Training to go faster. Now that is a thought.

I did not mention "be faster", mentioned "less slow", and although it looks the same sentence is not, the first would be too haughtiness, and the second is with modesty, are you agree?. ;D I think the lapper is the reference, and I said: "train together" to know who can compete wheel to wheel, and with whom I should be more cautious. For me personally the training last Sunday, I clarified the doubts that I had, and left me a good lesson for the race next weekend. And I'm in the same!, Train ... Greetings!

Yes, I felt, however we have seen that is not enough, you have to know to drive in traffic, and do the pit stop just in time. Patience is the name of the game ... in my town says: "slowly, that I will hurry" ... ;D

I have that problem too, because I don't drive enough online. I can be fast but I'm mostly totally unable to hold a position in a dog fight. Or I just panic if someone catches me

The traffic is not a problem, it is on this track! .. that is very fast corners, where the aerodynamics of the car goes down when you're entering suction behind someone, you have to drive differently when you come stuck behind someone, doing different strokes to not get into the trap of sand or on the wall.
As to what you mention panic, just happened to me at first, but to the extent that I moved my car to the side of the track so that others will, hahaha, I was taken away with the practice.
I noticed your nervousness, after 2 laps to be behind you (race 1) and looking for ways to spend as I decided and I spent at the chicane on lap 8, believe me I did it with my eyes closed , first because I'm not used to driving in the cockpit view, at second on that even if you turn to the side view, the car will not let you look FBM anything, just looks lateral protection for the head, so I do not know exactly how far is the car that comes right next to you. So all I did is take the inside position, keep as close as possible to the right to try to give you enough space, and already in the output as I see the mirrors, because if you let me go to make clean off the chicane. Reviewing the mpr saw you were very cautious in managing the chicane.
It was a very critical moment for me.

yes, that was a very mannish and baldy pass, not knowing exactly your style of driving I played it safe just in case... I know that others would have just pretend to make the pass but stay behind because really, you have to be completely crazy to overtake in the chicane when there's just so many straight lines where you can make a clean pass I could have keep my racing line but no doubt that we would both have ended embedded in the wall. Sometimes too, when I'm 2nd or 3rd, I think that it makes more sense to just let a faster car pass then follow him until we catch up the leader, rather than fight and lose a lot of time and let the leader go away in the mean time. But maybe that's more a moto2 strategy, where you have lots of opportunities to pass, not like those big cars.

I have a question: the SC appears only when an accident happens?, Or if not that accidents happen, you can make the SC at random?

Here are the conditions for needing the SC.
Situation :
9.1 A car is flipped 9.2 You are stuck in the gravel, you can't go back to the track after number of retries 9.3 Only the stuck racer or every admin who thinks such a situation is at hand, can call out for a SC procedure.
You can not call for the SC if you have damaged suspension, but you are still able to proceed safely back to the pits. But remember to keep an eye on the minimap and your mirrors so you can stay out of the way of other drivers.

Of course, that does NOT mean that you can call the safety car when you want for strategic reasons !!! The safety car can ONLY be called IF you are NOT able to race - because you are stuck in the gravel pit - because you flipped on your roof or side - because your car is too damaged to reach pits (I insist before some smart guy try to use the rule book at its advantage as usual,)
