers are the worst thing possible. So many idiots.
I wish iRacing would make getting out of rookie 10x harder. Honestly so many clowns.
I'm not an Alien, but I am consistently in the Top 5% of the leaderboards. My specialties are tire wear, fuel economy and setting up and completing passes. Great for endurance racing, but I can have trouble in sprints. I have been racing for 20 years, starting with the first Gran Turismo. I like to consider myself a filthy pro casual. I have loads of track experience, and don't need much practice to be fast. I jump into lobbies as an unknown and put myself on the podium all the time.
I'm definitely an amateur here. While my only experience in sim racing are AI races and a little hotlapping in various sims and simcades, I think I just about pass as decent maybe.
Pace wise I'm either mediocre or shit lol, I lack knowledge in setting up the car, and I literally only know Monza (at least in ACC which is where I want to focus on more serious sim racing), and my driving and car control isn't as great as I would like.
But I'm having fun doing it and that's what is important .
I guess pro? I’m usually within the top 1000 for time trial on f1 and I’m pretty consistent usually and I’ve been playing since 2014, but I just don’t put more than 15 hours a week.
I play F1 Mobile Racing, I know it's probably not a sim-racing game or a sim-arcade game, but I often drive my car brutally, I always push my car really hard, and eventually I made a lot of mistakes and lost some positions, especially after gain a position and try to defend it. After watching this video, I think I'm an amateur.
ACC ratings is absolute bullshit.
Started recently with CC99 and few times spun, now 95 because of other players "driving" skills.
Idk if i'm a pro playing about 5+ per Day but most of the time Training with bots or even alone bc i have pretty bad experience With online lobbys bc i mostly take it very serious And when a guy just ram me away on purpose i quit and dont play online for days🤷🏼♂️
Depends on the game. I'm personally not huge into sims. I like them and they're pretty fun but I hammer down on myself for not being 100% accurate and the game becomes more of a hassle then fun. That's obviously a fault of mine and I'm always working on it. I tend to lean more towards the arcade style like the Forza Horizon series were I'm not obligated to push as hard as I can all the time. These games are super fun and even if I lose it's fine because I had fun whether it was dealing with toxic players or making the elitists rage quit. So I'd say amateur in Sims but definitely pro in arcade.
After playing alot of project trackday (it's a roblox racing sim, in a stretch and because my laptop cannot handle even the racing sims that come first in the pc). I manage to learn quite fast in tracks that I was not familiar, I also understand how to brake in different car models, how you control that specific car and such.
Because of my facination about how cool racing sims are, I tried playing gran turismo on the psp. I also have the gran turismo on the ps1, but I like the cockpit view on the psp.
Let's just say that with what I learned in the game, some of it transferred to gt. I am currently beating rank A drivers after 3 days of driving sarthe 223 and the old one with no corners on the fast straight.
I know I know, roblox and old gt games won't make any difference and I would just be lower than the beginner class, but hey atleast I tried. Maybe someday I would get the real stuff and be a beginner or amateur on it, but not today.
I hope you all have a great day.
Not sure why am I watching this(is 2am) After 4 years of competitive racing in karting and sim racing. I would still consider myself as an amateur despite having similar pace with some league racers sometimes in GT3. Often make stupid mistakes by pushing too hard and not experience enough in wet conditions
Am definitely not a pro, but I'll get there, I spend about 20 hours on racing sims per week, I play since 2014, but I'm kinda inconsistent, I was a drifter now I'm turning into a racer and touge driver.
Id consider myself an alien. Its been quite some time since I popped a GT disc into my ps3, but when GT 6 was still online, I was consistently setting record laptimes in the top 50-400 every week without much practice or playtime at all. I drive professionally now, but not on a track. Although the way I drive my rig would make you think otherwise.
Oh, and fun fact: ive never owned a steering wheel for GT. Id did all of this with a controller and a few hours of time per week. I never made it into the GT competitions, simply due to the fact that they guys that spend 80+ hours a week on the game knew every exploit on the track. But I always gave them a run for their money early on in GT5, and its something I'll always remember.
“Your goal is not to win. Your goal is to go faster. “
“Sometimes you deal with traffic, sometimes you are the traffic.”
When you’re up against a driver that you need to push hard to pass, you have a chance to get faster. Leisurely follow them for a lap or two; observe.
Where are you faster? That’s a passing opportunity.
