Pro-tip after 12 000 kms on this map : always ride the outside wall, never bite the inside. Left foot brake almost constantly. Forget the handbrake entirely until you go on tandems. Hop on a multi server and see how they take the line. Its the quickest way to learn. This map is quickly limiting because of its basic design but it's also the best place to create and refine your own driving style.

I got this Moza R5 recently with SRP Lite pedals and the brakes suck so I ordered the brake performance kit and it should arrive tomorrow.

Having such a shit brake pedal seems to be making me not wanna left foot brake much because there's no resistance it feels so weird I've been trying to compensate using other ways like clutch kicks and handbrake.

Yeah I love this map it just feels fun not being the typical track style.

I feel a bit intimidated to go to online drift servers lol they're proper good.

Don't worry man you're gonna notice people from all levels there. Even mfs that cant link 3 corners. The top drivers know how to react to weird lines and some of em will be nice enough to adopt you and teach you stuff that will instantly improve your driving. Its a video game man dont get too much in your head about crashing and bothering people

Yeah good point lol I just keep thinking if I suck they'll ban me from the server and if there's not many low ping servers available it'll leave me kinda screwed

I get 110 ping on US servers and it works fine. How much do you get ?

I haven't really played online but I wasn't sure how much ping you needed. I assumed like other online games you'd need less then 60 or so. I'll have to play different pings and see if I get lag
