    Practice. Suggest to practice more closely following other drivers. Not fast necessarily or trying to pass, but just sitting as close behind as possible. Adjust braking points earlier, especially with the overspeed from slipstream, and aim to get a better corner exit rather than being the last of the late breakers. Go for consistency rather than ultimate pace. In a word, practice.

    Couldn't agree more with this comment. Practicing with others in close proximity will help your racecraft immensely. Brake earlier when chasing someone as you will have slipstream. I've messaged you a few times @Blunty075 with all these hints and tips for this kind of racing. Understandably with the amount of cars and close proximity of the track it can very much cause panic.

    You're quick, you have the pace, I've seen you blast off and be unable to catch you. Just have to really practice being behind someone and the late braking - you can't brake in the same spot as you would by yourself. You got this.

    The feedback here is sound.
    I get to practise most days, as was mentioned last night. I guess the assumption was that I didn't do a lot of practise, but I get on almost every day and do a full tank run everytime. It's one of the reasons I've been a bridesmaid almost every damn round..
    But the practise I do get in is without others on track, due to when I'm able to get on (after everyone else has logged off for the night..) So I don't get that close quarters racing that others get.
    This is likely where I'm falling down. Dealing with close quarters racing..
    It is one of the things I wanted to improve this season with the slower car, etc. I guess it hasn't played out how I wanted it too..

    But yes, practise with others and you'll be ok.

    Thanks for being there again!
    Yeah It's a nice circuit, once you figure out a couple of corners it can be very rewarding.
    Cheers for the banter @pat65 , no real digs mate, just some fun! (i must admit, when you were off the track at turn 5 I briefly seen you re-enter out the corner of my eye and I didn't have time to react and move away, so I unfortunately smashed straight into you, but I did chuckle to myself, and didn't lift the throttle :))