Where are they faster? Can you replicate it or adapt it to your driving style?
This approach helps many people keep cool and collected, excited even to see a faster driver in their side view mirror. This translates to less incidents, more races finished, and subsequently more races won.
Hi to all , i'm a beginner , just 2 months in GT on PS4 . I know practice makes you better , but some things i can't get my head around . Like how to drive without traction on the car . If you have any tips on that , pls let me know . Peace and fast laps to all . 😁👍🏻🍀
i think im something betwen amatuer and pro. ive been simracing for abaut 3 years. i play dirt rally 2.0 and p cars 2 on a xbox one s with a 100$ hori wheel.In pcars 2 i spin at the end of a 20 minute race like 40% of the time but i race with 104% difficulty bots. in dirt rally 2.0 i crash rarely and (i think) im very competetive but slower than aliens. my gap to a wr on a stage i push for like 10-15 tries is like 30 seconds to a minute 20 but it depends on the times people set. what do you think?
From the perspective of someone who has been playing with sims since Grand Turismo first came out for playstation, I have to say this: If you can't complete a race in first, without track offs, unsportsmanlike contact, or dive bombing corners and using a shady pass-and-block maneuver on your way out of corners racing against AI, you have no business racing against other people.
You forgot one thing that defines pros from aliens and I would say that's knowing ALL the setup details and having custom tunes for each track, (ride stiffness, rollbars, etc) I can consistantly finish 5 to 7 in the Tatus FA01 lobbies on Asetto Corsa, I would say I'm an Pro Amateur, there are tracks I know and can be very deadly on and race every lap within 300's of a second on my splits but what I struggle with is tunning.
I'd say I'm comfortably a high-amateur or (very) low pro. I have the experience of a pro and would like to think I understand racing theory and execute it very well, but I absolutely do not have the consistency or the stress tolerance of what you define as "pro" yet. It really depends on the day for me. One day, most likely after I graduate college I will most likely see some real improvements in my racing skill.
I am a totally beginner. I brake super late, I ram people (mostly because I have no idea how to keep racing line or enter corners, not because I intend to ram them) and I usually spin in the first corner especially when using RWD cars.
Also I play racing games like 2 hours a week.....and I have zero knowledge of tracks and how to tackle them.
What game is that around the 10:00 mark with the Lexus following the GTR? The sound coming from the GTR is pretty authentic.
On acc I have 9845 total and I don't think I'm a pro... just an amateur who piss off Pro drivers. Lol maybe someday I'll be a pro
i think that i'm a amateur in psych, since i looked up a lot about cars and racing in general, and even tried to apply it and look for a engaging way to connect with the Racing Genre, but my soul is from a beginner who don't really like racing that much, i pretty much stood in FH4 since the start and i love to max and speed test cars performances, the glow in racing for me is not to stand in the podium and things like that, i like to see the cars passing each other, and if i like one car i don't bother to look it from behind for a while before i ram into oblivion and quit 10 seconds later to build the car i'm into rn, don't get me wrong about this ramming thing i don't really play online, and when i do i usually don't even touch the other cars unless extremely necessary (which i think is a really nice quality to master in my crazy driving style) or if it's an accident, i have this beginner thing that i'm trying to get rid of that is I LOVE FAST CARS, but just when you're laying 120mph with just a 2 second press into full throttle and i find myself in a pretty embarrassing close turn, it's quite impossible to not use the walls as a "guide me daddy" thing, and since i'm mainly focusing on straight line performance i don't really practice cornering that much, this video made me realize how stupid i look by not cornering or focusing on being steady instead of "i have only 2 buttons, one go on the other one go on too but the other way around"
Honestly don't think it's fair to group people by the number of hours they play a week. I've raced vs good drivers that are just "weekend drivers" who pretty much play under 5 hrs, practice considered.
I would call myself seasoned casual. I have the experience, but I tend to dislike practice and I like to jump straight into races. I can even give aliens run for their money sometimes. But I lack the ability to push myself. I can drive consistently, but often not fast enough. I enjoy the racing part, but I hate the practice. ^^ I sold my sim setup a while ago. While I miss it sometimes, I still can have fun races in more casual games.
