This week we're going to look at about how I practice and improve my racing skills in iRacing.

In this video, I'll walk you through my practice routine that has helped me shave seconds off my lap times and feel somewhat competitive in iRacing. Here's a breakdown of what you can expect:

Analyzing the Competition: The first step in my practice routine is to look up the lap times of the fastest drivers in the session. I'll show you how I use this data to set a realistic goal, aiming to get within 2% of their lap times. This way I have a clear target to work towards.

Hitting the Track: With my target lap time in mind, I hit the track and start turning laps until I start to hit a wall.

Utilizing Telemetry Data: To gain a deeper understanding of where I'm losing time, I turn to telemetry data. I'll demonstrate how I use a site like Garage61 to analyze my laps and pinpoint areas where I can make gains.

Learning from the Best: Once I've identified weaknesses in my driving, I'll compare my telemetry data with that of faster drivers. This step is crucial for understanding what the top racers are doing differently and where I can make adjustments.

Focused Improvement: Armed with insights from the data, I head back onto the track with a specific focus on the areas I need to improve.

Repetition and Refinement: Practice makes perfect. I'll discuss the importance of repetition and the concept of diminishing returns. Knowing when to stop and reflect on your progress is key to continuous improvement.
