Re: We need to talk about assists

Racing line is not faster.  It’s way conservative when it tells you to brake and doesn’t use the entire width off the track. And not to mention doesn’t show apex.   It’s a good tool for helping learn track layouts. That’s it

No consistent drivers are not the fastest.  Consistent drivers focus on Race length and don’t try for fastest lap.   Consistent drivers set up their car to be stable throughout a entire race. Balancing handling, tyre wear and speed. So have less reliance off assists: it’s about doing every lap tyre type depending within 3 tenths lap after lap.  Consistent drivers learn most efficient way round a track.  

Hot lappers lean on assists to help keep fheir very fast but very unstable setup on track.