You are about 80% the way there on The ratings in ACC, pace you got wrong, its based off Competitive mode. and ACC dosnt really change, you can fix your stats no problem by racing the AI its not a perfect system which is why people like the sim grid are trying to copy Iracings to get a better idea on ratings and where to place people in Splits
I'm definitely classified as an amateur I've been playing on and off for 5 years, frequently for 3. I have impeccable pace, awareness, and reaction as long as I see somebody else's time at the top. Normally I carry great pace but I screw up as I am not motivated, the only times I drive impeccably is time trials, and racing against someone else.
I think the weirdest thing is that when I screw up in a race I manage to save it, and come just short or match the last lap. I'm never able to replicate the result outside of a race. It's frustrating to try to improve but not be able to match my own pace in a race while in a private practice on my own. I drive Nordschleife about 90% of the time that I race or practice.
I seriously can't solve this puzzle. If anyone can help me figure out whatever problem whether mentally, or physically, or both.
I tend to zone out in a race and then realize that I've set a fastest lap or moved up a position. But I can't do that on my hot lapping in practice.
I haven't watched you in a while... I think I stopped about when you started speaking in ur vids... But I can say your English is a lot better... Keep it up!
I would say I'm a pro... I'm in that mighty gap of 1 sec to typical rly fast aliens times... sometimes I'm a bit closer and sometimes a bit further away from them.. at some tracks I am able to keep up with some aliens ...oooh pressure from behind is my weakness sometimes.. I'm not good at keeping my pace when someone is behind me ... I'm doing more mistakes xD even now after like 6 years of sim racing or for example nearly 3k hours in acc I'm doing mistakes.. and always learn something new from friends and alien drivers...
I'm a clean amateur, I mostly play f1 games and if I hook up a good lap in hotlap mode I can be within 1-2 seconds of aliens but I don't have any consistency whatsoever. It's probably that I'm impatient but I like to blame my controller :d
I'm probably an out of practice pro because I have the clean lines and the consistency, but I'm off pace and don't spend all my time racing, but have been racing with a wheel since 1998, just rarely venture online
What do you mean. ULTRA SUPER LATE BRAKING is the greatest technique
I'm not even sure if I'm beginner or amateur. I have decent track kmowledge but I race with keyboard and mouse on Assetto Corsa. Plus, J don't really use setups that much
My times on gt sport say that I’m a pro but I’ve only had the game for 4 months and practice about 3-5 hours a week and don’t make many mistakes during races. What would I be considered in that case😂😂
I am a amateur so far
I play GT Sport and in the Sport mode I usually start in the 10th position due my time in the classificatory lap. I know the basics of driving in a racing track but I can't find the right braking point, sometimes it's too early or too late. The racing line is also a challenge because I always try to follow it but in most parts of the race I find myself out the racing line. I do some mistakes in racing but I consider myself fast and not a idiot on track, because, as I said, I usually start at 10th position but always finish at 4th at least.
I try my best to avoid crashes and I pay many attention on the leaders to learn their driving style and I use it to improve myself. It is working .
5:59 Forza doesn't respect the golden rule of sport driving however. They have their own golden rule called "Ram in fast out."
Personally I'm an amateur even after spending over 10 hours on racing games though I like to think I'm almost pro my main problem is late braking but my time playing forza horizon 4 has helped to improve my abilities and I should get aseto corsa to well get gud
Idk whats my category,i have a lot of experience,i play sim games and racing games in general since i have memory ,i play with no assist only depending of the game I use abs bc i play in controller and it's harder but only in games like F1 and I don't make a lot of mistakes and I think I'm kinda fast but Idk how to create a setup so what could be my category?
After 300hour of beamng I still don't know if I'm a beginner or amateur cause I always drifting without loosing control
0:28 YO HOLD UP, is that haven city's music I hear in the background?!
I did not expect to hear my fav game's ost in this video ngl xD
I rally as my main sim racing sport. I can drive as fast as the aliens and can compete with their times if I have a clean run, but make as many mistakes as an amateur which leaves bordering pro level. Thanks to this video I think I’ve learned where my biggest mistake is. Patience. Once I can be patient and learn how to handle each corner perfectly, I think I can start competing! To the future!
I am a very competitive sim racer (Not completely a pro but make very less mistakes and have decent experience), unfortunately my steering wheel broke, it shifts up two times when I press the pedal once and keeps giving full left input even when I am turning right or not even turning, after a lot of convincing I finally convinced my father to get a new steering wheel for me since I have been using that steering wheel for 11 yrs, I will get it when I reach my weight loss goal, so now I exercise in my playing time to reach my weight loss goal faster 😄
