Very interesting thread, because there is very informative videos which should be useful for many of us if more "visible".
I am not a quick simracer. I am somewhere around 1:58:7 at the moment. (-20 at Grand prix legends rank). But what is sure is that I could gain 2" yesterday evening just after looking at a 1:54 lap video yesterday (before I found this thread).
So, I think that theses quick lap time videos are very informative and should not be hidden somewhere but gathered on a sticky post.
At first sight, some lap times are incredible. But I am not among those who think that there must be "liars". Just because I had the opportunity to see Grand Prix legends "aliens / Rank -80" in action "live", and the fact is that they are 6" faster as I am on about every tracks. It is a fact
I am fighting against myself only, and I am very happy if some guys can go quicker as I can do .
Why so much differences ?
First, I discovered that I was not braking properly ("full"), just by seeing that the guys turn the brakes "red" instead of "orange"
Second, I was for sure on a bad racing line in some places on the track. (and it is for sure always the case).
Third, I discovered that the red line is not "red", but "blue" in the lamborghini. I was not shifting properly !
It is a pity that we don't have such a wonderful tool as GPL race analyser, where we can upload replay files and compare the racing lines.
I can remember myself comparing my laps with world records in Grand Prix legends, and I have learned a lot from that. I just wish that some genius modder could provide us with such software for assetto corsa 1- 2 . It would be sooooo great.
So, a big big thank you to all quick guys sharing videos. It makes us all improve a lot as simracers . It is important and should be more "visible" on the forum.
(I didn't speak about setup, just because the quick guys at 1:52 could lap at 1:54 with 60l and base safe setup , and they are always 4" quicker as I am !!)
